ANCIENT HATRED NEVER DIES.

For two centuries, the Der’geron have waited.

Exiled after the great elven war, they have nursed their vengeance in silence. Now, as unrest fractures the Northern Kingdom and alliances weaken, the long-shadowed enemy begins to rise.

Callum Walker never asked for destiny.

But when he and his companion Jax attempt to repair the failing veil between realms, they are captured and dragged into the hellish grotto beneath Elfarian. Forced to labor or die, Callum uncovers a terrifying truth:

This will not be a war.

It will be a reckoning.

Tempted by dark magic and haunted by his own buried anguish, Callum must decide whether to embrace a power that may save the realm—or destroy his soul.

For readers who love epic fantasy with political tension, reluctant heroes, and magic that comes at a cost.

Gehenna isn’t on Google Maps and there’s no Angel Annihilation for Dummies. To Miriam Feldman, list lover extraordinaire, this is an irritating oversight.

It’s fine. She’s got this mission under control. Sure, her instructions are vague, and her team is trigger-happy, but she’s got plenty of motivation to carry them to victory.

Vengeance counts, right?

Plus, if ridding the world of celestial menaces doesn’t top up Miri’s karmic bank, then stopping a vampire contagion will definitely earn her some good will.

Unless it gets her killed. That’s a distinct possibility.

One which she refuses to worry about since she’s got her shiny new relationship with a sexy wolf shifter to enjoy. And honestly, his family dysfunction is making hers look pretty damn insignificant.

How’s that for positive thinking? She’s going to nail this.

But Suzanne quickly regrets her naïveté after Wilbur’s widow is violently robbed and assaulted.

The wedding was perfect. The body ruined everything.

Interior designer turned amateur sleuth Minna Halonen has finally hit her stride. Hygge House is thriving, and she and business partner Christie Andersson are pulling out all the stops for Lakewood's most anticipated wedding — a dreamy Midsummer celebration with Nordic feasting, a lakeside bonfire, and flower-strewn gardens glowing in the golden northern light.

Then the groom's favourite uncle vanishes before the rehearsal dinner.

When Minna finds Uncle Rick slumped lifeless in a Muskoka chair, it's clear this wasn't just a man who wanted to skip the speeches. His last message was cryptic. His reasons for avoiding the wedding, it turns out, were very good ones.

With a grieving family, a rattled bride and groom, and her business reputation on the line, Minna must once again trade her decorator's instincts for detective work — before a killer slips away under the cover of Midsummer night.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with warm settings, charming characters, and just enough chill to keep you turning pages.
