After the war, London is in chaos. Packs are battling it out for dominance in the streets, lycans are killing each other in illegal fight dens. The Royals are being murdered. All Juliet wants to do is forget - forget Sebastien, forget the war, forget everything she's learned about her parentage - but fate has other plans. At 21, she's the sole guardian of her royal, half-brother Theo: a boy she almost killed but is now sworn to protect at all costs. But Theo's blood has painted a shiny target on his back and Juliet knows it'll take a miracle to keep him safe, which means dragging herself back to the old motley crew, once led by Sebastien, for help. But the war has changed a lot more than pack territories in London and protecting Theo might come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay... Like her life.

But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel. In an attempt to free herself, she acquires an asset in the form of Runner and finds herself always at the edge, for if he survives it means freedom for both, but if he dies...

Samantha wishes she were someone else. Anastasia, to be exact. Anastasia doesn't sit in the corner and read because she's too shy to talk to anyone. She doesn't keep trying and failing. Anastasia slays dragons. Of course, Anastasia is only a character in Samantha's story. That's what Sam does, she writes. She writes to keep the monsters at bay. She creates new worlds to escape into. And she writes to block out the cranky ramblings of her jilted father, who refuses to acknowledge the woman that ran out on them years ago. But Samantha finds herself thrown into a not so magical adventure when she discovers her long lost mother has been in town all along. She has questions that need answering, and a few arrow- accusations... she'd like to sling. But there are obstacles to storming the castle, her father for one. Either Samantha makes this her happily ever after, or it all ends in tears... Either way, the story is about to change.

"Who will we send after the little witch?" The room went silent as one of them stood up from her throne, pacing forward. Her skirts flowed over the marble floors as silently as a whisper. Every eye was drawn to her. "I will go after her and make her my slave." She revealed flawless white teeth in a playful smile. "It will be fun. Like a game." The other Gods relaxed, confident that Alice Cunningham didn't stand a chance. After all, no one could resist Aphrodite.

With hunters, rogue wolves, humans and packs bearing down on her, Mira almost regrets leaving the Yellowstone wolf pack three years ago. Every single one of them has different reasons for pursuing her, but so far, no one has been able to catch up with her. She has the scars to prove that not all of her escapes had been easy. After a particularly grueling night of escapes, she finds herself at the wrong end of the hunters’ guns. When one of the hunters steps too close, she grabs his knife. A hostage is her best chance for survival. With his knife at his throat, she slips away once again, but this time she doesn’t get away alone. Despite her warnings, she has no doubt that the hunters will follow her and he’ll be the perfect leverage. Slowly, they both see a different side to the other. As they reveal their pasts, new challenges present themselves. Challenges that could either make or break what they just found in each other.
