When children go missing, and the Humans have no leads, I'm the one they call. I am their last hope in bringing home the lost ones. I salvage what they cannot. When the dust settles, my heart feels as though it will never be pieced back together. But there are too many lives riding on my ability to function at my best. So I push through. And I find that I still have some fight left in me. Now I have one last task before I can rest: to find the simple ingredients of a spell. A spell that will help heal much of my wounds.

Demons are putting rips in the veil in order to cross over and steal my friends and allies away. But, going after them isn’t even close to simple. The deepest level of the veil is not a place you can just open a doorway to, after all, and, of course, that’s where they’ve been taken. As fate would have it, it looks like I might get some help from a trained demon slayer and his fire-breathing ride. The only problem? Said demon slayer claims to have family ties to me. And I’ve never trusted my family. Nor am I about to start now.

My name is Rylee and I am a Tracker. When children go missing, and the humans have no leads, I'm the one they call. I am their last hope in bringing home the lost ones. I salvage what they cannot. One last salvage and the final battle with Orion and the demon hordes will be upon me. I don't know the name of the person I'm Tracking, or what she looks like so finding her is going to be...impossible. But she is the key to defeating the demons.

Named as the new Mistress of Underhill, I must gather those I trust to untangle the deadly riddles or I will be left to face the darkness alone. The politics of the earth and fae realms, the survival of all, and the remains of my tattered heart will all be decided in a final battle. But as more and more players enter this war of realms, I realize that things are not what they seemed. If I am to see this through to the end, I must do what my mother asked of me. Somehow I must embrace a destiny that feels impossible… and give up on a love impossible to deny.

To stand at the side of an elemental as their familiar is a gift given to few familiars. Yet here I stand with my thirteenth - Larkspur, child of the earth. I do not want this charge, for all my previous have ended in deaths I could not prevent. I am not sure my heart can take another loss of one bonded with me. Larkspur’s strength and heart call to me as only one other elemental's had, and I cannot deny the need to protect her and to shield her from all pain.

An everyday vacation quickly turns into a nightmare of epic proportions. Two sisters must struggle to find the strength within themselves to survive as well as to save one another. When the world of Fae emerges on a rocky shore far from the Emerald Isle, all hell breaks loose. Two factions vie for the sister’s loyalties, one light, the other dark. Neither honest.

My name is Mara, and I want desperately to become a mother. All of my dreams were dashed when the world was promised hope but instead became a place of danger, death...and monsters. Nevermores, human but feral and lethal creatures with a thirst for flesh, have arisen from the ashes of human hope. Now co-inhabitants in this new world, I am gaining ground in my understanding of them just as I am forced to face a new threat from the local militia.

My name is Leah, and I am a Cazador. Trained to hunt and kill vampires over 300 years ago, my training became essential once I became one of those monsters. The underbelly of the supernatural world has begun to bleed into the human world, and journalist Rachel Sambrook is asking too many dangerous questions. Unwittingly, she's revealed a conspiracy I had hoped would never become a reality: using vampire blood for human experiments. As I attempt to contain her, she's by my side, and the truth of just how deep the darkness goes is exposed.

The Storm Queen has been defeated. And the first two challenges have been conquered. You’d think that it would be all downhill from here. Well, if it was downhill at warp speed into more trouble, then you’d be absolutely correct. The demon city sits before us, and beyond that lies the castle of Asag, the beast from the east. He has our friends. He has our magic. He has the dragon hatchlings. What have we got? Unexpected allies, a twisted path, and the realization that defeating a demon on his own turf...might not be possible. Does that stop us from trying? Not for a second.

Since dropping out of Neverthorn Academy, after the death of her mother, Harlow Dragon has been working as an enchanted-jewel thief. The last thing she expects is for the school to make an offer she can’t refuse: come back to Neverthorn and join seven others with secret magical abilities in House Phoenix. There, they’ll be trained in potions, rune casting and combat. Because Nocta – a powerful dark wizard who has been plaguing the magical realm for decades – has the mortal world in his sights, and the students of House Phoenix are all that stand in his way.

When children go missing, and the Humans have no leads, I'm the one they call. I am their last hope in bringing home the lost ones. I salvage what they cannot. O’Shea is AWOL, and Tracking him is proving to be harder than I expected. Not to mention the small fact that I have the Beast of Bodmin Moor chasing me across Europe, in a race against the odds, and my life as the prize.

My name is Rachel Sambrook, and I thought I understood the world...until I discovered the world is full of living, breathing monsters. When I teamed up with Lea, I thought we had stopped the experiments on vampire blood. All we did was open a can of wolves we had not expected. The clues we find take us halfway across the world and, to my irritation, leave us depending on two men. One, a werewolf who has his own set of secrets. And the other, a Cazador like Lea...only this one is human and more tempting than I’d like to admit.

Led by a man with a taste for torture and a love of suffering, Sebastian and I are confronted with the seemingly impossible obstacle of escape. Caged and kept from our allies, our opportunities for freedom dwindle. There is only one way to save us both. I am forced to unearth and embrace the dark side of my heart.

When we arrived at the compound, we believed we had found our safe haven at last. For the briefest of moments, their medicine and science lulled us into a false sense of security. But within the bowels of this haven, where the cure for Nevermore is being developed, there lurks an evil that is far worse than anything we've already encountered. Sebastian is used as a test subject, a process that, instead of curing him, is slowly killing him. As his heart falters, mine must draw upon new strength if I am to fight our way out of the compound.

Orpheline. Formée au combat. Conditionnée depuis toujours à craindre le pouvoir de l'Autre Monde. Secrètement amoureuse d'un homme qui ne veut pas de moi. Je ne suis qu'Alli, l'orpheline mi-faë, mi-humaine, mais la vie commence enfin à me sourire. Il n'aura fallu que vingt-quatre ans. Quand l'Autre Monde, le royaume ancestral des faës, s'effondre, nous empêchant tous d'y accéder, je suis la seule à savoir qui est responsable de sa destruction. Ce secret me coûtera la vie si je n'agis pas au plus vite.

Ausgestoßen. Als gesuchte Mörderin auf der Flucht. Dazu verdammt, niemals den Mann zu berühren, der ihr Blut in Wallung bringt. Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit meinte es das Leben noch gut mit Kallik aus dem Hause Royal. Jetzt sieht es ganz und gar nach Absturz aus. Dieser neueste Shitstorm - ja, er übertrifft alles. Der Vater, der sie von Geburt an gemieden hat, liegt kalt und tot in der Erde. Die Gerichte sind in Aufruhr und wollen Blut sehen. Ihr Blut. Sie muss den wahren Mörder finden, doch dieses Rätsel verblasst angesichts des Wahnsinns, der die Fae zu zermalmen droht.

Endlich hat er sich gezeigt: der Shadowkiller. Was führt er im Schilde? Steckt er hinter der geheimnisvollen Krankheit? Und was hat das Haus der Wunder mit all dem zu tun? Zu allem Überfluss wurde ich auch noch von meinen Freunden getrennt. Doch egal, wie weit weg sie auch sein mögen – eine geheimnisvolle Verbindung zwischen uns wird immer stärker... Aber unsere Feinde warten überall, und sie verstecken sich nicht länger. Sogar unsere engsten Verbündeten könnten uns verraten. Wahrscheinlich sollte ich in Deckung gehen und warten, bis der Staub sich gelegt hat.

Prelevata dai recinti, venduta all’asta a un contingente di vampiri e spedita oltreoceano verso i territori alfa non era esattamente il modo in cui avevo pianificato di trascorrere la mia settimana. In realtà, avevo previsto solo la prima parte. Ma avrei dovuto essere venduta ai lupi mannari per salvare il mio amico da un destino peggiore della morte. Invece, sono finita nelle grinfie dei succhiasangue che mi hanno strizzata in un corsetto alla Bridgerton per partecipare ai Giochi del Raccolto.

Die zwei gefährlichsten Wesen der magischen Welt sind hinter mir her – Direktorin Frost und der Shadowkiller. Doch sie sind nicht die einzigen Chamäleons, die um die Vorherrschaft kämpfen. Ich bin eine von ihnen. In einer Welt, in der niemand ist, was er zu sein scheint, habe ich einen Vorteil: Meine Feinde unterschätzen mich.

In eine Akademie für Magier, Monster und Meuchelmörder aufgenommen zu werden, ist nicht gerade meine Vorstellung von höherer Bildung. Aber hier bin ich, verkleidet als mein eigener Bruder, und kämpfe um einen Platz an Shadowspell. Denn wenn ich versage, werden sie meine Familie umbringen. Als bei den gefährlichen Prüfungen auch noch meine Freunde verschwinden, will die Akademie, dass ich sie vergesse und keine Fragen stelle. In einer Welt, in der niemand ist, was er zu sein scheint, gilt die Regel: Vertraue nur dir selbst. Aber mich an Regeln zu halten, war noch nie meine Stärke.
