With only fractured Memories and a dangerous alliance with Jadon Wake—prince, blacksmith, and possible betrayer—she must reclaim her power.

Jessamine was born to lead—but on her wedding day, she’s betrayed and murdered by her new husband, who steals her throne. Instead of finding peace in death, she meets the Deathless One, a god craving resurrection. He offers her a bargain: help him return to the mortal world, and he’ll restore her life and kingdom. But deals with gods are paid in blood.

As their alliance grows into something darker and more irresistible, Jessamine must choose—reclaim her crown, or claim a throne beside the god who might ruin her completely.

Elikki has no family, but she’s got charm, grit, and enough magical chaos to keep life interesting—and dangerous. After an outburst lands her in trouble, she’s forced to flee, with quiet, kind-hearted Barra—an eight-foot-tall, bookish half-giant—unexpectedly at her side. What starts as a quick escape turns into a journey of cozy inns, steamy nights, and growing feelings neither expected.

As bounty hunters close in and sparks fly, Elikki and Barra must decide if they’re willing to risk everything for love, freedom, and the chance to become more than they ever believed possible.

Anula Ramanayake planned her rise from the moment she was orphaned—marry the raja, poison him, and seize the throne.

Together, Alys and Ben face treacherous islands, sea monsters, and mutinous pirates.

As sparks fly and secrets surface, they must decide if their uneasy partnership can survive a war for the soul of the Caribbean.

Shunned as a bastard and raised in solitude, Alma’s world shatters when her mother falls gravely ill. A desperate message reveals her estranged father—vessel of the Dread Beast, the death-bound god of House Avera. In exchange for medicine, Alma sacrifices her arm in a binding ritual, only to lose her mother and become a pawn in her father’s schemes.

But the Beast, a terrifying god in the form of a starlit prince, chooses her for more. With vengeance burning and power awakening, Alma sets out to destroy the House that stole everything.

Fionamara is a smuggler, trading magic and stolen energy between shattered worlds to keep her village alive—far from the blood sacrifices demanded by Antal’s monstrous kind. For centuries, his people have ruled from the shadows, feeding on mortals to maintain control. But when Fi is framed with contraband and pulled into a reckless heist-turned-rebellion, her path collides with Antal himself.

Forced into an uneasy alliance to reclaim his lost city, Fi must navigate deadly politics, forbidden power, and an irresistible enemy. Because in the dark, even monsters can be tempting—and revolutions rarely leave survivors.
