An instant New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Indie bestsellerFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes Masters of Death, a story about vampires, ghosts, and death itself. *Now newly revised and edited with additional content, this hardcover edition includes new interior illustrations from Little Chmura and special illustrated endpapers from artist Polarts.* There is a game that the immortals play. There is only one rule: Don't lose. Viola Marek is a struggling real estate agent, and a vampire. But her biggest problem currently is that the house she needs to sell is haunted. The ghost haunting the mansion has been murdered, and until he can solve the mystery of how he died, he refuses to move on. Fox D'Mora is a medium, and though he is also most-definitely a shameless fraud, he isn't entirely without his uses--seeing as he's actually the godson of Death. When Viola seeks out Fox to help her with the ghost infestation, he becomes inextricably involved in a quest that neither he nor Vi expects (or wants). But with the help of an unruly poltergeist, a demonic personal trainer, a sharp-voiced angel, a love-stricken reaper, and a few mindfulness-practicing creatures, Vi and Fox soon discover the difference between a mysterious lost love and an annoying dead body isn't nearly as distinct as they thought.

From the no. 1 international bestselling author of The Atlas Six. Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent - Chloe GongChicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change. Everything else, however, is slightly different. Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes. Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if youre not broken. Reader reviews for The Atlas Six:‘The most brilliant, immersive, magic-made-real book Ive ever read!‘Deftly woven plot and amazing ensemble cast‘Believe the hype! Absolutely fantastic!

Det Alexandrinske Selskab er en berygtet, ældgammel orden, og i den sidder verdens mest magtfulde magikere, der har svoret at beskytte antikkens hemmeligheder. Selskabets medlemmer er sikret uendelig rigdom, magt og prestige, og kun hvert tiende år kommer nye magikere i betragtning. Men kun fem af de seks kandidater går levende derfra. Ærkerivalerne Libby Rhodes og Nico de Varone kan kontrollere den fysiske verden, men ikke den ild, der brænder imellem dem; Reina Mori betvinger naturen og taler selve livets sprog; Parisa Kamali er tankelæser og mestrer forførelsens kunst; Tristan Caine er søn af en mafiaboss og besidder evnen til at læse universets hemmeligheder; og Callum Nova er en smuk, arrogant og velstående manipulator, som har magten til at forårsage jordens undergang. Kandidaterne rekrutteres af den mystiske Atlas Blakely, som meddeler, at kun fem vil få optag, mens én vil blive elimineret, og alle seks kandidater må hver især kæmpe for egen overlevelse. The Atlas Six – Initiativet er en adgangsbillet til en verden af magi, hvor hemmeligheder, forræderi, forførelse og uovertruffen magt lurer overalt.

From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, comes a literary, intimate study of time, space, and the nature of love. Alone with You in the Ether explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken. CHICAGO, SOMETIME--Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings. For Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision. To Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse. For Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability--until the two meet. Could six conversations with a stranger be the variable that shakes up the entire simulation?
