A man she's never met before in her life, stern and unfair, he is almost never at home and forces his family to move whenever his job calls for it. For three years Amelia has looked after herself and her younger brother Hayden but when she tranfers to Riverwood High everything changes. She finds herself friends there despite the efforts of her stepsister. One teacher in particular takes an interest in her, the 25 year old Nathaniel Flynn. The first time he laid eyes on her he knew, he just had to have her. At eighteen Amelia has to look after her baby brother, hold her own against a stepmother and mean stepsister and battle feelings she's never felt before. After all... Dating your teacher is forbidden, not that Nathaniel seems to care about that. Add into the equation that both her new found friends and teacher aren't who they say they are... Their diet consisting mainly of blood.

I died because I was too lazy to dodge the car coming my way, and so I never breathed again. Then, I woke up in a small child's body; Phoenix Elan, the villainess of a popular novel I once read. The right thing to do at a time like this is, avoiding the main characters right? '... but I'm too lazy, I can't do that- it's too tiring for me.' So, I just lived my life, & seems that caused the novel to turn really strange... 'You don't have to do anything, I'll do everything for you my lovely Phoenix,' says the villain who was supposed to be obsessed with the female lead. 'Phoenix looks pretty no matter what,' defends the woman who was to be the cause of my death, the female lead. 'Even if there's a single thorn in your path, I'll move it. If it's for you, I'll wipe the whole nation down to the ground,' says the male lead who should've hated me. Seriously, there's something wrong with the protagonists, I swear! Warning; the cover isn't my property!!!

Women have no place... Except in the hands of fate. As the firstborn son of General Calloway, Mera's twin brother, Luke, has trained his entire life to inherit the magic in his bloodline and serve his kingdom in a vicious, century-long war. In a society with no regard for women, she has grown up so deep in his shadow that she does not know herself beyond him, in a light of her own. The powers are unpredictable. Once the child hits adolescence, they appear randomly, and her family, having waited nearly a decade, are beyond impatient. But the Gifting is close. The seer has foretold it. Just as the prophecy predicts that the new generation will be the one to end the conflict once and for all. Mera has waited as anxiously as the entire kingdom for her brother's awakening, for him to fulfill his destiny as the Champion, drawing on nineteen years of ruthless training to bring a swift end to a terrible war. She cannot wait to watch him become a hero, a victor, the saviour of the land. Until the day she wakes up with the powers instead. ~ 1st Place in The Aurora Awards: Fantasy category

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.

Skylar pledged her life to protect her homeland, but she didn't expect that she would have to resort to marrying the king's brother and using her wits instead of a sword. ***** Skylar is not a typical noble lady. Captain to her own company, she feels more at home with a sword in hand than in the ballroom. Her whole life gets turned upside down when she is forced to marry Lord General Gawyn Gryphonheart for the alliance.

Skylar, with her fighting experience, might be the only one who sees it coming. If only her husband trusted her enough to heed her advice.
