All that glimmers is not gold, but nothing glows quite like the gilded cage of Ironside Academy. 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. Every choice has a consequence. Sometimes, they are awarded pretty bribes in pretty packages. Other times, there is only pain. Whatever awaits them, they will have no choice but to forge ahead, each decision leading them deeper into a labyrinth of manipulation and danger. Their goal: fame, at all costs. Unfortunately, with fame comes scrutiny, and there's one secret they can't afford to reveal. One beautiful, brutal secret that could bring it all crashing down. Beware those that climb. Beware those that fall. Beware the pretty pretenders, because this social media game just got deadly serious.

As friends become enemies and enemies become villains, the Ironside underbelly casts a very wide shadow over everyone within its walls. 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. Maybe they will even catch her when she falls. Or maybe they have been pulling the strings all along. The bars of her prison may be gilded, but survival is a messy game, and what do Sigmas do when they can't keep their hands clean? They get filthy. Beware the pretty monsters, because this social media game just got brutal.

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. The only thing the Ironside fans can't decide on is which Alpha she looks best with, because of course it all goes back to them. The precious, cherished, formidable Alphas of Ironside. The ten reasons why she's in this mess to begin with. And what a beautiful, brutal mess it is. Beware the pretty liars, because this social media game just went from dangerous to deadly.

A reverse harem, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance." The relentless clock of fate was groaning over to the next hour, ringing the arrival of a battle as old as time, sounding the final alarm, the final chance to fall to our blades or lift them high. It was repeating infernal hours that grew hungrier with each turn, more vicious than the day, the year, the century before." The end was here. The great war had begun. I had been torn apart and remade, a marionette to dance over the coals of this world, stitched together by my tormentors. The great masters thought they could break me down and own me. They were wrong. I had won my freedom, my place in this world, my golden-eyed protector by my side. Until it happened again; the grim call of fate looking out at me through eyes of darkness, the great masters waiting with the power I needed, curses and promises in their hands. It was time to make another deal. It was time to play their game in earnest. Book 2 in the Tempest of Shadows series. Over 105,000 words. This is a slow burn with DARK themes, unwilling anti-heroes, and one hell of a kick-ass heroine woven through a rich fantasy setting.

"Me and you. It'll never happen. Not today, not tomorrow, not five years from now. Not when some idiot breaks your heart, or when you realise what your little sundresses do to everyone. Not when you're thirty, not when you're fifty. I'm going to push your limits, break you down, make you cry, and in the end ... I'll save you." 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 will never be free, because I have a demon. It wasn't always with me, but something happened, something bad. I lost a year of my life, and now here I am, just me and my demon. Maybe the demon is him: Nicholai Fell. He exists in the horrible darkness of a moonless night: quiet, full of mystery, completely unreachable. He might be in the profession of saving people, but it isn't going to work this time. Not even when he starts to break all of his own rules. Because maybe ... Just maybe ... My demon is me.

Willa Knight: Dweller? Sol? Accidental evolutionary hiccup? Willa has never been a particularly useful dweller: she isn't very good at chores, she isn't very good at worshipping, she isn't very good at not having opinions, and she isn't very good with rules-but none of that matters anymore. The rules are changing. The dwellers are trying to make their own way in the world, and Willa can't seem to help getting tangled up in their plans. Luckily, she has the Abcurse brothers to help her out-until she doesn't, and suddenly she's alone again in a world on the brink of chaos. With the Abcurses gone, she'll have to rely on her wits, and her sister Emmy, to stay under the radar and survive. Because someone wants her dead. But, really, what else is new?

"You see, there is safety in simplicity... in a life of simple peace, where the electricity doesn't dance across the backs of my eyelids, and the sparks don't slither over my consciousness. Only asinine peace, where my paintings don't seem to paint themselves, leaving me with terrible feelings of premonition and a chill beneath my fingernails." Seraph Black used to think that she was prepared for anything. She could last days without eating and she always walked away from the violent altercations with her father relatively unharmed. She survived working at the club and the drive to school every day in her mother's rust-bucket of a car... but it all changed when Noah and Cabe came bulldozing into her life, careless of the precious secrets they picked apart in their quest to take over her world. She was even less prepared for the mysterious Miro and Silas, and nothing could have prepared her for the bond. The connection. The reason for it all. Someone wanted her to stay away from her new friends, but she wasn't willing to do that. Everyone had secrets. She wanted to know theirs. They wanted to own hers. And the stalker? He seemed to know everything already. This is a full, 100,000 word novel. Book 1 of the Seraph Black series.
