Shadowrun: Elfin Black. YA Shadowrun novella.
VEXING MEGACORPS FOR FUN AND PROFIT…
Landon and Liana Hoffman are on summer vacation, and look forward to producing their Matrix repair show, the Right2RepairRigger, and hanging out at the local makerspace. But when they get a chance at a lucrative salvage run, they can’t say no—especially when they owe the fixer who’s hiring them.
Beyond settling their account, the job promises untold riches in salvageable, possibly beyond state-of-the-art gear at a secret, abandoned military facility. Aware of the dangers involved, the run is still too good to pass up. However, the place may not be as abandoned as it seems—and the clock is ticking.
Also, there are powerful enemies who don’t like what the Right2RepairRigger is doing, and are willing to destroy whoever they can to put a stop to it—including arresting anyone possibly connected with the twins’ program. Can Landon and Liana finish the run and save their family at the same time?

Truumeel's Light. A FiveFold Universe Sci-Fi Adventure (Tears of Perseus Book 1)
WELCOME TO THE NEW FRONTIER... A colony ship was always a one-way ticket. When sisters Cathalina and Ashling convinced their families to invest in the rights to a mineral-rich world, they knew it would be the end of them. Hard work, low air quality, and the bottomless greed of the corporation backing them would indenture them for generations, and that was enough to make anyone stir crazy. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?
When a strange signal from an uncharted star system catches their eye, the sisters launch their survey vessel one last time. It’s an exciting final adventure, and the risk is real. Finding a world far from the trade routes means danger from pirates, claim jumpers, and the expedition’s corporate sponsors, but it could also mean that instead of setting up an outpost, they could be founding a dynasty.

Shadowrun: Elfin Black. Shadowrun novel.
TIES THAT BIND... Mage Jonathan Leeds has built himself a comfortable life owning and operating an exclusive night club in London, far from the iron grasp of his family. But when his father, Gordon, abruptly summons him to the Seattle Metroplex, John finds himself a stranger in a strange land, thrown into the wilds of the 'Plex to manage a situation apparently only he can handle. Although he’d prefer to ignore his father’s wishes, John knows that no one--family or foe--says no to Gordon Leeds. At least, not if they want to live to tell about it.
But family obligations aren't the only reason John is in Seattle. His patron back in England, Lord Callen Nassau, has asked him to look for a missing woman. John is only too happy to oblige, as the elegant elf noble is everything his father is not. But when Gordon’s and Callen's tasks intertwine in unexpected ways, John is forced to question everything he knows about both men, and soon discovers not all that glitters is gold.
When the desires of these rich and powerful beings collide in the Sixth World, John finds himself a pawn in their vicious game. If he's to escape the Emerald City in one piece, John knows he must take control of the situation--any way he can—or suffer the lethal consequences.

Teenagers from every walk of life use whatever they can to defend our world. Sometimes they win. Sometimes they loves. Sometimes…they give into the temptations of eldritch power.
