    SPIDER AND FROST DESCRIPTION:

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep delivers an epic team-up featuring beloved characters from her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and her Mythos Academy young adult series. This crossover novella, Spider and Frost, mixes magic and mythology in an action-packed adventure. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Rick Riordan.

    WHEN AN ASSASSIN . . .
    My name is Gin Blanco, and Iā€™m on vacation. Sort of. As the assassin the Spider, itā€™s hard for me to completely relax, but Iā€™m determined to enjoy a scenic train ride and a nice, quiet lunch before heading back home to Ashland.

    My plans change when Gwen Frost boards the train. The girl says sheā€™s heading back to Mythos Academy, the fancy private boarding school, but I canā€™t shake the feeling that Gwen is hiding somethingā€”and is in far more trouble than she realizes.

    . . . MEETS A CHAMPION
    My name is Gwen Frost. I might have saved the world from Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos, but Iā€™m still chasing down Reaper villains. Itā€™s all part of being the Champion of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.

    Iā€™ve been assigned to protect some mythological artifacts that are being transported via train to Mythos Academy, but some Reapers are hot on my trail, and theyā€™ll do anything to recover the artifactsā€”and kill me.

    Also on the train is Gin Blanco, who claims to be the owner of the Pork Pit barbecue restaurant. My psychometry magic keeps whispering that thereā€™s more to her than meets the eye, although I canā€™t tell if Gin is a friend, an enemy, or something else entirely.

    Note: Spider and Frostis a 28,000-word crossover novella between the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and the Mythos Academy young adult series. It is told from the points of view of Gin Blanco and Gwen Frost.

    Spider and Frost takes place after the events of Last Strand, book 19 in the Elemental Assassin series.

    UNRAVELED DESCRIPTION:

    What could go wrong when youā€™re trying to unravel a decades-old conspiracy?Ā 

    As the current queen of the Ashland underworld, you would think that I, Gin Blanco, would know all about some secret society controlling things from behind the scenes. I might be the Spider, the cityā€™s most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasnā€™t done me a lick of good in learning more about ā€œthe Circleā€. Despite my continued investigations, the trailā€™s gone as cold as the coming winter.

    So when Finnegan Lane, my foster brother, gets word of a surprising inheritance, we figure why not skip town for someplace less dangerous for a few days? That place: Bullet Pointe, a fancy hotel resort complex plus Old West theme park that Finn now owns lock, stock, and barrel. At first, all the struttinā€™ cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilderā€”and deadlierā€”than any of us expected.

    Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight ā€¦
