In the forsaken land of Barovia, where shadows stretch long and hope is but a fleeting dream, Lucy must confront her greatest challenge yet. Recently freed from the Ice Queen's curse, Lucy now faces the darkness that has ensnared her beloved friend Paultin, transformed into a dark lord under the malevolent rule of Strahd von Zarovich.

Determined to rescue Paultin and bring an end to Strahd' s reign of terror, Lucy leads her friends-Anthony, Lola, and Luna-through Barovia' s treacherous forests, haunted villages, and crumbling castles. Anthony, with his unwavering courage and the warm light of the Sunstone, supports her every step, their growing bond a beacon of hope. Lola and Luna, fierce and determined, fight to protect their friends and unravel the mysteries of this cursed land.

But Paultin, once their trusted companion, has become a formidable adversary. Bound to Strahd' s will, he wields dark powers and commands legions of the undead. Lucy must confront the shadows not only around her but also within her heart as she battles to reach the remnants of Paultin's true self and break Strahd' s hold on him.

As the group navigates Barovia' s treacherous terrain, they face horrors beyond imagination, their resolve tested like never before. Lucy's courage and determination will be the key to their success, but the path is fraught with danger, and the price of failure is unimaginable.

In a land where the line between ally and enemy blurs, Lucy must find the strength to confront the darkness, save her friend, and lift the curse that plagues Barovia. Will she succeed, or will the shadows consume them all? The fate of their world rests on a knife's edge in this epic tale of bravery, friendship, and the struggle against an unending night.

She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

Alista Willow, a rogue with a haunted past and a secret even she doesn't understand. Balder Slashman, a half-orc druid whose wisdom is often overshadowed by his eccentricity.

In a world of supernaturals, I am something else. Ascension Day turned Average Joes into spell-casting savants, Plain Janes into glamorous vampires, and the homeless guy at the intersection of Sunset and Santa Monica into the alpha werewolf of Los Angeles. Unfortunately for me, my Ascension was... unique. I was struck by lightning and can't stop throwing sparks. For the last fourteen years, hiding has kept me safe from the government, while my uncle's magic has kept the public safe from me. Now, just when I've found some semblance of control over my power, my world turns upside down again. A terrorist organization has kidnapped my dad, thrusting me to the center of an investigation that quickly reveals my anonymity was only an illusion. Some of the most famous, dangerous supernaturals in the world surround me, and their agendas are as mystifying as my growing powers. My sworn protector is none other than Riven Thorne - arguably the oldest, most powerful vampire in existence. But even silver linings cast shadows; Riven has more secrets than I do. My name is Alfea Sullivan, and for better or worse, the world is about to find out exactly who I am.
