About the book
2013 winner FF&P's Prism Award for Published Authors—Best First Book
Deep within the primeval forests of southern England, a race of beautiful, savage shape-shifters lives hidden from the everyday world. Bound together by ancient bloodlines and a ruthless code of secrecy that punishes traitors with death, the Ikati send their leader Leander on a mission to capture one raised outside the tribe before she can expose their secret. When Leander tracks the unsuspecting outsider to Southern California, the hardened warrior is prepared for a fight—but not for the effect the sensual young beauty has on his heart.
Jenna spent her childhood in hiding, on the run from someone—or something—her parents refused to discuss. She trusts no one, not since her father’s mysterious disappearance, not since her mother’s sudden death, and definitely not since she began exhibiting strange, superhuman abilities. When handsome, enigmatic Leander appears, promising answers to the mysteries that shroud her past, she knows she shouldn’t trust him either. But their connection is undeniable, and as powerful as the enemy hell-bent on destroying every one of their kind…

He was bred to destroy her kind. She’s destined to destroy the world. But the Fates have a sense of humor…
A KINGDOM ON THE EDGE.
A POWER SHE CAN’T CONTROL.
AN ENEMY SHE CAN’T IGNORE.
The fragile peace between the triplet Kingdoms of Aetherium is fracturing. The anti-magic Border around Aeos is failing—and something dark is rising.
Hazel Callahan only wanted a quiet life alongside her father at their inn. But when forbidden magic bursts from her veins, she becomes a fugitive in a realm that hunts her kind. Her only hope for survival—and the truth about her mother’s past—lies with the one man sworn to destroy her.

But magic isn't kind, and her new friend harbors secrets of her own. She can't stay in Havnestad—or on two legs—without Evie's help. And when Evie reaches deep into the power of her magic to save her friend's humanity—and her prince's heart—she discovers, too late, what she's bargained away.

About the book
It was supposed to be simple. Graduate, get a job to keep my mom from drowning in mountains of medical debt, and maybe score a scholarship to a decent college.
All of that changed in a single breath. Because it turns out I’m not human. And I just knocked out the power on an entire city block.
In a split second, all of my carefully-laid plans go up in smoke. There’s no chance for college because I’m being hauled off to Kingwood Academy. They say it’s for my own protection and those around me. But I know one thing for sure…
I’m not welcome here.
The mean girls don’t stop at insults and tripping you in the halls. They’re wielding magic that could cost me my life. And the rest of the school sees me as either a halfling that should be cast out or a powerhouse to be brought down.
Everyone except them.
The charmer. The gentle giant. The psychopath. And maybe even the cruel prince.
The royals of Kingwood Academy have taken me under their wing and I can’t help but notice how my skin hums when they touch me. I shouldn’t be dreaming about a single one of them, let alone all four. But I can’t seem to stop myself.
Only someone doesn’t like the attention the royals are showing me. And when the attacks start, the princes will do anything to protect me. But they don’t know the true evil we face. The kind who will do whatever it takes to seize our power, even if that means stealing the very last breath from our lungs…
*Book one in a continuing three book series. Think fated mates, crazy powerful elementals, a heroine with no idea what she is, protective royals, and an evil who wants all their power...

Hatred turns dangerous when revenge transforms a woman into the very monster she was raised to destroy.
A Clash of Villains
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
Hatred turns dangerous when revenge transforms a woman into the very monster she was raised to destroy. In A Clash of Villains, she enters a brutal werewolf academy ruled by power plays, buried secrets, and an ancient threat tied to her own fate. The dark romance at its center sharpens the tension, with betrayal, transformation, and a commander as dangerous as the world around him.

About the book
When two villains collide, the world doesn’t stand a chance—but neither do their hearts.
In a world of monsters, vengeance breeds villains.
For years, I burned with hatred for the creatures who ruled our realm, mourning the devastation they brought to my family. Revenge was my only purpose—until a reckless act of heroism turned me into the very thing I despised.
Now, I’m thrust into Lycora Training Academy, where werewolves are forged and power games reign supreme. It’s a battleground of secrets and betrayals, and I’m no stranger to fighting dirty. But as I navigate this savage new world, I uncover whispers of an ancient threat—one that could shatter everything. And somehow, I’m the key to its destruction… or its awakening.
Then there’s him. The brooding, arrogant Commander whose growl could unravel me and whose motives are as dark as his smirk. He’s dangerous, maddening, and utterly irresistible. But in a place where loyalty is a weapon and trust is a death sentence, I can’t afford to let my guard down—not for him, not for anyone.
In a clash of villains, the real question isn’t who’s the hero. It’s who will strike first.
A Clash of Villains—where love, power, and betrayal collide in a tale darker than the moonlit sky.
Perfect for fans of dark romantic fantasy, werewolf mythology, sassy and strong FMCs, and a hot, growling Commander who knows how to play dirty.

Every lifetime ends the same way: she kills the boy who cannot stop finding her.
After the Sky Falls
Dark Romance · Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Every lifetime ends the same way: she kills the boy who cannot stop finding her. In After the Sky Falls, imperial assassin Ellas Valentin begins to question everything when her latest target claims to remember loving her across multiple lives. As rebellion spreads and fragments of past betrayals surface, this YA dark romantasy blends reincarnation, enemies-to-lovers tension, and dangerous secrets that challenge loyalty and fate.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Every life, he finds her. Every life, she kills him.
Ellas Valentin was forged into the empire's deadliest weapon, trained to obey, conditioned to feel nothing, loyal only to the crown that sharpened her into a blade. Mercy is weakness. Hesitation is death.
Until the boy she’s sent to assassinate looks at her like she’s his salvation.
Noct Seraph has died nine times. In every lifetime, he finds Ellas, the girl with the storm in her eyes and a blade at his throat. And in every lifetime, she forgets him.
This time, he refuses to die quietly. When Noct’s memories begin bleeding into Ellas’s mind—flashes of past betrayals, stolen kisses, and a love that always ends in blood—she realizes the empire has lied to her about more than just her enemies.
As rebellion ignites across the kingdom, Ellas must choose:
Remain the crown’s perfect assassin.
Or trust the boy who remembers loving her in every life… even the ones where she was the villain.
Perfect for fans of These Violent Delights and An Ember in the Ashes.

A curse steals seven years from a woman who once commanded the magic of a legendary vineyard.
The Vine Witch
Romantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
A curse steals seven years from a woman who once commanded the magic of a legendary vineyard. When Elena Boureanu finally breaks free, she returns to find Château Renard under new ownership and its vines tangled in dark enchantments. In The Vine Witch, Elena must hide her identity while uncovering the magic poisoning the land, blending historical fantasy with revenge, slow trust, and the fragile restoration of power.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.
“Cleverly crafted…The Vine Witch is a grown-up fairy tale with a twisty-turn-y story line of magic, love, and betrayal that holds your attention…Pure escapism.” —Forbes
A young witch emerges from a curse to find her world upended in this gripping fantasy set in turn-of-the-century France.
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.
Vigneron Jean-Paul Martel naively favors science over superstition, and he certainly doesn’t endorse the locals’ belief in witches. But Elena knows a hex when she sees one, and the vineyard is covered in them. To stay on and help the vines recover, she’ll have to hide her true identity, along with her plans for revenge against whoever stole seven winters of her life. And she won’t rest until she can defy the evil powers that are still a threat to herself, Jean-Paul, and the ancient vine-witch legacy in the rolling hills of the Chanceaux Valley.

Daughter of the Drowned Empire

Our take
Lady Lyriana Batavia has spent years hiding her sisters’ forbidden magic, but when her own power brings a sentence of exile, she accepts a deadly contract: seven months to train without magic and pass the Emperor’s brutal test.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Cleopatra meets Throne of Glass in this romantic fantasy series with forbidden romance, political intrigue, and slow burn spice.
Lady Lyriana Batavia is third in line to the Seat of Power in Bamaria: a position of wealth and privilege, but not safety. Bamaria falls under the rule of the Lumerian Empire, survivors of a celestial war whose island sank in the Drowning. Now all Lumerians submit to the Emperor and his strict laws about magic. He decides what magic can be practiced and what powers remain forbidden. He decides who will die for possession of forbidden magic.
Lyr’s own cousin was executed for wielding the wrong kind. And for years, Lyr has sworn to protect her older sisters, helping them conceal their own illicit magic.
But when Lyr must participate in the ceremony that reveals her power, she uncovers something else entirely. Something that means banishment from the Empire.
Faced with death in exile, and leaving her sisters behind, Lyr has no choice but to accept a deadly contract. She has seven months to train as a warrior and pass the Emperor’s brutal test of strength, without magic.
But when she’s forced to train with Lord Rhyan Hart, the man she’s secretly loved since she was a girl—a feared warrior in exile himself, forbidden to her in every way—she’s in danger of losing far more than her family, life, and country.
Rebel forces, and an invading army, are destabilizing Bamaria, just as her family’s secrets threaten to reveal themselves.
Surviving the training, and saving her sisters may mean sacrificing her own heart.
'One fantastical world. One fierce heroine to take it down! Daughter of the Drowned Empire is sexy, thrilling, and pure magic!' Cecy Robson, author of Bloodguard

Our take

Choose your retailer
About the book
“You should be afraid of me, mongrel. I keep telling you that.”
Malcroix Bones Academy, hallowed university for elite Magicals, just enrolled its first hybrid student in its thousand-year history, Leda Shadow. The Bones family founders also send their male heir, Caelum: entitled, spoiled, irritatingly competent, deadly in the magical sparring ring, and born to preside as virtual king over the university his family founded. He’s also best friend to the first Magical Leda meets when she first arrives in Magical London.
Of course, Caelum himself despises her on sight.
But when someone tries to kill her, he learns something strange about her magic, and together they make a pact. He’ll help her stay alive, and she’ll help him with his magical “problem,” and absolutely no one will know of their arrangement. But as the year unfolds, their already-volatile relationship gets increasingly complicated.
And Caelum’s got a rep as the biggest prick in school for a reason.
Malcroix Bones Academy is book one in the dark academia romance series, Bones and Shadow. Meet Leda Shadow, first hybrid to live in Magique in over a thousand years, and Caelum Bones, the prince prick of the magical university where she finds herself. This dark academia, enemies to lovers, romantasy series, Bones and Shadow, features all adult characters in a brand new world, filled with deadly creatures, dark sorcerers, invisible cities, ancient myths, animal spirits, dark magic, and cults obsessed with wiping out the human race.

At a secluded academy where dark magic and elite bloodlines rule, rivalry cuts deeper than spells.
House of Pain
Romantasy · Paranormal Romance
Our take
At a secluded academy where dark magic and elite bloodlines rule, rivalry cuts deeper than spells. In House of Pain, half-witch Alecto Black becomes the target of both a powerful rival faction and Blaze Leveau, her former friend turned tormentor. As secrets surface and loyalties shift, this dark academia paranormal romance explores obsession, cruelty, and desire sharpened by vengeance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
What do you get if you mix Harry Potter with Zodiac Academy, a dash of Gossip Girl, and a generous sprinkle of dark, deathly magic? The Venefica Academy.
Blaze Leveau, the most popular pure-blooded bad-boy, has hated a half-witch, Alecto Black since the day she stepped foot at the secluded academy on the shore of a bloody lake, where dark magic and spoiled elite ravage untamed.
Or, so Alecto thinks.
Why else would her childhood friend-turned-sworn enemy with dark eyes and mischievous smirk risk jeopardizing his legacy just to get Alecto in trouble with one of her professors? Surely, it’s his pure, wicked desire to see her suffer.
And that’s not even the worst of what Blaze Leveau is capable of.
However, when Alecto becomes a target of the rival student group, Blaze is the first to throw punches and spill blood to protect her. It turns out Blaze has a claim on Alecto–he is the only one allowed to torture her.
What Blaze doesn’t expect is that Alecto isn’t just a tame and demure half-mortal he believed her to be. Alecto has sharp teeth and nails and is ready to fight back. His charms and wicked tongue be damned.
House of Pain is the perfect read for dark academia and paranormal fantasy lovers who want morally grey characters, dark family secrets, spoiled rich bad boys, and lots of spice. It's a dual POV, steamy (extremely) enemies-to-lovers bully romance, so proceed with caution–you have been warned.

About the book
A Lesson in Vengeance meets The Taking of Jake Livingston in this page-turning dark academia novel about a queer Black teen who discovers the sinister history of his boarding school and the corrupt powers behind it all. A USA Today bestseller!
Regent Academy has a long and storied history in Winslow, Vermont, as does the forest that surrounds it. The school is known for molding teens into leaders, but its history is far more nefarious.
Seventeen-year-old Douglas Jones wants nothing to do with Regent's king-making; he’s just trying to survive. But then a student is murdered and, for some reason, by the next day no one remembers him having ever existed, except for Douglas and the groundskeeper's son, Everett Everley. In his determination to uncover the truth, Douglas awakens a horror hidden within the forest, unearthing secrets that have been buried for centuries. A vengeful creature wants blood as payment for a debt more than three hundred years in the making—or it will swallow all of Winslow in darkness.
And for the first time in his life, Douglas might have a chance to grasp the one thing he’s always felt was missing: power. But if he’s not careful, he will find out that power has a tendency to corrupt absolutely everything.
