Lexi Oliver always knew that fairy tales weren't real. She did, however, believe in nightmares. That was because Lexi lived one firsthand. Cursed with an undying magic that is slowly sending her further into darkness, she'd gladly tell anyone that magic was not what it appeared to be. The curse appears powerfully once a month. During that time, the good and evil that is balanced inside of Lexi, takes a dangerous tip to evil, and she has no control.
After moving away from her old town on the West Coast, as a result of her strange behaviors being discovered, Lexi finds herself in the sleepy Southern town of Waycross, Georgia. For a year full of torment due to her odd personality and different style, Lexi is still safe and sound. But, when she befriends her bully, things take a turn.
The curse is brewing inside of Lexi, getting more uncontrollable with each phase. Despite her efforts, Lexi gets closer and closer to Eli. When she discovers his secret, the evil inside of her takes a very horrific control over her.
A sudden disappearance, a freakish outcast, and an ancient secret are the first steps into the tragic story of Lexi Oliver.

River Stone, an intrepid archaeologist, has uncovered what most only dream of-an ancient, hidden tribe deep within the Amazon, the Ibori, protectors of forbidden magic, vast wealth, and deadly power. With her archaeologist friend, Christopher Rai, she navigates the treacherous jungle to reach their sacred sanctuary. But it's Yisrael Ibori, the firstborn son of the clan's leader, Yuri, who is tasked with keeping watch over their "guests." Dutiful and fierce, Yisrael carries out his responsibility with unwavering focus, but there's a problem. River. Every step she takes, every movement of her body, draws his attention like a magnet. The way her hips sway, the deep rise of her chest, the soft curve of her lips-they haunt him, pulling at something deep inside, a longing he can't ignore. For River, the discovery of the lost Ibori history is the culmination of her career. She stands on the precipice of a monumental victory. But the moment her eyes lock with Yisrael's piercing onyx gaze, the treasures of the Ibori suddenly seem insignificant. There's something more precious here, something far deeper than the artifacts or the legends she's chased her entire life. What begins as a war between the mind and heart quickly grows into a battle neither of them can win. River knows her sharp intellect can't outwit Yisrael's unshakable resolve, and Yisrael is torn between his duty to his people and the undeniable pull of desire.
