I will fight to the death for those I love. What if you could freeze a moment in time? Katerina Damaris thought her problems were finally over when she took her rightful place on the throne. But she had no idea of the trouble that was waiting when she got there. When a mysterious curse freezes the palace and everyone inside, the young queen and her friends find themselves in a race against time to find out who's behind it.

Some chains are meant to be broken...When Elise makes a fateful decision, her world is changed forever. Now she and her friends find themselves trapped with a deadly secret and they're running out of time. The clock is ticking. The palace is on the brink of a royal wedding and courtiers have journeyed from every corner of the realm. Torn between a life of servitude and the threat of capture, the friends are faced with a sudden decision, and once they make it, there will be no turning back. Will they stay in the palace or make a desperate bid for freedom?

I will fight for those I love. The five kingdoms may have been saved, but the battle is far from won. Katerina Damaris finally takes her place on the throne, only to realize that the crown isn't what she thought it would be. Friends become kingdoms. Lovers become a liability. Secret promises are broken to protect the greater good. Caught in the middle of political circus, Katerina must choose between ruling her kingdom or following her heart. Alliances are strained, borders are tested, and whispers of an old enemy resurrected hang like a shadow over the realm.

A line has been drawn. As Luca fights for his life, Rebekah finds herself in a race against time. The Lower Coven is circling ever closer, the Higher Coven is in disarray, and now, the twins find themselves facing an enemy even more powerful than the Knightlys themselves. Lines are drawn, clans are divided, and with the specter of the dark creature looming ever close, Rebekah finds herself facing the ultimate questions. Who is she? What is she? And most importantly, does she have the strength to survive whatever destiny has in store?

As the final battle approaches, the exiled princess finally returns home...only to find that things are not as they seem. After a shocking discovery leaves them scrambling, Katerina and the gang find themselves faced with the toughest problem yet: finding an enemy they can kill. Alliances are tested, traitors are revealed, and bonds are stretched to the brink as the two armies march toward each other.

Is it really living when you spend your life in a cage.... The wait is over, the dust has settled, and the captives have finally been claimed. Elise thought the deadly game was finished, but the more time she spends in the palace, the more she begins to fear the real game has only just begun. In the aftermath of the ceremony, each of the friends try to adjust to their new life. But some are having more trouble than others.

When an escape attempt goes desperately awry, Elise and Will find themselves at the mercy of the very people who have imprisoned them all this time. Tensions sharpen, punishments are severe, and they soon discover what terrible things are required if they wish to survive. But such wild spirits were never meant to be tamed. While appearing to submit, the future princess still dreams of freedom.

They say it is not the fall that kills you. Maybe for humans this is true. Perhaps one could go on falling forever, and yet live on. I have heard them say you can get used to anything. Among my people, though, it is the fall itself that is the end. It is not, as you might imagine, a literal casting out. God does not throw us down from on high. It is, like many things, a process: One decision on top of another until you realize suddenly that you are too far gone to turn back. It is too late to do anything but go on falling. Or so, at least, it went for me.

She will fight for what is hers. When Katerina’s brother exiled her from the kingdom in a murderous plot to take the throne, the last thing he ever imagined was that she’d come back.

The dark wizard is moving ever closer, and a heartbreaking betrayal leaves everything up for grabs. The supernatural community has rallied behind her, but will it be enough?

After befriending a group of other captives, including the headstrong Will, Elise finds herself swept away to a world she never knew existed - polished, sculpted, and refined until she can hardly recognize her own reflection.

Eight months ago, six friends took shelter from a storm in a uranium mine, and walked out with super senses. Now, one of them is dead. The other is working off a prison sentence as a CI. With the woman who killed Rylee safely locked away and graduation rapidly approaching, Zoe dares to hope that she might have a chance at a normal life. Then Kieran shows up in her living room, wounded after a fight with an unknown assailant. With him comes the military, a team of top-secret scientists studying the secrets of the Radium Halos, and the revelation that Zoe's dad has been lying to her.

Be prepared. There are werewolves in this story, and they are not friendly. Peace has always come at a price...A line has been drawn.

Whatever happened next, she was ready for it. Fall in love with immortal vampires and werewolves in this paranormal fantasy series.

"The wise learn many things from their enemies." My name's Atlanta Skolar, and I'm a huntress. No, not the vampire-slaying type, or the ever-brooding Winchester brothers from Supernatural. I live a relatively normal life - during the day at least. I go to school, have friends, and try my best to survive Uncle James' horrendous cooking. However, the nights in the city of Calen are not always calm. There's a thin veil between our world and the world of monsters, the good and the bad. I'm one of the few who stands between the two.

What if courage was your only option? Some days are good days. On other days, your pureblood protector gets captured, your father is going to get drained nearly dry by rogue vampires, and you've been turned into some sort of weird vampire hybrid no one's ever seen before. Oh, and no one knows just which of your supposed allies are actually trying to kill you. You know, normal Tuesday stuff.

Rebekah and Jamie are happy but discontent. Sometimes it feels like everything important has already happened, that the peace their parents fought so hard to bring them is just a strange limbo they can't break out of. They want adventure, they want to make memories of their own. When a pair of new kids show up at their school, it looks like they might finally have their chance. It isn't long before the twins open up to the mysterious new strangers. Sharing secrets they thought they'd never tell. Asking questions they never could have imagined.

Kaiden is finding it hard as the leader of the Shifters. He is called to a more simpler life, but cannot give up his duties. He has to try to bring peace to all the different Shifter Tribes if there is any chance at making peace between the different races. He is almost at the end of his tether, when a mysterious stranger confides in him that there is a way to unite the tribes - but it is very dangerous and nearly impossible.
