"Step into the intoxicating danger of The Bloodfire Oath as the fierce delivery of Laura Horowitz and the commanding resonance of Michael Gallagher collide in this fiery duet.
Magic takes more than blood. It demands your soul.She entered the Guild to destroy it. She didn't expect him to hold the match.
Under the iron fist of the Arcanum Order, magic belongs only to the elite. For Scythe Valethorne, survival isn't enough. By day, she scrapes by in the city's poorest district, by night she is an assassin to provide for her family. When one mission turns into a deadly gamble, Scythe risks everything to steal a place into the Arcana's stronghold - the Guild.
But when Asher Kyrell, the Guild's most enigmatic leader, chooses her as his apprentice, Scythe is pulled into a lethal game of power and deception. His red gaze pierces her lies, his touch threatens her control, and every lesson draws her deeper into his fire. Yet Asher keeps his own deadly secrets, and every spark she feels for him could burn her mission to ashes. For one glance too long could cost her everything, and one stolen kiss could destroy them both.
Through danger and desire, Scythe uncovers far more than she bargained for within the walls of the Guild; about herself, the other initiates, and the sinister fractures within the perfect Arcanum Order. Scythe must decide if her fate lies in enduring the regime - or breaking it. Because what if magic isn't just gained . . . but is still born in the shadows, waiting to rise again?

"Der hellste Stern braucht die dunkelste Nacht
The Stars are Dying ist der Auftakt der spicy New Adult Fantasy-Trilogie Nytefall: düstere Romantasy um Vampire und Star-Crossed Lovers in einer Welt voller Magie, Geheimnisse und Verrat.
Ich habe mehr als dreihundert Jahre darauf gewartet, dass du zurückkommst.
In Astraeas Welt durchstreifen Vampire die Nacht auf der Jagd nach Blut und Seelen, und ein grausamer Herrscher hält die fünf Reiche der Menschen in seinem eisernen Griff.
Astraeas eigene Vergangenheit aber ist in Dunkelheit gehüllt, nur bruchstückhafte Erinnerungen an fünf Jahre sind ihr geblieben. Bis sie eines Tages Nyte begegnet, dem geheimnisvollen, mächtigen Vampir, der sie in ihren Träumen verfolgt und dessen Schatten ihr tagsüber nie von der Seite weichen. Astraea weiß, dass sie ihm nicht trauen kann - und wird doch immer stärker von seinem düsteren Charme angezogen. Bis Nyte ihr ein unwiderstehliches Angebot macht. Auf der Suche nach Antworten gerät sie in eine Reihe tödlicher Prüfungen, das Libertatem, in denen die Menschen für ihre Sicherheit vor den Wesen der Nacht kämpfen. Zerrissen zwischen ihrem Pakt mit Nyte und ihren eigenen Geheimnissen, muss Astraea schließlich eine unmögliche Entscheidung treffen: Was ist es wert, ihr Leben aufs Spiel zu setzen?

"When a true heir awakens, a returning past can break. And when war follows, a lifelong vow may shatter.
A RISE . . .
Awakening from a dark defeat, Faythe discovers a greater threat to the life she took back. Staggering truths will challenge her and reveal that some bonds were forged to defy. With the battle lost, the war has just begun, and as an enemy is captured, it soon becomes clear a storm can be tamed but never bottled.
A THRONE . . .
Her return to Rhyenelle stirs Faythe's rival to the throne. In this new twist of fate, against the pressures of the court, it's a test of strength and will to keep her cunning cousin at bay. Two hands reaching for a crown is a challenge bound to end in blood, but which one will bleed for their right to reign?
A PHOENIX . . .
Still, no conflict in the realm can match that which began long ago. The time is now for Faythe to face her title of heir before kingdom. But not without the help of those tied in destiny may the Phoenix Queen rise should all burn and fall."
"In a war of hearts, fates will be sealed. But in a battle of thrones, no bond may be truly unbreakable.
A COURT . . .
To reclaim her throne, Tauria leaves behind her safety to travel across courts. A marriage alliance with the prickly Prince of Olmstone could grant her the power to fight for her kingdom . . . or inspire a monarch's deadly vengeance that threatens all she holds dear.
A BOND . . .
No amount of distance can make Nik forget his desires, but caught in a torturous conflict of heart against duty, he's at risk of losing both. Now is the time to choose. Claim the bond and accept the prophesy that kept him from her all this time . . . or set his aching heart—and hers—free once and for all.
A DARKNESS . . .
But peace is never promised when the shadow of war looms, and Tauria's harrowing discoveries foretell a damning fate of evil to all those who bear a crown. To love may be to condemn, but to deny would be a far deadlier curse at the hands of the sinister forces intent on taking them down."
"As darkness descends, two destinies will merge. But as embers fly, one may rise from the ashes.
A Kingdom . . .
Far from the land she knows, Faythe is beckoned toward the secrets of her heritage. Through trials of her name and a challenge to her claim, does she have what it takes to rule? Faythe bears a future that haunts; Reylan harbors a past that lingers. At his side, what ignited in her heart is kindling, but letting her guard fall could break them . . . or make them stronger.
A Quest . . .
Now faced with a far deadlier evil than the king, a higher calling seems determined to turn the hourglass on Faythe’s quest to save Ungardia. But she soon learns time isn’t the only thing working against her. Darkness is rising, history is stirring, and the hunters are about to become the hunted.
A Destiny . . .
For fate cannot be outrun. Faythe's powers are manifesting beyond her control, and if she can't save herself, no one can. Defying destiny is not without consequence, yet Faythe may be willing to pay the highest price of all to forge a path to true freedom––for her kingdom, and for the ones she loves."
"A Duty . . .
Bound in service to the king within the city, Faythe grapples with morality to keep herself and her friends safe. Nik's loyalty is tested as he struggles against his father's cruel ways. When blood and duty divide the heart, can love conquer all?
An Alliance . . .
While the kingdoms prepare to unite, Faythe is forced to remain hidden in plain sight. But suspicions quickly arise with the mysterious fae general from an ally court. Getting close to Reylan could unravel truths she longed for, but trust is hard to gain and even harder to hold. When lurking evil threatens the alliance that keeps them all safe, Faythe may find herself on the side where danger meets desire in a force that could break past the guard on her heart.
A Choice . . .
The threat of battle isn't the only conflict to fear. Faythe can't forget the deal she struck in the woods to save her friend's life—and it's time to fulfil. Finding the temple ruin leads them to harrowing discoveries within the castle . . . and something more sinister than the war that lingers. It seems everyone will receive more than they bargained for. A history that haunts, truths that destroy, and a tangled destiny they didn't expect."
"A SWORD . . .
In the impoverished outer town of a kingdom where fae outrank humans, Faythe, an orphan with a talent for swordplay, knows the importance of keeping her head down around the fae patrol. She and best friend Jakon long for a better life, and her desire to swing her sword in combat may bring the purpose and coin she's yearned for.
A DREAM . . .
When she draws the attention of royal guard Nik, she soon learns that her mortal nature isn't the only reason to remain out of sight. Nik is a Nightwalker, a silent assassin of the mind with the power to enter others' dreams, and whether she trusts him or not, he's about to awaken abilities in Faythe that shouldn't exist in a human. Nightmarish abilities. Deadly abilities. Abilities that will teach Faythe blood really does run thicker than water . . . and if she doesn't trust in higher powers soon, blood will run indeed.
AN HEIR . . .
For this is no battle Faythe can fight with steel. Within the city walls, suspicions are arising, and here in the outer town she has deeper bonds to protect. It seems everyone will die with a dark secret to tell, but what if one unlikely human girl was born harboring the darkest secret of all . . . ?"
