Every sunset, Rainne is cursed to change from an elf maiden into a lust-fueled ogress. She keeps her ogre desires under control until an elf prince arrives and upsets her precariously balanced life. The ogress in her desires Prince Theo and will break every rule, entertain every taboo, and defy certain death to have him. When he commands Rainne to join him at the elven palace, she can’t refuse. Nor will she be able to hide her secret. Theo never thought he’d leave the luxurious palace of Elvenwood, but when his older brother disappears, he’s sent to find him. A chance encounter with the mysterious, yet lovely Lady Delarainne, gives him the reason he needs to return home. The only problem? There’s a mysterious woman following them and he’s determined to learn her secrets. The longer Rainne is away from home, the harder it becomes to keep the ogress from taking over permanently. The more time she spends with Theo, the harder it is to stop herself from falling for the prince. To save him, she’ll have to escape his lavish palace before he learns the harsh truth of who and what she is. But not all beliefs are true, and learning to forgive is harder than it seems. If Rainne doesn’t break the curse, she’ll lose more than just Theo—she’ll lose her elven soul to the greedy ogress spirit that wants to consume all that Rainne holds dear.

It's been seven years since Amaleigh failed to assassinate her best friend and she’s been on the run. Jumping from world to world where she never quite fits in, all she truly wants is to stop running and find a place to call home. And maybe finally be kissed by someone who doesn’t leave her feeling indifferent. To say love doesn’t come easily for her is an understatement. Unlocking her cold, dead heart might be a start to unleashing her inner dragon, but that would mean trusting another and there’s only one person she’s ever trusted—the same man she couldn’t kill. Prince Gwilym knows he shouldn’t risk Amaleigh’s life by asking for help, especially since he’s the reason she had to escape Eidyn. They grew up together as best friends, innocent in the knowledge it was Gwilym’s father who murdered her family and left her an orphan to live on the streets. Now his life is in peril and she’s the only person he trusts. He wouldn’t blame her for not daring to return to the city that celebrated the slaughter of her kind and cast her aside. Time’s running out for Gwilym and his father. Amaleigh’s future hangs in the balance. Can she survive the very place her parents were murdered, or will palace intrigues claim another victim? If she fails Gwilym, she might lose her chance to come to terms with her past, and open her heart. Forced to make a desperate choice, she must put aside her hatred for the man who murdered her family and sentenced her to a life of crime and loneliness. Dare she risk everything and return to the one place she tried desperately to forget? To save those she loves, she must become the Dragon Mage the king fears most.]]> To unleash her dragon, she must confront her past.

The devious god Kaldaar exiled the two people who could bring about his demise. Is he the only one who wishes to have Taryn and Rhoane removed permanently, or are other forces in play that would see Aelinae ruled by the Dark? As Taryn and Rhoane navigate other worlds, they discover secrets that will help them defeat their enemies. Secrets Kaldaar is only too eager to steal for himself. It’s a race across galaxies far from home, all the while tracked by a shadow. With every new world comes fresh dangers, and renewed hope. Zakael watched in horror as Kaldaar sealed the portal behind Taryn and now, he fears what the god will do to his home world. Kaldaar wears a familiar face, yet he is anything but a friend. When he threatens to consume the mad god Rykoto, Zakael must make a deadly choice. The longer Taryn and Rhoane are away, the stronger Kaldaar becomes. With his brother Rykoto's power, he’ll be unstoppable. But the people of Aelinae won’t submit to his rule so easily. Taryn and Rhoane might be far from home, but their combined powers strike terror in a dark god’s heart. Will their Light be enough? Or will Taryn and Rhoane return to a world they no longer recognize? Cutting through the veils of deception can lead to answers… or oblivion.]]> To return home, they’ll have to lose their way.

Fae are disappearing at an alarming rate and Rori MacNair must find out why before civil war ignites between the Seelie and Unseelie queens. When she wakes up alone in a strange forest, she must rely solely on her own wits to prevail against the dark forces rising against her people.

Assassins are taught to trust none but themselves, but Rori rarely plays by the rules. Dare she trust the mysterious stranger Therron when illusions cloud reality and nothing is as it seems? Her life, and those of Faerie might depend upon it.

Therron Mistwalker is hiding a secret. Having forsaken his kingdom, he lives as a thief among the fae, but when Rori enters his life he fears his days of autonomy are at an end. It’s a day he’s been dreading since he was born.

Relations between Faerie and the human realm are about to turn from respectful to hostile, and it’s up to Rori and Therron to find the enchantress responsible. . . if they can get over their differences long enough to do so.

Begin the explosive adventures of the MacNair clan as they unravel a mystery that threatens an entire realm.
