Autumn Arcana has grown accustom to the circumstances of her life. When she was a child, a war between the paranormals and the humans shattered her world, and now she is becoming a peacekeeper and supporting the integration between the once enemy species. However, even with her whole life planned out, she craves the answers to the mysteries that are slowly consuming her.
The day her mother died, a tattoo of a mythical bird appeared on her body. At age nine, she learnt she had demon's blood within her, and a few years later, her twin sister abruptly died in an explosion. Her dreams are flashes of the future and she sees disfigured, darkly coloured shadows that warn her of nearby dangers.
However, Autumn couldn't foresee the pandemonium she would be thrust into. When her supposedly dead sister appears out of the blue, without any memories from the time she was imprisoned by an anti-human terrorist group, a string of murders and strange anomalies follow in suit. Unknown pasts and sinister conspiracies are slowly coming to light, and Autumn's visions show nothing but destruction.
Autumn Arcana must beware, for although the world is a dark place, magic can be darker. And deadlier.

The Guardian
When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one. Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner. I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.Complete

Entropy
He walks forward, pressing the blade into his throat. His skin is taunt against the serrated edge, and blood beads around it until it drips down his neck in a crimson trail. My eyes widened, wanting it. He is looking at me with those dangerous, glinting green eyes, daring me. "Kill me, then. If you feel nothing, you can kill me. Then you can leave.The choice is up to you. It always has been," He whispers. His words leave me as cold as the blade at his throat. My heart is subjected to this stabbing pain, like I'd turned the knife on myself, and I would rather it be like that. "But if you don't," he whispers," you are mine and all mine. We will rule the dawn of a new age, we will complete our bond, and you will forget about her. Make your choice." I can hear my heart beat in my ears, and I swallow agaisnt the rush. These are my options. Kill him, or agree to be his. I make my own choice. I can not take my freedom away. I can not be the mate he wants, but I can not kill him. With a deep breath, I turn the knife on myself.

Is she just another part of the fall out, another victim to an unending tragedy between two cosmic beings? There's only one thing that can help her, and it stands before her in the form of a green eyed werewolf mercilessly killing the witches she's grown up loving. She thinks he can protect her, but what will she do when he needs protection...from her? #12 in destruction #11 in strife
