Suddenly thrown into a world representing bloodlines I know nothing about, forcing a past I refuse to remember into the present, my world is turned upside down. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t want to go to college; it doesn’t matter that I don’t want to be here. I’ll follow the rules or risk my life. The organization that runs the criminal underworld is no joke.

Everyone at Heir Academy has a secret, friends and enemies alike, and it's up to me to navigate them all and get us out alive. Raiden, Kryll, Brody, Cassian… I'm not sure I would have survived this long without them, and it's about time I stop ignoring my heart. The problem is we walked right into their trap. But I'm not easy prey. I'm the rightful heir of Floodborn Kingdom, and I'll stop at nothing to prove I am worthy.

I may have survived the battle, slipping from their grasp by cunning and sheer will, but the war still rages, and the next wave of enemies is worse than I ever imagined. Tangles of lies unravel around us as the past and present collide, bringing secrets into the light and making the future harder to see. With every turn down this winding path, it is clear pain is inevitable, but I'm not alone this time. Not anymore. I have a family, people I can't live without, and a place to finally call home.

At ten years old, one drop changed my whole world, and not just because I lost my freedom, my parents, and my memories all in one night. My life is now bound to another: my blood kin, whose cursed fate is dependent upon my own. After being held captive for over a decade to protect someone I've never met, I'm now thrown into a new world. Trinity Falls Academy is an opportunity to secure my future. Like life's cruel guillotine, the curse shatters at twenty-one years old, and only one kin can make it to twenty-two.

They say the gods don’t give you more than you can handle, which is probably why I’m sinking in drama. As a god myself, I guess I’m not included in that little speech. But it’s about time they address me as who I am.

My life as I know it will never be the same. I must overcome more obstacles than I care to imagine and learn to deal with the blood staining my soul. Trusting in those who offer me the world will prove difficult as I try to keep everyone safe. Luna is my rock and pillar of strength, even if she wants to force me to see the bigger picture.

Magic I never thought I'd possess, and yet now that I do. I'm starting to wonder if it's more potent than I ever could've imagined. I need to learn my limits and fast because there's darkness on the horizon. My days at Silvercrest Academy have been filled with secrets, conflict, and death. It's a world consumed with uncertainty, but there's only one thing I can believe in… the Bishops.

I once had everything—until it all disappeared. Years later, I’m on the cusp of finally filling in the missing pieces, only for them to barge into my life at the worst possible moment. It only takes one glimpse to realize I’m not the only one who’s changed. Alexi, Talon, and Malik. Gone are the boys I once knew. Gone are my saviors from across the road. In their place are the furies that rule and set order, now nothing more than my captors.

Rise. Shine. Sleep. Repeat. To the world. Break. Darken. Cry. Lost. Behind closed doors. Nothing is as it seems in the Asheville home or this hellhole town. Then he shows up. Pushing my buttons and demanding I take more from life, be more, be…me. But I have no idea who that is. How do I fight for my freedom when I’m their bargaining tool? What he doesn’t realize is how screwed up Knight’s Creek really is. For all I care, the whole town can burn to ash.

When your soul is torn apart, and your heart feels empty, how do you breathe? When the flames of hell burn bright, and all hope seems lost, how do you survive? When war is coming for those you love, and darkness prepares to strike, how do you face the wrath? When truths are awoken, and the supernatural world is brought to its knees, how do you rise back up? The time for questions has passed. It is time to act. Time to fight. Time to conquer evil once and for all. May courage drive you. May you know no fear. May we all rest in peace wherever our pieces may fall.

They say bad things come in threes, and the De Luca brothers have trouble written all over them. Matteo, Vito, Enzo. Their ruthless reputation has followed them all the way from Italy to New York City, and they're here to collect what they were promised. I'm not supposed to care that they're enticing, my favorite kind of temptation. I'm here on a mission to wipe the slate of my sordid past clean. But one taste is all it takes to have me questioning my plan. I'm sinking faster than I can piece together a way out.
