Hell, fears three queens. The rest fear Kaelith Veyr. Born a half demon and treated like dirt her entire life, Kaelith only enters the Infernal Palace for one reason: survival. She needs coin to someday save her younger siblings from the nobles who own them. Instead, she accidentally catches the attention of the most dangerous beings in Hell. Queen Astarielle, daughter of Lucifer and ruler of the Seven Rings. General Seraveth, the cold and terrifying strategist of the Fifth Ring. General Nyxoriel, the violent commander feared across infernal battlefields. Kaelith is supposed to deliver food. Nothing more. But after calming the queens' newborn daughter when nobody else could, she is dragged into the royal nursery and the center of palace life itself. Now surrounded by monstrous nobles, infernal beasts, political schemes, and immortal queens who watch her far too closely, Kaelith must survive a court where weakness gets you eaten alive. Unfortunately for the court, Kaelith is not weak. She carries knives like other people carry jewelry. Infernal hounds obey her without training. Children trust her instantly. And anyone cruel enough to threaten those under her protection tends to disappear. As ancient powers awaken and human kingdoms continue invading Hell to reclaim their dead, Kaelith slowly discovers the truth about herself: She is not merely half demon. And the queens may not be the only monsters hiding claws behind beautiful smiles. A dark fantasy romance filled with infernal politics, possessive queens, deadly family bonds, slow-burn poly yuri romance, found family, terrifying power, and one emotionally unavailable knife-hoarding disaster trying very hard not to accidentally become royalty.

When the sun goes down, the gravestone statues in Willow Hills Cemetery come to life--including Gretta. As a granite guardian of the dead, it's her job to make sure her charge--the snarky, hot-headed, lesbian spirit Quinn Rivera--crosses over and finds spiritual peace. But that's a little hard to do when Quinn's twin brother Jason blames himself for her premature death. And for Quinn to agree to cross over, he must learn the truth of her accidental passing and the bipolar episodes that led her to shut him out beforehand.

Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual.
