"People die every day. Yet the folk only seem to care when people die at the hands of a villain or of a superior and darker power."

                                                                      ~ ~ ~ 

Heather Hawthorne enjoys her peaceful life as a medical herbalist in the city of Sedmion - Until one of her patient dies under inexplicable circumstances. Crops slowly begin to wilt, people grow ill and some descend into madness.


Curious - and maybe a little reckless - Heather sneaks away to investigate the scene of the death, letting her indiscreet curiosity get the best of her. There, she crosses paths with Cassius Servodax, the second Prince of Delaryr, who's investigating the same case.


Unfortunately for her, he's cold, arrogant and determined to make her life miserable.


A sliver of Fate - and a series of poor decisions - land her with the Black Crest Company, a team tasked with finding the link between the illness and The Hollows - an ancient legend buried deep out of fear.


However, always keep an eye on your surroundings. You never know what lurks within the shadows.

                                                                      ~ ~ ~

Blood So Wicked (Dark Vampire Romance) by bloodanddaggers

His scarred hand lingered on her hollow cheek. The black of his eyes focused in on the scar she got from the ambush. "You look so different." Evelyn lowered her head. "It was hell getting here." She felt his hand glide along her jaw and gently lift her head up, forcing her to look at him. Gods, he was devastatingly beautiful. The Selac sunset had nothing on Stryder. Not on the way the sun graced his face and sculpted him into something not of this world. "Are you okay?" He asked, almost hesitantly. Evelyn bit her lip. Stryder tracked every movement. "I'm okay." Her voice was empty and cracked. She was not okay. But she couldn't deny the physical relief she felt knowing Stryder was with her. She wouldn't walk away from him ever again. **NAME CHANGE** Previously titled "Crowned in Shadows" Evelyn Walker is a young woman who serves Lady Selene in the halls of the Paxton Estate.

Lock me up in an asylum where there are psychos who could hurt me? Put me to death? The possibilities are endless when it comes to getting rid of me, huh?" "I would do no such things."

Margie is your child now." "Margaret, you are sick. You need help." "The only help that I need..." She took a bow and arrow out of her bag, letting go of her bag in the process, and set the arrow on the bow. "...you all need help." Without any warnings, she grabbed ahold of me, forcing me to my feet, and held me close to her, pointing the sharp end of the arrow at my neck. "And the only way that you guys will receive help is if I kill my replacement." ----------------------------- If you like adventure, mystery, humor, or cliffhangers, then this is the book for you!

A place where they do not have to pretend that they do not exist to one another anymore.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
