This is a stand-alone novel. However, if you are reading the series, read it as book 2.5 for timeline order. After inheriting her grandmother's gift shop, Amber is trying to rebuild her life. This means bills, debt, and a life trajectory into hoards of cluttered trinkets that she thinks are nothing more than cheap gimmicks. If that wasn't bad enough, her dreams have started to feel a little too real lately, and when she wakes up cradling an impossibly ancient artefact, she's about to discover a world of magic that couldn't possibly exist. It's a good job that one of her local customers, an enigmatic stranger whose eyes burn with secrets and whose presence crackles with dangerous allure, seems to know what's happening. The problem is that he seems to be the craziest thing about it all, especially when he boldly claims his life mission is to protect her. His intensity leaves her bewildered and undeniably drawn to him. Each encounter is charged with an irresistible magnetism, and she is unsure if being awake is even real anymore. Unfortunately, Amber wishes she knew what he was supposed to protect her from. Before finding out, she must figure out the secret of staying awake long enough. ~ Set in the world of Iridescent ~

Years ago, the Trolls were banished into the Nether, a void of evil and darkness between the magical realms. With their greed and treachery locked away, peace has reigned throughout the worlds. But not for nineteen-year-old witch, Aramina. Being discovered to be a non-magic-a witch with waning powers- has cost her everything. A place among her people, her future as the next High Mistress of Magic, and the man she loves. Determined to live a life without magic, Aramina's plan is foiled when Roane, a man of many secrets and tattoos thwarts her kidnapping. He introduces her to a world where non-magics are being hunted and sent into the Nether. She will never be safe unless she finds out why the Trolls need non-magics and who is smuggling them into the Nether. To get her answer, Aramina will be forced to face an evil that's had a chance to grow, and to defeat it, she'll need a different kind of magic. The kind she'll only find within herself. That is if she can finally face her demons, and if Roane's secret doesn't get her killed first.

In a quiet Texas suburb, life is calm and peaceful, and that's just like Dina Demille likes it. But now something with long claws and savage teeth is hunting on the night streets, leaving blood on the manicured lawns. As an innkeeper, Dina knows she shouldn't get involved. With her neighbors' lives at stake, she must make a choice: to remain neutral and safe or to risk everything, her magic inn, the safety of her guests, and her life to face an enemy unlike any she had ever expected to meet.

When tragedy befalls the Unseelie Court and Celandine is the only witness, she is forced to seek help from the only magical creature powerful enough to help clear her name. Unfortunately, the Druid Leofstan would rather she were dead. Bound by a magic neither of them understands, the lines between hate, hunger, and something dangerously human begin to blur as the two enemies discover that even together, they might not be strong enough to save what really matters most. The only problem is that Celandine is still trying to figure out just what or who that is... Too bad she's not in a rush to decide. After all, creating misfortune is mouthwateringly maniacal.

-Ambys Favourite Paranormal Novel 2024- - Winner of the Tricolor Triennial Awards Paranormal 2023 - Keeping her true nature hidden was supposed to be simple. Go to work, pay taxes, don't eat too many humans. Easy enough. But when Celandine Doukas crosses paths with the Supernatural Council's head of mysteries, and a necromancer with godlike ambitions, secrecy goes up in smoke. As tensions escalate and suspicion grows, Celandine finds herself drawn to the secretive Druid Leofstan, who is unafraid to challenge her facade and leave her grappling with the consequences of her actions. The only hope she has of proving her innocence is to hunt the true creature lurking within the darkness, but it's about to find out Celandine's claws are a lot sharper. Luckily, she isn't afraid to leave a few more bodies along the way, as being diabolical is deliciously delightful...
