The Pagans may have retrieved Raina and Callie, but the Templars won't let them go without a fight. To achieve their aims, both the Pagans and Templars need a knowledgeable magik, so they race to secure the first Adept sighted in a generation.

Starting over in the modern human world as a fox shifter is tough enough. But when a malevolent spirit begins possessing and killing those around me, my new life takes a deadly turn.

Zahora's young, naïve, restless, and powerful, so when the Pagans' senior magiks refuse to teach her, she takes matters into her own hands. She stumbles blindly into the magical Sphere, and there are consequences...but at least Rose knows who she is now.

Amari has a perfect life. She's a successful food critic, and is marrying a high flying human rights lawyer. But the day before her wedding, a stranger, Caspar, tries to solicit her help. She sends him away, but can't shake the feeling that she knows him.

With Ryze fighting to keep his power over Amaria, it’s the perfect time for Dawn to strike. The plan is to take back what he stole—The Staff of Sullivan. It’s mysterious. It’s important. With the help of her friends and family, Dawn is determined to find out how…if she can steal it back.

After falling into mage’s oblivion, Dawn wakes to a nightmare. All of Amaria’s magic is out of balance from Ryze’s return, and at Necromancer Academy, unruly magic could mean death. That’s one constant Dawn is prepared for, though. What she isn’t prepared for is how far Ryze’s minions will go to protect The Staff of Sullivan. It’s hidden in the academy’s catacombs, and it must be important. But how? With the skin-walker thwarting her every step, Dawn must find the staff and stop the skin-walker once and for all. Unless it stops her first.

For three long months, Dawn awaits her fate while rotting in a dungeon. But when a stroke of luck finally springs her free, her punishment is far from over. Five of the six Stones of Amaria have been activated. Only the onyx remains. Someone is determined to help Ryze return so he can rule Amaria with a crushing fist—but Dawn still doesn’t know who. Guard the stone, her brother told her. She vows to do exactly that while hunting down a murderer—or murderers. While Dawn stalks the halls of Necromancer Academy once again, it becomes painfully clear that no one is as they seem.

I’m Cora, a witch who escaped my enemies, the mages, to start a new life as a medium. I swore off both men and book boyfriends, especially Merlin. Except, my best friend and vampire librarian persuades me to help her run her book club for werewolves, dragons, and fae in the magical English village of Witch Hollow. When the library grimoire casts a curse, we can only find our true love from within our book of the month. I don’t believe in true love, so I choose my book as a joke.

Last spring, Dawn found her older brother dead in a pool of his blood. His killer stood over him, wearing a smile as sharp and ghastly as his knife. Last summer, she tracked the killer down. He’s a student at Necromancer Academy and part of a secret fraternity known as the Diabolicals.

To live in the human world, Fae must adhere to a certain code. If they don't, they die - and it's up to my people, the Order of Assassins, to carry out the sentence. Fae aren't the only ones held to these standards. Assassins are, too. Why? Humans are dangerous, especially when they don't understand something, and there are more of them than there are of us. I've spent my life following the rules - until I didn't. Now, I'm the one being hunted. It's strange being the prey, and even though I hate to admit it, I find myself seeking help from men fate deems are my Bonded.

I’m Autumn, the powerful reaper of both gods and demons. But how can I resist their wicked beauty? Now Loki, Hades, and my gorgeous demon, Oni, are mine. Yet the end of the world is coming, Ragnarök. Ra - tall, blond, and perfect - is my Soul Bond and phoenix. My hot shifter lovers are battling to survive. But it’s Ra, my sorcerer Sun God, who may be the greatest danger to the realms, and it’s like having the Soul torn from me. When my protector becomes the threat, it’s my enemy who steps up to defend me. Can I save my lovers?

We thought we’d prepared for the fight. We were wrong. Everything I was told about the first soul mates could never prepare me for their actual arrival. More powerful than we could prepare for, the first soul mates control the minds of our closest allies, leaving The Six and my soul mate without any option but to surrender to their murderous ways. When suicides and disappearances go on the rise in our community, I know the first soul mates are behind it, and when I discover the reason, it’s more nightmarish than I could have imagined.

I’m ready to start fresh. I mean, who wouldn’t be after defeating demons at a rave sent there by my criminal mastermind parents? I could use a vaca. Instead, I get a job. But I can’t complain. I’ve been hired as a full-time demon hunter for the best agency in the country. There’s only one little problem. Dax Murphy is my boss. Soon, people in our agency start going belly-up, and what I think is a routine investigation turns into a fight for our lives. When Dax and I are trapped together in an evil playscape, only my undeveloped magic stands between us and oblivion.

There are some sights you can never unsee. Visions of my brother, my chosen mate, and my friends meeting their individual gruesome ends? That is something that will stay with me forever. The Originals made me experience the faux tragedies, and their message is clear - do things our way or they all die. The problem is that doing things their way could lead to the genocide of all non-gifted humans and suppression of all paranormals. That’s just not something my group and I can accept. Even if it puts our lives at risk, we have to fight for the future - our own and the humans.

I’m Autumn, an Infernal reaper, and I’m bound to my sexy-as-hell rebel gods by their shifter spirits. When Hades, scorching hot King of the Underworld and savage hell hound, hunts me through the Eternal Forest, I’m caught in his dangerous spell.

Being stuck in a dangerous place with my worst enemy just might kill me. My plans for revenge due to the death of someone close keeps getting derailed as I navigate my estranged relationship with my werejackal boyfriend and defend a friend arrested for murder. And if that wasn't enough, I'm forced to compete in the ultimate magic competition against my new enemy, Phillip Leal. The loser will have to give up his or her freedom to the winner, and being that Phillip is a cruel and ruthless egomaniac, I can’t afford to lose.

I'm Kami: tool spirit, former villain, and wannabe good guy. I have a human body now, which helps me understand why my mate Jack sacrifices himself for those he loves, taking the evil spirit Ambrose into his flesh so I can lead him away at gunpoint. I understand, but I'm ill-equipped to deal with the aftermath, especially once Ambrose turns the tables and captures me. To make matters worse, someone is trying to harm young shifters and Ambrose is tapped to hunt the culprit. My captor's greedy grin suggests he's actually more interested in partaking of the spoils himself.
