So we return to the world of New Arden, a strange place, a coastal town infested with faeries, vampires and all sorts of magical peoples. The characters are a little older and the stories a little scarier. There are plenty of mysteries left to discover in this landscape that owe much to Shakespeare's "A midsummer night's dream."

Blood Descent
A witch with dormant powers. A vampyr imprisoned for centuries. A destiny that could save or doom them both. Viola never meant to awaken him. One accidental spell, and she unleashes Matic-an exiled half-demon vampyr with eyes like winter's edge and a voice that drips temptation and damnation. He's not just a creature of the night-he's centuries of rage wrapped in lust, betrayal, and something far more dangerous: purpose. Now marked by fate and hunted by those who fear Matic's return, Viola finds herself tethered to the one being whose very presence makes her skin burn with warning-and want. Because Matic doesn't just promise protection. He offers oblivion. As Samhain nears and the veil between realms thins, ancient blood rites begin to stir. Devoted worshippers rise to complete broken rituals, shadows hunger for their master's return-and Viola begins to unravel, drawn deeper into the magnetic pull of a monster who doesn't just haunt her... he claims her. And when truths buried in ash rise from the grave, Viola must face the one question that could shatter her: Is the real danger the demon beside her... or the darkness awakening within her?

Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety.
