Blood Howls

Kael Thorne's twenty-fifth birthday was supposed to be ordinary—dinner with family, maybe a call from his sister. Instead, it becomes the night his parents die and a supernatural assassin called the Hunter comes to claim what flows in his veins.

Kael is the last descendant of the Progenitor, the first werewolf, and his blood is the key to an ancient relic that could either save the world or destroy it. Thrust into a war between supernatural races, he must forge unlikely alliances with exiled Fae warriors, battle-scarred trolls, storm-wielding djinn, and vengeful banshees—all while learning to master the beast within.

As genetically twisted monstrosities ravage cities and the mad tyrant Valek Dorne builds an army of horrors, Kael faces an impossible choice: embrace the very power that makes him a target, or watch everything he loves burn.

Alpha. Warrior. Legend.

Forgotten Son

Christos Thanatos has spent twenty-six years hiding in plain sight—working security jobs, living in a Chicago high-rise, and pretending the voices of the dead are just background noise. The son of Hades should be ruling the underworld, but he's chosen the mortal world instead, finding peace in the arms of Elena Martinez, an art history student who sees past his supernatural nature.

Then Elena is kidnapped.

The ransom isn't money—it's blood. Five divine bloodlines must die to fuel an ancient ritual that will birth a god without conscience, without love, without the weaknesses that make divinity worth worshipping. Each kill brings Christos closer to saving the woman he loves, but further from the man he wants to be.

As Chicago burns with divine fire and Titans descend from storm-torn skies, Christos discovers his father's true plan: not just to create the perfect god, but to tear down the masquerade that has kept supernatural and human worlds separate for centuries.

Out of Time

Cael Ward Corbin has spent years hiding what he is: a memory-binder caught between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, hunting rogues in the shadows of the Interworld Accord. When Prince Alarion is found crucified in a human town square, carved with the forbidden sigil of the long-dead Outriders, Cael's investigation unearths a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of his own buried past.

Partnered with Vaelira Elaren, a Court agent whose loyalties run deeper than her blade, Cael follows a trail of royal blood and stolen names across the Feywild's most dangerous territories. Each murder reveals another piece of an ancient ritual designed to birth a god without conscience—and each clue points toward a truth the Courts erased from history.

But the killer isn't just rewriting the future. They're unmaking the past, using forbidden shadowglass magic to steal identities and forge Mirrorborn assassins. And when Cael discovers his own name carved in blood at a crime scene, he realizes he's not hunting the conspiracy—he's part of it.

Which Way the Wind Blows

When Veraden—son of the ruthless Queen Mab—rescues the tortured Lord Calendreth from an Unseelie dungeon, he triggers a war that will shatter the ancient balance between the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Raised in secret by a shapeshifting Glamourling, Veraden has spent decades infiltrating his mother's forces, but his rescue mission sets in motion a chain of betrayals, bloodshed, and broken oaths that will consume both realms.

As Queen Titania of the Seelie Court watches her kingdom burn and her beloved King Oberon fall to Mab's devastating magic, she must forge an unlikely alliance with the shadow-born warrior who carries her enemy's blood. Alongside the fierce commander Elanai Vire, Veraden leads a desperate resistance from the ashes of the fallen court, striking at the heart of his mother's empire.

But Queen Mab's hunger for vengeance runs deeper than mere conquest. Haunted by ancient betrayals and the sister who once stole her crown, she will stop at nothing to reclaim what was taken—even if it means destroying the son she abandoned and the world itself.

The Descent - Book 1

Bartending in the vampire-owned clubs of Kharvas, Lucien lives quietly among the supernatural elite—until ancient relics begin awakening in his presence and demons start hunting him through the neon-lit streets. When he discovers his true identity as the son of murdered vampire royalty, he's thrust into a war that has been brewing since the fall of the old kingdom.

With the primordial demon Az'kaar stirring from his prison and vampire covens fracturing under the weight of corruption, Lucien must master elemental powers he never wanted while navigating deadly alliances with exiled nobles, assassins, and the mysterious Amaris—who has been protecting him from the shadows for years. But as he collects the six ancient relics tied to his bloodline, Lucien realizes he's not just a weapon in someone else's war.

He's the key to a door that should never be opened.

The fire remembers. The wolves are waking. And the descent into power comes at the price of everything you thought you knew about yourself.

The Descent: Ash Reborn - Book 2

Lucien Thorne awakens to a terrible truth—he died, and the Sixth Relic brought him back. Now, as the Council's final weapons emerge from shadow, he must confront not only their Hollow Ascendant and reality-warping Choir, but the growing realization that he is no longer merely a relic-bearer.

He is a living artifact himself.

Haunted by visions of a burning cradle and guided by fragments of his fallen sister Seraphine's memories, Lucien leads the Ash Rebellion through a landscape where time fractures and gods bleed into tomorrow. Alongside the fierce Amaris, the dreamwalker Ciryel, and the stalwart Kaemul, he must gather the scattered remnants of resistance before the Council's song of erasure silences every name that ever mattered.

From the Bone Archive's buried confessions to the mountain where the First Flame was born, from the city that was never supposed to exist to the choir that sang the sun to sleep, Lucien will discover that some victories require not the wielding of power, but the wisdom to let it go.
