There are three rules to fighting a rebel. Rule one: Play their games. They might be rebels, but they prefer compliance. Hypocritical jerks. Rule two: Teach them they’re not in charge. If they disagree, devour them. No one can resist a dhampir’s bite. Rule three: Forget all the rules. Because anything goes. With the fate of the Royale future on the line, I must do what I know how to do best and rebel against those who think they can control me. The Baron Coven believes I’m theirs, but they’ll figure out soon enough that I’ll never give up Bronx, Jameson, Mikkalo, and Everett.

After the revelation of the head of the Royale Region’s demise, Bronx, Everett, Mikkalo, and Jameson must figure out how to save our home.

Because if I don’t succeed, I’ll disappoint the guys who promised me forever. I’ll ruin the holidays for everyone. So, a miracle it is. If only it wasn’t so bloody.

Kingston, Austin, and Diego finally have the chance to create the life we want with the help of Orlando, who isn’t so bad now that I’m away from the Divine name.

Dear listener, I hope you find this note before it gets lost in the waves. Before I get to send another letter and tell you about what happened to me. It all started when my family and I came to the quiet town of Argos, Washington, to start a new life. Again. However, the more I learned about this run-down seaside town, the more mysterious it became. Sea monsters in the bay, weird and extremely secretive townsfolk, and too handsome men.

Humans are dangerous. That's the lesson faeries are taught as soon as their flower petals unfurl. It's the first thing Aerewyn remembers the priestesses telling her as a young girl. Why then, when she stumbles upon a human boy in the woods, does she find him so intriguing? His blue eyes don't shine with malice. His smile doesn't menace. And when she later discovers he's been knocked unconscious in a storm, injured and alone in the forest, the only thing he seems in danger of is dying. So she saves his life - a single act that will change the fate of both their worlds.

The year is 1917, and the Russian Empire is on verge of collapse.

Alanna thought rock climbing in Yosemite National Park would be the trip of a lifetime. But an earthquake strikes, and she finds herself plummeting to her death.

It’s 1916, and the world is on fire. The Great War has already consumed much of the globe, but a second, secret war between sorcerers threatens to crack it in two. The ruling families of Germany and Austria-Hungary, those with the chill of magic in their blood, will stop at nothing in their quest for power, and they’ve drawn the entire world into a bloody war because of it. But Florence Cavell - code name Geist - means to stop them. She had to defy her family, cut her hair, and disguise herself as a man to join the legendary Ethereal Squadron.

Hundreds of years ago, humans learned the secret to sealing magic beneath their skin and stole it from the world. Faeries reverted to flowers. Shifters remained trapped in their animal forms. Mermaids turned to foam. And the magical creatures who survived vowed revenge. Nymia is one of those survivors - a faerie brought back to life by the return of her magic. When she finds a human girl named Ella with her sister's power trapped beneath her skin, she'll do anything to get her back, including kill her.
