In a game of hide and seek, the Fae will always win.

All the fairy tales told us they were right under our feet. If only we’d believed them…
Sarah watched as the Fae lured millions of men and women to their death in one night. Then did what anyone would, she ran. Sarah is offered an impossible choice: become a contender in the strange underground Fae games or die.

Can Sarah learn enough fairy magic to make it past the first challenge, or will she become another victim of the Fae games, locked in The Hallowed Hills for all time?

It’s a contest with one rule: compete to live.

Sometimes a fox is not a fox, and a man is not what he seems.

When Lachlan, the golden Prince of Faeries, is transformed into a fox and banished from the forest on the eve of his mother’s funeral, the last creature he expects to seek help from is a human.

But Sorcha Darrow is not so easily enchanted by the wily faerie. Only after discovering her father means to marry her to a wealthy Londoner does she decide to help him, seeking the power of a being even Lachlan is wary of: a kelpie. In finding one Sorcha hopes that she may just avoid her own dire fate in the process.

With Sorcha’s dreams being their only true form of communication, Lachlan has to race against time to break his curse and take his place as king before he’s doomed to live as a fox forever.

But someone else is after the throne, and may just use Sorcha’s growing connection to Lachlan to reach it.

But the politics of Forcadel are as volatile as its streets, and Brynna isn’t sure whom she can trust in the castle. And with two royals dead in less than a month, she must use all her wits to keep herself from becoming the third.

Scott Beck knows he will die on April 22nd.
What he doesn’t know, is which year.

Artificial Intelligence can read the deterministic nature of reality and has predicted the deaths of 144,000 Chosen men. When the first dates are shown to be accurate, many begin to question whether these dates have been predicted, or are due to the intervention of an administrative religious organisation called the Watchers.
England, like every other country on the planet, must come to terms with what appears to be humanity’s desire to bring about its own end.
But when Scott Beck is told the date of his predicted death is wrong, he sets off on a journey that explores the true nature of free will, sacrifice, and what it means to be human.

It’s not the end of the world … only humanity.
