Hollow Bones She left with bruises she couldn't explain and a son who'd learned to read a room before he learned to read words. Starting over in a town she doesn't know, Kailea Mai is holding everything together with nothing left to spare. She has one rule - don't let anyone in. She kept it for two years. Then Theo Buckley paid for her son's stolen chocolate, smiled like it was nothing, and walked away without asking for a single thing in return. He's patient in a way she doesn't trust yet. Steady in a way she's never seen. And Elio already thinks he hung the moon, which is the most terrifying thing of all. The last thing Kailea needs is someone new to trust. The last thing she expected was someone who made trusting feel less like a risk and more like breathing. But her past doesn't care about any of that - and Jasper Davies has never known when to let something go.

In the slums of Dawnridge, humans dream small. A full stomach. A warm bed. A single golden petal drifting from the Spring Union Parade, said to promise love and a better future. Zaria has stopped believing in fairytales, but she still searches for the petal every year. Because hope is hard to kill. Beyond the crumbling streets of Dawnridge, tension between humans and wolf-shifters grows more dangerous by the day. Villages refuse to unite, old hatred festers, and the borders weaken against the horrors lurking beyond them, from flesh-ripping rotfangs to child-stealing skullcrows and rebels eager to watch the kingdoms burn. When Crown Prince Cassius arrives in his bedridden father's place to restore order, he expects resistance. What he does not expect is her. Cold, ruthless, and fiercely loyal to his kingdom, Cassius believes humans and wolf-shifters should remain separated, though he honours the fragile alliance for the sake of his father's wishes. Then one encounter with a fiery, stubborn human girl changes everything. After fate chains Zaria and Cassius together in ways neither of them expected, they are drawn into a dangerous world of political unrest, buried secrets, deadly creatures, and a bond that threatens everything they thought they knew about loyalty, hatred, and themselves. Because some chains are stronger than iron. And some fates refuse to be broken.

Isabelle was never meant to belong in Blackthorne Pack. Found abandoned as an infant and adopted by the Alpha and Luna, she grew up as the pack's only human daughter. And from the moment she could walk, she followed Henry Sinclair everywhere. The future Alpha. Her best friend. Her first love. Everyone knew they belonged together. Everyone except Henry. Too proud to fight for her. Too afraid to choose her. Too certain she would always stay. When Isabelle finally asks him what she means to him, Henry gives her no answer. So she leaves. Months later, Isabelle returns with an engagement ring on her finger and a new life waiting for her beside Adrian Valerius, a respected Lycan heir who offers her the one thing Henry never could-a future. Only then does Henry understand what he has lost. But by then, it is too late. As tensions between Lycans and Werewolves erupt into violence, Henry spirals into a reckless life of fights, alcohol, and dangerous hunts beyond pack borders. The only person who seems able to reach him is Seraphina, a mysterious Lycan woman who falls in love with the broken wolf everyone else has given up on. But Henry's heart never left Isabelle. Not when she got engaged. Not when she got married. And as war tears the supernatural world apart, Henry begins a desperate journey to see Isabelle one last time. Because some wolves lose the love of their lives. And some realize they lost her years ago.
