When everything you thought you could rely on is ripped away from you, you have no choice but to find out what you’re truly made of. And deep down in the depths of my soul, I know that I was made to survive. I have suffered through torment, fought against my oppressors, and tamed the creatures who tried to bury me in the dark. It’s time that everyone stopped underestimating me. I’m done being a queen without a crown. I’m ready for my coronation.

I had my chance to run from these brutal boys, and I didn’t take it. The bonds between us are too strong now. Bonds of blood, oaths, betrayal, and vengeance. And I intend to make good on all of them. I’ve made my list. And I won’t stop until each and every one of their crimes has been paid for.

I’m the girl who no one wanted. Or the one who got away. Depending on who you ask. Either way, betrayal and heartache have been my friends for far too long and it’s time for me to start over. I gave the Harlequin boys a chance to change. A chance to prove that history wasn’t just set to repeat itself. But they failed with spectacular colors.

Cruel. Heartless. Quarantined. The ruthless boys of Everlake Prep never saw lockdown coming. But the virus isn’t their number one enemy. I am. And as if being confined to a boarding school for the elite wasn’t bad enough, now I’m stuck in isolation with the boys who hate me most too. With the virus escalating and my dad’s name splashed through the news, my entire world is falling apart. What he did has cast a dark shadow over me. And the Night Keepers want to make me pay for his crimes.

I was back in my hometown at last, surrounded by the boys I’ve loved for my entire life, and I’d finally had everything I’d ever wanted. But fate never was kind to this dead girl, and we aren’t done fighting to claim our happily ever after. This might not be a fairy tale, but I swear on all I am that I’ll defeat the villain of our story before it’s done. The only question left to answer is whether or not we’ll all live to see him die. I’ll do whatever it takes to get revenge for everything Shawn has taken from us and claim the ending we deserve.

The Harlequin boys are more than just a memory now. More than a daydream of our youth and an idea to cling onto. They’re my greatest weakness and my biggest regret, but I’ve started to realize that coming back to Sunset Cove was always my fate. My heart beats to the turn of the tide here. My skin only warms beneath this sun. And my soul will only ever be home on these streets and with the men who grew out of my memories. But nothing is the same as I remember, and the time for childish games is coming to an end.

I made my choice. I took the hard way out. Now all of our fates are riding on the dice I’m about to throw and luck never was on our side. I was whole once, with my boys in this slice of paradise we’d carved out for ourselves, but in the time that we were parted we grew up. Grew apart. And as much as I might have yearned to reclaim that girl with the sand between her toes and the sun on her cheeks, it’s time I admit that I spent too long in the shadows to ever truly be her again.

Being a killer wasn't what 18-year-old Selena Grey ever expected she'd become. But with her stepfather's blood fresh on her hands, she finds herself walking into an eight by six prison cell where she'll live out the next 25 years of her life. Or so she thought.... When a man as beautiful as he is terrifying walks into the prison, Selena is the only one seemingly unaffected by his charms.

The walls of my world are crumbling, and it may be too late to save us. The clock is ticking, and a cruel fate has been laid at my feet. And now, I am standing at a crossroads, with the blade of destiny in my grip.

His family killed my brother, so I stole his bride. I was there to murder her father, but then I saw her walking down the aisle. She’s been my secret obsession for too long. The sinfully beautiful Calabresi princess. Sloan was the perfect payment for their crimes. Now she’s mine. Mine to claim. Mine to possess. Mine to destroy. Her fiancé is still hunting for us, but his bride might not be so innocent by the time he tracks her down. I’m lining her family up like dominoes. And she’ll be the first to fall. Unless I fall prey to temptation and keep her for myself.

Ten years ago, The Harlequin Boys broke my heart. I thought my life was complete with them at my side, the five of us against the world, having each other’s backs no matter what the cost. I’d fight for them until my dying breath. It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same. Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for. This is the story of how they destroyed me.

She was broken by the men who took her, so now I'm going to make them bleed. I might be her savior, but I'm no valiant knight. There's only one thing I want in return for helping the girl I found in the wilderness. And that's her. Winter may not remember who she is, but she'll soon realize that the only thing she needs to be is mine.

I’m the prince of death. A son of carnage born of wicked deeds and sin-filled nightmares. Nobody understood me. Until her. My Spider. The wild girl I claimed from a sea of violent men. But others want her too. The enemies who lurk within my walls seek to steal her from my grasp. They’re my captives, but maybe they’re the answer to my greatest fear too. Because the Grim Reaper shadows every move I make, and he’s always watching her.

I was sold to my enemies. The Butchers of the London mob, who run an empire built on sin and greed. The stories I’ve heard about the way they rule their underworld are enough to make my heart race. But those rumors have nothing on the truth. Danny, Church, Frank. The three men who own me now. They made a peace deal with my family, which came at a cost—me. A mafia princess gifted to them as a bride. So here I am in my white dress with a gun to my head and a knife in my garter. The war between our families might have ended with this union, but I’m starting a battle of my own.

There’s one thing they don’t tell you about men without souls when they’re cast into damnation. Once we make a home for ourselves in hell, there’s nothing left to fear from life. And a man without fear is a man without limits. I hadn't had any limits in 10 long years.

A twisted heart, a hollow soul. A broken warrior, lost gods of old. A thief of shadows, blessed with light; a single lie which stole their might. A princess to win, in a brutal game. A great empire falling to a monster’s claim. A forbidden love, a curse untold. The last immortal trapped in a coin of gold.

Die Schatten sind in meinem Blut. Ich kann spüren, wie sie durch mich kriechen, sich unter meiner Haut winden und mich zu ihrer Geisel machen. Aber die Dunkelheit in mir ist nicht annähernd so schlimm wie die Dunkelheit, die um mich herum herrscht. Die vier Celestia-Erben werden vor nichts Halt machen, um das Leben meiner Schwester und mir zu zerstören. Aber sie haben noch nicht begriffen, dass wir die stärksten Wesen sind, die sie je kennengelernt haben.

Die Antwort auf eure Frage wird sich bei der Mondfinsternis zeigen. Aber lasst euch nicht von den Schatten vereinnahmen, wenn ihr die Wahrheitherausfindet. Die Höllische Woche hat begonnen. Die Seniors haben die Aufgabe, das Leben der Freshmen zu einer echten Qual zu machen,während wir uns auf die Abrechnung vorbereiten – die Prüfung, die darüber entscheidet, ob wiran der Zodiac Academy bleiben können oder unseren Platz hier für immer verlieren. Doch angesichts der nahenden Mondfinsternis haben meine Schwester und ich mehr zubefürchten als nur das Bestehen unserer Prüfungen.

Ich bin ein Zwilling – sowohl in Bezug auf mein Sternzeichen als auch auf meine Geburt. Außerdem bin ich impulsiv. Neugierig. Eigensinnig. Erbin eines Throns, von dessen Existenz ich keine Ahnung hatte. Und wie sich nun herausstellt, bin ich auch Fae.

Sie haben versucht, uns zu vernichten. Fast wären sie damit erfolgreich gewesen. Aber wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen. Die Celestia-Erben wähnen die Sterne auf ihrer Seite. Aber sie wissen nicht, was sie erwartet. Wir müssen klug vorgehen. Sie einzeln zu bekämpfen, ist keine Option, also müssen wir kreativ werden. Es wird nicht einfach sein, unter dem Radar zu bleiben. Aber wenn uns das gelingt, werden sienichts von unserer Beteiligung ahnen, wenn ihr Leben aus den Fugen gerät. Außerdem haben sie uns bereits an die Schwelle zur Hölle gebracht – wie viel weiter können sienoch gehen?
