As the path grows more dangerous, fate brings her face to face with Joel Miller-a smuggler with a reputation, a hardened heart, and more in common with her than she's ready to admit.

When the radios go silent, survival begins. Staff Sergeant Cole and his squad were sent to guard a highway checkpoint-Amist a full scale invasion of the United States ,. But nine days have passed. No resupply. No orders. No contact. And no idea what the hell is going on. When Cole ventures back to base with a single teammate, what they find is worse than abandonment-the base is empty, the streets are silent, and something has torn through the soldiers stationed there. Then they find corporal Hallet . He swears civilians turned feral. That he saw them eating each other . Now Cole is racing against the setting sun, searching the ruins of his hometown for his missing wife and daughter. What he doesn't know is that the nightmare hasn't passed-it's waiting. Watching. Hungry. And night is falling fast. "Hey everyone, this is my first time trying to write a story. It's nowhere near finished, but I just wanted some honest feedback.

Rhea Vale was supposed to be a thief, a skilled, quiet shadow hired for one last impossible job: steal a forgotten relic from the ruins of the Spire. But the object she uncovers is no relic. It's a shard of the shattered moon, pulsing with divine memory, and it binds to her. Not just in body, but in soul. Suddenly, Rhea becomes the most wanted woman in the Drift. Hunted by divine assassins, shadow cults, and the Tribunal that once ruled the gods, she finds herself protected by Zael, a disgraced general haunted by his past. As Rhea struggles to understand the power she never asked for, long forgotten truths resurface...

Tarah is no princess. She's the dragon shifter tasked with the princess's protection. Forced together from a young age, Tarah and Cherry have become friends closer than sisters. But Cherry is trapped in her tower, and Tarah has been forced to become a killer to protect her. Their relationship is anything but simple. Marton is a young scholar who dreams of proving that magic still exists in the world. When he comes into the girls' lives, he upsets their routine existence and reveals what's been going on in the lands outside their keep, including the legends that are told of the fearsome dragon who kidnapped a princess. Someone has been spreading lies in the Five Kingdoms, and Tarah and her friends must go on a quest to find out who, and why. The truths they uncover have the power to rewrite the course of history, if only they are brave enough to act. In the midst of a quest for the fate of her world, Tarah grapples with her codependent friendship with the princess, her frighteningly new chemistry with Marton, and the fact that the king, and a lot of other people, want her dead.

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?
