Stronger, faster, and more brutal than anything they’ve faced before, Xander and Marcus find themselves in a race to save a city that’s become a killing field with Xander’s name all over it...literally. It will take more than desperation and rage to put an end to this nightmare. Unfortunately, in Xander Stryker’s new life, nightmares have a tendency to fight back....

As his 18th birthday approaches, the only thing that Xander Stryker wishes for is death. Yet, he wakes up each morning, forced to go on living and remembering the image of his stepfather murdering his mother. Instead of dying, he is thrown into a supernatural world and offered a choice: Continue his sorry life or start anew. For Xander, the choice is obvious. In the new world, life is just as unforgiving. Horrors from his past lurk from the shadows. As they fuel a fresh legacy, Xander has to stand tall and show old monsters a stronger, better version of himself.

Xander Stryker thought he’d seen his fair share; thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong. Now, Xander finds himself living night-by-night in the forest with a pack of shape-shifters. It might not be much, but it’s all he has left. But even that, with the arrival of a ragtag group seeking his help, is put in jeopardy.

A single night, a single moment, changed everything; Xander Stryker changed everything. But the worse has yet to come… Because, like the world, Xander Stryker has been changed, as well, but nobody—not even his wife, Estella—can be certain if this is for better or for worse. With apocalyptic threats rising from both the human world and the mythos world, however, the only certainty is that Xander is one of the only people on the planet that stands a chance of facing what’s coming.

The Bloodtones: up-and-coming heavy metal thrashers extraordinaire; a motley crew of diverse skills, mixed views, and different…species. But while their tastes might (literally) differ, there’s one thing they can all agree on: their music; their career; their goal. That was, at least, before Bekka - the voice and spirit of the Bloodtones - finds herself possessed (and in possession of) cosmic beings from another realm. Instead of spinning heads and speaking in tongues, however, this possession comes with superhuman powers….

“Skin witch” Mikkie Locke has spent her life running from her past, running from hate, and running from shame. And when you’re a taroe working in an “in plain sight” magic shop, that’s easier said than done.

Xander Stryker has faced a lot in the past few years: an abusive, misery-hungry stepfather; a psychotic rogue with a vendetta against Xander’s bloodline; super-powered hunters; miles and miles of blood-thirsty rogues; and, of course, a slew of enemies who revered themselves as gods. Yet, all of their boasts and all of their claims meant little when Xander was finished with them. Until now….

Zane’s back! But at what cost? Finally out of the nightmare he’d been dreading for so long, he finds a new world of troubles: Serena’s missing. Their clan is in danger. And his curse is free and roaming the streets. Now, realizing the limits of his strength without a monster inside of him to bail him out, he has to call upon all his resources—and all his friends—to save himself, to save Serena, and to possibly even save the world.

Xander and Estella are finally married. And while the two have faced a great deal in their pasts, as the newlywed clan leaders look out at the cheering faces of their fellow vampires and other mythos allies, their histories are the furthest things from their minds. After all, they’ve got a future to plan for and a honeymoon to enjoy. But an old enemy—one who shared a fateful night long ago with Xander’s father—has very different plans for the two of them. Now, the vampiric lovers find themselves separated and hunted, reliving a familiar breed of terror from their past.

Serena Vailean can’t stop thinking about Zane. After all they’d been through. But running a clan means she must move on; must do what needs to be done. No matter how hard, how strange. Or how painful. Then she finds herself face-to-face with Axle Travers, and all at once moving on doesn’t just seem easier, it seems outright necessary. Because Axle has a secret, one tied to Zane and a new conspiracy that can cost Serena and her clan everything.

With a new clan, a new legacy, and all the demands that come with it, Xander Stryker already has a lot of changes to cope with. However, with the looming death of one friend and the bittersweet arrival of another, things take a very sudden and violent turn for him and his magical lover, Estella. And their struggles have only just begun.

Xander has had it rough. And while the trials and tribulations of the young vampire's life have left him with a fiery rage, things are finally beginning to come together. Armed with his trusty revolvers, Yin and Yang, and a thirst for death and destruction, there is nothing that his expertise and fury can't stand against! Except the spellbinding Estella. Estella finally has her best friend back, and, despite her many years of training in the art of magic, it wasn't until recently that she discovered just how deep the paranormal world goes.

Cursed rage beasts? A sassy vampire in emotional turmoil? Joining an assault against an apocalyptic army of death? No problem; piece of cake; no biggie! Zoey has never needed to use her vampiric mind-reading or telekinetic gifts to be the voice of reason, but there's one person whose problems she's never been able to get a handle on: herself.

Waking up in Hell is the least of Felicia's problems… she thinks. Without a single memory of anything before that moment, she finds herself already claimed by a horrific devil. Lucky for her, she’s saved by a ragtag crew of rogue demons: A streetwise pervert, A titan of a woman, A gun-toting jarhead, A sleek, foxlike ninja, And their dark, mysterious leader.

Vincent has finally got his life figured out. More or less. And, after only fifteen-hundred years, it’s about time. “Mild-mannered” bodyguard by day, butt-kicking sorcerer by night, and immortal Viking warrior whenever the memories refuse to leave him alone. But when ancient Norse horrors start sprouting up in his city, Vincent realizes that his past life—and one of his greatest failures—has come back to finish what it started …

Elizabeth has a gift. Every night, allowing her mind to travel into dark and mysterious places, she sees a world of vampires and creatures of darkness; a world she knows is real and feels compelled to paint. But her gift - her talent - is going to be put to the ultimate test when she dreams of Xander Stryker. Driven by a need to depict her new subject in all the horror and splendor that she felt in her dream, she resorts to the unimaginable. Her need will pull her into the depraved depths of the very supernatural world that she'd dreamt of for so long.

Gregori Vailean’s life has turned into a nightmare, and—unsurprisingly—it’s a nightmare he knows all-too-well. It’s the nightmare. His mother’s nightmare. The nightmare that started all of this: A city plagued by a hate-born curse—its streets charred and stained with blood—as a waning army of supernatural warriors struggle in vain. It’s a hellish scene, one that Gregori, his mother, and even Xander Stryker saw coming…

Gregori Vailean and Luisa Armas thought they were living the lives they always dreamed of. Unfortunately, dangerous secrets and dark truths continue to plague them, threatening to—drown them in an ocean of sadness—tear their perfect lives apart. For their friends, for their loved ones, and for the Xander Stryker, however, they’ll put all of their strength and cunning on the line…… Only to find that those secrets and truths are worse than they ever could have imagined.

Gregori Vailean has found himself in a nightmare. The nightmare! Though he’s tried desperately to stop it, he can’t deny that the warzone he’s found himself in is a perfect reflection of his mother’s hellish visions… And it only seems to be getting worse. Despite this, Gregori knows what he has to do—what he has to sacrifice—even if it means turning his back on everything he knows and loves and embracing the horrible darkness inside of him to protect not just his friends, but the world.

Gregori Vailean is living the dream: A supportive-albeit-unorthodox family… A beautiful, brilliant, and brutal girlfriend… And, after graduating at the top of his class from the prestigious Stryker’s Academy, the life he’s worked his entire life for. So when he starts to catch glimpses of trouble beyond the veil of his perfect life—a mother who suffers in her sleep, a father who’s haunted by his past, and a wayward brother with a dangerous secret—Gregori knows that he has what it takes to save the day. What he doesn’t have, however, is a clue…
