Hope Close: a leafy, tranquil backwater in the heart of the English countryside. But when Andy Meyer moves in, it soon becomes clear that picture-perfect homes can hide less-than-perfect lives. Fresh from rehab and with no interest in meeting his neighbours, Andy erects forbidding gates to keep the ghosts of his past - and any prying eyes - at bay. Next door, in the grandest house, Layla is unhappily married to a much older man and desperately misses her young son, who has been banished to boarding school.

Late in the twenty-first century, drought and wildfires prompt an exodus from southern Europe. When twelve-year-old Caleb is separated from his mother during their trek north, he soon falls prey to traffickers. Enslaved in an enclave outside Manchester, the resourceful and determined Caleb never loses hope of bettering himself. After Caleb is befriended by a fellow victim of trafficking, another road opens. Hiding in the woodlands by day, guided by the stars at night, he begins a new journey - to escape to a better life, to meet someone he can trust, and to find his family.

Word to the wise, never go on a road trip with the men who you've fallen hard for. Especially when they'll lose everything if they don't win the season. Doubly, when you're the coach's daughter. Why did I? Because I'm their live-in PR. I'm also madly in love with these men who have bodies like gods. And they're obsessed with me. The tall, dark, and grumpy captain. The star forward with spellbinding gray eyes and golden retriever energy. And his tattooed, protective PA twin.

Alastair Stone knew it was only a matter of time. The demon called The Unspeakable is safely locked away, but nearly a dozen more of its kind remain behind, gathering strength like malevolent, ticking time bombs.

In the aftermath of runaway heir Rasp Stoneclaw's foiled attempts to escape the curse threatening to destroy his people, he's stuck under a mountain with Oralia Dawnsight, Protector of the Realm. So in other words, everything's going great. Oralia's plan to install the cursed Stoneclaw as the new leader of the Iron Ridge is, needless to say, in tatters. But Rasp has discovered something he didn't expect: while he may have been the one to awaken the curse in the first place, he also just might have what it takes to defeat it—provided the appeal of running away doesn't win out.

With the Realm fractured, the outlaws of the Iron Ridge are threatened from all sides. Aided by his mentor, Whisper, runaway heir—and newly ordained witch—Rasp Stoneclaw finally has a chance to see more of the world, beyond the ridge. He'd like to survive and keep his wits about him, but the darkness inside him has other ideas . . . including, unfortunately, cannibalism. Meanwhile, Ex-Protector of the Realm Oralia Dawnsight is struggling to come to terms with her new role as a traitor to the broken empire. Once, she dreamed of a glorious retirement.
