What could possibly go wrong? ***** She is Ember. A closed-off and secluded girl with far too many secrets - one being that she's a supernatural mythical mix of a Phoenix that she is desperately trying to control. As her abilities develop, it feels like she's running out of time to control the Phoenix before the fire breaks loose and hurts someone she loves. He is Theo. Equally secretive yet far better at hiding it, this cocky American showed up from nowhere and now seems to be everywhere. The fact he's a werewolf just complicates things further. Hunters are chasing Theo from America to the UK, under the alleged claim that he brutally murdered his pack - a bloody yet unlikely accusation. As much as Ember wants to help Theo, she's fighting her own battles, and the two have to figure out their on-and-off relationship first. In this deceitful world of supernatural and normal humans, outsiders threaten Ember, Theo and their friends - both old and new. Can this group of supernatural teens be brought together by their desperation? Or will they forever be in conflict? Both Ember and Theo are playing a dangerous game with fire, and it's impossible to know who might get burned.

Prisoner Luna
Vivian is shattered when her years of hard work and devotion bring nothing but shocking false accusations and betrayal from her dear husband, her mate, Nathan. "You did it! You collaborated with hunters!" "No, I didn't!" She yells, denying it strongly, but no one listens or trusts her over their alpha's command. The once-loved Luna has now become the most hated, left to rot in prison. Just like everyone, Vivian also thought this was her end, but fate had decided something else. The most feared Lycan king, Julian, is out for war and is famous for his notorious personality. Wherever he goes, rumours about him spread like wildfire, but one among them especially catches everyone's attention. The rumour about him hating women because he finds them weak. Not only that, people also say that he killed his mate after one glance. Moonrock is the next pack. He is about to conquer, but instead of achieving victory like always, he ends the war for the first time in exchange for the woman he has developed an interest in-the prisoner Luna. "I like the flaming violet in your eyes. Tell me, beautiful, what happened to you?" His deep voice, cold just like the prison air, stirs something inside Vivian, unsettling her. She doesn't respond, and he continues nonetheless. "Something is building up inside you, which makes you exactly my type." His words, coated with mirth, leave her shocked because everyone in the shifter community knows about Julian and his infamous hatred for women. What happens now that the Lycan king is interested in Vivian, and regret begins to claw at her ex-husband? How will she navigate through all this when she finds out something hidden about herself, which might be the solution behind the strange disappearances and mishappenings across werewolf packs, hinting at the arrival of something ominous? While making sure she doesn't burn herself in the sizzling fire between her and her second-chance mate Julian.

Coyote Azazello
Twelve-year-old Coyote Azazello knows three things. She knows that her dog Caesar is her best friend in the world; she knows that most any adventure is better than going to school, and she knows that since her mother died life is much easier if she just stays out of her father's way. Yet adventures with Caesar and mysteries in the cemetery sometimes lead Coy down the path of trouble. When Coy's teacher threatens to tell her father she's skipping school she knows the only way out of this mess is if she can get a good grade on the Spring Science Project. Now Coy is forced into an unfamiliar partnership with Sarah, the smartest and bossiest girl at school, and Starling, the quiet and interesting new boy. It's hard to find where school and friendship fit into the way of life that Coy is used to; opening herself up to others while facing a father she hardly knows turns everyday into a trial. Things get even worse when Coy thrusts herself into what may be an actual treasure hunt, but she's not the only person interested in the idea of lost pirate gold and now it's not just school she's trying to survive but run-ins with dangerous criminals. Adventures in friendship, close calls at the cemetery and confrontations at home make Coyote reevaluate what she always believed was the best path in her constantly growing and changing world.Complete

Escaping Duty
After encountering something of myths one day after work, Valentina begins questioning her once mundane world. Seeking answers to prove she's not crazy, she receives another shocking truth that hits even closer to home. Mason returns home to escape his past, but familiar faces return, and new threats arrive in town. Keeping an eye on the enemy, he struggles to avoid getting involved any more than he should. But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.
