Del Bellator has screwed up. Big time. She's failed to defeat her enemies, the Shadows, and has been forced to open a portal between hell and Earth. Now, demons are flowing onto Earth as fast as lava down a volcano. And the effects are going to be just as deadly. With the help of her friends and her boyfriend, the powerful Warden of the Underworld, Del must find the portal and close it. Thousands of demons are now on earth and Del has to figure out how to get rid of them and her enemies, the Shadows - without ending up dead.

With the Shadows from her past hot on her tail, Del Bellator is committed to growing her magic. That means hunting demons and stealing their powers, a job that's as risky as dancing with the devil. But she'll need all the power she can get if she wants to defeat the Shadows, so she's willing to take the risk. While out on a demon hunt, she spots her boyfriend Roarke's long-lost brother. He's the only person who could tell her what the Shadows are up to. But only if only she can catch him.

Del Bellator's simple life of treasure hunting and demon slaying ended the moment she learned she was a Guardian between the Underworld and Earth. The only problem? She has no idea what that means and no control over the magic that could help her. Sure, she can turn into a Phantom and walk through walls, but in a world where demons can throw fireballs or strike her down with lightning, she needs control of some bigger magical weapons.

Against all odds, I’ve rescued my friends from the evil Roman Fates. We should all be celebrating, but there’s a big problem. Every single one of them has been tattooed with a curse that will make them slaves to an ancient evil if they step outside the castle grounds. Because I’m the Druid dragon god, I’m linked to the Fates. Only I can save my friends and take out the enemy once and for all. But when a spell goes wrong, I end up with the same cursed tattoo. I’ve got less than a week before crap hits the fan and I become a slave as well.

March 1294. Ireland is at a crossroads. The different factions - Irish, Danish, and English - are tearing the country apart with their constant warfare. Hoping to hammer out a treaty, David calls the Irish Parliament into session. Unfortunately, some lords are far more interested in fighting than talking, and it isn't long before the conference goes awry. With the future of Ireland at stake, David finds himself caught up in a far-reaching conspiracy that puts not only his own life on the line, but his family's as well.

Life is full of good and bad. Good - I've rescued my sister. Bad? - We're being hunted by the Rebel Gods, powerful beings who are determined to kill us - and cause the end of days. So yeah, that's real bad....

Finally, I know what I am. A DragonGod. I’ve been gifted with the magic of the Viking gods. Except my new powers are devouring each other. If I don’t fix this soon, I’ll have no magic left - and no magic means no soul. To save myself, I must go on a quest through the realms of the Viking gods. It’ll be the most dangerous adventure of my life, taking me past monsters and deadly worlds. Fortunately, the Celtic war god, Cade, is at my side, along with my friends and allies.

At a glance, life is perfect for Del Bellator. She's getting the hang of her magic, the shop she runs with her friends is thriving, and she has a hot almost-boyfriend in the form of were-demon Roarke Fallon. But nothing is ever as it seems.

My friends are all gone, captives in some unknown place, and my home is being threatened. It’s up to me and my sisters, along with the powerful shifter mage Lachlan, to save them.

With David and Llywelyn in Ireland, the rule of Wales and England has fallen to Math and Anna. Unbeknownst to them, however, rebellious barons have tried to assassinate David and thrown Ireland into civil war.

Wyn thought everything would be unicorns and rainbows once she reached her mother's palace. The last things she expected were assassination attempts, the Summer King readying for war, and, worst of all, frilly dresses. But all of that is pushed to the side when one of her Guardians needs her help. They're hers. And she'll protect them while keeping her vow to protect the Realm. No matter the cost.

For five long years, I’ve wanted just one thing - to find my sister Rowan. Her disappearance tore a hole in my life. Now I’ve found her - but she’s a captive of the same Rebel Gods who hunt me. They’ve enchanted her to follow their every whim, which will make rescuing her nearly impossible. But I’ll do anything it takes, including infiltrating an ancient Celtic war camp. I’ll even join the death fights in their arena.

I'm stuck with Reilly and figuring out how to control my power, which is starting to feel more like a curse. I never expected to be working with JHAPI. I'm still not sure I can trust them, particularly Zachary's longtime co-worker who won't stop glaring at me. And I'm not sure Zachary has forgiven me at all. To make matters worse, I can't get rid of the welts on my arms, and I'm starting to see things I shouldn't. Despite my reservations about JHAPI, they seem to have a solid plan to hit the NWR in a way could shut them down for good.
