Not all princes are charming. Hunted by the Magikas, Amel seeks refuge on a secluded island. But when she meets the prince of Baojang there, she realizes she can't stay in hiding. Someone needs to warn the Dominion of the plotted treachery, and quickly, before her friend Savette is married off to one of them.

With the sky city of Vanika in chaos and the consequences of Amel’s decisions shaping the course of her training, Amel is given a special assignment. But the Dusk Covenant has other - more nefarious - plans for her and the Dominion. Can Amel keep those plans from destroying what she loves?

Who is the true Chosen One? Free from the grip of the Dusk Covenant, Amel and her friends are headed to swear their loyalty to Haz, Queen of Dragons. But they aren’t the only ones who plan to negotiate with the Dragon Queen. When old enemies resurface, how will Amel convince her friends to stand for the truth in a world of lies?

Heroes come from unexpected places. Eighteen-year-old Tor is scarred by war and starvation. When he is given a chance to be on of the Dominion’s famed Dragon Riders, he leaps at the chance. But Tor’s dragon and mission are out of the ordinary and to serve them both, he’ll have to learn to be something he’s never aspired to be...a hero.

I'm hiding in my father's closet, desperately picking the lock on a box containing an ancient evil...when he emerges. He doesn't seem all that evil, but neither did my friends before they turned into monsters. I'd like to think that I don't need him. But I love books and he loves battles. I'm used to drinking tea and he's used to drinking the blood of his enemies....or whatever his kind drink. In a world stricken by plague, all my friends have become terrifying monsters, and I have no other option but to trust him to keep me safe.

Deep in enemy territory, betrayed by those who should be friends, and under attack by enemies, Sersha, her phoenix Kazmerev, and the enigmatic Judicus must seize all their courage to fight for the future of phoenixes everywhere and maybe even mankind.

Sersha is voiceless and overlooked in society, but that hasn't stopped her and her beloved phoenix, Kazmerev, from taking on any and every challenge in their quest to keep the ai'sletta safe, bring down the Hand of the Rats and the Stryxex, and keep phoenixes everywhere safe.

With her beloved dying in her arms, a last bargain with a tricky Wittenbrand her only hope of saving him, and the very world itself crumbling to bits around them, Izolda must face Death himself in her bid to turn the tables on her enemies in this deadly game of crowns and finally win a place for her husband...and herself.

With their enemies arrayed before them more dangerous and powerful than ever, Sersha and Kazmerev find themselves forced to ally with those who might not have their same goals at heart - and might actually want their destruction. But, in a world of kings and subterfuge, secret war and coup attempts, they are determined to do what they set out to do - save the ai'sletta and defend phoenixes everywhere.

Frustrated at every turn, Sersha and Judicus are determined not to give up - especially not now that they hold a vital clue to the intentions of their enemies. But when someone new appears in their path - someone who claims to have a reason to stay near Sersha - neither of them are sure if they should trust him. Worse, Kazmerev doesn't agree. Can Sersha and Kazmerev survive their first fight and decide together on who to trust?

The flame of courage is burning. It's Sersha and Kazmerev against the world in this wild third episode of Phoenix Heart. With her cousin stolen and her friend Judicus once again in trouble, everyone needs Sersha to save the day. But not all is as it seems - there are villains lurking in every hill and hollow - and Sersha must use all her skills to fight against impossible odds. Her bond with Kazmerev is growing, and together, they are seeing the world in new ways, but will it be enough?

She can conquer the Fae - but at what cost? Allie had an army, allies, and a plan, but with all of those things slipping through here fingers she is being driven further and further toward a path she hadn't planned to take and a choice she didn't want to make. How selfless is Allie, really? Would she give her own life to save her people...and her new husband? Or will she have to carve out another way forward? And what might that way cost her?

Allie thought she was saving her own mortality and stopping the Fae incursion when she killed the Balance - one of four Fae roles - and took a particularly essential Fae as her captive. But Allie didn't think through the consequences. Now, she has one of the four roles of the Faewald. A role she must fulfill by force of magic. Worse, the Blood Moon has risen in the Faewald and that means it is the time of the Wild Hunt. Can Allie find a way to save her people while fleeing the Wild Hunt and fighting against a magic that seeks to control her?

The hunt is on. Allie Hunter has lost 10 years in the blink of an eye. But though the town she left has changed, some things - the worst things - remain exactly the same. As Allie battles conflicting loyalties, the censure of the town, and her own broken family, she begins to realize that she might be the only one standing in the way of a war between fae and mortals. Can she possibly craft a trap good enough to stop the coming fae army?

Think you could craft the perfect bargain? Allie Hunter thought all she had to do was make an exchange to buy back her father's life. She was wrong. Mortals are so often wrong about the Faewald. Usually, that kills them, or mires them in bargains that will suck their life out sip by sip. With Allie caught in a cage and the Fae she had once tormented her new captor, can she strike the right bargain to save everything she loves?

Legends used to walk the Dragonblood Plains - great heroes now dead who left bloody scars across the face of the world. They are waking. For Tamerlan, the only thing that matters is his desperate quest to save his sister from being sacrificed to the dragon at the height of the Summernight festival. For Marielle, all that matters is serving justice to protect her city. But when Tamerlan stumbles upon an ancient magic that calls the Legends forth, and Marielle scents what he’s done and starts her pursuit, they begin a chain of events that can’t be stopped.

The end has come. But will it bring victory or defeat? And what will it cost Amel, Raolcan, and their friends? With the fate of the Dominion - and, likely, the world - on Amel and Raolcan's shoulders, they must show, once again, that honor, truth, and self-sacrifice are more than ideas. They're something to give your life for.

With Amel a captive in the hands of Starie Atrelan - the false Chosen One - and Amel's beloved dragon Raolcan missing, all seems to be lost. But is it? Amel still has the prophecies and her wits and she's not afraid to use them to score the victory the Dominion desperately needs.

War has come. With the Dusk Covenant's armies rushing to join the battle around Dominion City, Amel has one chance to trap them and hold them in place while her slower allies catch up. But with Ifrits and Magikas fighting against her, a hidden plot meant to entrap her, and a surprise show-down between two enemies, will she be able to stop them, or are the odds stacked too strongly against her?

Amel Leafbrought is still recovering from a grievous wound, but when a good friend offers her a chance at a risky opportunity to get Savette the support she needs, Amel chooses to take it. But the opportunity comes with a limited time window and Amel will have to do something she never imagined would be her job. Is she ready to take this next step?
