Forced to partner with smugglers, Ranger must reconcile his violent past with his emerging future to save the Hiberverse.

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

In an effort to obtain sanity on herself, after killing her best friend, Eris is forced to move out of her hometown where El Rey Muerto takes her under his watchful eye. Not completely trusting the young man, she finds herself in an effort to twist his arm backwards before he finds out anything else about her. But there is a larger plan in action. El Rey Muerto isn't all he is cracked up to be, and secrets about Eris and her family still have yet to be revealed. With Eris's and everyone else's lives on the brink of devastation, with the last full-blooded and vengeful necromancer on the loose, they either have to work together to save themselves or find a way to conjoin and save the innocent within the New World.
