  • The Other World and Its Quest for Equilibrium
    paperback
    The Other World and Its Quest for Equilibrium
    Kevin O’Connor

    The reckless behaviour of the Republic of the Rabbits is causing alarm among the insects, birds, and animals of the Other World. Everyone wants equilibrium, but the rabbits’ actions are upsetting the humans in the house and risk destabilising that balance, which in turn could be exploited by nefarious outside forces, particularly the foxes. Can the League of Species overcome the Axis of Malcontents to restore the Equilibrium of the Other World?

     

    This book is a work of creative imagination seen through the eyes of the non‑humans as well as the man and woman in the house. It offers perspectives and insights into a made-up world that resonates with the geopolitical ambitions and threats to civilisation in our complex, conflicted twenty-first-century reality. The narrative is fantastical, glimpsing a world we little understand; at times tragic, but with a positive outlook, it draws on insights the author gained from a career in government service, work that often involved the kind of management, administration, and foreign-relations interaction enacted in The Other World.

    Ballad of the Bewitched
    Melissa Voller

    In a time when gods walked among mortals, Lysander, god of humanity, and Selene, goddess of the fae, created the world from their powerful union. To live amongst their creations, they each stored most of their divine essence in a hidden cave.


    But the fae, driven by envy, betrayed Selene, killing her in a reckless bid for power. Instead of gaining her strength, they unleashed a curse that withered Celestis.


    Now, the cunning fae prince Kallix seeks to reunite the crown and find Selene’s cave, promising to restore Celestis. To succeed, he kidnaps Princess Mira, the only being who can wield the rare power over plants and the key to unlocking the cave’s secrets. Thrown into a world of peril and magic, Mira must learn to control her abilities and navigate the dangerous world of magic.


    And as they journey through Celestis, an unexpected bond forms between Kallix and Mira. But with the fate of Celestis hanging in the balance and Kallix’s true intentions shrouded in secrecy, their growing connection could be as treacherous as the journey itself. Will they restore the world or destroy each other in the process?

    K.M Simon

    He was raised to hunt witches. She’s the one he was never meant to find.


    Ravenna has lived with blood on her hands and fire beneath her skin. In a kingdom where witches are executed and magic is a curse, survival means silence. But when she’s forced into a political betrothal and her power begins to slip, she knows it’s only a matter of time before the flames consume her.

    Then comes Finn.


    A ghost in the Order’s ranks. Their deadliest weapon. He was never meant to feel, never meant to falter—but from the moment he sees her, something breaks. She’s not his target. She’s a mirror. A threat. A tether he never asked for but can’t sever.


    When their bond erupts in the heat of battle, it marks them both. Hunted by the crown, betrayed by their own, and bound by a prophecy soaked in blood, Finn and Ravenna must choose whether to run from what ties them together—or let it burn the world around them.


    Love was never part of the plan.

    But some bonds go deeper than fate.


    Violent, sensual, and haunting, Bound by Shadows is a dark romantic fantasy about monsters made by men, magic that cannot be silenced, and a love that was never meant to survive—but refuses to die.

  • The Beginning
    paperback
    The Beginning
    Stuart Munro

    Before the beginning of time, the Eldest God created the Lesser Gods.  They then all turned to the creation of the worlds. They created the stars, the moons and all the worlds of the universe.  When all was completed, they took their rest.


    As they looked upon the world below them, darkness was seen creeping across the surface. “What is it that creeps across the world below us?” they asked the Eldest God.


    “It is something that tries to turn everything it touches to evil.  It will go throughout the world trying to maim and destroy,” answered the Eldest God.


    “It should be destroyed,” the lesser gods decided, but the eldest stopped them.


    “It cannot ever be completely destroyed.  It must continue with this world on the path that has been appointed. But someone must be chosen to be the one to fight the darkness at the appointed time.  Which of you, therefore, wishes to take up this weighty position?” he asked.


    The lesser gods shifted uneasily, but not one of them stepped forth to take up the position.  The eldest was angry at this stance. “I will travel this world, then, and choose a man from among the inhabitants of this world.  A man who shall have the power to defend this world against all evil.”


    The lesser gods looked at the eldest, shamefaced. “So be it!” they intoned.

    Enchantment
    Jill Nutbeem

    David, at age ten, had one passion in his young life: he loved rock-pooling, where he would spend hours on the beach searching for rock-pools that the receding tide had left behind.  One day, though, an amazing sight met his eyes as a small face grinned back at him from the rock pool. Indicating that he should join them, he found himself sitting on soft sand surrounded by little people laughing and squealing in high-pitched voices. After being entertained, he was restored to the side of the rock pool where his bucket and net remained unattended. Wondering if this could be sunstroke, he blinked twice, but the little people had gone from his sight. On the way home, he pondered what had happened, resolving to tell nobody. As the years progressed, he finally left school and attended university to pursue a career as a marine biologist, giving him every opportunity to search the oceans of the world to find his newfound friends, but he had no sight or sound of them.  Marriage to Stephanie and two children later, he was none the wiser; he even searched the Mariana Trench, but nothing showed up. On his son's eighteenth birthday he took the family to NASA Space Station in Florida, and there, one day on the beach, he disappeared from view.  Police and tracker dogs searched the beaches but could not find any explanation for David's disappearance.  A distraught Stephanie returned home to resume her life without David. Suddenly a telephone call alerted her from Florida that a body had been found thirteen years later and identified by a diver's wristwatch as being David; he hadn't aged! Interrogated by police and thought to be used in an international smuggling organisation, Interpol kept them under hotel arrest whilst they investigated his bizarre story of being taken by the little people, where he was made to work under the surface of the sea to encourage sailors to their doom. Finally, David began to age until he was near seventy years, thereafter being allowed home for he and Stephanie to resume their lives together.
