Everyone wants me dead: A demon, a vampire lord, even a dragon. Now, a new enemy wants even more . . .
The war we feared has come, and leading the invading army is the only remaining dragon, the 'Black Death.' If it's not stopped, the dragon will slaughter thousands. I'm Angie Ritter, former army mage and the first source mage to be born in centuries. I might be able to stop the dragon.
If I can learn to control my new magic. If I can master the ancient entity possessing me. If I can act like a grownup and stop fantasizing about the sexy were-jaguar I'm traveling with.
And if I can avoid getting my heart cut out, or drained of my blood, or burned to death . . . or any of the other countless grisly deaths that await me.
Now something haunts my dreams. Something hungry.
FML.

The Awakened World of 2053-a shattered land of magic, Fey, monsters . . . and world-ending secrets.
What difference does a week make?
I'm Angie Ritter, former army mage and recovering headcase. Seven days ago, I was struggling to survive without my magic. Now I'm on the run with a family of werewolf super-soldiers. Not gonna lie. I'm in trouble-a lot of trouble: a cult of dragon-worshipping fanatics wants to cut my heart out, vampire assassins hunt me, and even my own countrymen want to hang me for treason.
Oh, and a dark empire plots to conquer the entire West Coast. It may be led by a pair of dragons, honest-to-god dragons.
Did I mention I'm possessed by an ancient entity of unimaginable power?
Last week was hell on Earth, literally. I think this week is gonna be worse. At least my magic's back-wow, is it ever back!

I was five when the dragons first appeared . . . and the lights went out for good.
Now, eighteen years after the cataclysmic appearance of the four great dragons over Mount Fuji, humanity shares a shattered Earth with the Fey-fairies, elves, and other supernatural creatures. Trust is short, magic is common, and each day is a struggle for survival in the Awakened World of 2053.
I'm Angie Ritter, a former army mage who can't cast spells anymore. I have some issues. I'm working on them.
Unfortunately, the army wasn't as accommodating as I would have hoped and gave me the boot. Now, I survive day by day in Sanwa City, a walled settlement in southern California, doing menial labor and pretty much hiding from the world. Without my magic, I can't help myself, let alone anyone else, but when my old army buddy Erin-an elite werewolf shock trooper-comes to me for help, I can't say no. Now, I just need to pull myself together-and fast. Because someone's hunting werewolves, and Erin is their new prey.
And if I get in their way, they're going to carve me up too.
Thing is, I'm done with hiding.

The Culling, the genocide of humanity. It almost ended us. It still might.
Six years ago, the dark elves murdered most of humanity. Thanks to the sacrifice of Elizabeth 'Gunz' Chambers, some few survived, safe behind walled shelters. For now.
Former Special Forces operator Alex Benoit is a broken man. Driven to rage by the evil of the dark elves, he and his team of rangers hunt them in the wilderness of northern Canada. No weapon is forbidden, no method too severe. But Alex has stared too long into the abyss and vengeance comes at a cost.
A cost that others may have to pay.
When a new gateway opens between worlds, Alex joins a desperate expedition to the dark elves' home world. Their mission: to forge an alliance between dwarves and humanity. Only together can both races stand a chance against the might of the dark elves and their wicked queen Tuatha de Talinor.
If they fail, it won't just be the end of the Dark-Elf War. It'll be the end of all human life.

On dragons' wings, war begins.
Magic has returned to Earth. A year ago, the dark elves breached the interstellar veil between our world and theirs. They slaughtered scores of innocents in the first battle of a war between magic and technology.
Then they vanished.
In the year since, Elizabeth Chambers has trained alongside Cassie "Starlight" Rogan in the Special Forces unit known as Task Force Devil. Their mission: to monitor the interstellar portal where the dark elves forced their way into our world.
Elizabeth, like Cassie, is one of only two "magic-sensitive" people on the planet who can control the powers of magic flowing back into our world. Unlike Cassie's healing magic, Elizabeth's magic is lethal, and she resists her deadly gifts. Soon, she will have no choice but to use them, because in a single night of fire and death, the dark elves have returned.
And they have sinister plans for humanity.

A secret power. The revival of magic. An ancient evil stirs.
Twenty-year-old university dropout Cassie Rogan has returned to her small British Columbia home. Tortured by an accident that killed her parents, she drifts, failing life at every turn. When an impossibly localized lightning storm hits the surrounding forest, Cassie discovers her supernatural side.
After centuries of atrophy, the forces of magic are flowing back into our world, and Cassie can wield arcane powers. Her life seems destined to turn around, until the downside of magic brings everything to a screeching halt. Horrifying mythical beasts now prowl the northern wilderness-including the Basilisk-an enormous eight-legged lizard that can turn its prey to stone. Recruited by a secretive agency, Cassie must quickly master her powers to protect mankind. As she develops her skills, a dark power secretly watches from the shadows. The Fae Seelie (a.k.a. the Dark Elves)-humanity's ancient enemy-have returned to settle the score.
