"A long-lost noble of the ruthless vampire court discovers she might not need to choose between her two suitors in this blood-pounding new romantasy from the USA Today bestselling author of the Bitten and Bound series.
Corinthe has spent a lifetime longing for excitement outside her sleepy human village. As a dhampir born of a human mother and vampire father, her unique abilities make her desired by those who lurk across the Feyline-the boundary that keeps the magical realm in perpetual twilight where vampires hold dominion. To stay safe, she's concealed her supernatural strength and taste for blood from her human neighbors, but when her yearning for excitement accidentally exposes her gifts, she is captured to sell to the highest bidder.
Terrified, she expects the worst. But rescue comes in the form of Vander, a handsome stranger who whisks her from the auction stage and across the Feyline . . . where he reveals himself to be a vampire knight of King Rasimir's court. Notorious for his cruelty, the deranged king is determined to extend his rule to the farthest reaches, and Vander has been tasked with delivering Corinthe to him.
Now a pawn in the vampire court, Corinthe learns that Rasimir intends to marry her off to the arrogant Prince Lorcan and exploit her daywalking abilities for his own gain. But a wedding isn't the only obstacle in her path to freedom. While Vander burns with dangerous charm, Lorcan watches her with hungry eyes. And both men claim they can help her-if she can trust them."

"Summon the sun. As heir to the Summer Court, I was born to wield sunlight like a weapon. But when my father dies, the sunstone—the source of my kingdom’s power—vanishes. To claim my throne, I must retrieve it and prove my worth.
Alone and desperate to save my crown, I enter the human realm…and end up rescuing two charming, infuriating thieves from the hangman’s noose.
Nikolas is a silver-tongued scoundrel with a crooked grin and a past he won’t talk about. Dain is his brooding, silent shadow with magic in his veins and wicked skill in his hands. They claim they can help me, but I'm not sure what they want in return.
Wanting them is reckless. Sleeping with them is a mistake I only intend to make once. But when we touch, my power stirs. And when we burn together, the sunstone beckons.
Now I’m deep in the human realm, my days spent hunting the stone and my nights tangled between two men I can’t afford to fall for. Because the only thing more dangerous than loving them… is trusting them. And when you play with fire long enough, something always turns to ash."
"With the bonds I forged in the vampire court shattered, I seek refuge in a foreign kingdom. Surrounded by questionable allies, I long to forget the past. But every time I close my eyes, I see the men I left behind. My dreams haunt me, stirring up feelings and desires I'd rather forget.
And then there's Midian, a king who shouldn't exist. He whispers in my mind, hinting at power that could be mine for the taking. Enticing me with the promise of true freedom.
Showing me Laurent in peril . . . and Varick trapped in a cage.
As I venture deep into the heart of the old elven kingdom, I risk getting ensnared in a trap far more powerful than I ever imagined. Will I be able to break the chains that bind me and save the men I thought I loved, or will I succumb to the darkness that calls my name?

"Seize the tempest. I’ve spent my life doing just that—harnessing wind and lightning to protect the vulnerable. But I’ve never quite belonged. The son of an elven mother and human father, I straddle two realms: the elven lands where I’m shunned as an outsider, and the human world where I’m viewed as useful but suspect. Forbidden to take a wife or sire children, my service as a celibate knight has given me purpose.
But now, I’ve been summoned to dangerous territory.
When the lords of the Spring Court ask me to aid in their battle against the monsters that threaten both of our worlds, I answer the call—and step into a whirlwind of duty and desire. The politics of the Spring Court are as volatile as the storms that surround the kingdom. But my forbidden attraction to King Tanyl poses the most risk. As charming and gallant as I remember, he draws me like a parched man to water. And when I meet his alluring queen, I find myself entangled in a web of powerful magic I’m ill-prepared to resist.
Torn between piety and desire, I must fight a war on two fronts. As the monsters multiply and Tanyl’s crown is threatened by enemies from within, I’ll risk everything to help my friend and his wife. But as blood flows and betrayal comes from an unexpected source, I’m confronted with a bitter truth. I can keep my life, my vows, or my heart—but I can’t keep all three. And when the storm finally passes, I might end up losing everything."
"I woke on the floor of a prison cell, but I wasn't alone.
There was a man. My fellow prisoner. My protector. He spoke into my mind, saying things that couldn't be true. That I'd been bitten. That I was going to turn. That I had to obey him if I wanted to survive.
He was beaten, but his voice rang with power, and his body called to mine. And when he won our freedom, I learned he was far more powerful than I realized. I escaped one prison just to land in another. Now I'm caught in a war between shifters—and my protector has become my captor."
"Beware the shadows. Ever since I was a child, my father taught me to fear the elven kingdom that borders our lands. A place of twilight and falling leaves, the Autumn Court is rumored to be beautiful and deadly. No one knows what kind of creatures live in the thick, undying forests. No one knows what haunts the shadows.
But now those shadows have a name. And they’ve come for me.
Captured by the King of Autumn’s cruel bodyguard, Rane Laruthian, I’m carried into the heart of the shadow realm and dumped at the feet of King Andrin himself. As mysterious and dangerous as the shadows he commands, Andrin accuses my father of stealing the heart of Autumn’s power. Forbidden to enter the human realm, Andrin can’t make my father answer for his crimes—so he’ll take his revenge on me.
Surrender is unthinkable. I’m not without power, and I’ll do whatever it takes to prove my father’s innocence and win my freedom. But I didn’t realize what kind of revenge my captors had in mind. They’ll collar and keep me, molding me into the perfect weapon. They plan to use me against my father…but not until they use me for their own purposes first.
Caught in a web of magic and vengeance, I have to play a dark and seductive game. But when you dwell in the shadows, you discover that nothing is ever as it seems. As the game grows more deadly, I’m forced to question everything—including where I place my trust. And as I grow closer to my captors, I have to wonder if I really want to escape at all."
