In the background of contemporary New York City, there exists a world beyond this world. This is a world where magical creatures exist, where the true powers behind the thrones manipulate world governments to their own liking. This is a world as enchanting as it is terrifying, ruled by greed, vanity, vengeance, and the most basic human emotions.
Welcome to The Shadow Kingdom.

Scarlett Whitmore is an unassuming, eighteen-year-old college student. Everything about her life is decidedly mundane except for one aspect - she has the supernatural ability to control ice and water. She has lived in secret with this ability her entire life, unaware of its origins or meaning.
All that changes the day that she meets Adrian Shang. He is tall, dark, handsome, and like her - supernatural. He introduces her to an entire civilization of supernatural beings, living secretly yet in plain sight all around us. Forces from all across the Shadow Kingdom conspire to utilize Scarlett for their own selfish gains, and Scarlett is plunged into a world of conspiracy and political intrigue.
Forces of love, hatred, honour, pettiness, virtue, and vice all collide, bringing the mysterious Shadow Kingdom to light.

Scarlett Petrova has always dreamed of freedom-of a life she chooses, of a love that ignites her soul. At twenty-four, she never imagined her world would be ripped from her hands, replaced with a life she didn't want, with a man she was raised to fear. Roman Volkov, twenty-eight, ruthless, untouchable, and dangerous, is everything she's been warned against-and now, everything she's forced to live with. Their marriage is a contract, a trap designed to control, to bend her to a world of power, violence, and loyalty she doesn't understand. Hatred should come easy. Fear should keep her safe. And yet, in the shadows of Roman's touch, desire flickers, raw and undeniable. Love was never meant to exist here. But neither was the pull between them. As betrayal, secrets, and danger close in from every side, Scarlett must fight for her independence, her heart, and the chance at a love that isn't tainted by duty or fear. In a world where trust is a weapon, and passion is a risk that could kill, can she survive-and will she ever find the freedom and love she's always longed for? BOOK ONE THE "CHAOS" SERIESComplete

The echoes of her footsteps bounced off the walls, but no matter how fast she ran, the shadows behind her seemed to close in. "Keep running, doll" a low, sinister voice called out from the darkness, sending a shiver down her spine. "You can't escape me." She halted, her breath ragged, fear rooting her in place.
