Magic was supposed to be humanity's answer to the zombie plague. At Outbreak Academy, Morgan O'Neill is starting to suspect it may be part of the problem.

They promised Morgan O'Neill everything: housing vouchers, ration cards, safe-zone status for her family. All she had to do was learn to control the infected.

Nobody mentioned the students who disappear.

Camp Sharon looks like the summer camp it used to be — cabins, a lake, a volleyball net going slack in the weeds. But the fence points inward as much as out, the instructors flinch at the wrong questions, and the scientist whose research may have started the plague has a sister still teaching here.

Morgan came to Outbreak Academy to save her family. But the deeper she digs into its secrets, the harder it becomes to tell whether she's being trained to fight the outbreak—or become part of it.

The naturals last line of defense against the supernatural.

A Red Witch yearned to fly in the skies and above the dark forest and its secrets. The terror of the Hunters who burned her Grandmother and fellow Witches keeps her feet firmly planted on the ground.

When a Hunter is eaten by a Siren and his skull returned to the Witch, then his brother, a Werewolf, shows up on her step, the Red Witch's life is turned upside down.

Something is disturbing the creatures of the forest. A Death Stalker calls for the Red Witch, forcing the three of them to work together. They must put aside their hatred, prejudice, and fear of each other to find out what is causing the unnatural death of the forest.

Maybe they will see just how wrong they were about one another and discover a dark secret that started the Witch Hunts.

Alya has always felt different. Mocked for how she looks and branded a freak for her strange abilities, she's learned to live as an outcast.

When a surge of unexplainable power rips through her classroom and a mysterious boy named Jayden appears in her life, the strange abilities she's spent years hiding become the key to a realm beyond her imagination.

He's protective, kind, and infuriatingly charming, but there's something about him that doesn't quite add up... something almost as strange as she is.

Driven by Jayden's push and the pull of her own unanswered questions, Alya sets out to find the mother she thought had abandoned her and discovers a whole hidden world with people like her, and a family who's been waiting for her.

But her arrival awakens an ancient darkness. A Rot that has waited a thousand years for the extraordinary power within her.

To protect the family she has just found and save all life under the moon, Alya must journey alongside a blunt, ice-gliding elf and her cousins to master her powers, before the darkness finds her.

Before the Sunset is Book One of the Children of the Tide series: a fantasy tale of love, loss, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace who you truly are... against all odds.

An enslaved girl forced to battle monsters for other's entertainment is ready to break free and destroy the family that captured her. Astrid's plot to escape is thwarted when a deadly illness settles in. The chance for redemption stolen, she must decide: Join the upcoming marriage selection or become dragon food.

Welcome to Blackridge.
A perfectly normal town—provided you don't ask too many questions.

After losing her father and spending years bouncing from place to place, fifteen-year-old Faye Gallow is sent to live with her eccentric Grammie in the small town where her parents grew up.

For the first time in years, Faye has a real home, a new school, and maybe even a chance at making friends.

Then a late-night dare takes her to Cemetery Hill.

Thirty years ago, a teenage girl disappeared there without a trace. Now Faye is seeing her ghost—and she seems determined to lead Faye toward the truth.

With the help of her new friends, Faye begins digging into Blackridge's past, uncovering missing records, old secrets, and one particularly disturbing connection:

The missing girl was her mother's best friend.

Her mother knows what happened that night.

Someone in Blackridge wants it to stay buried.

And whatever started thirty years ago isn't over.

It's starting again.

Sem Van Dijk is a Dutch, not-so-hardworking Momma's Boy who enjoys light snacks and Kanye West songs. When he is carjacked by a gang of vampires, his life goes from meh to YIKES in a matter of seconds. Cyr, Grand Vampire of the Illusionists, enlists Sem into his questing business, tasking the frightened human with finding the roots and herbs necessary to make the special medicines that he and the vampires need to survive. The options are simple: cooperate or die. And with the angsty Anya and the oh-so horny Lily-Rose watching his every move, Sem has no choice but to play along.

After the facial-scarred Lucia's father died, she became Marquess Lucian to inherit the Borderland of Winterstride along with his debt.

When her step-sisters are chosen for the Princess Tests, she becomes a guard for another Lady to make ends meet.

The Duke of Coppersteel looks at her a little too closely with his prejudice of Borderlanders after he scarred Lucian's face during a duel.

Can she keep her identity a secret while helping her sister's win the hearts of the Golden Princes?

Humans who were once defenseless under the rule of powerful beings are beginning to claim a place of their own.

Pierce, the adopted human son of a slain Kastelian king, has spent his life feeling inferior to his brothers with special abilities. Now, armed with the magical items he stole, he is determined to build a new world where humans hold the power. From the shadows, Pierce controls the young human rulers of the kingdoms he has created, and anyone who stands in his way becomes a threat to his vision.

Eighteen-year-old Willa never imagined she would become part of Pierce’s plans. She has no wealth, noble blood, or desire for a life inside the castle. But when young King Destin is ordered to choose a third bride, Willa’s attempt to hide among the men of her village fails.

Now she must marry a king whose previous brides were found poisoned the night before their weddings or face lifelong imprisonment. As Willa enters a world of royalty, secrets, and deadly power struggles, she discovers that her unwanted crown places her at the center of a conflict far greater than her own.

Crowned continues the story begun in Valerie Claussen's novel, Sustain, bringing back familiar faces while introducing a new generation of royalty. Although Crowned can be read as a standalone novel, readers of Sustain will discover how the events of the first book continue to shape this changing world.

In thirty days, she will purify fifty million souls. But today, she just wants to play.

A dark fairy tale about a merciful saint.

Malvika is a priestess of the Clements — the creed of mercy in a world at war for three thousand years. She sleeps in, dances badly with her broom, and is the kindest soul in the town of Orison.

The god she serves measures devotion in a single number: souls purified.

She loved the ash. And the ash loved her back.

What to expect:

• A villain-origin descent arc — you will root for her, and that's the horror

• LitRPG bones: system screens, titles, Graces, vows that bind power

• Grimdark war: plagues, alchemy fire, mercy with a knife behind it

• Dark fairy tale prose: lullabies, snow angels, ashen rain

• Completed and bingeable — 21 chapters, one countdown, no hiatus

Not for you if: you need heroes who stay heroes, or mercy that stays merciful.

Never seek vengeance. Always show mercy.

She obeyed. That was the problem.

In a moment of hesitation brought on by an old memory from her youth, Kimbra made a fateful decision that will forever change her direction from her former life as an assassin. Will she be able to survive the consequences of her choices?

When Ezo’s village is lost, he leaves heartbroken but determined to make a difference in the world. Ezo has a rare magical talent but lacks a formal education. His uncle taught him the elements of magic, but not how to deal with people who are suspicious of those with power.

Kammon is one of the War-Sworn, a magic-user who dedicates his gifts to protecting his country. When he comes home from the battle, he leaves the military and his rank behind. Unable to find peace with the people he had once served, Kammon searches Distria for a way to atone for his deeds.

Their paths interconnect in ways that Ezo doesn’t understand and Kammon doesn’t trust. Can they find a way to achieve their goals in a world that fears accepting help? Or will the darker forces in the world succeed in burying their dreams?

Astra has rules.

Sifira and Odran know them well. They know the monsters that stalk its wild places, the magic woven through its people, and the dangers waiting inside its dungeons. Alongside a mismatched group of companions, they’ve learned how to survive a world where adventure has teeth.

But the rules are changing.

Creatures are behaving in ways they shouldn’t. Dungeons are breaking patterns that have held for generations. Familiar dangers are becoming unpredictable, and encounters that should be routine are leaving behind questions no one knows how to answer.

For Sifira and Odran, facing the unknown together is nothing new. They’ve spent years fighting beside each other, sharing beds, trading insults, keeping secrets, and knowing one another well enough to recognize the things neither is willing to say aloud.

Now even that familiarity may not be enough.

As their party ventures deeper into a mystery that should be impossible, each discovery chips away at what they thought they understood about Astra—and suggests that whatever is happening is far bigger than a few unusual monsters.

Magic. Dungeons. Dangerous quests. Questionable decisions. Complicated relationships. Six people trying very hard not to die.

And a world that has suddenly stopped following its own rules.

The monsters were never supposed to change.

Humanity has already destroyed the Earth twice. Mother Earth won't give them a fourth chance.

The Earth is dying.

Again.

After centuries of pollution, destruction, and greed, humanity has finally pushed the planet beyond its breaking point. Their solution is simple: abandon Earth and find another world to call home.

Mother Earth has other plans.

Nikita knows exactly what comes next. Once human herself, she is now one of Mother Earth's Guardians—an immortal tasked with carrying out the Reaping. Billions will die. A chosen few known as Green Thumbs will survive. And when the last human has been sorted, Mother Earth will wipe away everything humanity created and give the planet a chance to heal.

Nikita has survived Reapings before. She knows the rules. She knows the cost.

But this time is different.

The Earth is taking longer to recover. Fewer humans are worth saving. And the time between humanity's mistakes is growing dangerously short.

This is their third strike.

There won't be a fourth.

Humanity doesn't need another world. It needs one last chance to save this one.

Awakening with no memories, Claire knows just one thing: she’s dead.
She soon learns all recently deceased spirits must attend Haunting University to prepare for a career as a ghost or guardian. Students who fail to be accepted to the university, or who get caught remembering their lives too soon, are sent to the Remedial College to be reformed, or worse, recycled.
Before she even makes it to the university, a devastating attack on the Administration building pulls Claire into a web of secrets woven by the Remedial College’s mysterious chancellor.
As she struggles to find her way in the afterlife, Claire is torn between her growing crush on her reaper and the strange bond she shares with his best friend, the unfortunate victim of the attack whose afterlife now depends on her.
To make matters worse, she’s plagued by nightmares that leave her waking with the sensation of blood on her hands. Nightmares that sometimes appear even when she’s awake.
Could they be memories?
If so, Claire may not just be dead.
She may have been a serial killer.

Wella Larksong has spent her whole life playing tavern tunes on a dead man's violin, never asking why the candles bend toward her when she plays. She gets her answer the night the Lumenguard rides into her village looking for a voice born of starblood — and finds it in her.

Swept up to Hallowmoon Spire to train as the next Nightingale, the lone singer whose Hymn keeps the world's oldest wound sealed, Wella learns her predecessor died climbing these same stairs nineteen years ago, and that the official story is a lie. Her fierce, grief-guarded Guard-Captain, Chaim, believes her before she has proof. The kindly Archchancellor who calls her "my dear" does not.

As the Veil begins to fail faster than anyone will admit, Wella has weeks to expose a conspiracy three hundred years in the making, or become its next casualty, unless she and Chaim are willing to break every rule the Choir has ever written about what a Nightingale's Hymn is allowed to be.

Some songs were never meant to be sung alone.

One moment…A single second…Can change someone’s life forever.
Every breath you take, you are given a chance to change who you are, what you want, and where you want to be: Remember that.
There is more to being a headmaster at The Hollow Academy than simply watching over the students and professors. When Alyce Hollow took this position from her late grandmother she knew exactly what she would have to do in order to keep her families legacy intact.
Going out into the realms and choosing the young adults with great potential that don't quite fit in, or check the traditional boxes for those who attend the academy.

In this first season of The Hollow Academy, we meet Echo a young woman with exceptional control over dark magic. While those with her abilities are typically seen as dangerous and are avoided, Alyce knows that there needs to be balance in the magical world, and that ALL magic comes at a price.

Follow Echo as she discovers not only who she is, but also who she can become.

Somehow trapped in the romantasy novel she’d finished, Gisela takes on the role of Lady Gisela LaGrange, a little girl who’s cannon fodder for the leading lady.

With her new identity and role, she must survive, figure out how to use her magic, and grow into a woman worthy of the villain. Because there’s no way she’s going to miss her chance of capturing him.

Briar Blackwood wasn't supposed to survive.

After the slaughter of her pack, she's sent to a war academy built to train the next generation of fighters against the Hollowed—the creatures that have kept their world locked in a brutal war for generations.

Briar has spent her life surviving on instinct, violence, and a healthy disregard for authority. The academy expects discipline. Briar has other ideas.

Then there's Riven Ashcroft.

Known as Machine One, Riven is one of the genetically engineered weapons created to fight the Hollowed: powerful, dangerous, and far too interested in the new girl who doesn't behave the way anyone expects her to.

But something about Briar doesn't add up.

As training turns deadly and buried secrets begin clawing their way to the surface, Briar discovers the war she's been taught to fight may have been built on lies—and the truth about what happened to her pack is tangled with the very experiments that created Riven.

Everyone at the academy is being trained to become a weapon.

Briar is beginning to wonder if she already is one.

For fifty years, Hortense Vauclain has kept the covenant nobody else remembers. She walks the boundary. She records every tremor beneath the Louisiana hollow. And when the last frost comes, she pays the land in blood to keep four ancient creatures bound to her family’s forty acres.

Now Hortense is eighty-three, the binding is failing, and the heir who should inherit it all has never heard the Vauclain name. Calling her grand-niece home would preserve the covenant—and condemn another woman to the life Hortense never chose.

So Hortense makes one final, impossible decision: she will leave the lights on, walk away from the tithe, and trust that what waits in the hollow remembers the difference between abandonment and freedom.

A Southern Gothic prequel to Boundwater, Last Frost is the story of the woman who broke the first lock.

Yuriena is the Princess, Captain, and Engineer of the Xailogarian empire.

After the General of the Xailogary army commits treason by killing the royal family, she runs to the magical Kingdom of Vidia.

Renamed and among the lowest caste, she finds Intelligence work in Vidia.

When Xailogary attacks Vidia, she must find where her loyalties lie: with the clockwork machines of Xailogary or the magic of Vidia.

In a cursed desert, three bloodline gifts are all that remain of a goddess who broke herself to save her people.

Efren has spent his life certain the sands will claim him early—and that his brutal father will make sure of it. But when an empire comes hunting the desert’s power and an ancient presence begins whispering his name, Efren is pulled toward a destiny far stranger than survival.

Sacred laws will be broken. Lost stones will surface. Old blood will reveal secrets buried for generations.

And somewhere beneath the shifting sands, the Mother is waking.

Kate has been unlucky in love for a while now. When she meets Alex, a cultured, kind, interesting man, she begins to fall...fast!

But there's something about Alex that doesn't sit right.

Soon, Kate finds herself in a position she can't escape. It's life or death now, and with Alex missing, Kate is trapped.

Will she be rescued in time or will her fate be chosen for her?

This is my twisted take on a classic.

Chaska has spent her entire life avoiding three things: responsibility, attention, and becoming anything like the royal family she was born into.

Unfortunately, destiny has other plans.

When the gates between the Realms prepare to open for the first time in generations, Atlantis must choose one of its royal children to serve as Ambassador of the Sea. Chaska expects the honor to go to one of her stronger, smarter, far more ambitious siblings.

Instead, the Elders choose her.

Suddenly, the princess who never believed she belonged is carrying the hopes of an entire Realm—and drawing the fury of a sister who has never forgiven Chaska for having anything she wants.

But just as Chaska begins to believe she might actually be worthy of the destiny chosen for her, a celebration turns to bloodshed.

A prince is dead.

An ancient alliance is shattered.

And one white-tipped arrow may be enough to send Atlantis to war.

Guinevere has died forty-seven times. She just doesn't remember any of them.

When seventeen-year-old Gwen dies in a car accident, she isn't sure what she expects next — but it isn't an endless hallway, an impossible intake record, and an ancient Reaper declaring, "She's mine."
Welcome to Aether Academy, where the descendants of immortal Houses return between mortal lives to master the powers they were born to inherit. Most students arrive knowing exactly where they belong. Gwen arrives with forty-seven completed lives, no memory of any of them, and a soul nobody can explain.
Claimed by the House of Reapers, Gwen has to learn the strange art of endings while navigating ancient rivalries, impossible classes, and friendships with students from Houses that aren't supposed to trust one another.
But the deeper Gwen digs into her own past, the stranger her record becomes.
Someone knew she was coming.
Someone made sure she arrived.
And forty-seven lives don't disappear without leaving something behind.

Piper Turner thought turning twenty-one would mean cake, cocktails, and maybe finally getting her life together. She was wrong.

First, her boyfriend betrays her with her best friend. Then strange things start happening around Mossy Creek—things even Piper can't blame on her possibly haunted house or her late great-grandmother's restless ghost.

Enter Torin Winterbourne: tall, dark, dangerously attractive, and the mysterious owner of a security company who always seems to know more than he's willing to say.

As if that isn't enough, Piper discovers a tiny winged man with a taste for mischief hiding in her flower garden. Arlen insists he's a pixie. He also seems determined to make himself at home, preferably anywhere Torin can't find him.

The deeper Piper gets pulled into a dark, dangerous world she always thought belonged in Granny's fairy stories, the harder it becomes to ignore one unsettling possibility:

Maybe all these strange things aren't happening around Piper by accident.

And whatever is waking up in Mossy Creek may have been waiting for her twenty-first birthday.

In 2023, Scientists at the International Institute for Fundamental Research near Geneva sought answers to the universe’s greatest mysteries. Instead, their experiment unleashed a catastrophe no one could have foreseen.

Cities were destroyed, civilizations collapsed, and mysterious forces opened pathways to realms beyond human understanding.

One thousand years later, humanity awakens to a world they no longer recognize.
The story follows Vanessa, Gabriel, Aqulius, Tony, Maurice, Keira, and Balanya.

Vanessa, a young woman whose strange abilities and mysterious origins lead her toward a world beneath the sea—and toward answers about who she truly is. Around her, unlikely allies from beneath the surface, alien beings, and creatures from across the Earth emerge from the shadows. As old secrets begin to surface, the survivors discover that the catastrophe that changed their world may have connected them to something far greater than they imagined.

But survival may not be enough.

These unlikely warriors must decide whether they will remain prisoners of the world that was devastated—or fight to forge a new destiny for the world that remains.

Desolate Dawn is a story of survival, discovery, identity, courage, and the unexpected bonds formed when shattered worlds collide.

Blaise has spent seven years trying not to die.

Born with a failing heart and parents determined to keep it beating, she's gotten used to watching life happen from the sidelines. But when one reckless drive puts her in the path of a van sinking into an icy river, Blaise doesn't think about what her heart can handle. She thinks about the people trapped inside.

Saving them nearly kills her.

It also gets the attention of the Soul Saver Society.

Hidden behind the ordinary world, Soul Savers are part of a secret system built around one impossible idea: sometimes, a person headed toward tragedy deserves another chance.

The chosen are given the opportunity to relive the days leading up to the moment that changes everything. One assignment. One chance to make different choices. One chance to alter a future that has already happened.

But second chances don't happen by accident.

Someone has to prepare the assignment. Someone has to make sure the right person receives it. Someone has to step into their life and convince them that the impossible is real.

That's where Blaise comes in.

For a girl who spent most of her life believing her broken heart made her useless, saving souls should finally give her the purpose she's been searching for.

There's just one problem.

Changing someone's future doesn't erase the future they left behind—and sometimes, a soul was headed toward tragedy for a reason.

To anyone else, Gavriel looks like a traditional lawyer. He gets his morning coffee, meets with clients, works in his office, then goes home and goes to bed without so much as a "thank you" for the true work he does.

Such is the life of an angel trying to fit in on the terrestrial plane, quietly fulfilling prayers for anyone with the courage to ask.

That is until a mysterious woman came into his favorite diner with a prayer he did not want to fulfill, suspicious knowledge of his true identity, and a chance to prove his worth to the Angelic Authority on Advancement and Awareness.

A chance that will open his eyes up to the truth of prayer, the truth of angelic work, and the very nature of The Plan.

In a conquered village, a healer tends an ancient stone—and feels the thing beneath it begin to wake.

Lara Silvers has spent most of her life avoiding dragons.

Her parents were dragon riders. They were heroes. And they died for it.

So while half of Evermere dreams of being chosen at the annual Selection, Lara wants nothing to do with dragons, riders, or the prestigious world they belong to. She's perfectly happy working in her family's jewelry shop and keeping both feet firmly on the ground.

Then she finds a young black dragon chained in the woods.

Freeing her is probably the most reckless thing Lara has ever done—and considering her habit of acting before thinking, that's saying something. But when the dragon chooses Lara and an unexpected bond forms between them, Lara's carefully planned future disappears overnight.

Now she's headed to Drakhan Academy, where everyone else actually wanted to be there.

Between learning to fly, surviving combat training, dealing with classmates who think she never earned her place, and trying not to embarrass herself in front of a certain infuriatingly attractive third-year rider, Lara has enough problems.

But whoever wanted Sable hasn't necessarily stopped looking for her.

Five moves in one year.
For Serafina Adams, "average" means constantly packing boxes and never making friends. But when a sudden tragedy strikes, her unstable human life shatters completely, thrusting her into a breathtaking, dangerous new world. She isn't ordinary. She never was.
Now, a mysterious relative delivers a brutal ultimatum: court the enigmatic Fae Prince, or be stripped of her magic and banished to the human realm alone. She has no choice but to play along. After all, the Fae Prince can't be that bad... can he?

Hallowmoon Academy has survived a broken Veil, a corrupted Archchancellor, and a Nightingale who refused to die for tradition.

But some of its oldest secrets are still buried beneath its halls.

Months after Wella Larksong's Ascension changed Hallowmoon forever, twenty-year-old Petra Vey is helping uncover the records Archchancellor Vermillion tried to hide. Her starblood has always been considered too weak to matter, but Petra possesses a stranger gift: she can hear traces of music lingering in places where the musicians are long gone.

Then a woman begins singing from behind a solid wall.

With guarded Lumenguard Soren Varimir at her side, Petra follows the voice into a secret passage beneath the Academy—and discovers a prison that appears on no map.

Someone is still inside.

Someone Hallowmoon declared dead decades ago.

As Petra and Soren uncover hidden chambers, forbidden histories, and evidence that the creatures beyond the Veil may not be what Hallowmoon has always claimed, one terrifying possibility emerges: the Nightingales who vanished during their Ascensions may never have died at all.

And something beyond the Veil has been trying to find its way home.

A romantic dark-academia fantasy filled with magical music, secret passages, forbidden history, slow-burn romance, strange creatures, and an academy built upon centuries of lies.

In a city humming with secret magic, "fitting in" is a blood sport. For the high-and-mighty Vampire Courts and the shimmering Fae elite, life is a game of power, politics, and performative perfection.

But for Nori, Maeve, Sayo, and Imani, life is just… a mess.

Nori’s a vampire blogger whose ambition is sharper than her fangs, trying to build an empire while dodging her mother’s increasingly frantic texts about finding a “nice, human boy.” Maeve’s a Fae student whose magic is as chaotic as her love life, convinced she’s a cosmic disappointment to everyone, including herself. Sayo is a shapeshifter whose flawless composure is a meticulously crafted fortress around a thousand secret vulnerabilities. And Imani is a half-djinn empath who feels everyone’s pain but has nowhere to put her own.

They are the Unaffiliated, the magically inconvenient, the ones who were never invited to the big, fancy galas anyway. Bound by a shared exhaustion with the world's bullshit and a deep-seated need for a decent cocktail, they are each other's only real allies. Forget Courtly allegiances and ancient bloodlines; their "collective" was forged in dive bars, messy apartments, and the quiet, desperate understanding that sometimes, the only thing more powerful than a magical contract is a friend who knows you’re a disaster and loves you anyway.

Nineteen years earlier, in Hallowmoon, another Nightingale, Elowen Ashsong, ascended the Spire.

When Elowen discovers that the Great Veil is dangerously weaker than the Choir admits, she must choose between refusing the Hymn of Ascension or climbing the Spire knowing she may never return.

Her eleven-year-old son, Chaim, begs her to stay.

Instead, Elowen gives him four notes and one promise:

"If I get lost, play this."

The Hymn saves the Veil.

Elowen disappears.

And nineteen years later, Chaim is still waiting for an answer.

History remembers the ones who burned. It forgot the ones who didn’t.

The Ones Who Didn't Burn
A reckoning told by Wren of the Ashroot Circle.
They tried to burn us.
They drowned our daughters, buried our names, salted the earth where we bled. And still, we lived.
I’ve fought monsters older than stone. Helped Viktor drive back the Drowned Gods with nothing but will, blood, and the bones of the women they thought they’d erased. We won the war. We bought peace.
But peace is brittle. Mortals look at us like smoke they can’t clear. People whisper behind closed doors. And some of my sisters? They never stopped smoldering.
Now a new fire’s catching.
It starts with a symbol carved deep, and an oath that was never truly broken. We’ve learned to live beside those who once hunted us, but we haven’t forgotten. And when the past claws its way out of the ashes, we’ll show them:
We are not the witches who burned.
We are the ones who didn’t.

Some family secrets should stay buried.

When Tabitha and her family hear her grandmother isn't doing well, they pack up the family to say their final goodbyes...but something is lurking.

Soon, Tabitha notices the changes in her own children and is forced to confront a past that shouldn't have been awakened in the first place. With death looming over them, the secrets of Tabitha's past, and the things she really wished she could hide, are brought to light.

Will she be ready to face them before it's too late?

Eryn Vespera, the fallen lady of Vespera County, silently works for the Cheshire March as its Marchioness while her philandering husband enjoys his mistress. Three years is all she needs to survive to get divorced from the man who used to be her first love.

You thought you had no magic.
But when your magic awakened, it hurt the one you loved the most.
Born of the impossible union of a High Elf and a Sea Elf, Aluriel is shunned through her childhood and then exiled for the destructive magic she cannot control.
Accompanied by a grumpy dwarven priest and a warrior she meets along the way, she must make her way to a distant land, while enduring the whispers that would lead her to madness.
And something else is stirring. Gods, emperors, mages, and other beings -- whose attention she would rather avoid -- seem to take an interest in her and meddle...

This is the first book of a planned saga. Book 2 is being written currently. Each book gets progressively darker and may betray your expectations.

Arabella has spent her life preparing to become a full witch. She’s studied the spells, practiced the rituals, and read everything she could get her hands on. Finally, on the evening of her eighteenth birthday, her first Witching Hour arrives and she’s ready to summon her familiar and take her place in her family’s magical legacy.

But something goes wrong.

As magic begins to fade, Arabella is determined to find the cause and fix it herself, proving she’s as good a witch as any of them. Unfortunately, her parents have decided that the best use of her time is babysitting Espen while his parents hunt down rare ingredients.

Espen doesn’t want to be a witch hunter. He’d rather spend his time in his studio, painting and sketching. Arabella doesn’t see it as the opportunity their parents claim it is. And neither of them has any interest in making the arrangement work.

But while Arabella is searching for answers, Espen is noticing everything else.

At Skarrholt, the birds choose their riders.

Cael Vantric has spent his whole life preparing to be chosen by an eagle. His family name, his future, and everything he has been taught to believe about himself depend on it.

Instead, a vulture descends.

The choice is public, humiliating, and impossible to undo. Worse, the bird is tied to the Carrion House, an ancient Order struck from the academy’s records generations ago and left to decay at the edge of Skarrholt.

Forced into a bond he never wanted, Cael is drawn into the forgotten work of the Carrion House, the buried history of his family, and a truth the academy has spent centuries teaching itself not to see.

As old loyalties fracture and a quiet connection grows between Cael and one of the last remaining Bearers, he must decide whether being chosen is a fate to endure, an inheritance to escape, or a life worth claiming for himself.

Because at Skarrholt, the birds choose.

And sometimes they remember what people would rather forget.

The young royals’ best friend is hiding something—even if he can’t lie.

Thirtyx Venmagalion was sent to the elite Wydewood Academy to betray the prince and princess. But when his people—the shifty, anarchist Veriths with a physical inability to lie—abandoned him, he befriended the monarchs instead. Now in their final year of school, the trio faces a threat to the unprecedented peace they’ve enjoyed under King Grimmary. Someone is after the throne. And despite Thirtyx’s best efforts to protect the prince and princess, his heritage makes him a prime suspect.

As essays and exams take a backseat to survival, Thirtyx quickly learns that keeping a low profile won’t get him to graduation, especially with his fiery new friend Seerla urging him to embrace his Verith identity. Can Thirtyx juggle death threats, apprenticeship applications, and guarding the royal family's most dangerous secret? Or might he be the one who brings the delicate peace crashing down?

Lacey and her childhood friends made a promise to stay inseparable forever. But when her father loses his job and she can no longer afford cheerleading, her friends decide she's not pretty enough to be part of their perfect little circle.

By the time senior year rolls around, Lacey is no longer the plain girl everyone remembers. She's suddenly the most beautiful girl in school. But the secret behind her beauty is far more dangerous than makeup or plastic surgery. Her stunning new stepmother has given Lacey eternal youth, supernatural beauty, and a thirst for human blood.

With the help of her dangerously charming familiar, Jordan, Lacey comes up with the perfect revenge: Forever Young Beauty Cream. It promises flawless beauty, but stop using it, and the real consequences begin.

Lacey has a choice. Forgive the friends who made her feel worthless, or show them what their obsession with beauty has cost them.

With eternity on her side, revenge has never tasted so sweet.

With a stalker lurking in the shadows, Kamryn’s return home is anything but safe. As she fights her feelings for her brother's best friend, she discovers that the real danger lies in the secrets he holds. Every second counts as she races against time to uncover the truth before the darkness closes in. Will she expose the truth that threatens her life, or will her past destroy everything she loves?

Roja was born to be a Hunter.

At least, that was what everyone believed until her power never awakened.

While her younger brother inherited the strength, instincts, and future meant for their bloodline, Roja learned to wear red—the color marking those who cannot protect themselves. She still believes in her people, their duty, and the warning every Hunter child knows:

Never trust a wolf.

Then she runs straight into one.

Takowa should be everything Roja has been taught to fear. Instead, he catches her when she falls, lets her go when she retreats, and slowly becomes the one person who never asks her to be anything other than herself.

But Takowa carries a secret written into his very blood.

He is Kowa—the last of the Original wolves, descendants of an ancient bloodline Hunters have sworn never to forgive.

Roja has spent her life believing the story of the Hunter woman who trusted an Original and paid for it. Now she must decide whether centuries of warning matter more than the man standing before her.

Takowa knows the truth behind that old story.

He also knows some truths come with a price.

Their ancestors once proved that a Hunter’s heart and a wolf’s may meet.

Roja and Takowa are about to discover what happens when blood remembers what the heart would rather forget.

Blood betrayed them both.

Every drop of power in the Hundred Mouths was distilled from a girl who died believing.

The Wasl takes one woman a year. They feed her, bathe her, sing to her, and teach her to want God more than she wants to live. Then they render her bones into attar — an oil that compels devotion in anyone who breathes it, and has held one family on the delta for four hundred years.

Shefali volunteered.

She is the finest candidate the order has selected in four centuries, and she has never once reached union. Eight years of counterfeiting rapture for examiners who wrote it down and believed her. She came to Meherghat because dying is the one moment she cannot possibly stay conscious through.

Ilyas has done this nine times. He is unhurried, exact, and tender with what he takes apart, and he has not permitted himself to be touched in ten years.

Then the house cuts her calendar by a season. Seven months to reach, for real, the thing she has been faking since she was fourteen.

The first time it happens, it happens in his hands.

She will find a way to live through this. It will cost her the only thing she has ever loved.
