Ever since my father died and my sister left, I've been trapped in a life of drudgery with a stepfamily as wicked as the storybooks say. Life after the apocalypse offers few choices, and I only have three. I can stay and be miserable. I can die in the wilderness. Or I can marry him. Mason is the closest thing this village has to a prince. He's odd and antisocial and doesn't say a lot, but he's got a good home and a dependable income. Plus, he treats me better than my stepfamily.

Half-fae Evelyn Knowles is hiding a big secret: her shifter form. Abandoned by her fae father, she has no one to teach her about the change. She's a little concerned when she determines the animal she turns into is—well—mythical. As one of the library's most sought-after researchers, Evelyn knows how to find answers. Before she can, her boss nominates her to investigate a centuries-old magical bond. Whoever solves this problem will be promoted to the top research position in the fae court. The position is a desire she'd never voiced—a dream she thought out of reach.

There's just one massive problem. The library's grumpy gargoyle guardian is having none of it.

Last year, Nick's stepbrother discovered a tear in the universe linking Ireland to a world of monsters, magic, and mayhem. Now those monsters are slipping through, and Nick's family seems determined to befriend every last one of them, conveniently ignoring the claws, fangs, and whip-like tails. Desperate to keep his family safe, Nick reluctantly attends a party in this other world…only to land himself in an ocean of trouble. Mistaken for a powerful witch, he's abducted in the dead of night by the deadly Kit, an unnervingly quiet creature with secrets of his own.

Emily never meant to time-travel—again. But one misfired spell, fueled by frustration and longing for a life that no longer feels whole, flings her straight into an alternate 18th-century Scotland where magic thrives, myths walk the land, and the country she thought she knew has become the ruling power of a very different world. In this enchanted realm, Emily discovers more than magic—she discovers him.

Calliape, driven by the desire to forge her own path after her fate was altered, seizes an opportunity to leave her home planet.

And when the spell goes horribly wrong, freeing an old god into their world, she must do whatever she can to stop the chaos she conjured. But as Calliape invokes a plan to right her mistakes, an ancient voice, unheard since leaving her planet, calls out to her again, stirring her restless spirit and reminding her of a destiny she has longed for.

The end has come. The stars cry out in warning as the world eaters approach, and tensions rise as chaos reigns across every realm. Ancient primordial gods drain magic from weaker beings, and war knocks on the door of every kingdom. But no one could have predicted the key to ending it all… me. I realize now that I was never meant to be an ordinary, simple witch. Forged by prophecy and a heritage crafted by the gods, I was born to face the end—the point of no return. Now, as cosmic forces threaten to rip our world apart, we stand at the heart of it.

After growing up with a mum who had a revolving door of boyfriends, she's learned that love is messy and guaranteed to ruin your life. So when a quick, flirty trip to the hardware store turns into a supernatural ambush of pheromones, fate, and three sinfully attractive shifters claiming she's their fated mate, Harper does what any gun-shy woman would do. She runs. But the bond won't let her forget them.

After being attacked by demons, I never expected to discover that the man I'd been seeing was the Crown Prince of the Demon Realm. When he proposes we marry to keep me safe, I agree, not realizing I would be so much more than just his wife. I would be his Queen, one the Fates foretold would sit by his side.

What if we were something... more?

When Ihsan sees a chance to gain an ally with the only productive land left in Tamar for his cousin, the Sultana, he takes it. But nothing is as it seems when Behram Kadir is involved.

Jannus the Halfling is everything a Nephilim shouldn't be—golden-haired, charming, and a collector of feminine smiles. As the last living descendant of the only pure Nephilim Pair, he's powerful enough to claim the empty throne. Instead, he crosses into Fetch lands to bring Melek back to seize the crown.

Descendant of Chaos. Daughter of Magic. Two titles that I had been called time and time again, but neither of them truly fit. As I had found in the God realm, I was so much more than that—an anomaly. And because of who I was and how I came to be, I was now part of a prophecy—one with world-ending aspects I wasn't a fan of. Unfortunately, I couldn't avoid the situation forever, and while the Horde was an amazing place to do exactly that… I quickly found there was something so much larger at stake than my pride or my anger at what Isis and my birthmother had done.

All I want is to save the library. But a greedy heiress and a grumpy dragon lawyer complicate everything. Especially when that dragon lawyer insists I'm his fated mate.

I break one before orientation even begins. Can you guess which one? When I arrive at the unforgiving fae city with the snowy mountains looming over it, I have two goals: 1. Join the legendary Order of ancient soldiers. 2. Climb the ranks and gain the power I need to avenge my family's murder. But before I can join the Order, I must survive six months of ruthless training. Failure means exile… or death.

Hope can be a dangerous thing. It can be all-consuming. Can be the only thing you think about. The only comfort you have is when locked in the darkness of your own mind. The hope to find light at the end of the tunnel. A guiding hand to lead you out of the nightmare. But what of love? For Ella, it is the thing she clings to when all that hope is lost. A love that is always worth fighting for. Even if it means losing everything. Because love is worth the sacrifice for… A HellBeast's Queen.

My father always told me I was too impetuous, but when I see a chance to escape my horrible life—being forced to work on my back for the tavern-keeper who owns my brother's debt—I take it. And some valuables on the way out. Is it any wonder I'm chased into the snowstorm… and right into the single arm of a seven-foot-tall, wounded, and grumpy recluse?
