Our enemies are out in the open now - we have them in our sights. Unfortunately, that means we’re more exposed than ever, too. We found the Qilin, but we’ve lost my vampire. My guys tell me he’ll be fine, but will we?Just when I think I have Haret figured out, I find a new piece to the puzzle. There are cities in the sky, magical creatures losing magic, and goddesses cracking under the pressure.

My whole life, I’ve wished for family but found foes, instead. All this changed in a matter of days when I met the guys from Haret - my dragon, shifter, mage, fae, merman, and vampire. Each man has his own unique magic, and as a Qilin, I have the power to channel it. There’s one huge problem, though. I got my piece of dragon, but if the ringmaster finds out, he’ll use Jack to get to us. With Underbelly controlling Jack, we don’t know who to trust.

We were thrown into Haret without a plan, and we have a lot of ground to cover. Allies would be nice, but not everyone is happy to see my team return. We’re finding more secrets than intel. Plus, I’m not allowed to shank my new mother-in-law, who definitely deserves a horn to the heart. My guys are eager to share their home with me, but darkness seeps in everywhere we go.

Barely a week after a searing wraith battle left me with amped-up supernatural abilities, I’m back to my cover as Essie Shaw, “normal” beat cop. My frostbite-inducing empathic gift and enhanced hearing, I can work with. My combat spell - weak, at best - still comes in handy. But it’s the 24/7 glowing eye thing that’s toughest to hide. When an encounter with a feral vampire nearly kills my partner (déjà vu, anyone?), the chief of police gives me a make-or-break assignment: join the JP team.

My whole life has been turned upside down and set on fire, but now I’m Agent Essie Shaw, full-fledged JP team member. I walk hand-in-hand with Gideon, crave all of Marcus’s ferocious passion, yearn for Jacob’s intense stillness - and ache for Kol, whose soul is torn so deep he’s thinking of doing the unthinkable. Leaving the team.

They’ll do anything to protect her...as long as they never learn her secret. I’m Officer Essie Shaw, and I shouldn’t exist. If anyone finds out their friendly neighborhood beat cop is a nephilim - public enemy number one - I’ll be imprisoned. Or worse, dissected. I survive by keeping my head down and my barely there magic under wraps. But when I lose a fight with a strange, smoke-like wraith, I’m confronted with my worst nightmare.

Death isn’t the end. Surrender is overrated. Killing for love is the only cure… I fear nothing, no one. Not even the boys who loved me that I lost. Dead. Buried. Gone. One by one. I am alone. I need to be stronger. I have to evolve If I’m to survive. If I’m going to save us all. Jude is my rock. Lorcan is my faith. Dante is my blade. Dino was the light to my darkness. And me… I’m the monster who comes in the night. I’m the bitch back from hell to make you weep. My father will know it when I slice him and every last one of his sinners into pretty ribbons for what they did to me… To my family.

Lust fuels the worst evil. Love is overrated. Killing for retribution is everything I’ve ever wanted... They’re all going to die. Those who have sinned will know it. Sorrow. I’ll carve it in their bloody hearts if I have to. I can’t help it. This is who I am.

I thought that the hardest thing I would have to face this year would be Trial Month. Gods, I was naïve. My name is Luna Moon. Don’t ask me what I am, because complicated doesn’t even begin to cut it. I recently found out that everything I knew to be true has been a lie. The goddesses and their chosen Guardians have been keeping a secret, and in the wrong hands, this secret would plunge our worlds into chaos. We are the only thing that stands in the way of the realms’ greatest evil escaping his eternal prison. Scratch that, I'm the only thing standing in his way.

Callahan, a former army sniper, wants to make an escape from his past and everything he experienced at war. He doesn't want to get close to anyone - let alone Trinity. He finds her perkiness insufferable and her attempts to entice a smile distracting. After all, he's in Kiawah to leave all feelings behind. But when it comes to Trinity, who feels everything, it's hard not to feel something.

Nimue has a special way with animals, especially her pony, Cloud. As she rides, she talks to Cloud, to the birds, to the trees, and all the living things. An only child who walks with a limp, riding her pony makes her feel strong when the real world isn't kind to her. Children tease her because she talks to animals and trees and walks differently than them. Her parents scold her for believing in magic and what they deem a fantasy world. When Nimue seeks to unlock the Earth Keeper's Gift, she encounters a magical world filled with talking animals, talking plants, and adventure.

The rest of the werewolf pack might consider Aric Connor to be omniscient and destined to save the world when evil returns to claim it. But for the most part, 15-year-old Aric ignores the confirmations of his powers, taking everything in stride until he meets her. Celia Wird wasn't supposed to awaken naked in the mountains of Colorado, not when she was just stalking her prey in a filthy alley several states away. She especially wasn't supposed to meet Aric, the handsome werewolf who comes to her aid.

My happily ever after is here, and I’m going to make the most of it. I have my men, my new families, and my people all coming together to make sure things are safe for what’s coming next—our twins. It’s time to turn inward and create our new family, instead of worrying about the world outside. We’re not sure what our twins will mean to some, but I’m not worried. On top of all the help I have, I’ve learned the most important lesson—to trust myself. I’m Carlyle Licorne, and I finally feel like an everyday goddess.

Home is calling, and I've ghosted long enough. It's time to visit my mother—she's the last option for getting answers to my questions. The problem is, my gut still doesn't trust her. How can a girl learn to be a mother from someone who's never really been one? The jaguar twins are still growing in power, but the twins in my belly are, too. I don't have the time or energy to split between these pairs, forcing me to place my trust in people I barely know. It's time to see how deep this love between the Qilin and the dragons really goes. I'm Carlyle Licorne, and I'm having mommy issues.

Talk about rags to riches. Cinderella had nothing on me. I have a sparkly new crown, a remodeled ancient castle, and I’m mated to six of the most delectable princes a girl could conjure. But my happily-ever-after honeymoon still seems a long way off. There are plenty of magical creatures in Haret and Earth who would kill to see me dethroned - literally - and we can’t let our guard down yet. Still, my men promised me a break and a bucket list, and my mates always deliver their goods. We’ll just have to get our sugar in small bites.

Well, that was embarrassing. Imagine my surprise when spontaneous shifting gets added to my list of pregnancy symptoms. There's never a good time for that sort of horniness. Dair thinks he knows just the mage to contact, but are Patriam and potions really the answer? The jaguar twins are growing their following faster than I'm healing Haret.

A gamble gone wrong. Hoping to avoid another Darkblood death, we took the proactive route. I had no idea it would get this dangerous for me instead. Lata and Sol were only trying to help, but now the whole lion pride may be in trouble. I’ve grown too confident in my power, and my enemies just found a way to my weakness.

Sugar keeps a Qilin in the light. We all knew it from dealing with Aleron, and I vowed I'd never go dark. But what's a girl to do when her own body rejects the sweetness she craves? Healing Haret is still my mission, but my mates and I are starting to suffer from the stress. As our kingdom wobbles between light and dark, the life I've been building begins to crumble.

I let my temper get the best of me. Now we have less to work with and a much larger puzzle to solve. I wiped out our best lead and shook the foundation of my new rule, all in one shanking. Double crap. My Darkblood subjects no longer trust me, and we're being sucked into the biggest scavenger hunt of the two worlds. Even if the leprechaun's curse was never real, something more sinister was locked inside that gold coin: doubt.
