When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

At age 20, Selene Bowers desperately hopes to be accepted into Henbane Coven, an academy for young witches. Since one of the requirements for entry is to connect with her powers via a quest through the wilderness, Selene books a trip to South America. When a nefarious supernatural force tries to drag her plane from the sky, Selene's magic awakens to save her life—at a cost. Using her powers devours her memories, one by one.

No one told witch Selene Bowers having a soul mate would be so difficult. Nor did they warn her that he might be a vengeful, ancient sorcerer who would frame her for murder, force her to remember a past life he swears she lived, and then coerce her into an unbreakable marriage pact. But that’s exactly what happens the night of the Samhain Ball, when Selene finds herself in a jail cell. After waking from enchanted sleep, Memnon swore to discover why Selene betrayed him long ago.

Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she’s received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer. He’s a man who can get you anything you want … at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one client, he’s never asked for repayment. Not until now.

Siren Callypso Lillis still wears the physical reminders of her time as Karnon’s captive, even after reuniting with soulmate Desmond Flynn, the King of Night. Not only that, but mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls, the being responsible for the disappearance of countless fae warriors, is still out there. Invited to an annual Solstice celebration, Callie and Des journey to the Kingdom of Flora to continue their investigation. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, new complications arise, ones that no amount of bargaining can undo.

For Callypso Lillis, the fae magic that now runs through her veins is equal parts curse and good fortune. While it bonds her to Desmond Flynn, her soul mate and the King of Night, it also leaves her newly vulnerable to the Thief of Souls, who wants to break the Otherworld … and Callie along with it. But it’s not just the Thief whose shadow looms over the fae realms. Des’s father, the previous King of Night, has returned from the dead, and he wants revenge on the son who sent him to the grave in the first place.

The day Jerusalem falls, Miriam Elmahdy knows her life is over. Houses are burning, the streets run red with blood, and a traitorous army is massacring every last resident. There is no surviving this, especially not once Miriam catches the eye of War himself. But when the massive and terrifying horseman corners Miriam, he calls her his wife, and instead of killing her, he takes her back to his camp.

The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: She cannot be killed—not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself. She is the one soul Death doesn’t recognize. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh.

Ana da Silva always assumed she’d die young - she just never expected it to be at the hands of Famine, the haunting immortal who once spared her life so many years ago. But if the horseman remembers her at all, he must not care, for when she comes face to face with him for the second time in her life, she’s stabbed and left for dead. Only, she doesn’t quite die. If there’s one thing Famine is good at, it’s cruelty. In spite of themselves, Ana and Famine are drawn to each other. But enemies or reluctant lovers, if they don’t stop themselves soon, heaven will....

In the beginning, there was darkness. Before he met Callie, before he became the Bargainer, there was Desmond Flynn, the bastard son of a scribe. A boy born to a weak mother, cursed with little magic, and destined to marry a slave. But fate had something else in mind. From the barren caves of Arestys to the palace of Somnia to the streets of earth, this is how Desmond Flynn, a fairy who began with nothing, became the Emperor of Evening Stars.

She’s a martyr. A myth. A ghost. A legend. She’s my soulmate and my captive, my conscience and my wrath. I love her too much to let her die; I fear her too much to wake her from her slumber. She’s mine. And now she’s gone. He’s unnatural. Undying. Unethical. Unstoppable. He’s the keeper of lies and lost souls. Mine slipped through his clutches. I am his wife, his queen, the love of his very long life. And soon, I will be his executioner.

They say I am a queen. They say I married a monster. That I did so willingly. They say he cannot die, that he does not age. That, together, we rule a ravaged world. They say I used to be one of them, but now I am a traitor. They say many things, all which I cannot remember, but.... I fear what they say is true. Then there is what they don't say, what I see in their eyes - the king terrifies them. He cannot be stopped. And, most worrisome of all.... He is coming for me.

In the future, the world is at war. For the last decade, King Lazuli of the Eastern Empire has systematically taken over the world. No one knows much about him other than a series of impossible facts: he cannot die, he has not aged since the conflict began, and he wants to rule the world. All Serenity Freeman has known is bloodshed. War has taken away her mother, her home, her safety. As the future emissary of the Western United Nations, the last autonomous region of the globe, she is responsible for forging alliances where she can.

An dem Tag, an dem Jerusalem fällt, weiß Miriam Elmahdy, dass ihr Leben zu Ende ist. Häuser brennen, die Straßen sind rot vor Blut, und eine verräterische Armee massakriert jeden einzelnen Einwohner. Es gibt kein Überleben, schon gar nicht, als Krieg ein Auge auf Miriam wirft. Doch als der gewaltige und furchterregende Reiter Miriam in die Enge treibt, nennt er sie seine Frau, und anstatt sie zu töten, nimmt er sie mit in sein Lager.

Sie kamen auf die Erde–Pest, Krieg, Hunger, Tod–vier Reiter, die auf ihren wiehernden Rössern bis in die letzten Winkel der Welt ritten. Vier Reiter mit der Macht, die gesamte Menschheit zu vernichten. Sie kamen auf die Erde, und sie kamen, um uns alle zu vernichten. Als Pest die Stadt von Sara Burn heimsucht, ist eines sicher: Jeder, den sie kennt und liebt, ist dem Tod geweiht.

Ils sont venus sur Terre - Pestilence, Guerre, Famine et Mort. Chevauchant leurs effroyables destriers, les Quatre Cavaliers ont parcouru le globe, avec chacun le pouvoir d'anéantir l'humanité. Ils sont venus sur Terre... pour nous éliminer tous. Ana de Silva a toujours su qu'elle mourrait jeune.

Il veut détruire l'humanité. Elle va tout faire pour l'en empêcher. Ils sont venus sur terre - Pestilence, Guerre, Famine et Mort. Chevauchant leurs effroyables destriers, les quatre cavaliers ont parcouru le globe, avec chacun le pouvoir d'anéantir l'humanité. Ils sont venus sur terre... pour nous éliminer tous.

À moins, bien sûr, que le cavalier aux traits angéliques ne soit arrêté avant.

Tout le monde sait que lorsqu'on a besoin d'une faveur, il faut s'adresser au Roi de la Nuit. Il peut vous obtenir tout ce que vous voulez... à condition d'en payer le prix. Et tôt ou tard, il vient toujours collecter son dû. Un seul client a échappé à cette règle. Jusqu'à maintenant. Calypso Lillis est une sirène avec un gros problème. Depuis sept ans, elle cumule les dettes magiques sous la forme de perles noires serties en bracelet autour de son poignet. Autant de faveurs qu'elle doit encore rembourser.

An dem Tag, an dem Tod in Lazarus Gaumonds Stadt kommt und alle auf einen Schlag tötet, ist das letzte, was er erwartet, eine Frau zu sehen, die noch lebt und steht. Aber Lazarus hat eine außergewöhnliche Gabe: Sie kann nicht getötet werden—nicht von Menschen, nicht von den Elementen und nicht vom Tod selbst. Sie ist die einzige Seele, die der Tod nicht erkennt. Die eine Seele, die er nicht aus ihrem Fleisch herausreißen kann. Er kann auch nicht das beunruhigende Verlangen ignorieren, das er nach ihr hat. Sie zu nehmen. Er will es, verzweifelt.

Ana da Silva ist immer davon ausgegangen, dass sie jung sterben würde, sie hätte nur nie erwartet, dass dies durch Hungers Hand geschehen würde, dem unheimlichen Unsterblichen, der sie vor so vielen Jahren verschont hat. Aber wenn der Reiter sich überhaupt an sie erinnert, muss es ihm egal sein, denn als sie ihm zum zweiten Mal in ihrem Leben gegenübersteht, wird sie erstochen und dem Tod überlassen. Nur stirbt sie nicht ganz.
