Phoenix racing is profitable but deadly.
No-one knows this better than Kel Varra and her crew, the Crimson Howlers. They live on the edge of survival.
When a mysterious tech billionaire offers them a place at his training facility, it gives them hope but also forces Kel to team up with Coup, her arrogant, infuriating rival.
Embroiled in political scheming, volatile phoenix magic and a smouldering romance, Kel and Coup discover a conspiracy that threatens them all.
For in this world of extreme stakes, there are two options only: win or burn.
Mikayla Bridge is a fantasy author living in Melbourne who grew up on a farm. Raised on horror movies and musical theatre, her writing is often a love letter to both.
Of Flame And Fury by Mikayla Bridge is published by Pan Australia, RRP $26.99.
We Saw What You Started by Carla Salmon
Otto was a star surfer back in California, but now he just wants a fresh start.
When fires break out in Red Sands, the locals are suspicious. It’s no coincidence that Otto is at the scene every time. Is it?
Milly isn’t so sure. Small town talk isn’t always right — especially when it comes to her ‘perfect’ brother, who doesn’t deserve to become captain of the surf lifesaving club.
What if the new boy is innocent?
Can Otto and Milly trust each other to find the truth behind the fires?
And what happens when you do the wrong things for the right reasons?
This is Australian author Carla Salmon’s debut novel and is inspired by her country coastal childhood, where sports ruled and beach campsites were paradise. She lives in Brisbane.
We Saw What You Started by Carla Salmon published by Pan Australia, RRP $19.99.
