She may be doing battle in the virtual world, but in the real world, they can’t wake her up… All Rora wants is to help people as class president, give her time to local charities, and quietly earn her way to the top level of the virtual reality system that the entire country uses without anyone noticing she’s the second best player in the game. All Royce wants to do is level up as a knight inside the gaming system, slay dragons, and eventually play his way to controlling the palace as he takes the crown away from the reigning queen. When his Aunt Perry calls him, hysterically screaming that her goddaughter, Rora, has been inside for more than the four hours the game allows, Royce rushes over to help. Entering the game, Royce soon discovers that Rora is trapped inside the system after an encounter with an evil magician who can change forms inside the game and control the virtual world. If he and his friend can’t help her beat the game, she might not be able to wake up in the real world at all. When virtual knights and princesses meet to slay dragons and defeat evil rulers, there’s nothing stopping them from suffering real-world consequences too. To wake her up, he must enter the game and help her beat it.

<h2>If the only way to stay alive was to convince your new husband not to murder you and make it look like an accident, could you do it?</h2> At eighteen, Jade shouldn’t have to be forced to marry the son of her father’s enemy as part of a revenge plot for a failed rebellion. When she’s thrown into the life of being the wife of the Commander’s son and heir, her only hope for survival is convincing Roan Diamond to actually fall in love with her so that he doesn’t kill her on his father’s wishes. While a dutiful son, Roan shouldn’t have to trick his new wife into believing his family accepts her, but as the only one in a position to make the country believe Jade is part of their family, he will do what he has to before his family murders his young bride and makes it look like an accident to get back at Jade’s father. With half the country trying to protect Jade and the other half oblivious to the atrocities committed at the Commander’s hand, it’s a race to see who will win at a deadly game of cat and mouse. <h2>One chooses life. One chooses death.

Lions and Lamps

Inside the human palace, Celena is faced with a choice—cooperate or die. Separated from Merrick and the other mer, her only choice is to sway the human prince into befriending her despite his father’s resistance to create a new treaty with the mer. When her twin and the collection find Celena and Merrick, they create a plan to escape, but dangerous advances from above threaten to destroy their chance at survival. Celena and her friends find themselves thrust into a new side of the war—one where they have to side with the humans and work to help save them before it’s too late for anyone to survive this new battle. She may be fighting for her enemy’s safety, but the royal humans might kill her anyway. One way or another, the Siren Wars will finally end.

Beyond The Shores

The sirens have ripped Celena away from her collection of mer, leaving her exposed to the dangers of the open seas.

She quickly learns that the attack on the palace in Scylla wasn’t the only thing Tarni and Nir had planned—they intend to use Celena and her sister for an even darker purpose—starting a battle with the humans. When Merrick, Caspian, and Llyr try to free Celena and Coralie, they disrupt the sirens’ plans and find themselves in the middle of a war with both their enemies under the sea and the humans above the waves. As the collection closes in to aid in the rescue mission, they find themselves in a deadly siege above the surface that can only end in destruction. The Siren Wars are nowhere near over.
