Abbie has never been what one would call a typical lady. Trying to keep up with England's rich and powerful is far too much work, and Abbie has never enjoyed the endless games of chasing acknowledgement form her peers. When she's engaged rather unwillingly to the wealthiest lord in London, she knows without a doubt it will be the worst thing she'll ever face. So what does she do? She runs. Finn has been roaming the seas as a pirate aboard The Iron Lady for ten years. Since the death of his father, he's been pirating to provide for his mother, sister, and her two children--all the while unbeknownst to them. While there have been a number of heists that have ended favorably, their poor condition has changed little. Finn wearies of life at sea, and begins thinking about leaving the business to return home to Ireland for good. When he kidnaps a businessman's teenage daughter, he is absolutely certain that the ransom payoff will be the one to end his career as a pirate. Abbie has always thought that pirates are uneducated, cruel, and just plain terrible company. Finn is certain that rich girls are snobby and selfish and is dreading spending any time with one aboard the ship. But when their journey together begins, they find that their expectations might be entirely incorrect. With the voyage of The Iron Lady spanning the globe from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, from the Iberian Peninsula to England, neither lady nor pirate will be able to resist the adventure--and romance--that will come along with it.

Red: She loves the color, but hates it at the same time. It's splashed in her ledger, dripping from her fingers. Red will always be a part of her. It shaped her, defined her, molded her from a young age. She doubts that she will ever escape it. It is the color of her hair, after all. As a child, she learned to leave a trail of red in her path wherever she was sent. Now, it's a bit different. Now, he tries to help her see the good in herself. He and the kid. But she knows he can't help her until he sees the good in himself as well. Red represents her as a person. Whether Red is actually good or bad; well that's the question, isn't it? Green: He sees this color every night in his dreams. He sees it as he rips his life apart, succumbing to the raging anger inside of him, letting the monster out. He sees it as he loses control, feels unimaginable pain as he changes form, knows it precedes destruction. But he sees it in her eyes as well, a vibrant green, the color of spring. Full of hope and determination. The kid's eyes as well. Sea-green and strong. She tells him that green's good. Green represents life, rebirth. She says that green doesn't have to mean destruction. But can Green be associated with such positive things for long? Blue: The color reminds him of happier times, when his life was uncomplicated, and full of love. Back when his mother baked him cookies dyed just the right shade of it, when it was a symbol of rebellion. Now, it's a bittersweet memory. They call him a hero. But he knows he's dangerous, always part of a prophecy of some sort. And he's no hero. The friends he's lost are proof of that. Two wars, and so many lost, the love of his life being one of them. He has to move on. He promised. The color is painful for him now, but he stubbornly keeps it around as a reminder. How can he remember all the good times he's had, if Blue only makes him think of the bad? Or: Three heroes form a mini team and help save the universe. Does anyone expect it? Nope.

The Awakening changed the face of reality itself. A cataclysm of dimensional proportions, the event unleashed all manner of demonic beasts upon the world of man and left humanity's scattered survivors trapped in an endless battle for survival. That's a battle Council Academy all-star Seth Wright learned the hard way, barely surviving his first encounter with demonic entities. Now aware of the peril mankind faces, he's desperate to learn what he must to defeat them - but the only person willing to help him is veteran demon hunter Astral Daamon, and only so she can pursue her own investigation into corruption within the walls of the Council Academy. But what they uncover together is far more terrifying than mere conspiracy - challenging everything Seth thought he knew about fighting demons. Beneath the foundations of the academy itself, an ancient and malevolent evil is stirring from its slumber - and unless Seth is willing to sacrifice what he believes could protect humanity from annihilation, this demon will rise and devour everyone he cares about. Seth is being forced to weigh the lives of his classmates against the fate of humanity. When the moment comes, will he make the right decision?
