Shifters never mingle with humans. They reside high in the mountains venturing below only once a year for the night of the Red Moon. They invade the human villages below, take and kill who they want, but they never leave any witnesses. Not before Freya. Season 1 of Cloud Piercer ***** 18-year-old Freya Raune will do anything to find out why the shifters took her brother. And that includes searching for the deserters, an elusive rebel group determined to end the shifters' rule. But as the next Red Moon approaches and the mysterious yet charismatic Killian Li sweeps into her village, Freya is forced to be more careful. Those caught fraternizing with the deserters are murdered, and Killian's arrival is a reminder that nobody can be trusted--even those Freya is closest to.

Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

She hates the way he looks at her, like he already owns her. Sorin Stravelli spent her life avoiding her father's arranged deals, escaping each one by chance or chaos. But when she finally snaps and defies him publicly, her punishment comes in the form of Bruno. Dark. Quiet. Possessive. He's not what she expected. He's worse. And her body can't tell the difference between danger and desire. She swears she'll never submit. He knew she was his from the moment she walked in the room. ⸻ Bruno's POV: Sorin Stravelli came to me with fire in her eyes and hatred in her voice. She didn't want me. That's fine. I want her enough for the both of us. She can curse me, fight me, run from me-but her body tells me a different story. Because from the second she was offered to me, she was mine. And I don't let go of what's mine. TRIGGER WARNING: - Dark romance - Mafia control/possession - Physically abusive father - Violence and Guns - Murder - Sexual smutty content

Her only help comes from the last person she wants it from: Demwyn, the newly crowned King. Cold. Unyielding. Bound by duty. Forced into her life by obligation, not choice.

Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.
