Desperate to escape her abusive stepbrother, Blaire accepts a scholarship to the exclusive private university, Blackthorn Academy. Surrounded by Vasirian—the root of vampire myth—Blaire fears she has traded one cage for another. She is marked as a Korrena, the fated mate of a Vasirian. While she is attracted to the mysterious Lukas, whose gruff exterior hides a lonely heart, the expected ritual for the bond repels her. No one can guarantee her safety; a match between a Vasirian and a human is unprecedented.

Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

Nico has his own motivations for their union beyond maintaining peace with her family.

If Milla can fulfill her end of the bargain, she'll walk away with more freedom than she's ever had before.

Nicolai Attano finally has everything he's ever wanted: control over the Iron Saint Railway, safety for his family, and not a single rival syndicate to stand in his way. Never could he have imagined he'd want anything more than power—not until Camilla Marchese. Six weeks have passed since the disaster on the train and his wife was kidnapped. To get her back, he'll need help. Nico struggles to work with a city poisoned against him and is instead forced to seek the aid of a disreputable black-market dealer.

As the royal physician of a tiny, windswept island, eighteen-year-old Isabel spends her days trying to keep the queen from dying and the mad king from streaking naked down the halls. But when her best friend is found murdered on the beaches, her world is ripped apart. Desperate for answers, she discovers a stash of letters that reveal a terrifying truth: the neighboring kingdom of Volgaard possesses a kingdom-shattering weapon and is poised to conquer everything in its path.

Champions are fated. Not even the gods can interfere. Once a name has been given, it can’t be taken back. Criminals are given two choices: life service, and condemn their descendants to the same fate, or die. Born into servitude, the only ones Ambrose hates more than the royals are the gods themselves. Forced to train in secret, she’s a shadow among the warriors that are the pride of the empire—brutal fighters that gather every five years from all over the continent for a deadly competition that could earn them their place in the kingdom of the gods.

The Campbell brothers are circling, and I'll need every ounce of fire—and help from Lila, Cam, and Hamish—to protect what matters most.

When Blaire withdraws from the academy without a word to anyone, her friends pull together to reunite the two people everyone believes are destined to be together.

She has no idea who I am. But when her fingers grazed my scar, she didn't flinch at the beast beneath. She's the girl I was born to destroy—the only one who ever looked at me like I was worth saving. The woman who died for me…ten years later. Our surnames split this city for a century. Romeo and Juliet? Only we're not dying for love—we're killing for it. And our story didn't end in death. It started there. I should've stayed away. Instead, I let the devil whisper, "Don't die"—and smiled as I lit the match.

Emmi Castor thought she escaped the dangers of dealing with the fae when she sacrificed her magic to build a new witch bottle, one designed to both protect magical beings and witches like her. She struck a bargain with an ancient fae king to get her grandfather back and hopefully return to normal life, but she forgot....

She's everything I hate in this world. Ruthless. Cold. A stone-hearted villain. And she'll do whatever it takes to keep me in line.

But fate has other plans, and a surprise visit leaves me reeling, setting in motion a chain of events that I'm helpless to stop.

When the fae King of Storms and Feathers purchases me, I vow to escape his palace of dust and gold, reclaim my memories, and return to the home that haunts my visions—a city of ruins in the decaying forests of the human realm. In the meantime, I’ll pretend to be what King Arrowyn wants—an obedient green-eyed bird, chained and powerless, his for the taunting and taking. But when I escape and fall into viler clutches, Arrow hunts me down, determined to retrieve his disobedient, most valued possession.

A land where witches wear their spells like tattoos is no place for a woman without a single magical mark—except for Raven, whose unblemished skin contradicts the truth of her power. Surviving under the scowls of her fellow witches has carved indelible scars into her mind over the years—just as the day she watched the Dark King's men murder her grandmother in cold blood. But the Dark King's reign of terror is far-reaching, and Raven's grandmother won't be the last witch to die under his rule.

This Fae prince is going to be the death of me. He's a spoiled party boy whose only skills are flirting and—well, you know. There's a reason his "special" piercings are infamous... Not that I care. I refuse to get involved with that arrogant bastard. Especially since the shadow monster he barely keeps contained will kill us both if given the chance. But when he's assigned to the most important mission of my career, I can't afford to walk away.
