Black Blade Blues by J. A. Pitts Pdf

Sarah Beauhall has more on her plate than most twenty-somethings: day job as a blacksmith, night job as a props manager for low-budget movies, and her free time is spent fighting in a medieval re-enactment group. The lead actor breaks Sarah's favorite one-of-a-kind sword, and to avoid reshooting scenes, Sarah agrees to repair the blade. One of the extras, who claims to be a dwarf, offers to help. And that's when things start to get weird. Could the sword really be magic, as the "dwarf" claims? Are dragons really living among us as shapeshifters? And as if things weren't surreal enough, Sarah's girlfriend Katie breaks out the dreaded phrase... "I love you." As her life begins to fall apart, first her relationship with Katie, then her job at the movie studio, and finally her blacksmithing career, Sarah hits rock bottom. It is at this moment, when she has lost everything she has prized, that one of the dragons makes their move. And suddenly what was unthinkable becomes all too real...and Sarah will have to decide if she can reject what is safe and become the heroine who is needed to save her world.

Forged in Fire by J. A. Pitts Pdf

Sarah Jane Beauhall thinks she's getting her life in order. The blacksmith turned dragon slayer has it all figured out—little things like dealing with the political intrigue of dragons who secretly run our world and learning to wield the magic that she has been given by none other than Odin, who has been fighting the dragons for millennia. And then there is the matter of coming to terms with who she is...and how to build a life with her partner, Katie. All these things are forced into the background, however, when a magic-wielding serial killer starts prowling the Pacific Northwest. All of his victims have ties to Sarah. Sarah will have to unravel the web she finds closing around her as a powerful necromancer and a crazed blood cult known as the Dragon Liberation Front work to tear apart everything she holds dear. Forged in Fire is the third title in J.A. Pitts's urban fantasy series

The Black Song by Anthony Ryan Pdf

A matchless warrior is pitted against a near-God in the second epic installment of the Raven’s Blade series. It has long been our lot in life, brother, to do what others can’t. Vaelin Al Sorna was known across the realm as the greatest of warriors, but he thought battles were behind him. He was wrong. Prophecy and rumor led him across the sea to find a woman he once loved, and drew him into a war waged by the Darkblade, a man who believes himself a god—and one who has gathered a fanatical army that threatens all of the known world. After a costly defeat by the Darkblade, Vaelin’s forces are shattered, while the self-proclaimed immortal and his army continue their terrible march. But during the clash, Vaelin regained some of the dark magic that once gave him unrivaled skill in battle. And though the fight he has been drawn into seems near unwinnable, the song that drives him now desires the blood of his enemy above all else…

Night Terrors by J. A. Pitts Pdf

To save her girlfriend,a dragon slayer and blacksmith enters a nightmare realm and confronts a long-dead killer in this “endlessly entertaining” novel (Barb and J. C. Hendee, authors of the Noble Dead saga). Magic has a cost. Blacksmith and dragon slayer Sarah Beauhall is about to find out just how high. Her lover, Katie Cornett, trying to find her long-missing parents, has been dabbling with forces beyond her reckoning—and unleashed a cataclysmic shockwave of magic that ripples throughout the Pacific Northwest while her spirit is blasted from her body and flung into a world of nightmares and monsters. As Katie’s coma deepens and her chances of survival fade, Sarah’s spirit must make a journey of its own through a world of crystalline eaters and malevolent spirits who exist only to hunt and to consume. Night after night Sarah delves beyond the hidden paths, going into the wild lands and lost worlds far beyond the great sea of dreams. When the spirit of a long-dead murderer—known only as the Bowler Hat man—begins gathering an army in the forgotten lands, Sarah discovers that more than eaters and feeders pursue her… “An unforgettable heroine. . . . Pitts delivers adventures that are humorous, hair-raising, and simultaneously full of heart.” —A. M. Dellamonica, author of Child of a Hidden Sea “Dark urban fantasy with some clever touches.” —Kirkus Reviews “It’s about time we had a fantasy heroine like Sarah Beauhall!” —Kay Kenyon, author of the Dark Talents series

In this urban fantasy, a sword-wielding female blacksmith goes up against mythical and supernatural creatures in epic, action-filled battles. When a rash of suicides strikes Bellingham, Washington, Sarah Beauhall finds herself embroiled in a conspiracy that involves long-dead gods, love-scorned ancients, dragons, witch feuds, and the rediscovery of a mysterious abandoned world. Can Sarah put together the puzzle pieces before her world comes crashing down around her? Praise for the writing of J. A. Pitts: “Dark Urban Fantasy with some clever touches that should appeal to Urban Fantasy fans.” —Kirkus Reviews “A hip, urban take on dragons and dwarves, and add to that a sexy blacksmith in Doc Martens. It’s about time we had a fantasy heroine like Sarah Beauhall!” —Kay Kenyon, author of City Without End "A fast-moving, action-packed story . . . Sarah Beauhall is half girl, half warrior, and all attitude." —Louise Marley, author of The Singers of Nevya “Endlessly entertaining. A colliding mix of action and ancient myth—yet sexy with a dash of tongue-in-cheek humor. Not to be missed!” —Barb and J. C. Hendee, authors of the Noble Dead saga “Pitts brings Norse Mythology into the modern world in this amusing debut . . . There’s enough entertainment and romantic tension to keep readers interested in the planned sequels.” —Publishers Weekly

The Wolf's Call by Anthony Ryan Pdf

VAELIN AL SORNA RETURNS Anthony Ryan's debut novel Blood Song—the first book of the Raven's Shadow series—took the fantasy world by storm. Now, he continues that saga with The Wolf's Call, which begins a thrilling new story of razor-sharp action and epic adventure. Peace never lasts. Vaelin Al Sorna is a living legend, his name known across the Realm. It was his leadership that overthrew empires, his blade that won hard-fought battles - and his sacrifice that defeated an evil more terrifying than anything the world had ever seen. He won titles aplenty, only to cast aside his earned glory for a quiet life in the Realm's northern reaches. Yet whispers have come from across the sea - rumours of an army called the Steel Horde, led by a man who believes himself a god. Vaelin has no wish to fight another war, but when he learns that Sherin, the woman he lost long ago, has fallen into the Horde's grasp, he resolves to confront this powerful new threat. To this end, Vaelin travels to the realms of the Merchant Kings, a land ruled by honor and intrigue. There, as the drums of war thunder across kingdoms riven by conflict, Vaelin learns a terrible truth: that there are some battles that even he may not be strong enough to win.

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins Pdf

“This is one of those special novels—a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane.”—Thomas Pynchon The whooping crane rustlers are girls. Young girls. Cowgirls, as a matter of fact, all “bursting with dimples and hormones”—and the FBI has never seen anything quite like them. Yet their rebellion at the Rubber Rose Ranch is almost overshadowed by the arrival of the legendary Sissy Hankshaw, a white-trash goddess literally born to hitchhike, and the freest female of them all. Freedom, its prizes and its prices, is a major theme of Tom Robbins’s classic tale of eccentric adventure. As his robust characters attempt to turn the tables on fate, the reader is drawn along on a tragicomic joyride across the badlands of sexuality, wild rivers of language, and the frontiers of the mind.
