A new Queen who will ascend the throne. An age-old enemy who wants her magic. Can the Asters, her elite magic guard, bring their Queen safely home?
The Affinites have been keeping the Dark Kings from taking over the surface of the world ever since their first, all-powerful Queen, Aiyana, led them to victory 500 years ago. Now, Aiyana’s ancient magic has been reincarnated in a new Queen will ascend the throne, and a Dark King is desperate to capture her ancient power for himself.
Lian, Matu, Nathan, Sky and Sophie are the Asters, an elite group of Affinites, each with a unique magic. They have trained and fought alongside each other all their lives. They have deep bonds of friendship. They will lay down their lives for each other, their Queen, and their people. With a new and unknown Dark King to face, they may just have to.

A hunter with a dark past. A mysterious shifter out for vengeance. And a stolen power every monster desires…

I finally get my shot at redemption as part of a supernatural task force only to botch my first assignment in the Underworld.

Great way to let the captain down, Tatum.

A demon artifact sinks its claws into me, and now I’m bound to a vicious shifter who wants to rip me to pieces. Fane Maverick covets the amulet more than my death, though. And he’d do anything to get it.

Wicked. Depraved. Savage.

He’s promised to kill me after we sever the artifact’s hold.

But as the ancient power flows through my veins, a darkness grows. And the only person who can pull me from the brink of destruction is the one who wants me dead.

Trust him, and I may die.

Don’t, and the world will suffer.

A feline companion, a dash of magic, fae, and family secrets. What could go wrong?

Gently-bred herbalist Jessa Caldwell knows the rules. Ladies don’t shame their families. Ladies don’t confront Otherworldly threats. Ladies certainly don’t admit some taint of the fae has touched their souls—unless they wish to find themselves confined to an Institution.

So she hides amongst her plants and sketches until a threat to her beloved aunt forces her from the comfort of home to a town perilously near an Otherworldly Crossing.

To protect her aunt and the townsfolk she comes to care for, she must uncover the individual responsible for a series of attacks, but to find this saboteur will require embracing the part of herself she fears most. In a world where Vigilists lock up fae-touched mortals, Jessa must decide if she’s willing to risk exposing her true nature to defend those she loves.

Boomer is a pretty simple guy for an alien hybrid. He works as a bullet-resistant tank for a crew of street-running mercenaries. If someone needs hurting or something needs blowing up, he’s the guy to do it. It might not be the most glam life in Arutairu Megacity, but it’s his, and he’s rather attached to it.

When Boomer’s team takes on a shady job with the promise of a stellar payday, the proverbial excrement quickly meets the fan, and hit squads come after him and his crew. Normally, a few amateur goons with guns would just make for good target practice, but he suddenly finds himself unable to protect his friends. As if the army of mercs gunning for him and his rapidly dwindling crew wasn’t bad enough, he fears he might be losing his sanity as he blunders into the middle of a conspiracy so vast it will shake the foundations of the entire city.
