Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too.

Three kings, One mistake
"COMPLETED" Kaela is a fierce and complex character, born to four incredibly powerful beings: a werewolf, a vampire, a dragon, and an omega. While her birth was a stunning event, her family expected greatness. But what they got was a girl who didn't fit the mold. Unlike the Lycan King, born with immense power, Kaela was perceived as weak, lacking the same aura of strength. Her family-her parents, and especially her mates-mocked her, rejected her, and made her feel like an outcast from the moment she was born. But Kaela has a fire within her that can't be snuffed out. Bullied by everyone except her omega father, she grows up with an unrelenting determination to prove them all wrong. She finds solace in music and dance, her only outlets for expression. When her own brothers frame her for a crime she didn't commit and she's exiled from her pack, Kaela could've given up. But instead, she rises. With a billion-dollar check from her omega father, she redefines herself-turning her pain into power. Now a famous artist, Kaela is ready to take on the world that abandoned her. Her ex-mates-once the Lycan King, Vampire King, and Demon King-are about to find out just how wrong they were to underestimate her. But Kaela is more than just revenge; she's a woman on her own terms, unbothered by those who once thought they could control her. With three kings who once rejected her now desperately wanting her back, Kaela is the one in control-and she's about to make them regret the day they let her go.Complete
