Everything you think you know about myths and legends is about to change.
If Death had a child, it would be Shadeborn.
Mike's a misguided thug haunted by bad luck, tragedy, and a psychopathic brother. Darius sits atop a world he's ready to abandon. Sheila is just looking to make a meal of the magically gifted.
What do they have in common?
People they know are being killed. And a slew of supernatural creatures, the Arcane Police, and the N.Y.P.D all want them either dead or captured.
Oh, there's also Phil. But when Phil's around, people die. Lots of them.
So what's to be done when the hunt is on, death or worse comes a calling, and immortals decide to shape the life of men?

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy. Just as his fingers were trying to push past my underwear my hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Don't," I warned, in a low voice making sure nobody would notice. "Watch me fuck you in front of every single person here unless Tobias stops looking at you like that." He explained. I glanced over to Tobias who was looking angrier than ever. If Tobias didn't stop looking at me not only would my husband keep to his word, someone would send a bullet through his skull. *+*+* Scarlett Salvadore was to be married to a man she hated with all her heart to increase her father's power.

Because I Love You✔️
They say love conquers all. His shattered the fabric of reality and began a world-altering change that would eventually shift the concept of life and death forever. 🌺💛👑💛🌺 Phil wasn't exactly the best at being the boy-next-door. Shy, clumsy, and highly insecure with his life as a whole - he was the complete opposite of his girlfriend, a bubbly nerd named Ella. But like Yin and Yang, the two of them were inseparable... at least, until the night of Ella's sixteenth birthday, when she died in his arms after an unexpected shooting. Traumatized and blinded by grief, Phil took his own life only three months later on his seventeenth birthday, but instead of finding his much-expected peace in the afterlife, he somehow ended up on a parallel world called Atlas as an almost monstrous-looking version of himself. Trapped in the kingdom of Aerika, a bizarre place chock full of things like magic, elves, orcs, demons, faeries, squirrel-riding women, assassins, a tyrannical hierarchy, and everything else under the sun, he finds himself very confused and depressed. But before he can begin to make sense of anything, he's captured and caged like an animal by a ruthless girl who looks and sounds exactly like his late girlfriend. Is this his own, personal hell? Or is it a second chance? And if it is a second chance... does he even want to take it? (Highest Ranking - #8 in Fantasy!!!!! ❤) (TRAILER INSIDE) Copyright © by Aaron Ledgers.

After the entire Coven was murdered by the La Luna werewolves, the power--and responsibility --went to Eden. Tasked with moving to a different state and rebuilding a Coven that no one wants to join, the last thing she needs is to take in her half-wolf, half-witch cousin, Dasher. But what else can she do? She can't turn him away. Dasher's mom has always protected him from the werewolves after him, although he never knew. But now that he is one, he can't exactly run from his destiny any longer--and when he mates with the Alpha's intended bride, things get a whole lot more complicated for him. Eden has nothing but determination to restore the Coven to its former glory, even as she's finding ways to keep Dasher safe, fighting against La Luna's Alpha, Fenley, and figuring out what, exactly, is her role in the entire thing. Life only becomes more complicated when Dasher mates with Fenley's intended bride and Eden has to ally with the same wolves that slaughtered her Coven. But nothing is as it seems, and the more twisted it becomes the more secrets are uncovered. Dasher knows that, no matter what the outcome is, a lot of blood is going to be spilled. And Eden, ever the optimist, knows that, no matter what the outcome is, a lot of wine is going to be drunk.Complete

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
