Kass O'Shire

Lost in strange waters after a narrow escape from captivity, Elspeth the selkie is determined to find and free her brother. When she runs into an orca-shifter who mistakes her for lunch, one drop of his blood on her pelt binds her to him...forever.

Unfortunately, when the Lady created the world of Timonde as her own private dollhouse, she condemned millions of people to the cruel rule of an evil empire and its dark god of death, Orcus.

All Cora wants for Yule is a few more shells for her collection, a cozy book by the fire, and to be spoiled by a minotaur—er, to avoid the Yuletide Ball.

Sirin is determined to find the source of magic, and nothing is going to stop her. Not expulsion from her guild, not their warnings about her certain death, and definitely not the damned polar bear stalking her through the taiga.

Catrin's half-orc children are going through a difficult... growing phase. Since their orcish father left while she was pregnant, she doesn't know how to help. When Torsten, the first orc to break her heart, swaggers back into her life, he's got all the answers she needs.
