After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Dopo aver salvato il Nikan dagli invasori stranieri e aver combattuto contro l'infernale imperatrice Su Daji, Fang Runin è stata tradita dai suoi alleati e abbandonata in fin di vita. Nonostante tutto ciò che ha perso, non ha rinunciato a lottare per il popolo delle province meridionali, a cui ha sacrificato così tanto, e soprattutto per il suo villaggio natale, Tikany. Nel tornare alle sue radici, Rin incontrerà ardue sfide, ma anche inaspettate opportunità, che le permetteranno di acquisire maggiore forza e influenza.

Rin, guerriera e sciamana, non può dimenticare le atrocità che ha dovuto commettere per salvare il suo popolo. Solo un desiderio la spinge a vivere: non vuole morire prima di essersi vendicata dell'Imperatrice, che ha tradito la sua patria vendendola ai nemici. E l'unico modo per farlo è allearsi con il signore di Lóng, discendente dell'ultimo Imperatore Drago, che vuole conquistare il Nikan, deporre l'Imperatrice e instaurare una repubblica. Così si getta di nuovo nella lotta. Perché in fondo lottare è ciò che sa fare meglio.

Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed. It would’ve been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus. It’d be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn’t claim me as his fated mate. Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha. But I can’t deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It’s primal. Passionate. Painful.

Welcome back to Redwood University, where a power-hungry shifter wants to rule them all…and those strong enough to stand up to him must fight. I tried to flee Redwood University, but when my father was kidnapped by a ruthless alpha, I was forced to submit.

At a club in Missing Mile, N.C., the children of the night gather, dressed in black, look for acceptance.

But for once in his life, Simon breaks the rules and rescues the cubs, saving them from a demon intent on draining them of their magic. Of course, all actions have consequences, and Simon's bold move earns him the displeasure of his peers and the attention of the cubs' alpha, a man named Gray Townsend.
