What's worse than a past that comes back to haunt you? One you don't even know. When Edin awoke in a stranger's bedroom, having forgotten everything but his name and age, he did not expect to be thrown into an ongoing war. As a gifted - a rare group of humans born with special abilities - Edin is forced to become a guardian and protect the realm of Idelhen from monsters, lest mankind fall prey to darkness. Arden Mægenstern, Idelhen's strongest guardian and the last stand against a sorcerer more powerful than most gifteds combined, takes Edin under her wing and works with him to restore his memories. A fateful encounter with a beast deems Edin worthy of becoming a guardian, and his sheer power promises an end to the sorcerer's reign of terror. However, just as he's thrust onto the battlefield, he realizes that there are other monsters than the feral creatures he's forced to slay. And they're waging a war within him. As Edin's inner demons and obscure past creep out of the shadows, the world wonders whether he really is Idelhen's next hope or its demise in disguise. Only blood will tell.

[The Other Realms Series | Book 3] Some things are better left buried. Two years after the events of The Hidden World of Nitea, the Realm Seekers reunite for their first official mission: accompany a royal on a top-secret journey. They first head to the Kingdom of Serpania to meet with Princess Selenia. After gathering in a private room, the Princess divulges the remaining details surrounding their trip. The Kingdom of Draconyn was a once-prosperous land inhabited by dragon shifters. Thousands of years ago, a group of mages sealed Draconyn under a powerful curse. The kingdom has since been barren, forgotten, and even wiped from history. The trio and Princess Selenia are to find Draconyn's remains and break the curse. After a lengthy briefing, the princess makes them promise to not tell anyone of their plans. They soon set out, accompanied by a few of the princess's guards and servants. As the trio and Princess Selenia make their way to the cursed kingdom, a mysterious group of mages continually pursues them, determined to stop them at all costs. However, when a clash between the two parties results in both sides claiming hostages, the trio begins to wonder if there was a good reason why Draconyn was sealed in the first place. Will they aid the princess or abandon their mission?

[The Other Realms Series | Book 2] Actions, well-intended or not, have consequences. Some of them may be deathly. One year after the events that happened at Otrâlmondé, the trio reunites in Paris to spend the summer together. When they're not busy sightseeing with their families or hanging out in Eddie's home, the three would head to Nitea to further their training. It seemed that their vacation would go about normally... minus the realm-hopping. Until a hidden curse turns a human girl into glass. And it might be Eddie's fault. With only two weeks to spare before the curse becomes permanent, the trio and their allies go on a scavenger hunt to find a cure. However, with their relatives close by to watch their every move, leaving Earth and coming back unnoticed will not be easy. Will the trio manage to break the curse in time, and do so without getting caught? Highest Genre Ranking: Top 600 in Adventure Highest Tag Rankings: #1 in gatekeeper #1 in magitech #7 in jewelry #15 in realm #254 in fantasyadventure NOTE: I strongly recommend that you read the first book (The Secret Land of Otrâlmondé) before reading this book.

Hades, God of the underworld, collector and protector of souls. Cold to the touch sometimes but warm once you feel his embrace. ---- "The only way you can avoid me taking your mother is if you can give me another soul," I told as my right index finger traced her jawline until I pushed up her chin so her blue orbs met mine "make me an offer I can't refuse.

Ray is low on time, luck, and hope; his only chance is an artifact that may not even exist. But upon meeting Landon, Ray is beginning to believe he might find all four. ***** Cambions are doomed to tragedy. They are weak, sickly creatures that rarely live to see their twentieth year. Ray refuses to resign himself to that fate. Upon learning of the Crimson Sheath-an artifact capable of preserving his life-Ray is prepared to fight, steal, and kill to get his hands on it. He is not prepared for Landon. Landon is an orphan with no memories of his parents, the only inheritance left to him a dagger, sleeping in a crimson sheath.
