In every century, a mortal is chosen to inherit the power of the Ashborn, which is a strong elemental spirit tied by blood by the ruling empire. In this century, the Ashborn chooses Kaelra, an unranked soldier from the outer provinces, instead of a highborn candidate. Her unwanted gifts incite riots, betrayal and a manhunt. She is assigned an reluctant "handler" who goes by the name Commander Thorne, the empire's most feared enforcer and also the prince's bastard half-brother. Cold, calculating, and utterly loyal to the crown, Thorne considers Kaelra a threat to be eliminated... until her power starts saving more lives than his sword ever could.

Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.

Not entirely. When her best friend vanishes without a trace, leaving no memory of her behind, Amelia comes face to face with the terrifying truth: something dark is hunting her. And this time, surviving won't be enough. The shadows are closing in. People she loves are disappearing. And no one is safe - not even Ezra, the boy she loved enough to let in. But when the monsters come, Amelia will have to decide how far she's willing to go to protect what little she has left. Because the creatures that took Kayla are coming for her next. And they don't just want to erase her. They want to claim her.
