Before Olympus had a throne... there was Night. And Night gave birth to something the gods were never meant to find. Hidden within the golden cruelty of Olympus is a girl no one is supposed to remember. Kallista is nothing more than a forgotten presence in the shadows of gods' children-soft-spoken, overlooked, erased from attention as easily as breath disappears into air. The world has always looked away from her, and she has learned to survive inside that blindness. But some things were never meant to stay hidden. When Erevos, the so-called blind and broken prince of the Underworld, steps into her world, everything fractures. He sees her-truly sees her-in a way no one ever has. Not as a girl. Not as invisible. But as something far older, far more dangerous, and far more divine than Olympus was prepared to remember. Erevos is not what he seems. Neither weak nor blind, he is the heir of shadows who has spent his life watching gods pretend they are untouchable. And when he looks at Kallista, he does not see innocence. He sees awakening. But the gods are not blind. The heirs of Olympus begin to circle her like wolves drawn to a forgotten flame. Secrets buried beneath Tartarus stir. The Primordial Night begins to remember what was stolen from her. And love-when it finally comes for Kallista-does not arrive gently. It arrives like a claim. As obsession. As fate. As something neither gods nor death can undo. Because Kallista is not just being watched. She is being found. And once the truth of what she is begins to rise, Olympus will have only two choices: Bow... Or burn.

At Rendspire War Academy, you don't graduate. You survive. And failure is discarded as ash. Rendspire is a brutal, vertical meat-grinder ruled by Imperial Commanding General Navarre Macchina-a cold apex predator who treats cadets as expendable fuel for the academy's massive Siphon monoliths. To her mother, Luna is just a resource to be spent. But Luna is hiding a catastrophic anomaly: a volatile, forbidden energy humming beneath her skin. In a regime that executes anything it cannot control, her very breath is high treason. She has spent years playing the role of the perfect, emotionless cadet, knowing a single slip-up means being delivered to her mother's dissection tables. When a high-stakes training exercise turns into a lethal sabotage trap, Luna's survival forces her into an uneasy tactical alliance with David Martinez-a dangerously cynical rogue pilot who treats the academy like a lethal chessboard. Trapped between a ruthless execution squad and the unforgiving cold of the Jagged Basin, Luna and the forgotten rejects of Section Three must execute a desperate gamble: hijack the Siphon Monolith, blind the General's surveillance, and turn their prison into an unbreachable rebel stronghold. The Siphons are hungry. The General is watching. And the sky is about to bleed. ⚔️ WHAT'S INSIDE: Cutthroat Military Academy: A lethal setting where the environment is just as dangerous as the cadets. A Chilling Antagonist: A terrifying mother-daughter dynamic built on cold, calculation rather than affection. Morally Grey Leads: Two brilliant, strategic minds forced to rely on each other to survive. Ride-or-Die Found Family: The unyielding bond of Section Three's rejects fighting against the machine.

A coffin, a prince, and a monster's curse she was never meant to survive. Seris Vale makes a living undoing the magic everyone else is afraid to touch. As the realm's most notorious curse-breaker, she slips through holy wards and royal vaults like smoke-until a smiling human prince buys her death and smuggles her across the border in a borrowed coffin. Her task is simple: infiltrate the ruined Nightfall fortress, unravel the protections around the exiled alpha werewolf hiding there, and let the royal assassins finish the job. But the "monster" of Nightfall is not what the stories promised. Kade Thorne, disgraced alpha prince, is guarding children and elders, not plotting a war. Framed for a massacre and hunted by his own blood, he clings to one final protection oath sworn beneath a blood moon. When Seris tries to break it, the magic snaps back-and forges a forbidden soul-bond between curse-breaker and wolf. Now Seris and Kade share pain, power, and dangerously intimate emotions neither of them asked for. The ancient Moonbound Oath brands them as fated mates before a world that executes humans for less. If they cannot master the bond before the coming Triple Moon Eclipse, it will fuse their souls forever...or shatter them both. Enemies by design, bound by magic, they must: - Pretend to be devoted mates to survive pack law and human politics. - Unravel the truth behind the Nightfall massacre and the prince who orchestrated it. - Decide whether to break their bond and doom the fragile peace between humans and wolves-or claim it and remake the realm in blood and moonlight. Moonbound Oath is a spicy, slow-burn werewolf romantasy featuring fated mates with a twist, assassin x alpha tension, forced proximity, and a morally gray heroine who was never meant to belong to anyone-least of all the monster she was hired to destroy.

Everyone in Highwater knows the sea is dangerous at night. Parents warn their children of it at night, that the waves and the sand and the salt are a terrible force, that the creatures that lurk within it will rise to steal you away without a care. Before the sun rises the next morning, you're gone, with no trace of you left upon the shore. Marin Draycott has never much believed in sirens. She'd never seen one, and never known anyone snatched away by the supposedly-wretched creatures. When her father would tell her tales, they'd seem like half-truths, merely a tall tale to stop his daughter from straying too close to the danger of the high tide in the darkness. The Sirens of Highwater were merely folklore, and Marin didn't believe in them one bit. Until one night, when she and her best friend, Lilian, sneak out one night onto the shadow-covered sand, and the waves ripple too much beneath the steady sky. The sirens rise to claim their prize - a body, a soul, for each high tide - and steal Lilian away into the depths below. The water barely ripples as she falls and Marin swears to all that will listen she will find a way to bring what's left of her best friend back.

Miraculously, her betrothed is the ideal partner and the both of them have even grown to love each other. But the seemingly idillic kingdom holds many dark and dangerous cruelties, corrupt leaders, and sorcery that was meant to be only fabled. When the prince's oldest friend, the wild and dashing Sinder, comes to visit on the night of a grand celebration, he comes with troubling news that threatens to crumble the fabric of the monarchy. Love and loyalties will be tested, true motives will rise to the surface, intrigue and adventure of a lifetime will call to the hearts of the daring.

The Seventh Crown Earth has always believed it was alone. People wake up, go to work, sit through class, chase promotions, fall in love, and plan for tomorrow without ever questioning the world around them. To everyone else, history is complete. They're wrong. Beyond a hidden veil lies Aetheria-a realm where kingdoms were built on magic, dragons still rule the skies, and forgotten gods left their mark on the land. For centuries, Aetheria and Earth have remained separated by an ancient barrier, keeping their worlds-and their histories-apart. That barrier is beginning to crack. When seventeen-year-old Azriel Hayes survives a chance encounter with a mysterious Rift, he becomes bound to an artifact believed to have vanished long ago: the Seventh Crown. In a single night, the ordinary life he knew disappears. Creatures once dismissed as myths begin hunting him, secret organizations emerge from the shadows, and a conflict older than recorded history pulls him to its center. As Rifts appear across the globe, the line between Earth and Aetheria grows thinner. Monsters pour into modern cities, long-buried secrets come to light, and the truth behind humanity's forgotten past refuses to stay buried. The Seven Crowns were never forged to grant power. They were created to keep something locked away. Now one of them has awakened. Caught between two worlds on the edge of collapse, Azriel must uncover why the Crown chose him before the force imprisoned behind it is set free. The answer lies beyond the Rifts, where the fate of Earth and Aetheria has been waiting for him all along. Some inherit a crown. Azriel was chosen by one.
