If life really was a fairy tale, Zakara would never be the damsel in distress. She'd be a thief, and Prince Charming wouldn't have a clue how to steal the heart of the conniving criminal. Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth: Magic. Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society.

I can only run from my past for so long. Eventually my Demons always find me. Unfortunately, that Demon has hired three insufferable dragon shifters to bring me back to him. I just have to hide my secrets a little longer. I just have to pretend to help these a-----es find the person they're looking for without letting them know the truth. They're on the hunt for a dangerous Mage. Just wait until they find out the Mage they're hunting is actually me....

War is hell. A war built from reckless fae magic is total annihilation. Even the gods are turning their backs on the dwindling race of mortals. But Kara and her friends refuse to let the world crumble without a fight. An unlikely friend offers them one thing. The mysterious gift might be their last hope. There will be destruction. There will be bloodshed. There will be death. Kara must decide what she's willing to lose to save the ones she loves.

The fae world isn't fueled by magic. It's fueled by fear. The Hopeless realm isn't at all what Zakara expected it to be. And neither is she. The powers of the Eminence are hard to harness, and she needs them now more than ever. Survival of the human world suddenly depends on her. But more dangers lurk in the realm than they realize.

What's more powerful than magic? Revenge. King Tristan wasn't prepared for a prisoner quite like Zakara Storm. The three beautiful fae men led her to her imprisonment, and it's hard to see who is a friend and who is a foe in the dangerous and destructive kingdom. A savior is all the humans want. Freedom is what the fae seek. Survival is all Zakara knows. She'll survive, even if she has to watch the whole world burn to ash. Contains mature themes.

I've gotten myself into one last incident. One final mistake that may cost me everything, including my life. By using dark, manipulating magic the Solstice Queen wants to reign over the two Kingdoms and give power back to mages once and for all. I'll stand by her side. I'll smile and wave and say all the right things. All while turning the last remaining mages against her. Because when it all ends, the beloved Solstice Queen won't walk away from the war she started. Unless I die trying.

The beautiful coastal village is too small and it's impossible to hide when you're a target. They know I'm different. They knew when I was a young girl and they know now. They're just waiting for the proof. They're all waiting for me to screw up like I always do. What they don't know is, I'm not staying. I'll take my scowling shifters - hopefully before they literally rip into one of the many hateful villagers - and I'll find the Solstice Queen. I'll find that mysteriously dangerous mage again if it's the last thing I do.

I'm coming after Kreedence. I want him to know what it feels like to live in fear. Just as I did for so many years. Three dragon shifters and a hellhound should be more than enough help. And yet, I'm seeking out allies in all the wrong places: a prince with resources, a deadly king with power, and a mysterious queen who died decades ago. New secrets will come to light. They'll destroy everything I thought I knew about myself and the world around me. Our secrets will always haunt us. Or hunt us.
