The Embers are dying.

For hundreds of years, the flame-wielding warriors have been the last line of defense against the creatures of the night, but their light is fading.

When Kole Reyna, Ember of Last Lake is wounded by a demon unlike any they have seen before, the Emberfolk believe it is a sign of an ancient enemy returned, a powerful Sage known as the Eastern Dark.

With the tribes of the Valley besieged, the land’s greatest champions rise up to meet the coming threat. But even the combined might of the elemental Landkist may not be enough to stem the tide of darkness.

Kole has never believed in destiny, but with his people hanging on the precipice and his home on the brink of ruin, he must discover the limits of the one power he fears above all else.

His own.

Love potion makes one powerful weapon.
Destiny and her twin sister, Fate, sell love in a bottle. Teenagers are desperate for their love potions and they make a killing off of their classmates.
Which they spend on shoes.
But then warlocks attack their school, hoping to steal their magic, and Destiny and Fate are launched onto the path the stars have chosen for them. Only through the strength of their bond, all of Fate’s light and all of Destiny’s darkness, will they be able to survive this.
Quin, the super-rude son of a witch, needs Destiny’s help to save his mother. He doesn’t like her, either—at first. But he soon realizes that Destiny is everything he never knew he wanted. The only problem is that Destiny doesn’t believe in love. If it can be sold in a bottle, it can’t be a real thing, right?
If they survive this, Quin is going to prove her wrong.
