Lera was once human. Now, with dark magic leaking into the mortal world, Lera and her four fae warriors must protect her home realm - even if that means going undercover to a human military academy. But when a sudden, terrible accident melds the males with their human disguise, everything changes. Now it’s up to Lera to make her mates remember themselves, their mission, and her, before the entire mortal world pays the price.

I'd dance on a razor's edge for my mates, but the Fae kings are no longer mine. They belong to the usurper queen, bound by her black magic. Rydstrom and Baron have forgotten what I once meant to them. The Winter King, however, remembers me, but he's embraced the dark side. The world isn't big enough for all of us - it's either me or the kings. So, I'll lure them to Hell's inferno to finish what they started in the Wild Hunt - to hunt down their mate to the bitter end. Love is a battle, and I'll allow no one to take my mates from me.

The Dawn Queen thinks she can steal my mates. I thought the bond between us would never break, but then she bewitches them into forgetting who I am and what I mean to them. At the queen's command, they hunt me like a wild beast. To survive, I must become more merciless than any of them, no matter how much my heart bleeds when I hurt them or how badly my body craves theirs. When even my forbidden magic can't bring them back, I have to make a terrible choice.

"I'll ravish you for hours. Days. I won't ever stop." That's the Fae Kings' ritual of claiming. Sorry I asked. The three Fae kings insist I'm their fated mate, and they're terrible at sharing. I know I should turn my back on them before they ruin me. They're too ruthless, feral, possessive, and well, too hot for me to feel safe. A girl would have a better chance of swimming with sharks than walking among the predatory Fae, let alone tangling with them between the sheets.

Having embraced her deepest fantasies in an all-or-nothing game with Todd, Allison struggles to regain her composure when he leaves her heartbroken and alone. She’s determined to play the hand she was dealt, which means holding her head high and keeping up appearances for the sake of her family’s expectations. As she gets back in the game with Roger and moves in with her friend Diana, her painful past slowly becomes manageable. Asserting her independence certainly helps. But dating someone who would have been perfect for the old Allison just isn’t her idea of moving on.

On a mission to take down a demon, she’s horrified when her misfired spell destroys the town’s defense against more of the incoming monsters.

It’s the first day of the Prowess Trials, with all the royals - and the dark fae Owalin - gathered for Tye’s grand performance.

Tye has sacrificed everything for his chance at the Prowess Trials, and Lera’s betrayal in reporting his injuries nearly ended it all.

I’m engaged to a stranger, a man - dragon. If I don’t marry him, I’m as good as dead. I’ve been hiding all my life. Unlike the rest of my once powerful family, I have no magic. The immortal monster that ate them all, still hunts me. And my grandmother thinks that the only way to save me from the monster is to marry me to another monster: a dragon. I know what he truly wants: access to my family’s power. I don’t play those games. It’s better to run from a monster, than to marry one. I’m no dragon’s treasure. Even if my heart wishes otherwise.

A painful distraction, since the mouthy cadet stirs his soul - and other parts of him - with a mere glance. Which doesn’t matter. Lera is a student and River will ensure she toes the line, or else.

Agent Knight looked up at the garden wall. It was easily eight feet tall or more. “The...abductor threw your sister on its shoulder and leaped over the wall?” “Not over it,” Eden said, her brow furrowed as she recalled the horrifying event. “To the top of it. A wall this tall is also deep. It's about four feet thick.
