Season 1 of The Arcane Artifacts

Elle Kennedy is running from her past. When a murder brings her face to face with a goblin bounty hunter, her past comes racing back. Now her life is on the line, and he might be the only one who can keep her safe. 

 Bastian Croft has a job to do. Find Jane Miller's killer, and bring them to justice. He doesn't expect to face off with a head of cotton candy pink hair and a bold attitude. Nor does he expect things to take a twisted turn among the supernatural community. 

As Elle and Bastian look for answers, they're forced to confront the growing attraction between them. Neither is interested in a relationship, and yet, sparks fly. If they cannot save each other, then there will be no saving the Sleepers.

Following a massive discovery at work, Mila, a brilliant historian, finds herself tangled up with a dashing collector, Ulrik, who quickly seems to want more from her than an antique and mysterious Viking sword. Season 1 of The Collector ***** When she's offered the opportunity to curate an entire exhibit, Mila Connelly chooses to make it about Haakon Odinson, a legendary Viking she's been obsessed with her whole life. And when his sword falls into her lap after being missing for over a millennium, she takes it as a sign. But before she can uncover its secrets, a benefactor swoops in, dead-set on taking Haakon's blade for himself. No matter how handsome and mysterious Ulrik Westergaard is, Mila refuses to let him have it for his private collection. However, Ulrik's determination is stronger than she thought, and his charm seems more than capable of chipping away at her resolve. Despite the intense rivalry, their attraction to one another grows with each of their interactions. Eventually, their interests shift away from the relic, and it becomes a matter of time before one of them breaks. But who will surrender first? The devoted historian who has waited her entire life for this opportunity, or the spoiled millionaire who has spent years looking for the artifact?
