A charming, short novella in the Innkeeper Chronicles, from #1 New York Timesbestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Thank you for joining us at Gertrude Hunt, the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, during the Treaty Stay. As you know, we are honor-bound to accept all guests during this oldest of innkeeper holidays and we are expecting a dangerous guest. Or several. But have no fear. Your safety and comfort is our first priority. The inn and your hosts, Dina Demille and Sean Evans, will defend you at all costs. [But we hope we don’t have to.]Every winter, Innkeepers look forward to celebrating their own special holiday, which commemorates the ancient treaty that united the very first Inns and established the rules that protect them, their intergalactic guests, and the very unaware/oblivious people of [planet] Earth. By tradition, the Innkeepers welcomed three guests: a warrior, a sage, and a pilgrim, but during the holiday, Innkeepers must open their doors to anyone who seeks lodging. Anyone.All Dina hopes is that the guests and conduct themselves in a polite manner. But what’s a holiday without at least one disaster?

Maud Demille is a daughter of Innkeepers-a special group who provide 'lodging' to other-planetary visitors-so she knows that a simple life isn't in the cards. But even Maud could never have anticipated what Fate would throw at her.Once a wife to a powerful vampire knight, Maud and her young daughter, Helen, were exiled with him for his treachery to the desolate, savage planet of Karhari. Karhari killed her husband, and Maud-completely abandoned by his family-has spent over a year avenging his debts. Rescued by her sister Dina, she's sworn off all things vampire.Except... In helping Dina save the world, she met Arland, the Marshal of House Krahr, one of the most powerful vampire houses. One thing led to another and he asked for her hand in marriage. She declined. Arland is not used to hearing the word 'no;' and try as she might, Maud can't just walk away from Arland. It doesn't help that being human is a lot harder for Maud than being a vampire.To sort it all out, she accepts his invitation to visit his home planet. House Krahr is extremely influential and Maud knows that a woman-a human, with a very questionable past-who's turned down a proposal from its most beloved son won't get a warm reception. Maybe she's not sure about marrying Arland, but House Krahr isn't going to decide for her. Maud Demille has never run from a fight, and House Krahr will soon discover that there's a lot more to Maud than they're expecting.

I'm Sam, the werewolf book nerd owner of The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar. Clive, Fergus, and I are moving into our new home, the business is going well, and our folly is taking shape. The problem? Clive's maker Garyn is coming to San Francisco for a visit, and this reunion has been a thousand years in the making. Back then, Garyn was rather put out when Clive accepted the dark kiss and then took off to avenge his sister's murder. She was looking for a new family. He was looking for lethal skills. And so, Garyn has had plenty of time to align her forces. When her allies begin stepping out of the shadows, Clive's foundation will be shaken. Stheno and her sisters are adding to their rather impressive portfolio of businesses around the world by acquiring The Viper's Nest Roadhouse & Café. Medusa found the place when she was visiting San Francisco. A dive bar filled with hot tattooed bikers? Yes, please!¿Clive and I will need neutral territory for our meeting with Garyn, and a biker bar (& café, Stheno insisted) should fit the bill. I'd assumed my necromancy would give us an advantage. I hadn't anticipated, though, just how powerful Garyn and her allies were. When the fangs descend and the heads start rolling, it's going to take every friend we have and a nocturne full of vamps at our backs to even the playing field. Wish us luck. We're going to need it.

Ruffling the feathers of the humorless exec who's never liked Donovan will be satisfying too-assuming she doesn't drown him in the ocean first.Let the beach games begin.

The human and Kai kingdoms of Gaur and Bast-Haradis have negotiated a trade alliance that includes an arranged marriage between the Gauri king's niece and the Kai king's youngest son to seal the bargain. Ildiko has accepted her fate to become the wife of a hideous Kai husband and move to a foreign land where she knows little of the culture and even less of the people who aren't human and find humans repulsive. What she doesn't expect is to find her groom enchanting, kind, and fiercely devoted. But the strength of friendship may not be enough to grow or hold together a marriage when forces both worldly and otherworldly threaten to tear it and everything around them apart. In Radiance, Ildiko of Gaur submits to a marriage with the prince of the Kai, an Elder race possessing fading magic. Humans find the Kai hideous, and the sentiment is returned by the Kai. Ildiko has put that aside in the hopes her union with the prince will at least be one of civility. Equally resigned to his fate, Brishen Khaskem discovers his new bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined. Two people brought together by duty will forge bonds of friendship and affection even as others scheme to destroy their union. A tale of friendship and devotion. In Eidolon, Brishen and Ildiko have found happiness in the Kai stronghold known as Saggara. That happiness, however, is short-lived when they must confront a demonic horde unleashed on the Kai kingdom, abominations which threaten to devour the world itself. They also have to face the hard realities of kingship, where the privilege of wearing the crown and taking the throne means making the ultimate sacrifice in lives, love, and the soul of a nation. A tale of alliance and sacrifice.

I'm Sam Quinn, the newly married werewolf book nerd owner of the Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar. Clive and I are on our honeymoon. Paris is lovely, though the mummy in the Louvre inching toward me is a bit off-putting. Although Clive doesn't sense anything, I can't shake the feeling I'm being watched.Even after we cross the English Channel to begin our search for Aldith-the woman who's been plotting against Clive since the beginning-the prickling unease persists. Clive and I are separated, rather forcefully, and I'm left to find my way alone in a foreign country, evading not only Aldith's large web of hench-vamps, but vicious fae creatures disloyal to their queen. Gloriana says there's a poison in the human realm that's seeping into Faerie, and I may have found the source.I knew this was going to be a working vacation, but battling vampires on one front and the fae on another is a lot, especially in a country steeped in magic. As a side note, I need to get word to Benvair. I think I've found the dragon she's looking for.Gloriana is threatening to set her warriors against the human realm, but I may have a way to placate her. Aldith is a different story. There's no reasoning with rabid vengeance. She'll need to be put out of our misery permanently if Clive and I have any hope of a long, happy life together. Heck, I'd settle for a few quiet weeks.
