When Evie and her friends set out to fulfill a long-awaited prophecy, they never thought their adventure would turn into a nightmare before their very eyes. Trapped in a cavern beneath the ground, they find themselves going up against a creature so twisted and terrible, they wouldn't have believed it was real. Their strength is tested, and friendships are strained. But, as they soon discover, the creature was the least of their problems.

Hollie is trapped between formidable forces who want to use them in their sibling war for power. Only by deepening the bond with the dashing vamp who wants to claim her as his mate can she hope to escape. But the vamp can't do it alone. She needs all of her Fae friends to survive. The only problem is: Fae and vampire are mortal enemies. If she can't win the battle between friends, there's no way she'll win the war against worse.

Phaedra's worst fear has been confirmed: She's a vampire's mate. But just because he needs her doesn't mean she needs or wants him, right? Then why can't she stop worrying about Syn and whatever he's up to with her sister? She should feel betrayed, but being able to sense the vampire's emotions make her doubt everything she thought she knew. Still, there are bigger worries to consider—like how to escape a self-obsessed sorcerer, or to come to terms with her long-lost sister being a creature of evil. Some things you can't change, a fact Phaedra had long accepted as true.

Who knew chasing immortality would be so hard? To keep her human friend from being turned by her overzealous vampire mate, Phaedra has to find an artifact that grants its owner eternity. But her former partner turned leech insists on inserting himself into the search, and he's got a surprise for her: She's his mate. There's no way this Fae warrior is tying herself to a vamp forever, but escaping him is as easy is flying on broken wings. And that's not the only shock she's in for. A leech for a mate is bad enough, but a vampire sibling… Fangs don't belong in her family, right?

The future is not a safe place. When Tay Maslov was a girl she lived in New York State, and her playground was the sun-drenched fields of her parents' farm. But all that changed the day the Servitors came, looking for new recruits for their master, the Archon Jeremiah of Brooklyn. The vampires—or Elders—rule the cities now, and hardly any humans are left out in the wilderness. All the land is given over to the bizarre animal-like Shifters. The Elders run the Blood Banks, enforce Blood Donations, as well as the Blood Clubs and the culls of insurgents.

When Jamie makes the fateful decision to return to his father, he thinks his time in the supernatural world is done. Little does he know, things have only just begun… A fierce betrayal tests loyalties as he's torn between his old world and the new, pitting father against son in a desperate attempt to keep his friends safe. New revelations hint at a dark family secret, but before Jamie can learn more, the fragile alliance is blown apart at the seams.

Centuries before the creation of the five kingdoms, when the great houses were still forming and the realm was ruled by fae, a small band of companions set out on a journey. Kiera had never left her village. It was a stroke of luck that she wasn't there when the dragon attacked. Without any friends or family, without a shred of hope that anyone might believe her, she strikes off alone into the forest, looking for people that can help. The world is new and untamed. The people are leaderless. There has never been an alliance to unite them, but an alliance is exactly what the realm needs.

Evrion teeters on the brink of anarchy as Amber flees the homeland she has only just gotten to know. Hidden away in yet another unfamiliar room, lying awake in a strange bed, she grapples with the harsh reality of the life she has chosen. She is lightyears away from Evrion, unable to stand with the people who have looked to her family as a guiding light for years.

The search for the stone reaches a turning point, but those wedding bells still chime in the distance.

When a crimson dragon rises from the ancient fortress, Evie and her friends think their luck is finally turning. Their enemy is strong, but not invincible. He is raising an army of darkness, but they have powerful allies to come to their aid. They are returning to their parents. Their parents will know what to do. If only things were so simple. A realm divided cannot stand, and it will take more than taking up the crown again to restore the five kingdoms. Sacrifices must be made, an impossible choice that shakes the friends to their very core.

I Fell not because I hated humans, but because I loved one of their own…Mara and Eris have been cut off from Heaven, abandoned on Earth, still bound and completely without support.

After reaching the great tower of Wren and sending out their message, Kiera and her friends find themselves at a crossroads.

Spurred by the actions of his father, and a desperate need to protect Evander, Eden wrestles with his loyalties.

Caught between the pull of two stones, she begins to question things she'd always thought were certain.

Having escaped the clutch of the warlords and left the Tezerin Valley in flames behind them, Kiera and her friends make for the great tower of Wren.

When Kiera and her friends reach the hollow, they think they're finally going to get the answers they so desperately seek. How can they kill a dragon? How can they even find it? But instead of answers, they're left with riddles and even more questions. Instead of returning to civilization, instead of rallying more people to their side, the friends make a decision that sets them upon an even more dangerous quest than the one they were on before.

When a swarm of monsters crashed out of the forest, Kiera thought it would be a struggle just to stay alive. But it's not enough to survive, one must also defend. And as fate would have it, there was an ever greater danger lurking in those trees. Old enemies surface and ancient grudges come to light, as a new player enters the field. One that could bring ruin to them all. One whose intentions are never quite what they seem. The newfound fellowship is shaken to the core, but as they are constantly reminded, time is not on their side.

Can she escape him when he seems to have all the advantages? Maybe, just maybe, but only with the help of a necromancer and his ghost ship, and a little diversion care of a fire-breathing dragon…
