He’s a beast whose strength is unparalleled, a creature who demands my obedience. But even as the twisted parts of me are drawn to him, I refuse to be broken.

Sienna isn't sure how much longer she can hang on to the shred of humanity left within her.

I’m in love with the man who murdered me. Love story for the ages, right? You know, you’d think spending two years trapped between the living and the dead would have given me a chance to reconsider the life choices that led to my untimely demise. Apparently I’m a glutton for punishment, though, because the moment I see him, I know staying away is not a possibility. But see, loving the man who ripped my throat out is not my only problem. It's not even my biggest one. I'm cursed. Condemned. Doomed. And did I mention I’m being hunted?

What they feared has come to pass, and now, stuck in the center of an ancient war, Sienna and Daxon set out in search of a mythical stone that's rumored to have the ability to reshape their world.

And as an enemy unlike any they've ever faced sets its sights on plunging the realm into never-ending darkness, our heroes are faced with the impossible task of eliminating the threat, once and for all.

I crave Rafferty. His touch. His scent. Even his broody temperament. He’s given me something to live for just when I’m on the brink of death.

And even as I know my death will be his salvation, it’s my sacrifice that threatens to tear the world apart.

She is in hell. Trapped in the shadows, Rainey is unable to do much more than watch while her entire life is destroyed. While the Original Witch's plan continues to fall perfectly in place, it's up to Elijah to put it all on the line and save his hunter. Or die trying.

Sold into a life of subjection, my fate has never been mine to control. I'm a princess in name only, a pawn to be sacrificed when it serves the crown. As word of a coming war spreads throughout the land, the king contracts with a man whose brutal reputation surpasses those coming for the throne. The brute agrees to defend the kingdom, but at a steep price—me. While our union will ensure the safety of my people, I’m not certain of my own. It is rumored that peace and mercy are not familiar words to the man I'm to marry—a man with an angry golden gaze that follows my every move.

After a brutal childhood left her with both physical and emotional scars, Anastasia has fought for years to put an end to the nightmares. It's with him, the boy next door who is now the man she cannot live without, that she can finally hope for a happy ending. But in Anastasia's world, hope is a very, very dangerous thing. When she is kidnapped and dragged into a perilous world, Anastasia discovers that her nightmares are not figments of a broken mind, but premonitions of her new reality. Can she fight her way to freedom when the only person who ever believed in her is a world away?

Detective Rainey Astor has run headfirst into danger for as long as she can remember. Her trip to Salem was no different, and although she and Elijah are back in Billings, nothing could have prepared them for the repercussions they will face upon their return home. Determined to get back to normal despite the fact that everything's changed, Rainey dives back into work at the same time bodies of dead witches start popping up all over town. Their ritualistic style murders scream sacrifice, but there's something darker at work.

With Merrick at my side, I have the power to control my own destiny. He is my rock. My alpha. Together, we are the force that will bring a kingdom to its knees. There's only one problem, though. Merrick's control is slipping.

Altered by suffering, hardened by trauma, when I finally emerge into the next phase of my life—or rather death—I am no longer the same person. He is what keeps me going. What brings me home. By the time I make my way back, though, Rafferty is gone. Changed. Forged in the flames of his own darkness.

When the doctors mention hospice, I know it’s time to take my life—or death—into my own hands. Stumbling through a portal into the fae realm wasn’t part of the plan. But then I see him—the man who claimed my dreams with glimpses of his piercing golden gaze. Seeing him once gave me strength; now, he gives me hope. The creatures here claim he’s a rebel. A murderer. A traitor to their crown—a crown they say I’m tied to in irrevocable ways. I say he might be my only path to salvation.
