In a world where magic means power, a "small" gift is a curse. Thea was not blessed with power. Her gift of devouring plants and absorbing their hidden abilities does not make her stand out among her peers. Until a young man from the other side of the river sees something in her that no one else has seen before. When his family mercilessly strikes at her pride, he makes a point to ease the sting.

I’m Cora, a witch who escaped my enemies, the mages, to start a new life as a medium. I swore off both men and book boyfriends, especially Merlin. Except, my best friend and vampire librarian persuades me to help her run her book club for werewolves, dragons, and fae in the magical English village of Witch Hollow. When the library grimoire casts a curse, we can only find our true love from within our book of the month. I don’t believe in true love, so I choose my book as a joke.

My plans for revenge due to the death of someone close keeps getting derailed as I navigate my estranged relationship with my werejackal boyfriend and defend a friend arrested for murder.

The loser will have to give up his or her freedom to the winner, and being that Phillip is a cruel and ruthless egomaniac, I can’t afford to lose.

My transition into a supernatural creature was the only reason I survived the apocalypse. I thought that was the worst I’d ever have to endure, but I was definitely wrong. With half the human population wiped out and a majority of the survivors developing a power of their own, the non-gifted humans aren’t happy with their station in life. My brother and I have to go on the run from humans who want to steal our magical blood for a power-inducing serum.

I'm Kami: tool spirit, former villain, and wannabe good guy. I have a human body now, which helps me understand why my mate Jack sacrifices himself for those he loves, taking the evil spirit Ambrose into his flesh so I can lead him away at gunpoint. I understand, but I'm ill-equipped to deal with the aftermath, especially once Ambrose turns the tables and captures me. To make matters worse, someone is trying to harm young shifters and Ambrose is tapped to hunt the culprit. My captor's greedy grin suggests he's actually more interested in partaking of the spoils himself.

I’m a human healer who’s trapped in the underworld by a rebel cult. After I see the sinfully sexy Demon of Earth being wounded in battle, I defy my captors to break the spell that’s sent the prince into a deep sleep. He’s…gorgeous. But he’s also a dark sorcerer and a winged panther shifter.

For three long months, Dawn awaits her fate while rotting in a dungeon. But when a stroke of luck finally springs her free, her punishment is far from over. Five of the six Stones of Amaria have been activated. Only the onyx remains. Someone is determined to help Ryze return so he can rule Amaria with a crushing fist—but Dawn still doesn’t know who.

To live in the human world, Fae must adhere to a certain code. If they don't, they die - and it's up to my people, the Order of Assassins, to carry out the sentence. Fae aren't the only ones held to these standards. Assassins are, too. Why? Humans are dangerous, especially when they don't understand something, and there are more of them than there are of us. I've spent my life following the rules - until I didn't. Now, I'm the one being hunted. It's strange being the prey, and even though I hate to admit it, I find myself seeking help from men fate deems are my Bonded.

We thought we’d prepared for the fight. We were wrong. Everything I was told about the first soul mates could never prepare me for their actual arrival. More powerful than we could prepare for, the first soul mates control the minds of our closest allies, leaving The Six and my soul mate without any option but to surrender to their murderous ways. When suicides and disappearances go on the rise in our community, I know the first soul mates are behind it, and when I discover the reason, it’s more nightmarish than I could have imagined.

There are some sights you can never unsee. Visions of my brother, my chosen mate, and my friends meeting their individual gruesome ends? That is something that will stay with me forever. The Originals made me experience the faux tragedies, and their message is clear - do things our way or they all die. The problem is that doing things their way could lead to the genocide of all non-gifted humans and suppression of all paranormals. That’s just not something my group and I can accept. Even if it puts our lives at risk, we have to fight for the future - our own and the humans.

After falling into mage’s oblivion, Dawn wakes to a nightmare. All of Amaria’s magic is out of balance from Ryze’s return, and at Necromancer Academy, unruly magic could mean death. That’s one constant Dawn is prepared for, though. What she isn’t prepared for is how far Ryze’s minions will go to protect The Staff of Sullivan. It’s hidden in the academy’s catacombs, and it must be important. But how? With the skin-walker thwarting her every step, Dawn must find the staff and stop the skin-walker once and for all. Unless it stops her first.

With Ryze fighting to keep his power over Amaria, it’s the perfect time for Dawn to strike. The plan is to take back what he stole—The Staff of Sullivan. It’s mysterious. It’s important. With the help of her friends and family, Dawn is determined to find out how…if she can steal it back.
