About the book
From #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the complete Summer King saga—three parts, one epic romance.
Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. Caden, the Prince, is the most dangerous being in the mortal world—haunted by a past he couldn’t control and driven by a singular desire: revenge. And there’s only one person who can help him.
Brighton Jussier knows better than to trust him. Raised in the Order, she’s seen the atrocities Caden is capable of. Reformed or not, she wants nothing to do with him…until he leaves her no choice. Forced into an uneasy alliance, she discovers the man beneath the ice—a man whose touch burns with forbidden heat and whose gaze holds a wicked promise.
But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare hell-bent on destroying the world—and everyone close to him. The more Brighton and Caden work together, the harder it is to deny the hunger between them. And when Brighton is bestowed with the forbidden Summer’s Kiss, becoming something no longer human, Caden refuses to let her go—even at the cost of his Court.
Now, as the doorway to the Otherworld is breached, Brighton and Caden must do the unthinkable—not just to survive, but to save mankind from the evil that threatens to consume the world.
Previously published as the novellas The Prince, The King, and The Queen.

About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER!
“As darkly whimsical as the most beloved fairy tales and soaked in gothic atmosphere. The gorgeous and evocative illustrations bring to life an unforgettably lush and hypnotically romantic story.” —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning
Step into the dark coming-of-age fantasy debut from The Legend of Korra illustrator Michelle Wong, where a young woman bound to a mysterious god seeks revenge on her aristocratic family in a story of divine rituals, brutal magic, and twisted love—featuring illustrations throughout by the author.
Born out of wedlock and shunned by society, Alma found solace in solitude—so long as her mother was by her side. But when illness strikes, Alma reaches out to the father she’s never known and uncovers a dark truth: she’s a bastard of House Avera, one of the four noble families that serve the gods, and her father is a vessel of the Dread Beast, a harbinger of death.
To save her mother, Alma agrees to sacrifice her arm in a blood-soaked ceremony that binds her to the Beast. But the cure never comes, leaving her trapped in a hostile, gothic estate—despised by her relatives and used as a pawn in her father’s schemes.
Now vengeance drives her, guided by the god who shadows her every step. He appears only to her—a beautiful, monstrous prince—whispering that she’s destined to reshape the world. With his dark magic fueling her, Alma sets out to destroy the House that took everything from her. But as their bond deepens and their plans grow more perilous, she must decide if her god’s honeyed words—and her forbidden feelings for him—are leading her to victory, or dragging the mortal world to ruin.
“A beguiling tale of strange gods, cosmic horrors, and ruinous revenge, House of the Beast dazzled me. With compelling characters and masterful world building, Wong’s debut is sure to become a celebrated classic.”— Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child

BURY YOUR SECRET OR DIE FOR IT.
17-year-old Quell has lived her entire life on the run. She and her mother have fled from city to city in order to hide the deadly magic that flows through Quell’s veins.
Until someone discovers her dark secret.
To hide from the assassin hunting her and keep her mother out of harm’s way, Quell reluctantly inducts into a debutante society of magical social elites called the Order that she never knew existed. If she can pass their three rites of membership, mastering their proper form of magic, she’ll be able to secretly bury her forbidden magic forever.
If caught, she will be killed.
But becoming the perfect debutante is a lot harder than Quell imagined, especially when there’s more than tutoring happening with Jordan, her brooding mentor and assassin-in-training.
When Quell uncovers the deadly lengths the Order will go to defend its wealth and power, she’s forced to choose: Embrace the dark magic she’s been running from her entire life, or risk losing everything, and everyone, she’s grown to love.
Still, she fears the most formidable monster she’ll have to face is the one inside.
Brimming with ballgowns and betrayal, magic and mystery, decadence and darkness, House of Marionne is perfect for readers who crave morally gray characters, irresistible romance, dark academia, and a deeply intoxicating and original world.

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…

A KINGDOM ON THE EDGE.

Slaide Elias, the infamous shadow-wielding witch hunter, has spent his life serving the crown he despises. Hazel should be his enemy. Instead, she becomes his only chance at freedom—and the first to challenge the darkness within him.
Condemned to the deadly Tournament of Champions, Hazel and Slaide are forced into an uneasy alliance that ignites something far more perilous than magic. But as secrets unravel and destiny closes in, Hazel will have to decide if trusting her enemy will save her… or doom them both.

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.

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.

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.

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
