When Shay Ryder is chosen to be one of only twenty-five girls who were hand-picked by the Prince himself to be part of 'The Ringing' - a competition held to become the next princess of the Royal family - you would think that she would be excited; who wouldn't want to be the next Queen of werewolves? Shay wouldn't, that's who! She's happy with the life she had at home with her family and friends and doesn't want anything to do with being part of The Ringing; to her it's a downright disturbing concept, a bunch women fighting to win the heart of one man. Unfortunately for her participating in The Ringing is not optional, its mandatory; that being said she soon finds herself on her way to the Royal lands and stuck in a house full of Alpha females who all have one goal in mind 'win the heart of the Prince' well, everyone but her, that is. Cale Reyes is the eldest son of the Royal family and is about to embark on a rollercoaster ride of emotions; being the future King it's of the upmost importance that he chooses the right female during The Ringing to stand at his side to be the future Queen. You would think that the decision would be easy; just find the woman that he is most compatible with and has the potential to be a great Queen, but he soon learns that things aren't quite as simple as he thought they would be. Between trying to get to know a group of women within a limited amount of time and fighting with himself on what to do with a certain 'stubborn girl' he finds his decisions getting harder and harder as the weeks go on; as if that wasn't enough to deal with, he also has the conflicting opinions of his two brothers weighing on his shoulders when it comes to a certain someone.

An Oath Sworn. A Struggle Engaged. A Sacrifice Required. When Mara, a trained Oathtaker, is drawn by the scent of the Select to battle underworld beasts summoned by powers of evil to destroy the guardians of life, she swears a life oath for the protection of her charge. Armed with a unique weapon and her attendant magic and with the aid of her Oathtaker cohorts, two ancients and a spymaster, Mara seeks safety for her charge from one who would end Oosa's rightful line of rule and from assassins who endeavor to bring ruin to the land. As Mara puzzles to decipher ancient prophecy concerning her charge, as she is haunted with memories of her own past failings, she discovers the price her oath will exact. To renounce her word would be treasonous; to fail, ruinous; to persevere, tortuous. Abiding by an oath requires sacrifice.

"You're not going to run?" Her voice shocked me. It was so angelic, every word sounding musical and like honey. It wasn't vicious in the least bit. The way she spoke sounded sweet and gentle, as if she wasn't about to kill me. "No," I tried to reply, though it was barely a whisper. Somehow, she heard me. Her lips turning into a genuine smile, but even the sight of that didn't distract me from her eyes, which were slowly turning from black to red. The bloody color swirled in her pitch black orbs, until they were fully dominated by the striking glow, making it obvious she wasn't human. But I already established that. In the blink of an eye, she wasn't six feet away from me anymore. She was close enough to touch, her body pressed up against mine as I felt her small cold hand caress the crook of my neck. I swallowed, trying to say something, but my throat was too dry to speak. I couldn't even sum up a single thought as she leaned in, her nose running along my neck as she inhaled. "Mmmm," she murmured, her head leaving my neck as she looked up to face me. "Don't be scared, human," she caressed my cheek, the coldness making me shiver. Her tongue dampened her lips, which gave me perfect view of the elongated teeth that were now there, "It won't hurt for long."

This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.
