Northern Knights: A New Adult Urban Fantasy (Lord of Columbia, Book 1) by Todd Matthews
One Hero’s Fight for Freedom
Cain Riscattare never thought he’d lead the South Columbian colonies in their battle against an imperial police state known as the Southpoint Empire.
A college athlete gifted in sports and controlling the classical elements, Cain’s only concerned with becoming a pro athlete and living a life of luxury. But when a military draft threatens Cain’s freedom and athletic career, he’s cornered into either fighting for Southpoint or fighting against them.
When Southpoint soldiers and law enforcement raid South Columbia to round up any potential draft dodger, Cain and his college teammates spark a rebellion using their element-control abilities.
Now fugitives, Cain and his friends flee South Columbia to the unoccupied region of North Columbia, where they undertake their senior year at Summit University.
Upon discovering several rival students are working undercover as Southpoint spies in North Columbia, it’s a matter of time before Southpoint advances northward.
As open warfare erupts in South Columbia, Cain and his friends balance athletics while working with top North Columbian leaders to defend the land from Southpoint invasion.
Will they succeed in keeping Southpoint from overrunning the North?
Northern Knights is the first book in the new adult, urban fantasy series Lord of Columbia. If you like modern-fantasy, open warfare, liberty versus tyranny, and a diverse cast of compelling characters, you’ll love Cain’s incredible journey from athlete to rebel as he battles for his peoples’ fate…

TwitterAbout the author:
Todd Matthews is a–okay, talking in the third-person is weird, so hi, I'm Todd! I'm a professional Thought Criminal who hides behind a screen and pens random thoughts regarding liberty. When I jumbled my thoughts together, I created Northern Knights, Episode I in the Lord of Columbia Series. Well, that's about all there really is to know, so let's embrace liberty!
What inspired you to write your book?
On July 4th, 2015 I watched Sons of Liberty and thought to myself how I could make a story out of it in modern times yet in a fantasy atmosphere. Hence, Northern Knights was born. I drew influences from my favorite books, TV shows, and movies, crisscrossed them and came up with a story about an arrogant college athlete gifted in element control who reignites a colonial uprising.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Cain Riscattare would’ve laughed in a man’s face had they told him his life was about to derail. He hoisted himself off his bed, twirled a stray curl in his hair, and heaved his luggage to the living room, where Aunt Ira prepared dinner in the kitchen.
“Got everything?” she said.
Cain collapsed on the couch. “Phone, laptop, element control books, six-pack of abs, yeah I think I’ve got everything. Atlantis Shores, here I come!”
Aunt Ira shook her head. “You and your looks. Jed and Asha won’t like the fact you’re leaving for the week. Asha won’t know what to do. She’s grown on you ever since she broke up with that horrible boy.”
“Lira’s mother invited them over, they should’ve come.”
Aunt Ira strode into the living room. “She has such a nice family, given their situation, like many living in South Columbian cities.”
Cain opened his phone and scrolled to the weather in Atlantis Shores before tossing it aside. Going to be a freaking beauty of a week! “Yeah, she’s told me a lot.”
“Well, at least you make her feel special.”
“She’s an outstanding shotball player, and we have one huge thing in common. No father.”
Aunt Ira tore her eyes from Cain and returned to the kitchen. “Yeah, right. To this day, it makes me sick when I think about the evening Generals Jefferson and Roberts brought you here. Our family was no more. Killed in the Winters Bombings. My parents, your parents, your sister, just everyone. It pains me to this day.”

The hottest New Adult Romance of the summer!
Review: “…holy heck, this is a hot book. I love stories that are slow burners…that make you wait for the “good stuff” while building up the characters. Amanda did a great job with the intimate cyber scene. Could’ve been really confusing with the back and forth but it felt incredibly real.” – Adele H, Goodreads
“It’s been months since the big break-up, but what do you do when the life you knew goes straight to hell? How do you pick yourself up from a cheating asshole like Brad?
Virginia Peterson is living the dream. She’s young, independent, has a loving boyfriend, her own home, a promising career, and Kari, a BFF that makes other girls jealous. What could be better?
Life is good until she catches Brad with his pants down… and in her home! Needless to say, his ass is out and she’s back to her life as a curvy single woman. She needs to get out more, as brassy Kari keeps reminding her, but she’s not about to go through any more heartbreak. Another man is not on the agenda. Not even for a casual encounter.
…until Tristan. Tall, tattooed, and an English accent to die for. He’s everything Ginny always dreamed of… bold, captivating and passionate…and he’s way out of her league. Tristan Armstrong is the only son of a real estate mogul. Dad wants him in the office wheeling and dealing, but the posh bad boy is stubborn, rugged, and likes to get down and dirty working with his construction crews around the world.
After the lies and deception of his debutante fiancé, he’s in no mood for love… then Ginny sets his heart on fire. What happens when their two worlds collide? Can a white-collar rockabilly chick with sensuous hips and a penchant for food be accepted into the lives of British aristocrats? Or will the debutante win when he’s five thousand miles away from her.

His Wicked Games by Ember Casey
Lily Frazer would do anything to save the Frazer Center for the Arts–even take on the infamous billionaire Calder Cunningham. When Lily breaks onto the Cunningham estate, she only wants to find and reason with Calder. (All right, all right, she wants to punch him in the face, too, but that's Plan B.) As it turns out, the arrogant billionaire is willing to give her the money he promised, but there's a catch: she must win it from him.
And the games he has in mind aren't exactly… innocent.
Lily isn't about to give up the money without a fight (or let some haughty bastard seduce her), but she quickly discovers that there might be more to the brooding Calder than she initially perceived. As their games of cat and mouse become increasingly intense, she suddenly finds herself confused by her own emotions. Can she deny her attraction long enough to win the money she needs?
A contemporary, steamy take on Beauty and the Beast, His Wicked Games is a tale of devilish deeds, wild passions, and wicked romance.
