When Ari touches a cursed artifact and becomes possessed by a powerful spell, he must find a way to control it or risk losing himself and the half-vampire he loves. ***** Aristotle Lorenfield knows he's unusual. He lives in a museum of haunted objects, studies ancient magics, and is unapologetically asexual. He's used to being alone and doesn't want anything more. Then, one day, his archeologist uncle sends him a mysterious artifact in the mail, thrusting Ari into a world of real magic, necromantic cults, supernatural beings, and dangerous secrets. Torn from the comfort of his solitude, Ari must face the pain in his past, and the truth in himself, if he hopes to survive and save the man he's come to love - but the greatest dangers lie closer to home than he thinks.

Silver-tongued lawyer Linus Twist has expensive tastes. The sharpest suits, the purest drugs, and the dirtiest sex. Linus wants it all in excess, especially the sex, and especially with the wrong types of men. So when he impetuously follows a foxy redhead into the gym shower and gets kissed like it means something, Linus knows he's headed for certain disaster. Finnigan Wilde is a dreamer, a wanna-be novelist, in search of himself. He woos Linus with lilacs, speaks to him in filthy poetry, and touches him like he doesn't care who's watching. It's enough to make Linus want to set aside his sinister tendencies, his ambition, and one vital fact - that, as far as the world is concerned, Finn is straight.

BOOK THREE The world was thrown into chaos the moment Carter lost his step mother. He just didn't realize it until it was too late. The war ravaged the world he lived in, destroying society and ruining more lives than he would ever be able to count, and he, though he always tried to ignore the fact, was the reason it happened. Demi always assumed he was the one who broke the world, Bay liked to brag that it was him, but fleshing it down to the marrow of this broken world, tearing back the layers to the very beginning, Carter knew. He knew he started this. And he knew he was the one who needed to end it. With unlikely companions at his side, people labelled as both enemy and friend fighting with him, Carter will fight literally everything he's ever known, everything he once believed in, to finally end this for once and for all. Because even the most cruel, the most malicious of people, were innocent when they were young, and sometimes... sometimes reminding them of that innocence is exactly what is needed to purify their evil.

**TOY MASTER SERIES: BOOK TWO**SEQUEL TO PUPPET//READ PUPPET FIRST PLEASE** Dakota Bailey has been forced to conform to the belief of other's since he was young; remaining in the closet because of fear, forced to praise a God he hated because his mother's extreme views ruled his life. When his family died in the bombs, he was freed from their beliefs, but at the same time watched the love of his life die, and for years he let the pain of his loss overwhelm him and govern his life. He believed himself to be nothing but a toy soldier, broken and gathering dust, waiting to be melted down for someone else's purposes, paint chipping away and pieces missing. The one constant in his life had always been the stars above, he cared about nothing else, but when those stars collide in front of his very eyes, he's reminded that loving is not a crime, and that he deserves to live as much as those around him, because broken soldier or not, he still had a right to fight. "Either way I'm still broken, my paint chipping, pieces missing, still pushing forward, still struggling, still just a toy fighting for my right to survive. What a cruel world we live in..."

PREQUEL TO PUPPET Tobias Florian had no place in the society of the old world, his life truly began when the world itself ended. Finally, with a purpose, a reason, he takes what he's learned through the years and builds up a military of surprising power. One of the only blockades to hold back the new government, he needs to be stopped, and the one they send is none other than Carter Abbott. Carter is a part of the "new government" that seeks to gain ultimate supremacy against those few left from the wars. He's tied up and chained to a world he wants no part of, his very identity at stake; all he knows is darkness in a world that used to shower in so much light. Carter is meant to infiltrate and return with information necessary to taking down Tobias and the military he had created, but what he finds there in Austria isn't at all what he expected, and he finds himself in a free fall he never thought could be possible. "When it starts it's all fire and sand, and when it's over it's all glass, and it's breakable and dangerous, and exactly what I have always wanted."

BOOK ONE Demitri Inou is an assassin of the new government, molded and manicured into the perfect pet. Obedient and submissive, he'll do anything the Con Rồng tells him to because he knows the consequences of disobeying them, but even through years of torture and instilled fear, he remains somewhat defiant towards his handlers. Though he's lost all humanity, virtue, and hope of being free, he refuses to completely succumb to them, and uses his hatred towards them to fuel each assassination. Being the skilled killer he is, it isn't at all surprising when the leader of the Con Rồng sends him on a mission that could either end the new government or boost their following and power. A mission to eliminate the leader of the Phoenix Rebellion, Phoniks Vidroh. At first it seems like just another mission, another simple assassination, but things go terribly wrong, and Demitri finds himself smack in the middle of the rebellion, fighting against the strings that tie him to the Con Rồng, and the hope of freedom and safety with a childhood friend he'd always assumed to be dead. "... and even as the world is consumed in the flames of evil, the strong will continue to rise from the ashes."
