About this listen
Guardian of the stars, slayer of the wicked, and commander of internal darkness . . .
Adeena Devna finds herself the lone survivor of Astrari after a massacre was orchestrated by King Demir, fae ruler of Tartarus. Abducted by the Royal Guard, Adeena is brought to King Demir as a potential human bride. An attack within the castle leaves the king dead at the hands of Adeena. Her escape from the kingdom is unexpectedly aided by Dreyden, the formidable yet handsome High Lord of Fire Court.
Ancient gold stars mark Adeena's skin, a rare genetic mutation passed through villagers of Astrari. The dormant stars ignite as guarded feelings for Dreyden combust into blazing passion. A connection from Dreyden’s past steps forward with critical information regarding Adeena's ancestors.
Wicked trouble brews in the night sky as Adeena explores her destiny. All fingers point to the newly crowned king of Tartarus, Erebus. Adeena and Dreyden must return to Tartarus to fulfill a prophecy of the stars and stop King Erebus or risk losing the Gods forever, allowing eternal night to take reign.
Contains mature themes.

The last time Esther Wilding's beloved older sister Aura was seen, she was walking along the shore towards the sea.

Story
After some rough tours during the Drone Wars, Reggie finds himself visiting a best friend's mausoleum. As he's paying his respects, a visitor from a land of myth and magic offers him a chance to bring Gary back—but there's a catch. He'll become a named character who's capable of magic, destined to lead a small army, and tasked with the unimaginable feat of winning a losing war one fight at a time. The battles will be just as savage as the realm is, but if he commands his troops as a cunning and capable general, he'll unlock the unimaginable.

Story
For a hundred and fifty years, Ezekiel Zane knew nothing but war—endless war in the name of the Fates, the Fae, and anyone who would hire him. Yet the glory of leading the most elite team of magical mercenaries in existence cost him the only thing he ever loved. He’s done. Retired to a community of renegade fae, street-racing shifters, and fallen celestials, Zane’s quiet life on the beach comes with challenges no greater than finding a reason to get out of bed in the morning and knowing when to call it a night at the bar down the street.
