As events grow more bizarre, she questions her safety and Ian's identity. Why did her late grandfather see fit to make them co-heirs? Furthermore, what lurks in the attic, that hidden room everyone takes pains for her to avoid?

Dive into a world full of magic and modernization. It's 2218 and magic has been a part of the world since the 5th century. With the rise of government and regulation, Magic Laws have been placed in effect to appease the people of the world.

Follow our resident mage (a magical person) Claire Dunsworth who becomes a NYC Mage Detective and her new partner the rugged Detective Raven Black as they investigate crimes of a magical nature.

She is an orphan and grew up in a Home for Magical Children on Mage Island, floating in the middle of the Pacific. Under constant watch and scrutiny from the Guild, Claire now finds herself working side by side with a Black, the very family that was breed to become mage assassins, killing thousands of her people. The fact that the Black is also a handsome man does not help Claire's case at all. Raven has nothing to do with his family and yet is hostile to Claire upon finding out she's a mage. He worked as a detective to make sure everyone had equal justice but when he got his new partner Claire his world is thrown upside down. Not only is she a mage whom he silently despises but she's also the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. As they work together and find a rocky truce between themselves they travel the city solving crimes with a magical association. Raven accepts Claire without cause while Claire lays her life down for the man who stole her heart. As they fall for one another a dark figure lerks in the shadows, plotting something sinister for our mage Claire. Could this dark figure perhaps have something to do with Claire's unclear past? Can Raven, a Black, somehow save this woman before she's taken from him forever?

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?

Ariadne refuses to become the perfect little wife for some rich noble, so why not try and be an assassin? Ariadne Thatcher was raised to be the ideal wife and mother. From the age of six, her mother gradually transferred her responsibilities to her daughter, claiming that it was training for her future married life. Meanwhile, her father, a guard in the royal army, never questioned why his young daughter was taking over all the cooking and chores that her mother used to handle. Ariadne's younger brother, Finian, who was five years younger than her, was carefree and often caused problems that she had to clean up. One day, Ariadne's mother came home and happily announced that she had found the perfect match for her: a young noble eager to marry. It was clear that her mother was essentially trying to sell her to this noble. If Ariadne married him, her family's social standing would greatly improve, and they would likely receive a substantial dowry. Ariadne refused to be treated like cattle. However, when her mother insisted that she meet Lord the next day, she reluctantly agreed. The Lord she encountered was a monster who desired her for her body and was determined to take what he wanted, regardless of her consent. She managed to escape and ran away, resolved never to look back. Her childhood friend, Evangeline Ashwood, lived in a nearby village, so she decided to travel there. During her journey, she would meet a man named Thorne Whitlock, to whom she felt an inexplicable attraction that she was unwilling to acknowledge. However, when she discovers that his profession is that of an assassin, she seizes the opportunity to learn from him. She is determined not to be helpless in the face of danger. Ariadne will take her destiny from the god's and transform it with her own hands. She would never accept the role of a submissive wife meant only for breeding like an animal Book 1 of The Ashen Reign Series

Hunted by a kingdom. Bound to a monster. She'd burn the world to protect them-even if it means losing herself. They thought escaping Maelira's grasp was enough. They were wrong. After secretly tethering herself to the dark sorceress to spare Thorne from being reclaimed, Ariadne Thatcher has kept the truth buried beneath silence and scars. But the cost of her choice runs deeper than blood-because now, the entire kingdom wants her dead. Declared a traitor and branded as a fae monster, Ariadne is the king's most wanted fugitive. With a royal bounty on her head, she and her companions-Thorne, the assassin forged in shadow, and Ezra, the clever spy with too much heart-are being hunted across the realm by blades, spies, and magic alike. Nowhere is safe. No one can be trusted. As Ariadne struggles to contain the magic Maelira twisted into her, Thorne's haunted past resurfaces, threatening to unravel the control he's fought so hard to keep. Meanwhile, Ezra finds his reckless loyalty tested when Evangeline-Ariadne's childhood best friend-appears without warning, bringing with her Ariadne's younger brother, Finian, and more trouble than answers. With old ties reawakening and deadly forces closing in, the group must decide how far they're willing to go to protect one another. Because survival is no longer enough. Not when the king wants Ariadne dead. Not when Maelira still calls her tether. And not when the only way forward may be through fire. Book 2 of The Ashen Reign Series

Book 3 of The Ashen Reign Series Ezra never wanted to be a king. He didn't ask for the bloodline, the throne, or the kingdom left in ruins by the man who sired him. But the crown is his now-heavy, cold, and lined with blades. With every decision he makes, the walls close in: nobles seething with greed and hidden daggers, a neighboring kingdom on the brink of war, and the Fae-vengeful and watching, demanding justice for generations of slaughter. Peace is a lie whispered between battles. Evangeline refuses to leave his side. She doesn't want the crown or the court. She wants him. Broken, burdened, reluctant-him. She will be his strength when he falters, his clarity when guilt threatens to drown him. But loving a king means standing in the path of storms. And there are darker things stirring than politics. As unrest grows and enemies circle like wolves, Ezra must decide what kind of king he will be: a puppet of the blood that cursed him-or a ruler who will burn the old world down to build something better. Even if it costs him everything.
