Swords and Spaceships for April 13

To save her love Arjun and her adopted home, Razia had to make a deal with her father–and now the favor she owes him has come due. She must help him secure the province of Zindh. But when her old enemy Karim engineers Arjun’s exile and forces Razia into a political marriage, she must call on all of her training as a princess, courtesan, and thief to save herself and her friends.

While Alice is recovering from her boss battle, dreams that are a vision of a dark past and darker future begin to haunt her crew, hinting that evil hasn’t been defeated in Wonderland. Soon word of a new army of Nightmares reaches Alice’s ears, but this time they’re close to home and a more immediate threat than the mortal world could have imagined.

Tina is an apparently average teenager who’s actually the keeper of an interplanetary rescue beacon. When that beacon activates, it’ll be her chance to save the galaxy–or will it?

Luckily she has friends, and a lot of determination.

The sacred magic of King Solomon survives in the hands of his descendants, who live deep in the woods of Hungary. The most gifted is Rabbi Isaac and his three daughters, each who has a different magic skill.

Danae is a tech servant in underwater Bloom City; but she’s not just herself, she’s also a grieving collective that cannot mend in a city that’s slowly imploding. With the help of her lover and an ex-mercenary, Danae makes a desperate escape and an equally dangerous journey across the Southwest of America, all the while hunted by an angry warlord and an even stranger foe called the Borrower.

Charleston clings grimly only, a flooded ruin where hundreds still live, ruled by cults and evil plutocrats. Into that dangerous landscape come a former serial killer and a former US Marshal, searching for answers.
