Thorn Season is sharp, funny, sexy and dangerous, and packed full of irresistible twists! In the Kingom of Daradon, Wielders, those who can exert force through magic, are mistrusted and hunted. Alissa Paine, a noble heiress from a revered Hunter family, keeps a life threatening secret. She is a Wielder and her every move puts her in danger.
Summoned to the glittering royal court for the debutante season, Alissa finds herself trapped in a web of hidden intentions – and caught between two equally dangerous men. One is a brutal ruler with the handsome face of a fairytale prince, who would see her destroyed if the truth were known – and the other a beguiling foreign ambassador with secret agendas of his own.
It’s Rose Season at the palace, but Alissa knows that survival will depend on being the most vicious of the thorns…
The Notorious Virtues A glittering fantasy thriller, featuring a family obsessed with money, power, fame - and magic.

Honora 'Nora' Holtzfall is the daughter of the most powerful heiress in Gammamix; her family controls all the money - and all the magic - in the entire country. But when her mother is found murdered in an alley, the family throne and fortune are up for grabs, which means Nora will be pitted against her cousins in the deadly Veritaz trials to determine the rightful inheritor.

Incredible tests, impossible choices, and deadly odds await. But there can only be one winner.
Skipshock Set in a universe where time is a resource – coveted and exploited, the key to power and privilege – comes a dazzlingly inventive sci-fi fantasy romance by a bestselling Irish author.
Margo is on a train to a new school when she slips into another dimension, passing into the chill of an alien winter, from a 24-hour day to one that begins and ends in just six hours. She learns that New Davia is part of a world scarred by uprisings, travel bans and world sealings. Power is determined by time – who has it, who doesn’t, and who has the freedom to travel between time zones.

Can Margo find a way to get back home – or will she choose to stay in a world where her teenagehood is slipping away faster than ever before, but where she may have found the only person with whom she would choose to spend eternity?
