She was bullied throughout her early childhood and sent away across the country for true reasons unknown to her. She returns home six years later, a changed woman. A warrior. Ashton Summers is the only heir to the Silver Moon Pack. He knows who he is and makes a point of it. He has power and he uses it. He carries a persona that makes everyone feel inferior. When Cecelia finds out who she has for a mate, she immediately despises him. Or so she thought. When Rivers and Summers are thrown together, the calm is bound to be disrupted. You know what they say, 'rival packs don't mix'. Will these soulmates get past all the problems and find their way to each other or is their love doomed from the start? Well, none of this probably matters because there is danger lurking on the horizon, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A blast from the past that Cecelia is unaware of. When she finds out, she fights. But does she stand a chance? What will she have to sacrifice to save herself and her loved ones? Can she? It's a tale full of magic, supernatural, love, and lots more. ********** Started: 13th May 2021 Finished: 15th July 2021 (excluding Bonus Chapters) ********** Best tags so far:- # 3/211k in humor (29.8.21) # 9/196k in werewolf (25.8.21) # 10/2.2M in love(27.8.21) **********

**My debut novel is available for pre-order with all major online retailers from 11/03/2019** This is just the first five chapters, which are also available on my website: www.bmmatsen.com Two days before the start of senior year, Emma Duvall is attacked by creatures that hunt from the shadows. A hidden world that exists within her own, explodes around her as she is faced with menacing creatures of the deep, ugly venomous creatures with voices so beautiful they bring humans to their knees, and a wicked beast with eyes the color of blood. When she touches them, their dark powers flow into her, awakening a hunger in her that had laid dormant for seventeen years. The darkness is seductive when it deals in rage. And rage is exactly what she needs to survive. Not only must she keep her powers a secret, she must also contend with the new boy in school. He is both dangerous and unnaturally handsome, drawing her in like a magnet. What she can't explain is why being close to him causes her physical pain. And those that hunt the monsters of the night-the Giborim-sworn to protect the humans, find that Emma may be just as monstrous. Except the striking, centuries-old, Blaze, who seeks revenge for the mother and sister he lost. Emma will do anything to impress him and earn his trust. Including using herself as bait to ensnare the final piece of Blaze's vengeance. War between the two races is looming on the horizon as the wicked creatures of nightmares seek to enslave humankind. When Emma is thrown in the middle as the ultimate weapon, she must allow herself to be wielded...just long enough to save the world. For when the raging fires of her wrath are unleashed, the world with be painted in the ashes of her enemies.

Fear the dark. Bar the doors. Don't breathe a word. Wait for the Hooded Men to save you. The people of Nictaven live in fear of the night; governed by magic no one save a few can control, in a land plagued by demons and cannibal tribes, and isolated from all other worlds for centuries, they're right to. Only the Unspoken, a secretive guild of warriors linked with the land and its magic, provide any safety when darkness falls. For centuries, it has stayed like this. But in an abandoned crypt worlds away, Jordan Haverford is about to change that. It wasn't quite the holiday he had been hoping for. Plunged into a world where who you are and what you believe can kill you, a world of demons and knives in the dark and wars fought from behind the doors of the rich, Jordan's gentle Oxford upbringing isn't quite sufficient preparation. Instantly a pawn in a deadly game, separated from his sister and watched from the shadows by an assassin with a vendetta, he finds himself in the company of an Unspoken who has an uncanny knack for finding the Gifted - and Jordan can't seem to get rid of him.

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion.
