"Hello?" I question. My words bounce across the darkness, going nowhere and echoing back at me with a force I have not heard before.
"Eliba?" I hear a throaty, desperate voice behind me.
I turn.
And then I see it.

Darkness consumed 🖤 Nikolai ex-Darkling
A/N: It started as a Darkling x OC book. But I couldn't justify that for the second season. So, for the second season, it has become a Nikolai x OC book. (I blame Ben Barnes even though I had read the books and knew what was coming, it still started with the Darkling, but then Nikolai swaggered onto the screen, and it just had to change!) Season 1: The Darkling was quite happy to keep to himself, locking everybody out. But that was hard when a chatty hyper healer was determined to get his attention without even realising it. The one problem is that having the Darkling's attention brought a lot of unwanted attention in and of itself. Leigh just wanted to befriend everybody (well, not everybody; she would love to be more than friends with a particular shadow summoner.) Season 2: Horrified by what the Darkling has done, Leigh does the only thing she can: run. Taking all that she knows with her, Leigh makes it to the other side. Determined to bring the Darkling down and make him pay for his crimesComplete

Siren Song (The Fated #1)
Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her.

Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by MoranaComplete

Can Eli free herself and Jena from the magic that binds them? Or do the gods have other plans?Complete
