There's something wrong with Lena.
The summer before her 18th birthday is meant to be packed day to night with friends, boys, and parties on the beach, but a sudden change of plans kicks off the summer in middle-of-nowhere Louisiana with an aunt and uncle she's not seen since childhood. Her suitcase is packed for a week, but her gut tells her there's something else in store for her.
Suddenly, everything she's known is called to question when a moody, charming stranger lifts the veil on a bizarre and magical world.
Plauged by ominous visions and cursed with a power she can't understand or hope to control, the fun has only just begun. A powerful force is rising, a force intent on taking both Lena's power and her life. With danger lurking in every corner, Lena must learn to harness her newfound talents to save herself or perish at the hands of darkness.

Bound by prophecy and shadow, Maya must uncover the truth of her family's power-the *Crystalborn*-a lineage once sworn to guard the earth's heart from the darkness below. Yet with every step deeper into the forest, that darkness awakens...and it knows her name. As the boundary between magic and madness thins, Maya will have to decide what she's willing to become to protect what remains of her world. Because some destinies are not chosen. They are awakened.

After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter.

For the first time in her life, Elara is not alone. But her refuge is fragile. As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family. With vengeance in her heart, Elara's journey becomes a fight for survival, and a rebellion against the oppressive rule that has outlawed her very existence.

A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat.

The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

--- When Ivy Rivers returns to the grand estate where she spent her teenage summers, she's no longer the shy, quiet girl trailing behind her best friend. At twenty-one, she's grown - confident, ambitious, ready to face the world. But nothing could prepare her for Lena Hart. Lena, Mia's older sister, once a distant and dazzling figure, is back from law school - sharper, darker, and far more dangerous than Ivy remembers. And Lena sees her now. What begins as stolen glances and lingering touches spirals into something neither of them can resist: a dangerous, slow-burning game of temptation and control that threatens to destroy the fragile trust between Ivy and the only family she's ever known. Torn between loyalty and desire, innocence and surrender, Ivy must decide how far she's willing to fall - and whether Lena Hart will be the one to catch her when she does. Some games are never meant to be played. Some lines should never be crossed. And some touches are impossible to forget. ---Complete
