Phoenix Hoard
#1 Ebony Gate
#2 Blood Jade
A Slayer's apprentice in peril. A deadly tournament. Roxy and her crew will risk it all to emerge victorious.
Roxy just wants her old job back, but destiny has other plans. The Slayers made their wishes clear, and now she's back to hustling repair jobs while dodging job offers from a certain prince. But her peaceful life doesn't last for long. O'Malley is still out there, and this time, he's pulled Roxy's old apprentice, Finn, into the Pit for a deadly tournament.
When Roxy's sensei tells her to get back in the game, she knows she can't say no. Joined by Cordelia and Dario, they set out to fight their way through the Pit to free Finn and claim the prize. But the stakes are high. The life of a Slayer trainee and the soul of the Drowned City Pack are on the line.
As Roxy and the gang enter the Pit, they quickly realize that they're in for a wild ride. They must battle fierce opponents, face dangerous challenges, and Roxy must tap into the heart of her Breaker magic to win the day and risk revealing her secret to all.
But Roxy is not one to give up easily. She and her friends are determined to succeed. Will they be able to free Finn and take the prize, or will they fall to their enemies?
Roxy Lim is now an inked member of the Seattle Slayers, tasked with enforcing the Oceanic Pact in a city teeming with deadly shifters, devious vampires, and scheming fae.
I made it into the Slayers by the skin of my teeth and now I just need to figure out a plan to ship some Cure back to my mom. Cure doesn't survive the Crossing through the Veil without the right vessel. But earning my stripes with the Slayers should get me just the vessel I need to do it.
The head of the Dojo has taken an interest in my training. I got my ink and was riding high when my shifter landlady Mrs. Chu goes missing in the Wilds. Faced with the decision to either carry out my duties with Slayers or to bail to the Wilds to find the one person in Seattle who has taken care of me like family, it's no choice at all.
What I thought would be a simple errand lands me in a full scale vampire war between the Night Court and a rogue vampire named O'Malley. Shifters are dying and now I can't leave and the Slayers won't help.
All I've got to save Mrs. Chu and the rest of the shifters is my hammers, a sharp knife, and my growing Breaker magic. I'll use everything I've got but will it be enough to stop O'Malley's war?
Roxy's got two hammers, a bit of Breaker magic, and the deathbed promise she made to her father.
The Seattle Slayers, an elite cadre of fighters dedicated to protecting the city, is having their Trials for new initiates. My dad was a Slayer-one of the best. I thought his legacy might give me an edge in the Trials, but I was wrong. If anything, it made them harder on me.
But joining the Slayers is my best chance to save my mom. And, maybe, I need to see if I can fill my dad's shoes.
The only things standing between me and my dreams are all the other elite fighters and magic users who want their spot on the Slayers too. I will battle them all-fae warriors, river demons, and a vicious animage who hates my guts.
I've got my hands full, but a certain vampire princeling further complicates my life even as he saves it. He's powerful, handsome, and deadly-a combination I find hard to resist.
If you enjoy slow-burn romance and rooting for the underdog, cross over to Twilight Veil, where life is cheap and vampire blood spends the best.
