Humanity is dying.
After a devastating plague nearly drove humans to extinction, salvation arrived from the stars. Twenty years ago, the alien Yin-Ra descended to Earth, introducing the mysterious Star Bond that forever changed the relationship between the two races.
Hera wants nothing to do with destiny. A ceramic artist content with shaping clay instead of fate, she never expected her newest pottery student to be a high-ranking Elder of the Yin-Ra. Calm, patient, and hiding far more than he admits, Zale slowly becomes impossible to ignore.
But while Hera is falling in love by choice, Zale is fighting a truth that could destroy everything they have before he can even confess it. As political tensions rise and dangerous secrets begin to surface, the two must decide whether trust can survive the truth and whether love can exist when destiny is no longer enough.
Some bonds are written in the stars. Love is still a choice.

Queen of Shattered Dreams
Sixteen-year-old Mila has caught the attention of the (soon-to-be) widowed king. She, however, has no desire to be queen, much less the wife of the disgusting old man. She longs for the freedom to develop her rare and forbidden gift of magic and to choose a future with her lifelong best friend, Alfrid. But what little hope she has for autonomy is lost when the Queen of Direwood plummets to an untimely death. She soon finds herself the reluctant bride of the vile, controlling king, step-mother to his dead-eyed twelve-year-old daughter and an unprepared participant in the trials of court politics. Her only comfort comes from the apothecary-who offers the young queen an opportunity to cultivate her magic and a plan to secure her future. But in time, the entire palace begins to doubt Mila's ability to provide an heir. Desperation turns to resentment when she discovers the king's mistress is with child. But it is the vindictive actions of the king that lead Mila to realize that he'll destroy her if she doesn't destroy him first, tempting her to use her gifts in darker, dangerous ways.Complete

In the humid, moss-choked darkness of 2003 Louisiana, the St. Roch Syndicate dispatches its most reluctant assets to a derelict summer camp deep in the Atchafalaya Basin. Tess Beauvais, a twenty-three-year-old sorceress drowning in student debt, and Anaïs Chen, a twenty-two-year-old jaded medium, are tasked with a seemingly simple job: retrieve the lost research notes of a vanished Syndicate scientist. Their mission unravels when they cross paths with brothers, Rafe and Frazier. After bailing their father's friends out of jail, twenty-three-year-old Rafe and twenty-year-old Frazier devise a devious plan to get their mercenary patriarch out of the country - only to be ensnared in a nightmare far beyond his depth. The camp is ruled by the Vigneauxs - an unhinged brood obsessed with the grotesque, who breed unnatural beasts in the wetlands, collect bones for unspeakable experiments, and feed trespassers to the horrors lurking beneath the cypress trees. Now Tess, Anais, Rafe and Frazier are marked as the next main course. With their luck running out and monsters closing in, the quartet are forced into a bitter alliance. Each must decide how much of their soul they're willing to trade - whether to outrun the camp's hungry shadows, or become something monstrous themselves. In the end, only the land will remember what is sacrificed to survive a season of sour earth.Complete

At age six, Pullman Grier was abducted by a monster. Held deep underground in the Ontario wilderness, he and four other children laboured for years, scrounging for the creature's food, until the day the impossible happened: Pull slew the monster. Three children crawled out of the cold earth and made the long, bleak trek back to civilization. Now an adult in frozen Winnipeg, Pull scrapes by on a minimum-wage job, a stomach destroyed by childhood malnutrition and a grim sense of humour. The only good thing in his life is an online group that uses image recognition to search for victims of human traffickers and return them home. Then, a local boy vanishes. Unable to find help, the boy's desperate father approaches Pull's group. Only Pull sees the calling card of the monster that took him sixteen years prior. The monster that is supposedly lying dead and buried in the Canadian wilderness. Knowing the thing that stole his childhood could still be abducting children and that more will be taken if he fails, Pull scours secrets buried in his old prison. Secrets that have lurked in the darkness just beyond the firelight for all of human history.Complete
