From book one:

No-one comes in peace. Every being in the galaxy wants something, and is willing to take it by force.

The Hedalt were no different. They came from the distant reaches of the galaxy to wage war. Their fleet wanted to take Earth for its prize, but we were ready. We were stronger.

For years, we fought them, ship-to-ship, until we scattered their forces and drove them back. Pursuing the Hedalt fleet to their home world, we delivered the decisive blow. We nuked their planet and wiped them out for good.

Or so we thought.

For decades, Earth Fleet sent out Deep Space Recon missions to scour the galaxy and clean up the remnants of the Hedalt Empire. Eventually, we found only ghosts – empty outposts and long-dead colonies.

But, close to the edge of known space, I – Captain Taylor Ray – and my crew are about to make a discovery that will change everything.

The war isn’t over. The war has yet to begin.

The series includes:

– The Contingency

– The Way Station Gambit

– Rise of Nimrod Fleet

– Earth’s Last War

In this prequel to the NYT bestselling Wicked Lovely series, the Faery Courts collide a century before the mortals in Wicked Lovely are born.

Thelma Foy, a jeweler with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn’t expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. Tam can see through the glamours faeries wear to hide themselves from mortals, but if her secret were revealed, the fey would steal her eyes, her life, or her freedom. So, Tam doesn’t respond when they trail thorn-crusted fingertips through her hair at the French Market or when the Dark King sings along with her in the bayou.

But when the Dark King, Irial, rescues her, Tam must confront everything she thought she knew about faeries, men, and love.

Too soon, New Orleans is filling with faeries who are looking for her, and Irial is the only one who can keep her safe.

Unbeknownst to Tam, she is the prize in a centuries-old fight between Summer Court and Winter Court. To protect her, Irial must risk a war he can’t win–or surrender the first mortal woman he’s loved.

“Set against the lush backdrop of 1890s New Orleans, Marr’s spellbinding prequel to the Wicked Lovely urban fantasy series invites readers back into the world of the fae. . . . The resulting conflict delivers all the magic, intrigue, and romance that Marr’s fans expect. Readers will be pleased.” –Publisher’s Weekly

A creaky old robot shows up in a backward, medieval kingdom, promptly triggering all-out war.

It’s elves versus humans, humans versus dwarves, and pretty much everyone versus the goblins.

At least there are no dragons to worry about, because they’ve been boned, filleted and barbecued to the brink of extinction. Hey, it’s their own fault for being delicious.

Throw in a wizard with pockets full of mysterious herbs, a volatile halfling with a hair-trigger temper and a barbarian who’d rather bed the nearest princess than wield his other mighty sword, and you have the makings of a crazed, epic trilogy.

Can the robot survive this feudal insanity, or will he end up shared between the warring factions… literally?

Before their mother got sick, twins Iyo and Issa couldn’t wait for the end of their apprenticeship. Iyo dreamed of joining the secretive fighters guild and killing the invaders whose harsh rule reduces their lives to mere survival. Issa craved the peace of diving for the waterstones that heal and purify in the hands of the priests. Alone in the sea, no one can sneer at her invader heritage.

When they steal a divine waterstone in a desperate gamble to cure their mother, they shut themselves out of any future they could have imagined. Instead they enter a world of gods, visions and betrayal. Now their lives, everyone they love and the very existence of their city may be at risk of destruction.

Offshore, a group of thieves aboard a luxury cruise ship must escape to the island, unleashing unforeseen horrors; for what was once thought to be nothing more than fiction is very, very real as a well-intentioned medical experiment casts a novel virus upon the world, rapidly spreading among the island’s native tribe. A battle humankind has never known has begun, and a cure must be found before all succumb to the infected.

Taylor Lane survived the beast that killed her mother; now she has powers that threaten to expose her to a host of evil beings she used to believe were imaginary.

Forced to fight for her own survival, she’s thrown into the middle of an almighty war, where nothing is what it seems.

Amidst the chaos Lucian, her shadowy protector enters her life and heart. But there’s something dark inside of him: he’s a vampire, the original Dark One.

With her mother murdered and a hideous beast out for her blood, Taylor has no choice but to put her faith in Lucian and go to war as she tries to unravel the mystery of who she truly is.

Can they learn to trust one another and save the world around them? Will Taylor find out who or what she truly is?
