Summers in Purchase, TX bring two things to the Lune family: long mornings in Eclair de Lune and the ballad of Gentleman Ben.
August can't come quickly enough for seventeen-year-old Tamsin Lune. When she isn't working in her mother's doughnut shop or waiting for her father's gallery schedule to bring him back to Texas, Tamsin spends her time packing her extensive library for college and riding her bicycle through the town at twilight dawn, all while ruining her ears with angry Scandinavian music.
When Tamsin discovers a family heirloom hidden in her attic, she begins to wonder just how many of the stories surrounding her mother's heritage are true. But before she can properly investigate, she finds herself falling into the dark and twisted world of Perchance -- a land commanded by century-old promises and rivaling ancestries and toxic, black magic. The only thing keeping Tamsin safe is the thing everyone in Perchance is after: a gold pocket-watch with a raven etched into the face's cover.
Will Tamsin make it back to Purchase alive? Can she satisfy a debt that is generations in the making? Or will she succumb to the destructive power of Perchance?

Eclipsed By Fate
When destiny calls, even the shadows must answer. After the death of his grandmother, 24-year-old Luka Montgomery discovers a truth that shatters his ordinary life: he is a caster, born into a legacy of magic he never knew existed. With his grandmother's cryptic letter as his only guide, Luka learns he has until his 25th birthday to master his craft-or face certain death at the hands of Lorena, his corrupted and power-hungry aunt. Armed with a mysterious spellbook and a desperate hope, Luka embarks on a journey to unlock his latent powers, navigating a world of werewolves, witches, and ancient magic he never imagined was real. But Luka isn't alone. Aiden Reede, the future Alpha of the Blood Crescent Pack, is everything Luka isn't: confident, strong, and deeply rooted in the supernatural world. When their paths collide, Aiden's instincts tell him one thing-Luka is his fated mate. Yet, with Luka's life hanging in the balance and Lorena's shadow drawing closer, Aiden must tread carefully. Revealing the truth could overwhelm Luka, but keeping it hidden risks everything. As Luka faces trials of magic, battles rogue wolves, and uncovers the secrets of his family's dark past, he and Aiden grow closer, their bond deepening with each step. But time is running out. Lorena's power grows stronger, and her hunt for Luka grows more relentless. To survive, Luka must embrace his destiny, master his magic, and trust in the bond he shares with Aiden-even if it means risking everything he's ever known. In a world where light and shadow collide, Eclipsed by Fate is a tale of magic, destiny, and the unbreakable bond between two souls fated to change each other's lives forever.Complete

Cienn lun'Orater was almost your average bored-with-life noble heir. Always hiding from insistent girls intent on sharing his title. Usually with the help of his twin sister, Cerenae. Then in one dark night with a sudden revelation of his latent magical abilities he is forced to run away from the only life he's ever known and join the magical Rebellion.

He's then told that he is the key to an ancient prophecy said to bring about the return of magic and the Gods to their rightful thrones. While dealing with his newfound magical gifts he must race across the countryside with two of the most powerful mages of the day - the handsome and quick-witted leader of the Rebellion himself: Kourokain (Kain) Admontan, and the spunky all-powerful sorceress Charna of Idaine. By way of an ancient and powerful book, Cienn must master his gifts and decide if he really is the catalyst for victory everyone keeps telling him he is. Can he handle the weight of destiny and a nation at war with itself on his shoulders?

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.Complete
