It's easy to blend in and disappear on the streets of Boston. Elle Ward has finally taken control of her own destiny - away from the dark shadow of her family's reputation. Putting her botany and chemistry degree to work, she's the successful owner of her own apothecary. But she lives by a secret identity. Curing innocent Bitten in the basement, she flies under the radar, risking her life, and risking punishment from King Cyrus. But being raised in this world means she can never truly get away from the Houses and their politics.

Logan has returned to Roter Himmel. Once a peaceful haven for the Royals, it is now a kingdom of chaos and distrust. The people may love their queen, but she has never ruled them on her own. Sevan has seen Cyrus work miracles long ago, and learned his methods herself. His curse has sustained stronger than death before but the visage of Cyrus' demise is undeniable. Still, Logan refuses to believe this is the end. Cyrus keeps appearing to her in strange dreams, rambling that she must prepare - that the day is coming when night will rule the day.

Logan’s biological father has been building an army to rise against the Crown, to challenge Cyrus and Sevan for control over the vampires, and their voices will be heard. Every one of them is a rightful Royal. He is not the only one who is tired of hiding in the shadows. Other family members lost their lives trying to bring all vampires into the spotlight, to show the world what they are capable of. With this many descendants, with this much bad blood, this will be a war fought with enemies new and old.

It's been four months since Alex gave everything to save Jessica. Life should be perfect; she has Alex, she's been freed of the nightmares, and most of all - she's alive. But some things have changed, some things haven't. That's the problem. Alex still hasn't asked "the question". Jessica can't see the reason why, and it's tearing her apart. He's keeping something from her.

I came back different. Not born, but made. Stronger. Sharper. Maybe I should be devastated by the choice that was made for me. Instead, I feel powerful. Capable. Invincible. But nothing about this new life matters if I can’t find Ares. He’s unraveling—slipping into darkness, losing time, and leaving blood in his wake. The man I love is becoming something monstrous, and no one knows how to stop it. But I swear I will. Even if I have to tear apart everything else in my life to bring him back.

I have a ward full of comatose vampires who are relying on me to find a way to wake them up. The entire supernatural population of Chicago is at risk. I do not have time to land in jail. This wicked heart of mine needs to stop making my life so complicated.

A plan was laid out as the Evolution crushed mankind, a plan that was right under Eden's nose all along. And Eve is the key to everything. New Eden - mankind - they have a small chance at fixing their dismembered planet. But it will be a reckless sprint against time and the coming Bane to retrieve the final piece to the plot. New Eden's worst fears have become reality. The Bane are back in the city and they're smarter and more aggressive than ever.

The city of New Eden is cleared, but it won't stay that way forever. The Bane continue to advance in horrific ways that will wipe humanity from the face of the Earth. A storm is coming, one none of them could have dared imagine. When a group of outsiders come to the city, everyone is on edge. They have too many questions and not enough answers about where they are from or what they want. Just because they are human doesn't mean they can be trusted.

The Bahiri are real and Nova has found them hidden away on an invisible planet. With their help, she’s finally ready to accept what she is: a Nero. She has to train, to learn how to use her abilities, and she’s got years’ worth of catching up to do. Desperate, she’ll push herself - possibly beyond her limits. But learning how to use her abilities not only awakens her capability to control Neron, but her power to see the future. Going to sleep is a nightmare and heaven, all in the same breath.

It was another day at the ranch, training horses and working 15-hour days. And then the last person I ever expected showed up: Lake McCain, a Marine, tall, ripped - and the best friend of my dead fiancé. Cal died to save Lake, and now Lake claims that he carries a debt to me that he can never repay.

It was just a work party, filled with kissing the well-dressed rear ends of clients and fake smiles. Until my boss accused me of something I didn't do. Until I got pissed and then there was this guy who was hot and flirting with me, and then there were his hands and the backseat of my car and a night of everything but you know what.

It was one of the scariest things I'd ever done: walking out on stage, opening my mouth, and singing for everyone at that wedding to hear. Because I'm awkward. I always mess things up, I forget my lyrics, and guaranteed, I'll do something weird. I'm a nerd, a lab assistant. Not a pop star. But that night, I met someone who changed my life forever. Kale McCain. World-famous model, ladies' man, not a flaw to him. And the most unexpected thing happened - sparks flew.

Long before his big-screen debut Loki was a trickster in Greek mythology. This short story finds Loki running from Odin and Asgard. Only one person cared anything for the scheming Loki, and not matter how hard he worked to disguise himself he is unable to evade the Eye of Odin. Classic mythology narrated by Glenn Hascall.

Augustus sold me to a monster. Now I’m his to feed on, a prisoner in a nightmare I can’t escape. But Ares is coming for me. I know it in my soul. Ruthless and unstoppable, his devotion is as savage as the man himself. He will burn the world to the ground to bring me back. Simply surviving this isn’t enough—there are secrets to unravel, lives to save, and ghosts of the past that refuse to let go. As the line between justice and revenge blurs, so does my place in this world. Loving a vampire means stepping deeper into the shadows, but some ties can’t survive the dark.

I discovered the truth of who Olin really is, and he tried to kill me for it. Me, Nathaniel, our students - we’re not murderers, but he’s putting every single one of us at risk, and a modern witch hunt is just around the corner with him on the loose. We must deal with him. My mother has returned. We have been wary of portal magic ever since her disappearance, but she’s brought with her a tale far more perilous and wilder than I ever could have imagined.

The last place any of us expected the newest mage to come from was the past and a book. But Olin’s arrival has brought answers. He knows why some mages can do magic and why some cannot. We all came to Europe to get answers about magic and our history, and that’s exactly what we’re getting, in the most unexpected ways. While we scour Germany, France, Scotland, and other countries for information and books, Nathaniel and I shakily try to repair what has broken between us. But I’ve noticed something new in Borden’s eyes when he looks at me.

Nathaniel and I thought we were alone in this, until the day our enemy walked through the door, showing us the impossible things he could do. Borden Stewart was the last person we ever thought we could trust - I certainly don’t, but Nathaniel has forgiven and forgotten. As a new semester at Alderidge University starts, the stakes are higher than ever. There are ramifications to Borden leaving the Society Boys. Now all of us - our work - are targets. And how am I ever supposed to focus on school, when the call to bring back magic grows more intense by the day?

Mr. Anderson did something bad to one of our friends. Something despicable. So the five of us, high school seniors, tried to kill him. We failed. Now he’s back to finish the game we started ten years ago. It’s the class reunion from your worst nightmare....

College is hard - classes, homework, bullies. But, being the daughter of renowned professors, I grew up at Alderidge University and was on track to have an easy start to my freshman year. Until I met Nathaniel Nightingale. Aloof and mysterious, Nathaniel’s hands were covered in scars that told me he had a violent history. He started asking questions about my own, and then dark secrets in our family lines collided after a strange discovery in the library. We found words with power, and they unleashed abilities in the both of us that had been lost to the world.
