BOOK THREE - promised series Espheros is inhabited by more than just the human species. Shifters and Immortals walk the earth amongst them, hiding in the shadows. There are some humans, however, who are very much aware of what moves through the darkness. And now, in order to restore the natural balance the Heretics have disrupted, Catherine must finally come to terms with who she is. Bloodshed in war is inevitable. Can an emotion as strong as hatred truly be eradicated? Though Catherine is the key to saving the Ancients, her brothers weren't gifted with their own set of abilities for nothing either. They say family is everything. But will family be enough?

A human seer and an elven prince have one thing in common: a missing sister. Seraiah's dreams have a habit of coming true, but when all her dreams turn into nightmares, she fears for her sister's life. Each nightmare is a little different, but they always end the same way--with something else looking out from Sterling's eyes. When Sterling is kidnapped, Seraiah suspects the worst. After their father refuses to search for Sterling, Seraiah is forced to take matters into her own hands. She accepts the help of elven prince, Kaimana, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Sterling, and his Commander, Kestrel. Together, this unlikely trio will have to race against time to find Sterling before it's too late. ===================================================================== This is Book 1 in an Upper YA/NA Fantasy series told through multiple point of views.

BOOK ONE - promised series When a new family moves to Everett Valley, Catherine vows to find out what they are searching for in her secluded hometown that doesn't normally welcome new people. Catherine must choose between the council and her pack leader, her brother, once their safety becomes unstable and deaths rake through their home. When her Promised mate steps into her life with one, fiery sweep, he sets her life ablaze entirely. Leaving Everett Valley seems an easy choice, but life changing decisions never are. Especially because Catherine is connected to a much bigger war than the one sparking to life within Everett Valley's walls. And she certainly wasn't gifted with the power of controlling emotions for nothing. Even in war, emotions rule their leaders. And Catherine rules them all.

'Whatever it was, I would face it. Whatever it was, I would win. Something bigger than me had made me a Luna, a figure capable of leadership, of true power. Something had made me his mate, and that didn't count for nothing. It couldn't.' Seventeen-year old Thea Matthews knows nothing beyond the borders of her ordinary, small-town life. With a supportive family and a wonderful best friend, her world is a technicolor dream of hope and happiness. And then disaster strikes, and everything collapses before her very eyes. Forced to pursue a new life in America with her erratic Uncle, Thea notices the impossible--she is suddenly, inexplicably, marked. She has the Sight--a gift that allows her to see into the inner-workings of a world sheathed in shadows, where clawed beasts roam and nightmares run free. With an aggravatingly handsome werewolf on her tail, and the emergence of a darker threat looming over her, can Thea learn to navigate a world of secrets and betrayal?
