Einer erhebt sich aus der Asche der Apokalypse. Sie nannten ihn den Schwarzen Seraph. Der Junge, der in der inneren Welt des Dungeons als Todesengel bekannt werden sollte. Er überlebte, als alle anderen versagten, schloss den Dungeon ab und musste feststellen, dass sein Sieg bedeutungslos war. Er wurde von Amarath, dem Geist des Dungeons, dafür verflucht, dass er sich skrupellos auf seine Macht konzentriert hatte, und wurde in die Vergangenheit gestoßen, wo er im Körper seines kindlichen Ichs wiedergeboren wurde.

Mörder. Psychopath. Schurke. Seraph weiß, was er ist. Die beste Hoffnung für die Menschheit, den World Dungeon zu erobern und das Genesis Game zu überleben. Durch seine eigenen Taten ist Seraph zu einem Ausgestoßenen geworden, geächtet und verstoßen von den wenigen Menschen im World Dungeon. Er ist weit entfernt von dem Retter, der er werden sollte. Seine Mission, die Menschheit zum Altar des Endes zu bringen und sie vor Wormwood zu retten, wird durch den Hass der Elfen von Hometown ihm gegenüber und das Misstrauen der anderen Leute bedroht.

Four years ago, five kids started a game. Not all of them survived. Now, at the end of their senior year of high school, the survivors—Owen, Madeline, Emerson, and Dax—have reunited for one strange and terrible reason: they’ve been summoned by the ghost of Ian, the friend they left for dead. Together they return to the place where their friendship ended with one goal: find Ian and bring him home. So they restart the deadly game they never finished—an innocent card-matching challenge called Meido. A game without instructions.

Growing up on the magical island of Avalon should be great...but I have no magic to speak of. And my parents forbid me from leaving. So when I sneak out to Earth for a night and meet a hottie named Julian, of course I say yes to a date with him. But when Julian pulls me through a magical portal, I realize he isn’t human. He’s a half-blood faerie sent to bring me to his realm of the Otherworld. Because apparently, I’m a half-blood faerie, too. And I’ve been chosen to compete in the annual Faerie Games - a brutal, gladiator-like competition where half-bloods fight to the death.

Zombies. The fae realm is overrun with zombies. Against all odds, I mastered the magic gifted to me by the gods and won the Faerie Games - a twisted, televised game to the death. After winning the Games, I was supposed to be free to return home to Earth. But that was a lie. Now a deadly plague is rampaging the realm. The Otherworld is dying, and I might have the power to save it. If I can pull it off, it’ll be the perfect bargaining chip to get back home. I’d be a lot more confident if my soulmate, Julian, was fighting by my side. But he broke my heart and turned on me.

In the Faerie Games, it’s kill or be killed. And I’m going to survive, no matter what the cost. Who will win the next Emperor of the Villa competition? Will I tell Julian that we’re soulmates? And most importantly - will Julian, Cassia, and I defeat Octavia and make it out of the Games alive? I’ll do whatever’s necessary to survive. Because I’m Selena Pearce - raised by the leaders of Avalon, born of a powerful witch and a faerie prince, and gifted with magic from Jupiter. And I’m not going to let fear control me any longer.

I need to learn how to control my new magic — before it gets me killed. As the first ever Faerie Games player gifted with magic from the king of the gods — Jupiter — all eyes are on me. Especially since I won the first competition of the Games. Now I need to send three other players to fight in the Coliseum until one of them is dead. The two that survive will be gunning for me later. One player will win the Faerie Games and survive. The rest will die. I need to win. If that means getting close to Julian…then that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Blood is survival for seventeen-year-old Bly, who lives in the poverty-stricken human villages caught between enemy vampire and witch kingdoms. Most of the time, vampires and witches live in uneasy truce, buying human blood for their food and spells. But for two weeks a year, the ceasefire dissolves, and they hold the Revenant Games.

In her desperation to resurrect her sister, Bly betrayed Kerrigan, the vampire who she’d planned to sacrifice to the witches before she fell in love with him—only to find out that Elise was never dead. With nothing left, Bly will do whatever it takes to locate her sister. But when the vampire queens accuse the two of them of treason, they’re only offered one escape from execution: retrieving a mystical root that only grows on the banks of the Hallow Pool, where legend says that vampires and witches were created.
