Esi has been fighting for as long as she can remember. She fought for her family, her country, her queen... and she lost it all anyways. The nation she swore to protect descended into chaos and all she could do was watch it burn. Now, she's only too aware of what the rest of the Veil sees in her, a Demon, a killer. They're not wrong. She'd kill, she'd do anything, to protect the small amount of peace she's carved out for herself in hell. She'd made herself hard long ago, hard enough to survive.... So why did a Dragon, a man she barely knew, make her want so much more from life?

Den knows his place in the world, he knows his duties and what's expected of him. He's a Dragon, a warrior, a protector of the innocent, but he can't help that none of that mattered the moment he saw her... no matter how many tell him she's anything but innocent. The second their eyes met, nothing mattered as much as keeping her with him. Even if she was a Demon, the sworn enemies of the Veil.
It's said Demons are soulless monsters, all of them. But how could Den believe that when her silver stare had the power to steal his breath?

I'm standing in the gateway to the larger ballroom, almost too far away for my weak eyes to see the three figures that glide onto the stage. The King and Queen walk side by side until they come to their thrones, the Prince walking about five feet behind and moving towards the smaller throne to the King's left. The King and Queen sit down on their thrones in unison. The Prince doesn't. Even I can see the way his shoulders are bristling, a sort of confused wonder dawning on his face. And I would swear he is looking directly at me. //// Lee Collins wants to help her sister, Lucy. She has a vision of a future away from their dad, where Lucy could be healthy and they would have some chance of happiness. When Lee's only friend helps her sneak into the royal ball on the minuscule chance that an attending doctor would be willing to help, Lee ends up fleeing the party early, chased by none other than her mate. Lee finds herself locked in from all sides, desperate to escape the suffocating implications of a mate but frantic to fight for a future for her sister that she still believes possible. Working in the Royal Palace to save escape money is a terrible idea when you have a controlling father, but it's an even worse idea when the mate that you're avoiding is the Prince. //Marked Mature just in case for violence. general trigger warning. Some chapters may be triggering for abuse and anxiety//

*Paperback is published on Amazon.com. THE DOYEN SERIES book 2: Anecdote is coming soon!* Aisling Collins has lived a mostly perfect life: straight A's, a loving family and she even attends the college of her dreams. But when she meets the mysterious and handsome Kayde Rhys, she learns that not everything is as perfect as it seems. One trip to New Orleans throws Aisling into the most exciting and life-threatening world she never knew existed. Aisling finds that she is more powerful than anyone could have imagined. This is why she has been in hiding for 19 years. Dozens want her dead. Dozens want her alive. Who will win? ...... Excerpt from book: I almost say "okay, let's kill him" but then I remember who I am. What my values are. What my standards are. What my morals are. And this is not 1 of them. Values define who you are. The minute, the second, the millisecond, you forget your values, you lose yourself, your mind, your soul. I already lost my family and my innocence to the supernatural. I am not going to lose my humanity too. I find the words flying out of my mouth in a frantic hurry before I can stop them. I am screeching, screaming, blurting words and phrases and sentences and paragraphs at the people before me like I will soon run out of air. They stare at me like I am speaking in tongues, which I guess to them I am. "Okay," Kayde says as he picks his lifeless brother off the ground. Slings him over his shoulder like he is made of feathers. Nods at me once, twice, 3 times. "We can use him to get information. No killing." He looks me in the eye. But that doesn't mean that there won't be torture.

Little taste of the book :)~~~Walking down several halls, I finally come to the metal door of the dungeons. Walking through, power flows off of me in waves of bone chilling darkness, all of those pathetic little prisoners cower away back into the corners of their cells like smart little rats, except two. "I will never bow to you ever again!" Yells Maya. "Neither will I!" Shouts Crystal Chuckling, "Well sooner or later, little heirs. You will bow to me. It may not be today, possibly not even tomorrow, but you never know. My methods are extremely effective. Especially when it comes to such...breakable little participants. I'm sure you'll both be more than willing." I give them a toothy grin, oh how I can't wait to hear their screams, the cracking of their bones, the dripping of their blood as they submit and remember who is truly in charge of this world. Of them. "I WILL NEVER BOW TO YOU! YOU SICK BASTARD! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR OWN BROTHER! HE'S ON HIS DEATHBED! RIGHT AS WE SPEAK! WE'VE ESCAPED YOUR MEN AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN!" Crystal full on screams out at me, close to tearing her throat raw from shouts.~~~ What is Crystal keeping a secret? But the real question is, who is Maya? She has no last name, so who is her family? Where will their adventures take them? You never know until the end. Don't be surprised if their comes a twist plot! :D This series will go between different super naturals views. Through there journeys until the last book which, I wont uncover until later on.

53 parts Complete Mature
Nat's first instinct when followed in the night is to run. But you can only run so far from something that cannot be seen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meet Natalie Rose, an eighteen year old girl just about to begin University. She has it all, a family that loves her, a good paying job, a boyfriend to live with. Never would she have expected for her world to quite literally turn upside down in one night. The saying 'wrong place at the wrong time' could definitely be referenced for this particular case. Nat is now on the run from her handsome and mysterious captor with rather odd intentions. His unpredictable behaviour baffles Nat to the point of insanity and the strange pull she feels towards him is unavoidable. Nat wants out, but things aren't always that easy. He needs her for something far greater than she could ever have possibly imagined. And if she leaves, not only will it effect him, but everything that he cares about, including Nat. Brought to a world distanced from her own, Nat feels herself growing accustomed to her new life, however with the understanding that she needs to get out and fast. The real question being: is Nat running from him, or her heart? After all, she is the vampires slave and he her master.
