  • Lightning & Thunder December 29, 2026

    Percy Jackson meets Thunderbolts in this action-adventure romcom where the descendants of gods protect humanity, and Zeus’s snarky, vigilante heir is forced to team up with the globally beloved descendant of Thor. As a Zeus descendant, Pollux “Lux” Keraunos never intended to be a villain. But if the cyber-crime hat fits, he’ll wear it to destroy the tyrant Hero Council led by his brother. Then his brother vanishes (not Lux’s fault). Zeus’s line must continue, and the Hero Council turns to Lux as the heir—with the caveat that he trains under Erik Thorson, his brother’s Viking-wannabe BFF.

    Sara Raasch returns with the second book in the Heroes and Romance series, where the Reaper’s daughter and a descendant of Ra fall into a sunshine-meets-the-personification-of-death romance.

But when a routine Hero Council mission goes haywire, fate changes in an instant and suddenly Hattie, a descendant of Ra, the sunshine and joy that keeps Ophelia’s darkness at bay, lies dead at Ophelia’s feet.
