In the vast, enigmatic world Thylethond, species of all races are threatened by the constant raiding and killing from the demon races of Favara. Now well over 1,000 years of conflict Thylethond calls upon the complete extinction of those of Favaran demon blood by all species non-demon. 

Nim, a young, pureblood Favaran royal, however, wants nothing to do with her demon counterparts as she has never seen reason to kill despite being raised to kill and ranking the top assassin of young Favaran recruits. With everything to lose, Nim decides to run away from the expectations she was raised upon and leave behind the life of the second most strongest Favaran and next potential ruler into an unknown world that has every intention to kill her regardless of where she stands- with or against Thylethond.

Along the way Nim meets a handsome Qhaitzal fugitive running from his own fate as well. Unknown to either, their destiny may just very well be tied and by their own hand change just the very fate of Thylethond together in the very least ways they expect it to. 

Currently ranking #20 under #paranormalromance tag, and #11 escaping tag.

★ AMBASSADORS PICK ★ When the Demon Lord threatens to wipe out the entire human population, Demon Huntress Zelda Harpestrix must join hands with another demon to defeat the evil Lord. ★★★ Zelda Harpestrix was an orphan who was picked up from the streets and handed the special ability to hunt and kill demons. She is an expert Demon Huntress who has never failed once in her ten years of hunting demons. But her mission falls in danger when mysterious scrolls land all over the country threatening that the demons will suck the souls of all the humans by the Big New Moon night. And she has to take that threat seriously when a mysterious stranger enters the town she's currently hiding in. Zelda can detect demons with their smell and she's sure this mysterious stranger is one of them. But the more she sees him, she finds him different than the rest of them. The stranger, Kaian Corignis has a secret he can't share with anyone. His purpose of visiting the town is simple but when a certain red-headed huntress jumps out of nowhere and is determined to kill him, he is enraged and forced to reveal his true identity to the huntress.

**My debut novel is available for pre-order with all major online retailers from 11/03/2019** This is just the first five chapters, which are also available on my website: www.bmmatsen.com Two days before the start of senior year, Emma Duvall is attacked by creatures that hunt from the shadows. A hidden world that exists within her own, explodes around her as she is faced with menacing creatures of the deep, ugly venomous creatures with voices so beautiful they bring humans to their knees, and a wicked beast with eyes the color of blood. When she touches them, their dark powers flow into her, awakening a hunger in her that had laid dormant for seventeen years. The darkness is seductive when it deals in rage. And rage is exactly what she needs to survive. Not only must she keep her powers a secret, she must also contend with the new boy in school. He is both dangerous and unnaturally handsome, drawing her in like a magnet. What she can't explain is why being close to him causes her physical pain. And those that hunt the monsters of the night-the Giborim-sworn to protect the humans, find that Emma may be just as monstrous. Except the striking, centuries-old, Blaze, who seeks revenge for the mother and sister he lost. Emma will do anything to impress him and earn his trust. Including using herself as bait to ensnare the final piece of Blaze's vengeance. War between the two races is looming on the horizon as the wicked creatures of nightmares seek to enslave humankind. When Emma is thrown in the middle as the ultimate weapon, she must allow herself to be wielded...just long enough to save the world. For when the raging fires of her wrath are unleashed, the world with be painted in the ashes of her enemies.

She was supposed to be extinct, the last of the wyng. Isolated in untouched woodland, Elowen Neverclove thought she could stay hidden until her dying breath. Until the iron chains bound her and brought her to captivity. Already on the run from her home, Elowen fights to find a place where she can truly be safe. For her, the kingdom of Aelethia poses threat after threat, especially when she discovers that she's bound to a man who's as dangerous as an iron sword. Morrow Killian's prepared to tear the world apart bone by bone if it means keeping his home in Tabrien protected.

Morrow longs to stop it, but he has one obstacle in his way, one pretty little distraction that the moon somehow placed right into his palms.
