Blood defines who one is. And for Tynan Lyall, it tells him he's cursed. Tynan is to be the next Alpha with his brother, Soren, as his General and beta. His father has done all he can to mold Tynan into the perfect, merciless wolf he can be, so he can lead the pack with claws and teeth. And for his first mission, his father sends him to the palace under cover to infiltrate the crown's inner circle, and gut them from the inside. Lyrien Willow is the daughter of a councilman, not a general or king. She never thought about being on the front lines of a war, preferring to be the mind rather than brawn. She's studied her whole life about the Wolf-Blooded, and is determined to rid the world of the cursed beings. When the two cross paths, Tynan begins to see that maybe not all humans are bad, and Lyrien grows dangerously closer to discovering Tynan's secret, all the while a forbidden bond takes root between them. The blood moon is coming, and a full on war is drawing nearer. Tynan has weeks to figure out a plan to protect his family, be the Alpha he needs to be, and prevent a ravaging war from breaking out between human and the cursed. A wolf can't be caged, and if it is, it always gets out. And when it does, it's a beast to truly be feared. Best Rankings- #1 in wolfblood #2 in wolfsbane

And when she sends her chief to extinguish the resistance growing under Adira's name, Adira knows her five years of hiding her identity and secret is coming to an end.

One sister held captive. The other locked in her home. War's game is playing. Adira Hawk has been held captive by Maeve for seven months. How much longer she doesn't know. The only thing that's on her mind is survive, keep Kai alive, and pray they both can make it through in one piece. Trapped in her own home, Lyn Hawk is trying to balance both leading the group on her own and keeping the village safe, all the while trying to find where Adira is being held and save her. But with eight people in her home-seven and a half, if being technical-the simple act of focusing is proving to be harder than understanding what's happening to her. When Brock begins to show where his loyalties lie, Lyn finds the people of Berk are in danger by both him and Maeve. And with the disappearance of dragons, including the Alpha's sister, Lyn realizes that the rescue for Adira will take longer than she wanted. Both Adira and Lyn have to fight their own battles in the war, but when the sisters are torn apart, will they be strong enough to endure and survive them? ---------------------------- This story is geared towards an older audience.

Good morning, I'm Kalliope Aoidós (yes, spelled like this: Καλλιόπη Ἀοιδός... pretty impressive, right?), Technical Account Manager at a company in... well, I'm sure you don't really need my CV for this. Let's try again. Hey, I'm Kalliope Aoidós, and I've got a little problem. Okay, more like an incurable, family-heritage problem. Technically, it's genetic-something my family has been conveniently passing down for centuries. One of my great-great-great-great-grandparents thought it was totally appropriate to insult his muse, calling her a "good-for-nothing" and a "sellout." How charming, right? Too bad that muse was THE Muse after whom I'm named. Apparently, she's not exactly the warm and fuzzy type. So why on earth do I have the honor of carrying the name of the one who cursed my entire family tree? Oh, that was my grandmother's brilliant idea. In a way, they "sacrificed" me to her by giving me her name, hoping it would change her mind about the curse. Spoiler alert: It didn't. So here I am, just like hundreds of my ancestors, stuck in the same lovely swamp. I'm a Book Jumper or, as my grandmother (who has a flair for dramatic epithets) likes to call me, a βιβλιοποδητής, which basically means "walker of books." And these are my stories. Or, more accurately, my delightful misadventures. Copyright 2025 AnemoneMarino. All Rights Reserved.
