Dr. Amara Morris has waited her entire career for this moment.
Chosen to lead a groundbreaking archaeological expedition on a remote island off the Romanian coast, she finally steps into her role as site director-alongside her closest colleague, Olivia Andile. What should be the discovery of a lifetime quickly becomes something far more unsettling.
As the moon waxes full, the island awakens. Excavations uncover more than ancient ruins, and unexplained phenomena ripple through the camp-whispers in the dark, vanished artifacts, and a growing sense that the island is watching them. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: this place was never meant to be disturbed.
Amid rising tension, Amara finds herself locked in a dangerous game of wills with the expedition's enigmatic mercenary commander-a man whose motives are as obscured as the island's past, and whose presence threatens to unravel both her authority and her resolve.
As buried truths surface and loyalties fracture, Amara must confront not only the island's violent history, but the shadows she's spent a lifetime outrunning. Some discoveries can change the world. Others demand a terrible price.
And the island always collects.

Alpha Ethan
Excerpt only: I quickly run in their direction as my claws elongate into fierce points. I watch as a man in all black strikes down and kills one of the innocent packless men before turning to another. I make a flying leap to attack and am suddenly hit with a strong, overwhelming scent of vanilla and citrus. "Mate!" My wolf yells in my head. My conviction evaporates and confusion hits me, but I don't have time to think about what this means. Before I even have the chance to realize what is happening, the unknown man who had been my target spins to face me. We are mere centimeters apart and pain explodes through my stomach. I look down to find a black hilt sticking out of me and crimson spreading out around it. The man drops his hand from the dagger and I look up to meet his eyes. There are so many emotions swirling through his gorgeous sapphire eyes, confusion, shock, sadness, fear, anger. I don't get the chance to contemplate this as I stumble backwards, my consciousness slipping away from me. And then everything goes black. ---------- Scarlet Denton is a fiery young she-wolf with no family and no pack.

Blood Moon Rising
In a world where the memory of a brutal war between vampires and other supernatural beings has faded into legend, a new threat emerges from the shadows. Over 500 years have passed since the vampires' bid for domination was thwarted, but now whispers of their return spread fear among those who remember the bloodshed. Artemis, a determined and courageous young werewolf, senses the looming danger. As the leader of her pack, she is committed to protecting her kin and preserving the secrecy of the supernatural world. However, her task is far from easy. The other werewolf packs, having enjoyed centuries of peace, are skeptical of the vampire threat and dismiss Artemis's warnings as mere paranoia. Despite her earnest efforts, Artemis faces skepticism and disbelief from other werewolves, who refuse to believe that the vampires are regrouping for a renewed assault. As tensions rise and time runs short, Artemis must navigate political strife, ancient rivalries, and the haunting memories of past wars to unite the supernatural community against a common enemy. Her journey is fraught with danger, as she faces not only the cunning and ruthless vampires but also the reluctance and infighting within her own kind. Artemis's resolve is tested as she balances her desire to protect her pack, maintain the secrecy of their world, and prevent the return of the Dark Ages. In a race against time, Artemis's leadership, bravery, and determination will be crucial in uniting the supernatural community against the vampire threat and safeguarding both their world and the unsuspecting human race. Will she succeed in her mission, or will the shadows of the past plunge the world into darkness once more?
