For centuries, Seraphina was a living Saint, a vessel of divine light gifted by the land's guardian dragon. Her touch could mend any wound, her presence a balm against the world's darkness. But when a rival kingdom slew the dragon and stole its power, her light was extinguished. Now, blamed for the tragedy and stripped of her divinity, she lives in self-imposed exile as a humble village herbalist, her past a ghost that haunts her every waking moment. ​But the past does not stay buried. A magical plague, born from the corrupted heart of the dead dragon, is seeping back into the world. It is a sickness of decay, a creeping blight that no mortal medicine can stop. To save the people she has come to care for, Seraphina must confront the source of her greatest failure. She is not expecting to find him there. ​Ash is the Ashen Phoenix, a terrifying omen of ruin whose nature is not to create, but to consume. Wreathed in life-draining grey flames, he is a being of endings and decay. He is also the key to stopping the plague. Bound by an ancient vow to the dragon she failed, Ash offers Seraphina a chilling deal: his power in exchange for her company on a perilous journey to the heart of the corruption. A healer who can no longer heal and a destroyer who brings only silence-together they are the world's only hope. But can light be found in the ashes of a fallen Saint, and can life bloom in the heart of a being made of death?

Moonlight Awakening - Book One of The Moonlight Series. At Blackwood University, vampire mythology is just another subject in the Paranormal Studies department-stories born from fear, folklore, and imagination. But for Dorian Nightfall, those stories are painfully wrong. For more than a thousand years, Dorian has walked the world as the last vampire alive. His coven was destroyed centuries ago by a secret order of hunters, leaving him alone to hide among humans while the centuries pass. Immortal, brilliant, and impossibly mysterious, he has perfected the art of blending into the background. Until Cassandra Moon walks into his classroom. Cassandra has spent her life studying the supernatural. Raised in the shadow of Salem, Massachusetts, she believes ancient myths are more than stories. When she challenges Dorian during a heated lecture about vampire lore inspired by works like Dracula, she doesn't realize she's provoking the only person in the room who knows the truth. As their intellectual rivalry turns into something deeper, Cassandra begins investigating the quiet, enigmatic student who seems to know far too much about history. What she discovers makes no sense. Dorian never appears clearly in daylight photographs. His knowledge spans centuries. And every full moon... he disappears. When Cassandra uncovers the truth-that Dorian is the last vampire-their growing love awakens a dangerous secret buried in his blood. Now hunted by the ancient Order of the Dawn, Dorian faces an impossible choice: protect the woman he loves... or lose her to the monster he might become. Because under the moon, even love may not be enough to stop the hunger.
