In the dying city of Gravelight, hope is a dangerous thing.
Walled in by fear and control, its people live under constant surveillance, tested, sorted, and discarded when deemed unfit. Beyond those walls lies only the wasteland - the Dead Zones - where monsters and myths are said to roam. No one who's taken ever returns.
Seventeen-year-old Avalon Thorne has learned the rules: stay invisible, stay alive, don't ask questions. But when she and her closest friend, Fox, see smoke rising from far beyond the wall - where nothing should burn - something shifts. It's small, fleeting, but undeniable. Proof that maybe the world isn't as dead as they've been told.
Soon Avalon, Fox, and their friends - the troublemaking twins Reggie and Riggs, and the quiet, brilliant Kendrick - find themselves tangled in the cracks of a system built on silence and fear. The more they uncover, the harder it becomes to look away... and the more dangerous it is to know the truth.
Because in Gravelight, ignorance is survival.
And rebellion begins with a single question:
What really lies beyond the last light?

Even If It Breaks Me
The world ended quietly. Not with fire, not with warning-just silence, and the ruins left behind. Claira never asked to become a fighter. But survival doesn't wait for those who hesitate. Each step forward is heavier than the last, burdened by the memories she refuses to let go of and the people she refuses to stop searching for. Inside the fragile safety of an abandoned school, a group of strangers fights to hold onto something like hope. Outside its fences, the road is endless, broken, and filled with threats that never sleep. And somewhere out there-whether in the ashes, the shadows, or the miles ahead-are the answers Claira can't stop chasing. A story of survival, memory, and the thin line between holding on and letting go.

Elowen Skye Thorne has always felt like the outsider in her pack, too strong, too fast, too... different. Raised by a strict gamma couple deep in the wilderness of northern Minnesota, she's spent her life hiding her instincts, biting her tongue, and fighting the pull of something ancient within her. But three days before her 18th birthday, a box of forbidden letters arrives, written by her late father, a fallen werewolf beta who died protecting her from something far worse than hunters. The truth inside those letters? Elowen isn't just a wolf. She's a hybrid. The only one of her kind. Born of a powerful fae royal warrior and a werewolf. Marked by the Moon. Chosen by prophecy. And now... hunted by The Aegis Protocol, a secret organization hellbent on capturing, dissecting, or breeding her into submission.

But fate has a twisted sense of humor, and destiny doesn't give her just one protector. It sends five. A dominant werewolf Alpha heir with something to prove A brooding vampire noble older than most kingdoms A dragon shifter with fire in his veins and rage in his soul A bear shifter who's silent, deadly, and terrifyingly loyal And a powerful mage with secrets darker than his magic They're drawn to her by something ancient.

And some ghosts don't stay buried. Because once you leave the Vultures... there's no way back. But the world doesn't let you go that easily. *All Rights ReservedTerminé
