A snarky fae, a sexy king, and forbidden desire deep as the sea. Once, I was a fae princess with sea-magic at my fingertips. Now? I'm a hunted supernatural in a squalid shop, stripped of my power. My only comforts are stale cookies, Elvis records, and my hula-hoop. Until a lethally sexy fae king arrives and rips even those away. After the brutal king throws me in prison, I strike a bargain with him: my freedom in exchange for helping him find a magic blade. What Lyr doesn't know is that the blade might restore my stolen magic. But as we journey, the gorgeous jerk is starting to make me feel things I've never felt. When Lyr touches me, desire ignites. I see raging passion in his eyes, too. If I give in, I risk losing my chance at reclaiming my power. Even worse... I could be forfeiting my life.

In the hallowed Storm Fae Academy, everyone has a secret. It sucks to be a supernatural fugitive, but as a fae witch, what can you do? Get on with things. Ignore the elite fae assassins who rule the city. Try not to freak out when one of them surprises you mid-shower. Usual stuff. But when the assassins capture my best friend, I'll do anything to stop her execution. Including joining their academy. Now, while I secretly plot to break Wren out, I am forced compete in a lethal set of trials. Failure means that a monstrous headsman kills us both. Turns out I have to train with a dragon-blood fae. He's powerful, scary, and lethally attractive. And, like me, he's harboring dark secrets. Worst thing about him? He's the monstrous headsman himself. This book is from the Demons of Fire and Night world, with characters who appear in Court of Shadows.

Ursula hadn't expected to return to the Shadow Realm a prisoner, but at least the dungeon reunites her with her old mentor, Kester. That's only a small consolation when she learns the horrific plans of a shadowy demigod. Plans that involve her. In order to fight back, she must find her fianc , Bael. Together, they've got to steal Excalibur from the world's most powerful dragon-shifter. On her journey, her shocking past is revealed, and Ursula finally learns the truth about herself. But she needs to stay focused. Because if the demigod gets his way with her-the world will come under his nefarious control, and Ursula will be lost in the void forever.

After venturing into the underworld, I have some badass goddess powers. In fact, I used them to rid the earth of the angelic scourge. Only problem is, the gods I stole the magic from are kind of pissed. They keep trying to kill me when I summon their power. Worse, the angels are back on earth, harder to kill than ever. When my lover Adonis is abducted by our enemy, I do whatever I can to get him back. But the angels have a new plan for us. They want me to kill my own boyfriend-since I'm the only one who can do it. If we can't defeat the new onslaught of angels, I face a fate worse than death-and the rest of the world is coming with me.

Exiled from the Shadow Fae, I'm left out on London's streets. The Knights of the Institute are dying of the plague, and they're sure I'm to blame. Desperate to speak to Ruadan, I invade the Institute. Then, things take a turn for the worse. Like, "tortured in a tiny prison cell" worse. Seems like Ruadan has completely betrayed me. But when I finally reunite with my dark demigod, it turns out I'd totally misunderstood his actions. Once I'm out of jail, Ruadan and I have to fix this mess, and we're thrown together once again. That means finding my father. Plus, we have to kill Baleros before the monster gets what he's after: the skin off Ruadan's corpse. If Baleros gets what he wants, then he'll control the world, and I'll lose Ruadan forever.

As a Knight of the Shadow Fae, I'm tasked with defending the Institute. I'm deep into a world of dark magic, orgiastic death cults, and demon roller discos. But my new life begins with an impossible choice: turn over Ruadan within twenty-four hours, or my nemesis will unleash the Black Death. Worse, my old gladiator master is threatening to reveal my identity. If the truth gets out, I'll be out of the Institute faster than you can say "wrath of an incubus." If I can't find and kill my oldest enemy in time, then it's the Black Death for everyone, and I'll be back on the run once more.

I would not say things are going well, exactly. I live in a burnt-out car under a bridge, surrounded by rubbish. When Ruadan shows up to bring me back to the Institute, I leap at the chance. That is, until he throws me into the dungeons. I'm on the naughty list, and the mentor who once trained me is cold as ice. Now, I must pass every single trial, or the Institute's executioners will rip me to pieces. Good thing I can handle it. I was the queen of the gladiator ring, and I do not go down easily.

Disguises are second nature at this point, and I'm used to keeping my powers concealed. But when a lethal angel starts coming after me, my cover is blown. In my escape, I've found an unlikely ally in Adonis-the dangerously seductive angel of death. With him by my side, I'm going undercover again. I just have to pretend to be his simpering, idiot lover--while secretly collecting intelligence from a psychotic god of war. One I have to pretend to actually admire. If I don't find the info I need, I'm dead at the hands of a whole horde of angels-and the apocalypse really begins.

To live, I must tempt the angels of death. It's been eighteen months since the angels of the apocalypse ripped our world apart. Before, I was a burlesque dancer, decked in sequins and feathers at the hippest clubs. Now, I live in an abandoned hospital in East London, scavenging for scraps. At least, until I get the chance to fight back against the disturbingly seductive angels. In fact, I'm going undercover as a spy in their castle. I have two goals: learn their weaknesses, and find my missing sister. Problem is, I have to pretend to be someone I'm not: an alluring succubus. If one of the angels discovers who I really am, the fate of the world could lie in ruins. I can't let that happen. The angels tried to destroy my world, and it's my turn to ravage theirs.

All's fair in love and magic. Rosalind is preparing for all-out war with Drew, who wields gods-magic with terrifying skill. But now Rosalind is learning to harness gods-magic, too. When she next encounters her cousin, she wants to destroy him completely. Unfortunately for her, Drew launches a surprise attack on the vampire city. Torn away from Caine, she's trapped in Drew's sadistic world where she has to do whatever he commands. But a quiet rage simmers under the surface... Drew thinks he can control her, but she'll do anything to be reunited with Caine, her seductive demigod. And when she does, she's determined to learn the truth about him--and herself--once and for all. Gods-magic or not, she'll find a way back to the vampire city. Because the price of failure will be far too high for her, for Caine--and for all of demon-kind.

With both her best friend and sister safe, Rosalind has nearly everything she wants. The three of them dream of a simple life together--a cozy little house in the woods. If nothing else, it would take Rosalind far away from the gorgeous incubus Caine and the conflicted feelings he inspires. But when Rosalind's psychopathic cousin Drew invades the vampire kingdom, the slaughter begins. He punishes Rosalind in the worst way possible. Now under siege, Rosalind's old plans are in shambles. But she is out for vengeance with a new strategy, one she must keep a secret from Caine. Turns out, Rosalind has powerful magic of her own. As Rosalind develops her terrifying powers, she must control her darkest impulses. If she can't gain reign in the chaos in her mind, the world will fall under the nightmarish control of her cousin's dark army.
