I escaped the Institute with my partners in crime, and now we’re going to make the world pay. We’ve never had more fun than when we’re out on the streets, committing crimes and robbing banks. My husband and I have sworn to become the greatest supernatural crime lords the magical world has ever seen, and we plan to make good on that dark promise. I have thousands at my command, but even in the midst of my rule, I fear Charlie is taking things too far. Reality is beginning to bend, and I’ve decided to craft this world to what I decide it should be.

Nothing can scare you when you’ve already died. Caught between the realm of the living and the dead, I’m not the same person I used to be. I’m darker, crazier… and nothing’s going to stop me from ruling over this prison. The merfolk key is linked to a legendary assassin, and Kallie might be the way to find it. If we’re going to save the Elves, my friends and I will have to resort to unsavory methods. I’m getting justice for my past, and taking revenge no matter what the consequences.

Ava-Marie is the most powerful supernatural that's ever lived...and the most dangerous. The only elemental who can cast both Fire and Water, she's sent to the Darke Institute for Supernatural Offenders for her crimes. Inside this magical penitentiary, monsters roam free and most inmates don't come out alive. Charlie's at the Institute because of Ava-Marie, but he's far from innocent. After losing his sight and growing up on the streets, he knows exactly how to outlast the gangs and fight clubs inside the prison.

Enter a dark world where magic wages war and romance is deadly. Attend mystical colleges, indulge in forbidden romances, tend to fantastic creatures, and cast incredible spells in this four-book omnibus. These stories depict themes of found family, disability representation, and love that creates miracles.

With a singular voice in the narrative-bending tradition of Kafka, Cortázar, and Bulgakov, Lima speaks to Brazilian-American immigrant experiences—of ambition, fear, heartbreak, and home—with equal parts warmth and agitation. Strange, intimate, haunted, and hungry, Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil is a powerful experience: once listened to, you’re as much a part of the stories as they’re a part of you.

Even before they were transformed into Gorgons, Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale were unique among their immortal family. Curious about mortals and their lives, Medusa and her sisters entered the human world in search of a place to belong, yet quickly found themselves at the perilous center of a dangerous Olympian rivalry and learned—too late—that a god's love is a violent one.

My name is Ava-Marie, and I love living on the dark side. Getting into trouble is kind of my thing, but one night, I take revenge too far. I’m sentenced to a reform school for magical delinquents... though really, it’s a prison. As the only supernatural who can control both fire and water, I’m already a target. To make matters worse, I literally share a soul with Charlie, a sexy inmate from the wrong side of the tracks. Surviving at the Institute is almost as risky as falling in love.

Unfortunately, those jubilant shouted-out wishes over my role as queen of the Kingdom of Aikyam were short-lived. All because three pesky kings stand in my way. King Levi in the east. King Teodoro in the south. And the rebel king in the west, Atlas. They want my crown. My throne. My birthright. Instead of trying to dismantle their plots to overthrow me, I do the unexpected. I offer up marriage instead. A trap of my own making that will ensure I remain on top. Make no mistake. There can only be one ruler of this kingdom—me.

I was always good at being bad, which is why I’m the last person you’d expect to save the world. Unfortunately, I wasn’t given a choice. I’ve learned my prophecy has something to do with the Elves, an incredible magical people that went extinct a century ago. At a paranormal prison where evil runs free, there’s more to discover about the Elves than I ever expected. As my investigation continues, I receive messages from the gods, who seem certain I’m the magical world’s only hope for survival.

Sebastian Pana is a sin-eater, a shaman-like figure who can absolve the dead of their transgressions before they move on to the afterlife. But when a tear in the fabric of reality allows hideous beasts to invade the small arctic town he calls home, Sebastian must wage battle with them the only way he knows how: by unleashing the power of sin itself. Thus, the stage is set for an epic confrontation between the forces of good and evil, in which a mother monster strives to save the dying land around her.

Fiona managed to save her town from demons. Now there’s a bounty on her head. When Fiona consumed the demon king’s aether, she half expected that it would kill her. Now she’s stuck with Lord Balor’s dark energy ravaging her soul. Gabriel has left Mountain Shadow, and the town has been invaded by ghost hunters and the crew of a hit reality-TV show. To make matters worse, Fiona’s fight at Busk Fest attracted the attention of the most powerful hunters in the Brotherhood. They’ve put a bounty on Fiona’s head, making her a target for freelance hunters.

A Brazilian journalist’s investigation unearths the story of a network of people responsible for hiding The Angel of Death, the infamous Nazi doctor who fled to South America and escaped justice for over thirty years. Josef Mengele, known worldwide for unimaginably cruel human experiments and for sending thousands of people to the gas chambers at Auschwitz, was a fugitive in South America for thirty-four years after World War II, sought by the Israeli secret service and Nazi hunters.

The plan was simple: Subdue my would-be usurpers with a marriage proposal and guarantee my sovereignty. Little did I know that my reign should have been the least of my worries. Levi won my heart and carved his name inside it for all to see. Teodoro conquered my body, bending it to his will and calling it his own. But Atlas… Atlas wants my soul—to conquer and destroy. He wants to ruin me. And what's worse… I have half a mind to let him.

Things at the Institute look darker than ever. I've lost all my friends, my hope, and the person I love. To make matters worse, the prison is planning something nefarious. Experiments are being performed on inmates at the Institute, to satisfy the Warden's craving to find a demigod. I've sworn to uncover the Warden's plans, and go underground to learn just what he's plotting. Unfortunately, I can't find answers without putting my soul on the line. And the consequences are going to propel me straight to the afterlife.

When I travel to the small town of Sunset Ridge for the reading of my great aunt’s will, I have no idea that my sisters and I are about to inherit a lodge. Or that my rugged Alaskan neighbor is the caretaker I’ll be spending all my time with. Falling for Ford Harris would be unwise. I’m supposed to get the lodge listed for sale and leave. Not to mention that he hasn’t dated anyone since his wife died four years ago. The little sister he’s super protective over let it slip that he swore off ever falling in love again.

Fiona defeated a dangerous enemy, but she left his bargain with the demons unfulfilled. Her town is under supernatural siege, and its mortal inhabitants are terrified.

On the night the traitor was killed, a dangerous murderer disappeared. Fiona just wants things to go back to normal, but the town and her coven are in turmoil. When Fiona is attacked by a demonic wolf, she and Gabriel discover a tear in the veil. Demons are escaping from the Underworld in droves, killing their mortal hosts. The police are baffled by the mysterious deaths, and Fiona is the only one who can stop them. The trouble is that Fiona doesn’t know the first thing about slaying demons. To harness the power that is her birthright, she’s going to need Gabriel’s help.

The Grimes sisters aren’t normal—even by witches’ standards. For weeks, Fiona has been having chilling visions of death, and Eleanor sees restless spirits nearly everywhere she goes. It doesn’t help that Mountain Shadow is a strange place to begin with, where rumors of curses fly as fast as saltwater taffy on a warm summer day. When a string of gruesome murders rocks the small town, Fiona and the rest of her coven begin to worry that a fellow witch may be the killer. Even worse? A witch hunter has just moved in next door, and he suspects the coven.

It’s been 13 years since I last stepped foot in Sunset Ridge, Alaska. After my first love joined the army and left me behind, I swore I’d never look back. But now my career is up in smoke, and I’ve been left with no other choice than to help my sisters run the inn we inherited until my name is cleared. No one warned me that the man who broke my heart was back in town. Or that he was one of our guests.

Sophie Whitmore fled with her daughter Caroline to Sunset Ridge, Alaska, months after her now ex-husband left her for another woman. She’s worked hard to rebuild her life in the new town alongside her sisters, running a lodge the three inherited more than a year ago.
