It’s a secret lost in time, a myth among immortals, a relic of such power that vampires around the world have quietly harbored the hope that it doesn’t really exist. It’s a mystery that Tenzin and Ben cannot resist. But to obtain the Bone Scroll, they’ll need leverage over the most powerful and mercurial vampire in the known world. Saba, oldest of immortals and mother of the vampire race, has returned to her homeland in the highlands of Ethiopia, searching for the scroll with a cadre of elders.

Four nights. Three days. The human son of two powerful vampires has been taken from his home, and if Carwyn and Brigid can’t find him, the delicate balance of power in an immortal haven might just go up in flames.

The Blue Dagger Society saved the city of Tristholm from Vitaria's minions and defeated the evil under the mountain. Keeping the Etheric Coast free of Vitaria's influence was going to take more aggressive measures than pounding a hammer into some steel. It was time to throw down with a goddess. Knowing they had their own goddess standing right behind them made Tim feel more optimistic about their chances. Eternia's influence was growing with each one of their victories. With the Goddess of Light standing behind them, how could they lose?

Driving a truck full of rotting vegetables and 20 million in gold from Kashgar to Shanghai, was only the start. If Ben can keep the treasure away from grasping immortals, the reward will be more than worth the effort. But when has travel with a 5,000-year-old wind vampire ever been simple?

For over a thousand years, the legendary sword Laylat al Hisab - the Night's Reckoning - has been lost in the waters of the East China Sea. Forged as a peace offering between two ancient vampires, the sword has eluded treasure hunters, human and immortal alike. But in time, even the deep gives up its secrets. When Tenzin's sire hears about the ninth century shipwreck found off the coast of southern China, Zhang Guo realizes he'll need the help of an upstart pirate from Shanghai to retrieve it.

Some people just knew how to go out in style. Tim had never been one of those guys. Tim was always a planner. The plan was to get into college, graduate, and find a well-paying job. That plan was coming together nicely until he saw a presentation to get paid to play The Etheric Coast. At his graduation ceremony. After watching the company's employee recruitment video, Big Richie's words had a whole new meaning. He could spend his life going from a cubicle at work to a one-bedroom apartment and back again...or enter a virtual world of unlimited possibilities.

Does the Blue Dagger Society really want to go into this line of work? Their next quest would be decided over a heaping double stack of Joe's famous buttermilk pancakes. Doesn't everything work better with pancakes? King Rasmus has something Eternia needs. The Blue Dagger Society needs the experience. It was settled. They were about to embark on another epic adventure.

Chloe Reardon has a problem, and his name is Gavin Wallace. Okay, Gavin isn’t exactly a problem, unless you consider a highly attractive wind vampire with dubious intentions a problem. Especially if that vampire is your boss. With an affinity for kilts and excellent taste in music. But none of that matters, because Chloe Reardon has had enough of dangerous men. Danger is overrated. Danger is the opposite of sexy. So Gavin is the last man - or vampire - on Earth she needs to let into her heart.

It’s not just any holiday season in the immortal world. Elder Zhang’s oldest servant is reaching the century mark and Ben and Tenzin are ready to celebrate, but no sooner do they land on Penglai Island than a mystery falls in their path. A valuable seal has gone missing, and the artifact was a gift from an ancient vampire who just happens to be heading to Penglai for a long-overdue formal visit.

Tim's plan didn't include going toe to toe with one of the most powerful men in Promethia, but he had, and he won. Wasn't winning supposed to make things easier? Instead of getting to live on easy street, Tim's victory only increased his reputation as a man who could solve problems. This time those problems had teeth. Thankfully Tim hit level 10, and once he settled on his upgraded class their newest adventure could began in earnest.

Brigid Connor is a vampire familiar with ghosts. The ghosts of her past, the ghosts of her victims, and the ghosts of those she couldn’t save. Now in the wilds of America’s frontier, she’ll face a specter who has haunted her steps, a fire vampire with a connection to Brigid’s mate, her clan, and those she holds most dear. Tenzin is an immortal who has lived a hundred lives. She’s been a daughter, a sister, a villain, and a hero. With every millennium, she has evolved, cutting ties with the past and moving forward with relentless focus, a survivor among the fiercest predators in history.

I always thought the end of the world was a myth. But then, I also thought Norse gods were make-believe too. They're not. Five of them are coming for me. They claim I will only survive if I surrender to them, body and soul. But they don't realize it's about so much more than carnal servitude. I am so much more than they could ever suspect. So much more than even I knew. I am the only one who can stop Ragnarök from covering the world in ice and darkness. The only one who can save gods and men alike from annihilation.

Giovanni and Beatrice left vampire conspiracies and supernatural adventures for a peaceful family life. But peace only lasts so long for a vampire assassin and an undying scribe. The death of an old friend leaves Giovanni with a rare opportunity. He knows that Lady Penelope's library hides more than one rare book, but can he break into her family's ancestral home without raising alarms?

He was meant to be her lover, but he would rather see the Omega dead than surrender to Fate's snare. No one escapes the Realm of Death, but if Annabel doesn't find a way out, her mates will die along with her, and Ragnarök will leave nothing behind but darkness and ashes. Her only hope is to win the heart of the god who killed her. But even if she can trick her way into his icy soul, can she ever love a man whose hatred for her reaches back to the moment of her birth?

Ragnarök is here. The end of the world is eating away at Asgard as well as the human world until there is nothing left but ice and darkness. I'm supposed to stop it - it's my literal fate, thanks to a meddling Norn and an MIA prophet. Me, and the five alpha gods destined to claim me as theirs.

Several times a week, Charlotte Jones leaves suburbia behind and boards a chartered flight to parts unknown, where she wraps her hands around the necks of marks for just as long as she has to. Then she goes back to domestic life with a paycheck, defense wounds, and the sense that she can handle anything. Which is good, because being a wife, mother, and sociopath, with an insatiable taste for murder, gives the term work-life balance new meaning.

Dylan almost can't believe what he sees. The only werewolves that dare cross into the Master's territory are those with a death wish and teens participating in their rite of passage. The Master made his feelings clear. Phoenix is his city, and he doesn't want to share. Krista has plans of her own. She's tired of working for the royals and wants to branch out. Every investor knows that start-ups are risky, but one of hers has finally come to fruition. The Prince will be lost without her, but it's time to stop being a lackey and take control of her life.

Blowing up the Master's penthouse was one of the coolest moments of Dylan's life. Unfortunately, it turns out that being an action movie hero comes with a price. They have to kill the Master, or Dyani and her band of werewolves will descend upon Phoenix and do it for them. What they don't have is a lot of time. Seven days and the clock is ticking. The Templars have always stood for one thing. They fight against the darkness. Even if it comes wrapped in a cute little package that his daughter is interested in.

Dylan McCormick is an average 18-year-old kid who graduated high school with his friends. The plus side of working at the family sandwich shop instead of going straight to university is he skipped gaining the freshman 15. The downside is no woman likes hearing, "Keep it down, my parents are upstairs...." A small indignity in exchange for free rent and a job that pays above minimum wage.

I’m sleeping with someone who doesn’t recognize me from our past. And who also doesn’t know I’m having his baby in the future. I’ve been crushing on Nick since high school. Back then, he was the popular jock and I was his nerdy tutor. Now he’s a star athlete and I run into him again on campus. He loves my curvy, hourglass figure. But he doesn’t even know I’m the same girl. One thing leads to another, and I find myself in his arms. And in his bed. And he finds himself in my panties. Then I find myself pregnant, with his baby.
