After her death, Kalista "Kallie" Halloway awakens in the Hiraeth-a forgotten realm between Heaven and Hell where souls live under quiet control and divine law. The Hiraeth isn't what she expected,and something is wrong. Her dreams bleed with voices that aren't hers. Her soul won't settle. And someone is watching her too closely.
Caelix, a high-ranking angel, is sent to observe her. Cold. Unshakable. Bound to duty. But Kallie begins to unravel something in him-and in the system he serves. What starts as surveillance becomes something far more dangerous when they both begin asking the wrong questions.
As the Hiraeth begins to fracture and ancient forces stir beneath their feet, the line between protector and hunted disappears. And one mistake could shatter the balance of everything-forever.

Flame of the Fallen
After nearly a year trapped in the endless dark of the Labyrinth, Caelia and her companions claw their way back into a world that has changed without them. Villages whisper of fading gods, rising monsters, and a Titaness walking among mortals. Only those who bled beside her in the Labyrinth know the truth: her real name is Kaelis, and she is no ordinary girl-she is the Titaness of Life and Knowledge, the one even Death cannot claim. At her side are the ones who endured with her: fierce Phoebe, radiant Ren, storm-eyed Caelus, fading Pan, shadowed Thanatos, and steady, sharp-witted Dorian. Together they are bound by fire-forged loyalty, but also by the prophecy that stalks them: a dear companion lost, a bond undone, a faith betrayed. As Kaelis struggles to keep her fractured family together, she must hide her true self from the world that calls her Caelia-even as her Titaness nature threatens to tear her apart. Caught between the name the world knows and the name her companions guard, Kaelis must decide whether she can defy fate itself...or watch the people she loves slip away, one by one.

There's a catch, however, and Evelyn finds herself not enjoying a fresh start as a healthy, average human, but living Below, a mysterious world of interconnected rooms populated by fantastical creatures-some with a taste for human flesh. The stranger who brought her there is a fashionable yet stoic demon librarian who calls himself Asmodeus, and it's not clear what exactly he wants with her. While Az, as she quickly nicknames him, works hard as a translator, he sends her to spend time learning with his estranged and unpredictable teacher, C, and her sweet and strong wife Susu. As she learns to work her new body, Evelyn begins a plot to get back to the human world of Above. But even as she struggles to understand Below in general and Az specifically, she's surprised to discover just how much she enjoys her new life-and her compulsory companion. She slowly begins to untangle who Az really is, but it's not easy-especially when something from his past is hunting them both! Part one completed, two coming soon. Updates daily at noon EST.Complete
