"There's no shadow I wouldn't face, no evil I wouldn't slay...simply to make you smile." When Astrid is betrayed and forced to flee her home, the last thing she expects is to be caught in the middle of a war. Saved by a werewolf named Raiden, she soon learns that her sheltered upbringing left her naïve to many things, especially love. Astrid joins Raiden's order of warriors, known as the Shadow Guard, and soon finds herself wrapped in a world of magic, assassins, and danger at every turn. Nothing is certain, especially her own past, and she comes to realize that her blood may be the key to saving the world. As the battle around her rages, so does the war in her heart, torn between the man she's relied on and the one that haunts her dreams. [Updates every day except weekends]
Asteria is the new pack witch after her grandmother\'s recent death, but she holds a heavy secret that weighs on every part of her life. She isn\'t just a witch, but half lycan, a creation that is forbidden by the most ancient of laws. Though her blood gives her exceptional power, Asteria has a greater concern: if her wolfish side were ever to emerge, it would kill her. When Alpha Zephyr chooses to keep Asteria in the pack regardless of her unique bloodline, neither of them expect to forge a deep connection, to crave the touch of the other despite the laws that forbid such a powerful union. But as the silver flames of their love and desire burn brighter, so do the fires of war. When the war makes its way to their home, the pack council pushes Zephyr to find a Luna, feeling that a forced mating bond is the best way to secure the safety of the pack. Torn between love and duty, Zephyr makes a choice that changes everything. As the two battle lycan politics and a number of enemies, one thing becomes increasingly clear to them both: They\'re willing to watch the world burn, if it means saving each other.
Faeries have ruled in their kingdoms of shadow and forest for centuries, hidden from the eyes of humans with the exception of one night every year, the Winter Solstice. This is the night when the magical barrier separating them is at its weakest, and the fae roam without consequence. The humans leave tributes, praying that the magical beings will pass them by. Bryn is a farmer's daughter, quiet and nothing out of the ordinary. Well, other than the flowers that bloom in her hair every morning and the voices that whisper to her in the wind. Beaten into silence by her magic-fearing family, she keeps her head down and desperately tries not to draw attention to herself. But an issue with the tribute arises, instituting an insult to the fae. They retaliate in a brutal dance of fire and blood, tearing apart the town. Determined to save her sister from their wrath and end the threat from the fae once and for all, Bryn unleashes the little bit of magic she has. When her magic catches the eye of the cruel Shadow Prince himself, she's offered a choice. Come with him, to his realm of stars and darkness, or let the world burn. Bryn agrees, quietly hatching a plan to kill the Shadow Prince and save her people once and for all. But when she finally gets close to him, can she fight through her fear and deal the killing blow, or will her bruised heart be her downfall?
