The only way to break the curse... is to kill the one you love. Alyenna was stolen from Earth and dragged into Tendaara, the world from her favorite book series: a land of living magic, ancient creatures, and impossible power. The Storm General, Baellnar Aethorien, is a hurricane given elven form. A master swordsman, a relentless menace, and an enthusiastic supporter of terrible puns. He finds Aly's arrival far more entertaining than he definitely should. He insists she was brought there for a reason. That there is more to her than she could ever know. For Aly every new companion hides a dark and questionable past. Every step forward pulls her deeper into a war she does not understand. Yet somehow, Tendaara is still safer than where she came from. Aethorien misses nothing. Not the bruises hidden beneath her denial. Not the strength she refuses to acknowledge. And certainly not the dangerous creature she is becoming. Where others see a broken girl, he sees steel waiting to be forged. A weapon that could save Tendaara. Unfortunately for Baellnar Aethorien, every lesson draws them closer. Every touch burns hotter than it should. And the woman he is training to save the world is rapidly becoming the one person capable of destroying him. Because lurking in the shadows is the Shifter Queen, a creature capable of wearing the face of the person you trust most. One mistaken touch. One moment of hesitation. One drop of blood. That is all it takes. The curse twists love into obsession, devotion into violence, and leaves only one command: Kill the one you love. Baellnar knows exactly what the curse will make him become. So before the Crimson Queen can claim him, he will teach Aly how to survive him. Entered in #2026wattys 🥇1st Black Ink Awards

Alyenna did not hesitate. She obeyed. She held the hilt. She did not let go. It was not enough. Not enough to stop Scelestra from taking him. From taking what was never hers. For a storm cannot be owned. A hurricane cannot be bowed. A blizzard can only be endured. He was stolen from her arms. Her Storm General Aethorien. Her soul bonded. Her Nar. She tore through a dragon to save him. He fought his own mind and a blood curse to protect her from an impossible fall. It was not enough. Not because she never got to say those three words. Not because the magic around her has gone hollow. Not because she feels everything being done to him. Because she has to do everything he taught her. To hunt him. To survive him. To destroy him. But that is Scelestra's game, not hers. The General Aethorien will fight with spite and wit. He will fall. The dragon and the woman will fight for him. They will claw their way through stone, through ice, and through hell itself to bring him back. But what Aly does not realize is that she was never alone. She is not the only one who loves him. All of Tendaara will fight with her to bring him back. Because despite Nar believing he is insignificant, there is a world of people, past and present, willing to do anything to get him back. To repay him for every sacrifice he never believed mattered. For the storm does not bow. And neither does his dragon.

With a flick of the wrist and a slip of her cloak, Sly can steal a coin right from under a noble's nose. But when her brother and their band of rogues catch the attention of a prince, she may find herself in a sea of deception that just might drown them all. Unless a certain goddess of mischief intervenes...

But when things start getting strange, this CoveOps legacy will have to choose what she really needs to focus on.

Now she must uncover her family history in order to find out what could have caused such a betrayal.

BOOK 5 - Morgan Goode's mother has stepped back into her life, a group of rogue terrorists have placed hits on the heads of everyone she loves, and she might be falling for a guy who has a tendency to jump into explosions.
