KILL ONE TWIN, FREE THE KINGDOM. On the island of Wyrith, death has a name: Morana. Gifted - or cursed - as the realm's last necromancer and most lethal assassin, her power is a whisper from the grave. However, even she struggles to bridle the magic clawing under her skin. Life breathes through her twin sister, Ilyana. The urge to heal even the smallest of wounds fuels the tips of her fingers, yet not even her blessed magic can bring back the family she's lost. All that's left for her to inherit is a duty of isolation and sacrifice. When an archaic necromancer curse awakens, sealing in Wyrith and taking lives one by one, the sisters face a harrowing choice. After a decade apart, will they unite to unravel the ancient magic before it's too late? Or will secrets and enemies shred their last hope for Wyrith, leaving nothing but an island of corpses?

Taylor West is the epitome of self-reliance. Or she must be. Relationships are fickle. Despite finally enrolling in her dream studies and thriving in them, her social life is only skin-deep. When she finds out that her so-called boyfriend is a selfish cheater, her chronic condition flares up again. Walking around as if somebody had thrown itching powder all over you is not fun. Due to the mental strain, Taylor resorts to medication - but pills can only do so much. If that wasn't bad enough, she keeps running into Killian, whose annoying ways are starting to get under her skin. When a mysterious stalker shows up and things take a dangerous turn, Killian's help might be exactly what she needs.

When a Dragon-born soldier - an enemy of the Kingdom of Aerla - falls from the sky with his wings torn to ribbons, this impulse is no different. Dragon-born Larc has been banished from the Nusal Empire as the war between the humans and the dragons begins to grow. With the intention to seek revenge on his people for exiling him, he asks the help of the humans to destroy the powerful artefact his queen has been searching for. Is it the right decision for Zofia to trust the enemy that grips the Kingdom of Aerla in the throes of war? Or should she have never healed him when he fell from the sky?
