When I left my captor behind and went home to prepare for my wedding, I was sure about a lot of things: I was never going to see Lucien Di Laurier again until he came to kill me in two years. I was never going to learn more about the reign of dragons, how it started, what it means. I was never going to change my mind about who my father is... who my mother was. And I was dead wrong about all of it. Pretty engagement dresses, fancy gifts, and parties do not change the truth about my life. I am a prisoner still, in my own home, in my own skin.

Fresh off a breakup and an eviction, I started my day like any other: a book in one hand, a coffee in the other, and faking that can-do attitude inspirational memes are made of. I was ready to take on the world — and I did. Unfortunately, it was the Underworld. One freak accident later, I’m standing face-to-face with the sexy-as-sin and dangerously powerful Prince of the Underworld. He has a few burning questions for me — like how a mere human unlocked the door to the Underworld’s prison and released its prisoners.

I vowed to avenge my parents, readying myself year after year. And now, I'm going to die. I should have heeded my father's warning when I stumbled upon the Fae warrior, but I froze. I remember every horror tale recounting the atrocities committed by these monsters, abducting, torturing, and exploiting humans. My survival instinct was screaming loud inside, yet I couldn't move. His strange crimson gaze fell on me as I contemplated his large double-bladed sword and my last moments on this earth.

For the Lovely, there are two defining days in life, three if they’re fortunate. The first is at birth, when the one with whom they shared a womb forever joins the dead. The second is in their sixth year, when they touch their first stone and connect with the Realm. Olean knows this all too well, having accessed the Realm for years, reading people, seeing and feeling their thoughts and actions as if they were her own. Now that she’s of age and possesses a higher stone ability, her third defining day has come—a chance to join the prestigious Queen’s Garden.

For a fleeting moment, I had magic. Powerful magic. But the Dark Prince’s enemy stole it from me, making them the most powerful being in the world. Their primary goal is to destroy everything close to the Dark Prince, and that includes me. With the threat of a magicless world, the prince’s life in danger, my loved ones at risk, and the impending destruction of the underworld, we’re in for a hell of a fight.

When we summoned the Ether, we thought we were saving the world. We thought we were ending the reign of dragons, freeing the people of power-hungry Azarius kings and queens once and for all. Turns out, none of us had any idea what the reign of dragons truly meant.

My family has played god with shifters for over eight centuries. They've conquered in silence, have gathered and saved power for themselves, failing their people. No more. The draca live. All four of us are alive, on the same timeline, and we have what it takes to summon the Ether and bring back the balance of elements in our world. Give the people back their magic. Put a stop to the Azarius reign.

My guilt and his misconceptions made it so much harder. When he delivers my twins—our twins—that one icy night seems to seal our fate forever. I once drew hearts around his name. We pushed the boundaries of our fine lines, but he was my brother's best friend—off-limits and out of reach. Years later, the story hasn't changed. Derek is an OB-GYN at my new hospital, as sexy and self-assured as ever. Our stolen moments aren't just a PR nightmare. My heart isn't the only one I need to protect. And I refuse to be a pawn in a lovers' game.

Augustus Labienus Triarius has finally gained his own ship amongst his family’s pirate fleet. The man with one blue eye, one brown is ready for the war against an old foe. But he’s inexplicably drawn to the kingdom of Perean, called by visions of the woman with one brown eye and one blue. Selene Marinea has grown accustomed to life as Princess Alexandra’s handmaiden and whipping dog.

"Everyone is bound to their fate." As heir to the Countship of the Riverlands, Suna had always known what her fate entailed. A life she does not want, a marriage she did not choose, and unquestioning loyalty to the Eternal Empire. She’s given everything she could need, yet not the one thing she wants. Freedom.

He's a single dad. I'm his daughter's teacher. Fate brought us together, but my job is keeping us apart. When I met Jacob three months ago, he left a lasting impression on me. In fact, I haven't stopped thinking about him since. Knowing nothing but his first name, I assumed I'd never see him again. Imagine my surprise when I walk into my new job as a literature instructor for the best private school in America and … there he is, tall and imposing.

Before a prophecy swept him across the seas, Oskar Dahlin was a mortal among corrupt rulers. He lived with one mandate: protect the innocent. Be their sword, and if necessary, their vengeance. He was a Blade of the Assassin’s Guild, trained in body and mind. What the royals did behind their high walls was not his concern unless and until their actions spilled into his streets. Or a young queen steals his heart.

Delaney McPhearson has been made a public pariah. She barely escaped with her life from Colorado when law enforcement agents moved in. And she cannot take credit for that escape. No, that credit belongs to one man, Drake—Las Vegas entertainer, sabbatical-taking archangel, and consummate egoist. Drake's help, though, is not without strings. He has an agenda, too. He knows for Laney to move forward, she must first delve into her past—she must remember her life as Helen of Troy.
