Book Synopsis

The dead don't scare me. But seeing my first love alive? That terrifies me.

The plan was simple. Kill Marco, rescue the Avids, and disappear with Malachi forever. Then Cade stepped back into my life and shattered everything I thought I knew.

He’s been part of Solace all along, working for the Syndicate, searching for me for years. But I’m not the girl he once loved. Marco’s pretty prison turned me into something darker, something that speaks to ghosts and has a hunger for revenge.

The Volkovs are planning something big, the Syndicate is crumbling from betrayal, and someone is playing both sides. With Aurora at my side and the Avids rising in rebellion, we have one chance to strike back.

Then a century-old secret surfaces that changes everything and has me questioning who to trust, what I’m fighting for, and who I even am. What if every choice brings me closer to becoming exactly what Marco wanted me to be the demon they all fear?

Now I need help from the dead … before I end up joining them.

Book Synopsis

I can see the dead. They tell me their secrets. But this time, their secrets might get me killed.

My name is Kat Sinclair, and the Volkov family owns me. People like me, born with special abilities, are called Avids. But my gift doesn’t spare me from the demands of Marco Volkov, the ruthless family patriarch who keeps me in line with the ever-present threat of violence.

When a grisly double murder involving a family nephew and a cook shakes the household, I’m forced to uncover the truth. The whispers of the dead reveal more than I bargained for, unearthing secrets that could destroy the Volkovs—and me.

But I met a charming stranger who might be able to help. Except he doesn’t know about my gift, my scars, or the dark past I can’t escape. But in his eyes, I see something I thought I’d lost long ago—hope.

If I want to escape, I’ll have to play along. But this murder might be hiding something even more dangerous. If I’m not careful, I’ll be the next one the dead are whispering about.

The future of the realms rests within her hands.

After her impressive victory, the threats Lyra faces only seem to mount. Darkness is spreading. Monsters roam freely. Old enemies resurface.

But the prophesied light to match her darkness is not as simple as it seems.

Even if a path exists to protect the people of Eguina and unite her with the man she loves, there’s the little detail of her dark magic teetering on the edge of chaos. Will her untamed power forge a lasting peace or unleash total destruction?

Book Synopsis

Can the man who shattered her heart also be the key to saving her soul?

Lyra has endured far more than any woman her age should. She has a heart full of scars and a mind teeming with questions that can only be answered in Zomea, the alleged realm of the dead. To get there, she must complete the last ceremony to open a bridge. But her belief that Nyx would be with her on this journey has been shattered.

Cast aside, Nyx’s absence leaves room for Colton—a maddeningly attractive Fae, whose infuriating demeanor hides a deeper connection. As Lyra and Colton grow closer, they are challenged by the darkness stirring within Lyra, threatening both her and the fate of Eguina. According to a prophecy, only one man can save her, and that man is…Nyx.

Will Nyx and Colton be able to work together to save Lyra, and can Lyra heal her fractured heart while putting the fate of the realms before her own desires?
