Three identical vampire princes are searching for a human girl to one day rule their kingdom. Little did they know that Deva was not like the rest of the girls. She does everything to sabotage her chances but it isn't enough to shield her heart. Eventually the twisting and pulling force her guard down and she falls; she falls so deeply it hurts.

Long ago stood the kingdom of Requiem, a land of men who could grow wings and scales, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons. Requiem ruled the sky. But Dies Irae, a tyrant leading an army of griffins, hunted Requiem's people, burned their forests, and shattered their temples. Requiem fell. This ancient land now lies in ruin, its halls crumbled, its cries silenced, its skeletons littering the burned earth. In the wilderness, a scattering of survivors lives in hiding. The griffins still hunt them, and every day promises death. Will Requiem's last children perish in exile... or once more become dragons and fly to war?

The Capitol and President Snow may have been defeated, but it didn't stay that way for long. President Snow's granddaughter, Jezebel, became in charge after her grandfather's death. Her parents didn't survive the uprising. She remade the twelve districts, leaving thirteen to their own devices. The districts are more poverty ridden than before. She made the Hunger Games again so one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts between the ages of 12 and 18 were chosen to fight to the death, with one person standing at the end. Jark and his sister Stephanie are summonded to be in the 76th Hunger Games. He falls for Echo, a girl from another district who got a high score in training. But will she love him back? And only one can survive, so what will he do when his feelings for Echo grow even further? And if they both manage to be victors, doing the same stunt that Katniss and Peeta did in the 74th Hunger Games, how will they see each other again? And how will he get Stephanie to survive as well? Jark's life is falling apart the moment his name gets called at the Reaping.

This is 50 years after Katniss and Peeta came back from the 75th Hunger Games. The idea is from Suzanne Collins series I own nothing

As soon as everything seems to settle down after the battle and they are awaiting the celebration feast of victory; Andron, a human who was presumed dead has returned with ill tidings.

Meanwhile while she's gone Arria beings to surface once again, finally coming from the shadows to reek havoc on Sudegam. Searon must decide if he can help lead the elves to victory, or if even the new human alliance with the elves won't be enough, and another alliance needs to be formed, a dangerous alliance.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

The Shadow Master. A title from a long forgotten organization that died off years ago. A lost name from a lost age. Centuries passed without such a word passing from a pair of lips, for a title like that only came from an organization as infamous as the Silent Ones, from which the Shadow Master is the rightful leader. A young boy would have soon found out, that such a man of status wears white, as he would learn in one fateful night. In that one night, his entire life will be changed, warped into a path as shadowy and mysterious as the Void itself. Overtime, he will find friends, allies, and a family that took him in, cared for him, loved him, but wound up turning him into a trained hunter of darkness. But a group like the Silent Ones, nothing passes His knowing. He sees all, He hears all, and the boy would soon find out, tethered with Him. And through that, a bond will be formed. A corrupted bond of such kind that lead to destruction and misery, but also happiness and respite, as well as power. Will this farm boy survive the ordeals set before him? Will he survive in the Silent Ones' ranks? And the question most important, will the final scrap of innocence that tethered him to his old life be destroyed as he bonds with the only Lord of Shadowy Death...? Time itself shudders at such possibilities. WARNING- GRAPHIC SCENES AND OBSCENE LANGUAGE ARE SHOWN HERE. Picture is NOT MINE.
