Some legends don't die. They just bury themselves.
Two years after vanishing from the world that made her famous, Sienna Rowe is content to drown in neon lights and cheap cigarettes- until a stranger shows up with a name she buried in Istanbul and a journal soaked in blood.
Elias Rowe- her mentor, father figure, the man she couldn't save- left behind more than memories. he left secrets. dangerous ones.
When Nico, the son of an old ally, appears with Elias's journal and a warning about the ancient power hidden within its pages, Sienna is pulled back into a world of lost cities, coded riddles, and deadly histories. Together, they chase a myth across continents- and into the path of Victor Crain, a man who once funded discovery... and now trades in destruction.
But grief doesn't just vanish. And Siennas guilt isn't done with her yet.
To survive the riddles Elias left behind, she'll have to face the ghost of who she once was- and choose whether to burn out completely, or finally become the legend they think she is.

I Knew You
When the death of Sienna Ross' mysterious uncle leads her to a small town in Washington she quickly learns everything is not as it seems. And when Sienna locks eyes with Alpha Kaden Marsak, notoriously labeled bad news, she knows nothing will ever be the same. . . . Before James or Celie could bicker anymore the bell on the door rung again. This time I was fully aware. I knew the man that walked through the door, his black hair pushed back, white shirt spread over the length of his chest bulk with muscle. I'd met him once in another life, taller than Celie, and even James, stubble littering his jawline and upper lip. I knew him instantly, although I'd never met him- I knew him. He was perfect in every definition of the word and instantly I felt the need to rise from my chair and jump carelessly into his arms like a child. His eyes found mine instantly- familiar eyes dark like midnight surrounded by skin like sand- rough and fighting to stay youthful. He took a staggering step, never dropping his eyes from mine and for a moment he was still like a lion in hunt, not even his chest moved to take a breath. And then like a lion he inhaled sharply and abruptly crossed the floor in a few short strides. Our eyes never moved from each other. "Kaden-" James began as he fearfully followed Kadens glace to me, "She's not a rogue, shes-" He cut him off with a word spoken softly and from deep within his throat, "Mate."
SUCK

Two hundred years is too long to suffer when every drop of blood burns like fire. I'm ready to end it all. Then I meet Sienna Moren-the girl whose blood feels like poison and paradise. Loving her could kill me. Protecting her could destroy us all. And I've never wanted anything more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣄⡴⠚⠛⢶⡋⠁⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠴⠶⢶⣏⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢦⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠈⢷⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⡀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣀⣼⠧⡤⠴⠻⢦⡀⠸⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠟⠙⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢷⠶⠶⠚⠉⠉⠉⠀⢰⠇⠀⠀⡼⠙⢦⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⣼⠃⠀⣠⠟⣹⠶⣄⡀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⡼⠁⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⢰⠇⠀⣸⠃⡴⠃⠀⠈⠛⣦⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣆⡀⠘⠳⣤⣸⡌⢳⡄⠀ ⣼⠀⢀⡟⢰⠇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⡄⠀⠉⢻⡇⠈⢷⡀ ⣿⠀⢼⠃⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⢀⣼⠧⣄⠈⣇ ⢿⠀⠘⢦⡙⠳⣤⣀⣼⠀⠈⣧⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠛⠛⢻⠀⠀⣿⠀⢻ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⠶⣤⠉Complete

Whispers of a separate kind of rare magic wielder-one her people thought extinct and have sought to return to their land. When the leader of the Western Shifter Territory asks her to help spy on the wielders and assist the neighboring Southern Shifter Territory, Brynn jumps at the chance to visit the territory directly connected to the rumors. Her visit leads her directly to Ronan, one of the deadliest shifters in all of Eravella, and a man she's inexplicably drawn to. Now, Brynn's been enlisted to help the Southern Shifter Territory rescue one of their own. The recovery effort puts her closer to Ronan, and gives her the chance to locate the treasure her people searched for. Except Ronan has a close eye on her, and he's refusing to let her keep her past buried deep where it belongs. Now she must fight her developing feelings, locate the wielder, and make the ultimate decision: protect the wielder and keep her secrets, or betray those she's come to love.Complete
