She has hunted him for years. Now if she could only kill him.

Lyssandra’s life is a lie. As a hunter of the Helius Order, she’s dedicated to slaying vampires and protecting the innocent. But she’s also a vampire’s human servant.

If her secret comes out, her own order will execute her.

When she finds Asher, she’ll cut out his heart for tying her to him, even if he only did it to save her. Even if it kills her too. But when a young girl is found dead, Lyssandra’s mission is derailed. In the gaping hole where the girl’s heart once was, lies single red rose. Lyssandra has seen the signature before, left by the vampire who took her uncle’s life.

Karpov is one of the ancients, and his death is the only one Lyssandra wants more than Asher’s. Unfortunately, Karpov is also the only being—dead or undead—who holds the key to Asher’s whereabouts. If Lyssandra ever wants to find him, she’ll have to work with her uncle’s murderer.

Asher’s death could finally bring her peace, but can she accept it when it means leaving her uncle’s killer alive? Or will she fall into his waiting arms, unable to fight the pull of the master and servant bond . . .

Reign of Night

"Xoe Meyers had a normal life. So she was stuck going to high school, and she only had a few friends to call her own. She liked her normal life. Things were about to change though, because there's a new guy in her small town, and he is anything but normal. Before Xoe can say, "Werewolf," her best friend's life is in peril, and Xoe's world is turned upside-down. Then, of course, there's Jason. Xoe doesn't trust him as far as she can throw him, and given that he's a vampire, she'd have to be able to catch him first."--

Or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, Oh My! the First Novel in the Xoe Meyers Young Adult Fantasy/Horror Series.

Bitter Ashes

"War is coming. With the reappearance of the Tuatha De, the countryside is thrown into chaos. Entire villages have been obliterated. Magic users are suffering persecution along with the Faie, leaving droves of refuges to wait outside the gates of the great cities, hoping for the acceptance that will never come. After a brief reunion with her companions, Finn is stolen away during the night by an unseen foe. Lost and alone, she must put her trust in a stranger if she hopes to reach Migris alive. Yet, nothing is as it seems, and those she trusts most, may very well be the ones to betray her"--Page [4] of cover.

Daughter of Ash

War is coming. With the reappearance of the Tuatha De, the countryside is thrown into chaos. Entire villages have been obliterated. Magic users are suffering persecution along with the Faie, leaving droves of refugees to wait outside the gates of the great cities, hoping for the acceptance that will never come. After a brief reunion with her companions, Finn is stolen away during the night by an unseen foe. Lost and alone, she must put her trust in a stranger if she hopes to reach Migris alive. Yet, nothing is as it seems, and those she trusts most, may very well be the ones to betray her.

The Capital is an ugly place. Under the rule of Egrin Dinoba, the Valeroot elves have barely managed to survive, but at least they're not Arthali witches. Elmerah's people were exiled long ago. Just a child at the time, her only choice was to flee her homeland, or remain among those who'd betrayed their own kind. Elmerah was fine living out her solitary life in a swamp, until pirates kidnap her and throw her in with their other captives, young women destined to be sold into slavery. With the help of an elven priestess, Elmerah teaches the pirates what happens to men who cross Arthali witches, but she's too late to avoid docking near the Capital. While her only goal is to run far from the political intrigue taking place within, she finds herself pulled mercilessly into a plot to overthrow the Empire, and to save the elven races from meeting a bloody end. Elmerah will learn of a dark magical threat in the process, and will have to face the thing she fears most: the powerful older sister she left behind, far from their home in Shadowmarsh.

Dark shadows lurk, waiting for the perfect opportunity to destroy everything she holds dear, and Finn's magic alone cannot save them. Will she become what she is meant to be, or will the threat of loss make her falter when it matters most?

These Aren't Your Typical Heroes Heroes aren't defined by shining armor, golden crowns, or noble virtues. Beggars, thieves, killers, children, and fools--a hero is anyone who takes a stand against oppression, abuse, and evil. Ragged though they may be, they hold their ground, defy hopeless odds, and conquer the impossible no matter the personal cost. Eighteen bestselling and award-winning authors give you a look at what it truly means to be a hero: the simple act of standing up and making a difference, even to just one person.

Ragged Heroes

Xoe is back and better than ever! Set three years in the future, The Demon Code is the continuation of Xoe’s story. All of your favorite characters have returned, along with a few new ones! I had imagined plenty of scenarios for seeing Chase again, but I’d never thought it would happen like this. I didn’t know where he’d been all this time, but I knew one thing for sure, he wasn’t responsible for his brother’s murder. Now if only I could prove that to the Demon Council. We weren’t on the best of terms, especially since my investigation firm started serving not only demons, but vampires, werewolves, and any other supernaturals in need of help. We only have two weeks until the trial that might prove fatal for Chase. Demons aren’t the most forgiving of creatures. We live by a strict code. To break it means death. Unfortunately, I’ve never been good at following the rules.

Minor Magics: The Demon Code

When the fate of the elves rests on the shoulders of an antisocial swamp witch, will a common enemy be enough to bring two disparate races together?
