Reed's summoning skill pulled a wooden chair during a boss fight. A chair. It sat in the summoning circle while a level 35 dungeon guardian tried to cave his skull in. He used it as a shield. That's what [Random Summon] was: 98% garbage, 2% barely useful, and the reason the Hero's party kept him around as a punching bag instead of a teammate. For two years, Reed took the beatings. The stolen loot. The healer who patched his bones but never asked who broke them. Then the Hero buried him alive in a collapsing dungeon and filed him as dead.

Chosen. Framed by my father’s murderer. Running from the fae courts. Fated to never touch the man who sets my blood on fire.

Orphaned. Trained to fight. Raised to fear the power of Underhill. Secretly in love with a man who doesn’t want me. I’m still just Alli, aka the half-human orphan fae, but my life is looking up for the first time. It only took me my whole 24 years. But when Underhill—the ancestral home of the fae—shatters, making it impossible for any fae to enter, I’m the only one who knows who did it. A secret that will be the death of me if I do nothing. 

Being a different breed of shapeshifter—a walker—Mercy can see ghosts, but the spirit of her long-gone father has never visited her. Until now.

As other walkers make their presence known to Mercy, she must reconnect with her heritage to exorcise the world of the legend known as the river devil.

My lovely girls, Desire and Lilith, sit by my feet, ready to carry out my dark commands. We watch as the butcher’s son, the old soldier and the capricious witch clash with my monsters, testing their resolve against the dark power of my castle. In the upcoming days, true adventurers–Ruby ranked wizards and Emerald ranked rogues — will test their might against me. My deadly traps wait for them, ready to drive spikes into their chests or bathe them in beautiful fire.

Instead of waking up eternally doomed to burn in the pits of Hell, I awoke in the courtyard of Castle Dominion. It is my very own loving succubus, Lilith, who tells me that I was once a feared Castle Core. So terrifying in fact—that my walls were torn down and the life force in my Core banished to Earth. Now along with my beautiful succubus and Desire—the first of my new dark harem—I will rebuild myself.

The magical tea has worn off. My eyes are wide open. And it’s with horror that I realize the fate of two realms rests on my shoulders after my mother’s ultimate sacrifice to trap Rubezahl in Underhill. Terrified humans clamoring for answers, whispered rumors from both Seelie and Unseelie, and a stepmother who seeks the throne for surprising reasons are the least of my troubles. Rubezahl has returned far sooner than I thought possible. I’m not ready. I can’t win this. And not only that… He has something crucial if we are to win. He’s taken something I cannot live without.

Are you ready to meet Man of the Month Tucker Holden? A beard and tattoos, plus a lifetime subscription to the wine of your choice? He's the man who's got it all—except the girl. That is, until now. What do I have in common with Tucker Holden? Nothing and yet everything. But mostly our loyalty to my older brother. Which is exactly why I’ve kept my feelings for Tucker a secret. At least until I went and drunk dialed him… and proceeded to word-vomit everything I’ve tucked away for the last however many years.
