Ena is offered a life of freedom and a chance to fight the Guilds. But she can’t win the battle alone....

Never steal from an evil wizarding mastermind. But if fate forces you into staging an international heist? Rule One: Get your story straight before trying to smuggle magical items through customs. Rule Two: If you’re going to use a forged passport, make sure you trust the sketchy dude who made your papers. Rule Three: Be familiar with the local laws before spells start flying. Rule Four: Never trust cats. Rule Five: Don’t think being an ocean away from home will keep your troubles from catching up to you. Some shadows, you can’t outrun.

All he wants is to win her love. A dark spell may separate them forever. A high school loner in a perfect town - that was Jacob’s life. Until his school was ripped apart by magic. After losing everything, Jacob is thrown into a world of enchantment. But the wonder of being a wizard isn’t enough to hide the danger lurking in the shadows.

The human race has been divided. The chosen few live in the safety of the domes, watching through their glass walls as those left on the outside suffer and die. But desperation has brought invention. New drugs have the ability to alter humans, giving them the strength to roam the poisoned night unafraid - but survival comes at a terrible price. Seventeen-year-old Nola Kent has spent her life in the domes, training to protect her little piece of the world within the glass. The mission of the domes is to preserve the human race, not to help the sick and starving.

Seventeen-year-old Nola Kent has spent her life in the domes, training to protect her little piece of the world within the glass. The mission of the domes is to preserve the human race, not to help the sick and starving. When the fate of an outsider child falls into her hands, Nola dares to venture beyond the security of her home, diving into a world of darkness and vampires. Life within the glass didn’t prepare her for the realities of suffering or the depth of forbidden love. When blood washes over the domes, Nola must choose between her home and her heart.

Healing is a hanging offense, and Ena is done risking her neck to watch her patients die. Fleeing a future of blood and death, Ena braves the dark unknown. Life taught her the cruelty of the world. But she never imagined the dangers of her journey. As evil surrounds her, Ena is threatened with a fate worse than the one she escaped. Legends and dark magic stand between her and the future she dreams of. A future that will cost more than pain. When innocent lives depend on her mercy, Ena must face an enemy with the power to set the sky on fire.

Some battles cannot be won. The time has come to fight. There are no allies left. There is nothing but flames ahead. The end has arrived. Prepare for the final installment in the Ena of Ilbrea series.

Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard: 1. Do not destroy your apartment with magical fire. You WILL NOT get the security deposit back. 2. Do not form an alliance with the guy who is trying to murder you. This will end badly. 3. Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably. 4. Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things.

Ancient magic lurks in the shadows. The Black Bloods’ home is more magnificent than Ena imagined, and more perilous than the life she fled. The time has come for the Black Bloods to unite against the Guilds, but loyalties born in blood will be tested by fire. And not everyone she loves will survive the flames. As murder and malice surround her, Ena must prove her innocence or risk a fate worse than death. Facing her enemies will test every friendship she has and risk the heart she has won.

Ena has pledged herself to the Black Bloods’ cause, spending months saving children from the grips of the Sorcerers Guild. But freedom demands a steeper price. Following her heart has led Ena through danger and to a sanctuary she never dreamt existed. Surrounded by magic, a future free of blood and pain seem within her grasp. But hope and love have never been a part of her story.

Three simple steps to wizarding domination. Step One: Find the books stolen from the magical library. Step Two: Steal back the books and bring them to New York. Step Three: Declare wizarding domination. I feel like this is a pretty solid plan. I'm probably wrong...

Being a wizard is hazardous to your health.

Not all wizards were born to be heroes. Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard.

Trapped in the Academy where the beauty of magic is only a myth, Jacob and Emilia struggle to recover from terrible losses after their battle with the Pendragon.

But the war outside the Academy’s walls rages on without them, and the Dragons have scented the Gray Clan’s blood. When death comes from below, will the tethering be enough to keep Jacob and Emilia together, or will their bond finally be broken?

Jacob and Emilia’s souls are bound together, a bond only death can sever. But the Pendragon is hunting the Gray Clan, and there is no place left to hide.

Trapped in the darkness with time running out, Jacob and Emilia must choose between a peaceful future apart and the bloody road they travel together.

The ruins of the city hide secrets Nola never imagined and danger she can’t escape. The domes seek to destroy anyone who might disturb their perfect sanctuary.
