After a night of wonder under flowers and fireworks, Penelope Featherington thought she was on top of the world. Things seemed to go perfectly for once in her life. Until, her best friend discovers something she's been hiding for years. And to top it all off she overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear. And for the first time in her life Penelope truly feels like she's alone in the world. Penelope must look inside herself and decide once and for all if she will continue her usual wallflower ways or if it's time for her to step into the spotlight and claim the life she has always dreamed of having. Colin Bridgerton was, in his own estimation, perfectly happy being single. He enjoyed the occasional dance with the beautiful debutantes and his charming ways lead him to be quite a flirt. However he knew deep down it meant nothing. He was not in search of a wife, in fact he wasn't even ready to entertain the idea of finding one. He did however find himself involved in a rather deep and genuine friendship with one, Miss Penelope Featherington. But when his own foolish remarks threaten to ruin there relationship forever, he must decide whether he can let her go or if there is maybe something he hadn't seen in her before. Could Prince Charming (or rather Mr. Charming) truly set aside his rakish ways for one wallflower? Or will the secrets she's hiding tear them even farther apart? What happens when a wallflower blossoms?

It came during the most desperate of times, after a reign of bloodshed. It thundered on in spite of terror, hopelessness and the great chain of inequity. It shattered shackles and in its momentum gathered all in its wake. It was hope. In the new era, it rewrote the narrative and finally set the world free. Yet in the new era, order will be disrupted and an old enemy of the Guardians, the exile, will destroy their sanctum and wreak hell upon their lands. Their only hope lies in the form of a child from an advanced race of beings, and she will need to be trained.

Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*

It's been four years since the Zombie Apocalypse destroyed human civilization. Billions of people were either killed or turned into one of the blood-thirsty monsters doomed to plague the earth, killing any human left alive. A band of misfits attempts to survive together at the end of the world, forming new friendships and family ties in a compound built by their leader years before the fall. But the sudden arrival of a strange new survivor threatens to upend all of their progress. He's an amnesiac they found in the woods, covered in blood and wearing nothing but a few scraps of clothing with the name tag 'Dan' as the only clue to his identity. There's something off about him, and the longer he stays around, the more it seems that he's not entirely human. When he walks away without a scratch from a freak accident that should have killed him, fears rise among the colonists now that it seems Dan is immortal. No one knows what to make of his mysterious past or his unusual powers. But Dan discovers early on that he's not the only one with unnatural talents. Their leader, Jonathan, has been keeping a secret for over twenty years-he knew that the Apocalypse was coming. And now, he's seen something else on the horizon, and he doesn't know if he'll be ready for it in time. The colonists are forced to make a choice: stay hidden away behind the walls of their Colony for the rest of their lives or go out and fight to take back their world. Strange developments come out in the case of Dan's identity, the truth about the zombie virus comes to light, and nothing will ever be the same again.
