Etta's happy with her simple life in the mill, but when her aunt passes and leaves her a very peculiar cat, everything goes awry. Now, determined to find her place in the world, Etta's learning to hunt, having audiences with a king, and falling for a man who's keeping something from her. Beau's happy at sea until his father passes and leaves him with an odd last request. Now he's setting up shop in a small town, searching for ogres, and, inconveniently, falling for the miller's sister - who just happens to be taken with someone else.

If twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet knows anything for certain, it’s that she’ll get her desired apprenticeship with the Royal Guild. After all, her family is well-connected, and she’s all but dating the grand duke’s nephew. But Madeline does not get her apprenticeship. Instead, she finds herself working with a trio of knight marshals, traipsing around the US, arresting all manner of magical miscreants. If tracking trolls, running from murderous pixies, and stumbling into a dangerous web of criminal activity isn’t enough to keep her occupied, there’s also Gray, Jonathan, and Eric.

Life is weird. One day, you're in the garden, tending your tulips and growing your flower farm business, and the next, your doctor is handing you a prescription for synthetic blood and signing you up for vampire support groups.

She can finally see the magic to unlock the thresholds to Aparia, and her love life is more stable than it's ever been. Sure, she and her favorite Griffon don't get a lot of quality time together. Also true, several shadow dragons are determined to destroy the human world. On top of that, there's a tiny glitch in the link that even Teagan didn't expect when he worked his Vulture magic on her and Rafe. But all that becomes inconsequential when someone steps forward with the power to not only challenge Madeline's birthright but threaten the safety of people on both sides of the thresholds.

Twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet is certain of three things: she's sick and tired of being kidnapped, her love life is a royal mess, and something is wrong with her magic. Madeline is fabled to be the only woman alive who can open the thresholds to Aparia, but there's a tiny problem—she can't see the magic to unlock them, and time is running out. The shadow creatures are creeping out of hiding once more, the Entitled are furious she slipped through their fingers, and the Royal Guild has discovered her existence. At least her knights have her back… mostly.

It's been a rough couple of days for twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet, the newest (and most reluctant) member of Gray's renowned team of knight marshals. Not only did her shadow creatures create a forest fire that's burning down western Colorado, but she has no idea where to find the thresholds so she can send the beasts back to the land from which they came (or even how to open them). On top of that, her parents have figured out something is amiss with her magic, Rafe has taken off on a wild pixie chase, and the status of her relationship is seated in the region of "it's complicated."

Madeline Bennet has a quartet of knight marshals at her beck and call, and they're all driving her mad. It's only been a week since she was kidnapped, and Rafe's already coddling her, Gray's turned into a surly taskmaster, Eric's trying to steal her cat, and Jonathan is entirely too charming for anyone's good. Only one of them knows her secret—a secret she plans to take to the grave. Unfortunately, that plan falls through the moment a creature of shadows shows up on her doorstep.

Lauren's senior year is going exactly as planned. Her craft blog is getting more visitors every day, and she knows what she's going to do with her life after graduation: get her associate's degree, marry someone fabulous, and live happily ever after.Sure, she doesn't know what she's going to get that degree in, .and there's no Prince Charming on the horizon yet. But, still that's the plan.

With single-minded determination, Henrik has worked toward gaining his knighthood so he may rise above the lowly station in which he was born. But just when the coveted position is within his grasp, he’s tasked with a mission that proves to be far more difficult than expected - secretly keeping a watchful eye on Lady Clover, a nobleman’s daughter with a sharp tongue and a knack for starting fights.

After her brother loses their entire family fortune in a wager he cannot afford, Alice ventures into the Rose Briar Woods to make a deal with the formidable Fae marquis who now owns her family’s estate—a portrait in exchange for her brother’s freedom. But instead of Lord Ambrose, the young artist meets a mysterious masked man who saves her when her carriage is attacked by goblins. Right away, Alice realizes Lord Ambrose is not what she expects. He’s kind when the Fae are supposed to be cold. And he’s hiding a painful past—one that seems to have something to do with Alice.

Lady Clover’s life suddenly takes a turn for the worse when she’s framed for necromancy by Princess Camellia. She and the princess both know she’s not a dark magic user, but little good that does Clover when Camellia disappears. The kingdom is in turmoil over the abduction of their beloved princess, and Clover is determined to find her way into the rescue party - even if Henrik, the most handsome commander in all Caldenbauer and the man of her reoccurring dreams, is in charge.

Greta knows two things to be true. The first: Trolls don't venture into the forest, especially during the day. The second: Kings don't save peddlers' daughters from those trolls, and they certainly don't deposit them atop royal horses and personally escort them home. But sometimes, they do. And sometimes afterward, life gets very complicated....
