In the thrilling sequel to Of Shadow and Death, the mysterious Dracul Dregoth and the tenacious Evette Star return to seek each other out amongst the ashes.
Though Evette once vowed to kill the King in the West, she soon realizes that he is the only one who can free her blood-bound wolf from the chains of death. Befriending her murderous enemy is what she must do to save herself and those she loves from the fierce, supernatural storm that threatens to tear earth and sky apart. The dead have come back to life, and they are ready to seek out their long-awaited revenge. Two mirrored lands want for rulers, and the people will have what they so desire. They refuse to bow to any king. They want for a queen, one who can wield the power to restore their voices, their land, and their hope. Seven woman wish to sit upon the throne, but only two will be crowned.
Of Silence and Decay is the second book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is to be trusted. No one is safe from the monsters that lurk within. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will find themselves amongst the saved.

Born of Flames
Asterria has entered an era of renewal following the battle at Durga's How, but its sense of peace cannot be shared by those who heard the dire warning given by the gods. Although ten months have passed, Morana and Tarion still believe that Astaroth could return and are determined to be ready to face him this time. But their people have other priorities which threaten to upend their lives once more. Division is spreading between the people who are pushing for Tarion and Morana to be crowned Asterria's new King and Queen, and those who believe their purpose has been served. They are caught in the rippling tides of change, and with the future hidden from even those who once wrote it, there is no telling where that change will lead. As the tension grows, Morana is becoming more afraid that they won't be prepared to face the new threats emerging, and of what will happen if her worst fears are realized. Only one Heir of Hadeon will remain standing at the end of it all: an immortal God-spawn, or the mortal Phoenix. Can Morana fulfill her destiny and the sacrifices demanded by it to destroy Astaroth once and for all, or will the world be lost in flames?

The First Fae Mate
~Alpha Awards 2023 Winner~ Wattpad official Werewolf page Visena Sage knows two things for sure. Her name, and that she's part Faery. After waking in an unfamiliar realm with no memories (or clothes), Visena is dragged by the scruff to the Earth realm by two insulting and unusual strangers. They seem eager to take her to their leader, an unidentified enemy with unknown motives. However, in a potentially wonderful twist of fate, she is immediately rescued by a small group who use gibberish words to address one another. Alpha? Beta? Mates? The apparent damsel searches for answers while familiarising herself with the group's deliciously scented, cautious leader: Gideon Steel. Gideon seems intrigued by her blunt, confident approach and keeps a watchful eye on her as she navigates his strange world. Both seek answers to the same questions while feeling an unnatural pull to each other. Who is she? (Who is he?) What happened to her family? And is she really the damsel in this story?

After the destruction of the obelisk and the hard-won victory over the Shadowborn, Aeryn Emberborn and her allies return to the Drakyn stronghold, battered but resolute. Yet the shard in Aeryn's chest warns of a deeper darkness-a presence watching and waiting in the farthest reaches of the unknown.
