"Weapons are not born, they're made. And a weapon, I have become.
I am the scythe that will cleave the Gods' traitorous heads from their not-so-Divine bodies.
Forced to the dangerous Ortus Island and the very first Mortal Gods Academy, I know that time is running out for both me and the Darkhavens.
If we can't figure out what the Gods are planning and how to stop them, it's no longer just our lives on the line. It's the lives of every Mortal God in existence.
In the world of the Gods, there is only one truth.
Trust no one. Not even your blood.
Contains mature themes."
"Greed is lethal. Blood is honest.
Between the blood of gods and monsters, I am both killer and healer.
The Darkhavens were once my obstacle. Now, they may be the only safe haven I have left.
The Gods are lying to us all. They are not Gods at all, but creatures that came from another world to rule over ours.
Through blood, death, and pain, I will uncover what they have hidden from us and I will reveal their secrets.
I am Kiera Nezerac of the Hinterlands, daughter of the Divine. Assassin of the Underworld. And I am not leaving this world without the truth.
Contains mature themes."
"Enemies make dangerous lovers . . . or so they say.
I am not a chosen of the Gods, but a bloody tragedy of their choices. I have endured worse than the Darkhavens. Torture. Pain. Manipulation. There is nothing anyone can do to me that I have not already done to myself.
Ruen's betrayal will not break me. Despite the punishment I receive, my goal remains the same:
Find the target. Terminate them. Free myself from the Underworld Assassination Guild.
It doesn't matter if I let a single night of weakness bind me to one of them. I can't let it matter. They're all guilty in my eyes.
Before I am done, they will learn I am more. I am the kiss of death.
Contains mature themes."
"Desperation makes warriors of captives.
The Gods split the skies and rained down tyranny upon the mortal realm long ago. Ever since then, the only thing worse than being human is being of Divine Blood.
For someone like me—an undocumented God child, indebted to the Underworld Assassination Guild—that means only one thing: A life in the shadows.
Or so it should have been . . . until Mortal Gods Academy. Until them.
The Darkhaven Brothers are truly the worst of all the Gods' spawn. Arrogant. Wicked. Violent. To them, I'm nothing more than a human plaything meant for torment. For me . . . they're the path and the key to my freedom.
But if any of them find out who I am, what I am . . . even the shadows won't be able to save me.

"Found. Desired. Changeling.
The Court of Frost is not meant for the faint of heart—or for a bumbling changeling and her human friend. Cress has found herself plopped smack dab in the middle of Alfheim, otherwise known as the Realm of the Fae. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing—considering she has finally proven herself to be one of them—except she's brought along her best friend who is most certainly 100% human.
A spur of the moment announcement from Prince Roan, leaves Cress and the two remaining court heirs in a mess of a situation. As a potential crimson princess, Cress must somehow find a way to get through intercourt politics without getting herself—or her friend—killed.
Only one person can play the game of Fae politics better than anyone else. If she wants to survive, Cress is going to have to rely on the one prince she hates the most—the Prince of Frost.

"Betrayed. Kidnapped. Imprisoned.
I always believed my life to be simple—uncomplicated. But now, it's become more complicated than I ever would have thought possible. Taken hostage by Orion's elder brother, I come face to face with the most dangerous fate I've ever known. Tyr's betrayal is dangerous not just to me, but to all of Faekind.
A wicked plan. A King blinded by hate. A girl with a secret in her blood.
There are liars and deceivers all around, and if I want to survive to see the end of this Gods-forsaken war, I'm going to have to draw power from the three people who've trusted and protected me for the last few months. There has been enough of this senseless death and bloodshed. If we have any chance of survival, then we'll need to look for the path of redemption even if it comes from the most unlikely of sources.
Contains mature themes."
"Abandoned. Unwanted. Orphan.
In a time of war between mankind and fae, no one ventures outside of the safety of the human kingdom. Abandoned in the furthest corner of Amnestia, in a convent long forgotten by most, Cress grows up thinking she's nothing more than a human of horrendous skill and grace.
One moment, the quiet countryside of Amnestia where she's been raised her whole life is devoid of any danger and the next, it's there. Powered by a strange magical spell, a castle appears seemingly from nowhere. Ruled by a court of fae few humans had ever laid eyes on and lived to tell the tale, Cress stumbles right into the center of three royal princes. There, she discovers that perhaps she's not a human at all, but a changeling—a fae child left behind in the ancient tradition of an extinct court.
In the face of possible execution, she better hope she's a fae, because the worst thing a girl can be in the court of crimson is human.

"Betrayed by Bartoli and the man that was once supposed to be my King consort, I now realize that I never needed another’s power. All I need is my Kingdom, for which I will return. Aerea, the Goddess of fire, lives in my veins. I am Awakened. I am angry. With my newfound abilities and my Blood General at my side, nothing else matters. I am the rightful Queen of Rozentine and I will take my throne back. The time for peace is over. The only path left is revenge."
"Born as the daughter of the Saintess Queen, now my hands are soaked in blood. I am a killer. I am Awakened. I am a Queen without a throne. Against the wishes of my escort guard, Solomon, I must seek the aid of the kingdom of my betrayer. As the connection between Solomon and I soars to new heights, one thing is becoming incredibly clear: my newfound abilities have brought with them secrets. Dreams torment me, and I am lost to understand what they mean—and why the image of my Goddess’s lover looks like Solomon. A mad prince, a lost friend, mortal enemies—I have to find a way to save my country and my sanity."
"My closest friend has lost his mind. He killed my father, took over my kingdom, and despite the blood that now stains his hands, claims that we’re fated to be together. My salvation comes from the most unlikely of sources. To reclaim my throne, I’ll have to rely on the one man I’ve hated my entire life for survival. Solomon Winett is the noble descendant of barbarian warriors and the bane of my existence. He’s obnoxious, stubborn, and the only one who rescued me from a fate worse than death. I just need to remember one thing: once the line between hatred and passion has been crossed, there's no going back."
"Roses are red. Violets are blue. You came for me. Now, I'm coming for you.
A year ago, I thought my whole world had ended. My family was dead. The life that I knew had been changed forever. Now I know that was just the beginning. I faced down the devil who destroyed my family and I fucking lost. I've become the thing I hate most in this world and there is no turning back. Even a contract with a demon couldn't save me from the creature that now inhabits my body.
Arrius Priest is planning something big. Something that threatens not just the society of hunters my parents belonged to, but the existence of the human race as we know it. Even though none of us are completely human anymore—not even Maverick—we won't abandon it. I may have failed once before, but I won't fail again.
It takes a monster to destroy a monster, so a monster I will become."
"I am beauty. I am grace. And yes, I will also punch you in the fucking face.
I never wanted to be a killer. Not until my entire family was slaughtered. Now, though? Now, killing is what I live for. And I've gone so far down my path for vengeance that there's no going back.
I made a deal with a demon, and I liked it.
The power that comes with demon possession is heady. The more I use it, the more addicted I become even if it does come with a little catch. Sex demons need sex to survive, after all. No fucking way. Sex only complicates things and I need to be on my A game if I'm going to find the one responsible for killing my family. That's my number one priority. Find the vampire linchpin and cut his damn head off—no matter the target it paints on my back.
The dead belong in the ground, and one way or another, I intend to put them all there."
