Fact #257 – Allie Sai should have been named "Unlucky." It made complete sense that the girl terrified of flying and aliens would be drafted for colonization of an alien planet. Right? Right?? In her mind, she had one choice. Desertion. But again… Unlucky. She should've known better. A failed escape attempt leaves her chained to an airship chair with nothing but her bag, a vial of her family's super moonshine, and her anxiety for company. Fact #372 – Sometimes moonshine is not the answer. Numbing her fear seemed like a brilliant idea – until pirates attack her ship looking for goods of the female variety. Looks like she'll have to save herself, but… unlucky strike three. Fact #401 – Pirates aren't princes. They're extortionists. It was just one sip… maybe two. When fantasy and reality blur, can Allie save herself? Mixologists and Pirates Series1. Amber Vial2. Emerald Bane3. Scarlet Venom4. Onyx Elixir "I found the writing to be on par with Queen (Sarah J.)

Part 1 of Jill Williamson’s Epic Fantasy Series The Kinsman Chronicles The god of the soil is furious. Volcanic eruptions, sinkholes, earthquakes–everything points to his unhappiness. At least this is what the people of Armania in the Five Realms believe. Amid the unsettling state of the world around them, the princes of Armania live their lives focused more on who will claim the throne after their sickly father, King Echad, dies. That is until Prince Wilek’s concubine turns up dead–beside her, a bloodied message that seems to have come from the mother realms. Darkness Reigns is collected together with parts 2 and 3 in King’s Folly.
