The Ironside Show is back. Bigger than ever, and shinier, too. To the audience, it’s a glorious spectacle, but to Isobel Carter and the Alphas of Dorm A, it’s a trap. A maze. The further they venture, the darker their path becomes, until all the tarnish has flaked away and only the bare metal bars remain.

Isobel knows it. The Alphas know it. Yet every time they make a move, Ironside counters with two, always one step ahead, outsmarting them at every turn. Just when they grasp a lifeline, Ironside threatens to hang them with it. They have only one choice: play the game—the real game, exactly as it was designed. With new contracts pulling them deeper into the service of the Stone Dahlia and yet another settlement tour looming on the horizon, they must execute their roles flawlessly.

The academy that once promised Isobel Carter salvation has pulled back the curtain and revealed itself for what it truly is. A pretty little prison. She may have been reduced to a puppet behind a screen, but at least the Alphas of Dorm A are there to heighten her performances, quicken her breath, and flood her face with colour for the cameras.

Ironside is more than a regular academy. It’s also the biggest reality TV show in the world … and a very elaborate, very luxurious prison. Their hallowed halls are ruled by the Betas, Omegas, and Deltas—but this year, the officials are stirring things up. Isobel Carter—the only rare Sigma to be accepted—is the first sign. But there are others. Many others. A sudden influx of powerful Alphas will turn academy life, and Isobel’s life, upside down.

Isobel Carter is making headlines. Some of them good, some of them bad, and some of them … astounding. She started at the bottom and now she’s near the top with everything she never wanted, but the Ironside Show doesn’t care, because she’s just become one of the most interesting students at the academy, and everyone seems to have big plans for her.

At some point, every game has to end. There must be a winner, and there must be a loser. There must be victory at all costs. Behind the cameras, something is shifting. The script is off, and their masks are slipping. The only thing more dangerous than the truth is what they’ll do to keep it hidden, but the walls are closing in and the spotlight is burning brighter than ever. For Isobel and the Alphas, there is nowhere left to hide. The time for moves and countermoves has come to an end. The game, finally, has come to an end. Beware, pretty Icons. Ironside Academy has terminated the feed.

Despite having what I consider to be a stellar disposition, I've acquired a laundry list of enemies. Narrowing it down won't be easy. But one thing is for sure: Whoever it is knows what I am and won't stop until I'm dead or behind bars. Out of options, I must delve into the supernatural underground I've tried so hard to avoid in search of help. Feeling more lost than ever before, I must own my truth to save myself. I'm not human. My kind no longer exist. I am...the last Valkyrie.

Some people exist in the blessed light of day, but I'm not one of those people. I exist in the bleak grey of a post-twilight world, where the warmth is sucked from the air and the weightless shadows come out to play. I wasn’t always like this, but a year ago something terrible happened, and now I have a darkness inside me.

To prove the purity of my soul, I sacrificed everything. I lost my magic, my best friend, and tied myself to the five kings of the afterworld in unholy matrimony. Now, every day is torture at their hands. I am their final hope, a perfect weapon to wield in the ultimate war still looming ahead of us. They will push me as far as it takes, no matter what.

I didn’t know I’d risk everything to be with him. I thought he was the assistant football coach. I thought I would protect my teaching career from anything. I thought I could stay away from him. I thought wrong.

How might your life be different if you had an entire team of people dedicated to your success? The truth is, few of us are lucky enough to have the support we need to reach our full potential. We make plans that never materialize. We dream dreams that are forgotten, because life happens. And what's important, really important to our best future gets pushed aside for what's critical at any given moment. Our best stuff never materializes because we can't make it a priority and we don't have the support.

Feared in his own right, Alaric finds himself torn between the law he has protected for hundreds of years and a young girl who cannot be loved without bringing about her own death.

All my life I’ve known I wasn’t the same as everyone else. That I wasn’t normal, whatever misconstrued version of the word you wish to use. While the other children were running about, playing on the jungle gym and minding their own, I watched as my third-grade teacher stood silent near the swing set. Had I not witnessed her gruesome death in my dreams the night before, I may not have been able to handle the trauma to my young mind.

Raven Romero is willing to do whatever it takes to find her friends who were kidnapped by Hel - even if it means traveling to another realm for help. Meanwhile, the battle to save Midgard is upon them and Raven is scrambling to build an army in time to defend it, finding allies in the most unlikely of places. But enemies are everywhere and not everyone can be trusted. Maybe not even the ones closest to her. The end is near, and it’s time for The Rise of the Valkyries.

Raven Romero lost the Sword of Souls, giving up the search for the only weapon that could kill Odin. Instead, she teamed up with human detective William Callahan to find the drug lord responsible for Venom - a narcotic leaving dead humans and supernaturals in its wake. But priorities change when a greater evil threatens Midgard and the only way to defeat it is with the sword. Being the humans’ champion isn’t easy, especially during withdrawal and trying to stay sober. And Raven is struggling with both.

Raven Romero is a washed-up Valkyrie who is unable to return to Valhalla, spending her days in a haze of sex, drugs, and alcohol. When she is wrongfully accused of murder, Raven has two options: run or clear her name. With a laundry list of enemies, she has no idea who could be framing her. One thing is for sure: they know what she is, and they'll stop at nothing until she’s behind bars or dead.
