Ancient magic meets modern mystery in the heart of a city where shadows hold secrets...

Corvus Blackwood isn't your typical rare books conservator. As the last of an ancient magical lineage, he guards more than just the timeworn texts in Maxwell Library's restricted section. By day, he preserves precious knowledge. By night, he transforms into a crow, protecting the boundaries between our world and the realm of spirits.

When graduate student Ash Sullivan walks into the library seeking an obscure book on protection rituals, Corvus recognizes something extraordinary-in Ash's notebook is a perfect drawing of a Blackwood ward, a powerful sigil that shouldn't exist outside his family's grimoire. Even more impossibly, Ash claims he saw it in a dream.

As dark forces stir in the city, displacing ancient spirits and corrupting magical foundations, Corvus must confront the possibility that Ash's appearance is more than coincidence. The Dusk Hunters, who once nearly destroyed his family, have returned with a devastating new weapon, and they seem unusually interested in the unassuming graduate student.

With wraiths prowling the streets and his family's enemies closing in, Corvus must decide: can he trust Ash with the truth of their mysterious connection? And what does it mean when the magic in Corvus's blood seems to recognize something ancient and powerful hidden within Ash?

MURDER OF ONE is a contemporary urban fantasy where family legacy meets forbidden romance, and ancient magic haunts modern streets.

#2 New Moon Series _An enemy of an enemy is a friend_ I have yearned for a mate ever since I learnt of one. Thoughts about having someone who would love me unconditionally plagued my mind every night. Entering the werewolf unraveled many secrets and I eliminated all the filty lies from the clean truth. I was alone in the human world and an outcast in the werewolf world. The day my father decided to accept me was the day I ran away and straight into the arms of his enemy─the Dark Alpha─who was my mate. My world shattered into pieces when I found out every single truth that was buried deep underneath. I had the jewel everyone searched high and low for, and because of that, I was most wanted. And the day I decided to leave my true nature behind... His enemy came for me─the ruler of demon wolves. _Keep your friends close and your enemies closer_ Throughout the miserable, tormenting years I've never met a women so beautiful as her. My beautiful mate. My beautiful weapon. Like me, she's broken in her own ways. I wanted to glue all those shattered pieces together, carving and molding it into my little wolf. The fact that she's my mate didn't change the past. Her father killed my father, leaving me as a broken child forced into training to rule the empire. To continue my father's legacy. To seek revenge. I grew up developing a hatred for hybrids─mixed breeds─I never intended to fall in love with her, nor did I intend to hate her. And yet I did both, but chose one over the other in the end. But my plans took a huge turn when I found out that I wasn't the only apex predator around.
