Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she’s received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer. He’s a man who can get you anything you want … at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one client, he’s never asked for repayment. Not until now.

Ana da Silva always assumed she’d die young, she just never expected it to be at the hands of Famine, the haunting immortal who once spared her life so many years ago. But if the horseman remembers her at all, he must not care, for when she comes face to face with him for the second time in her life, she’s stabbed and left for dead. Only, she doesn’t quite die.

The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed—not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him.

In the beginning, there was darkness. Before he met Callie, before he became the Bargainer, there was Desmond Flynn, the bastard son of a scribe. A boy born to a weak mother, cursed with little magic, and destined to marry a slave. But fate had something else in mind. From the barren caves of Arestys to the palace of Somnia to the streets of earth, this is how Desmond Flynn, a fairy who began with nothing, became the Emperor of Evening Stars.

Tout le monde sait que lorsqu'on a besoin d'une faveur, il faut s'adresser au Roi de la Nuit. Il peut vous obtenir tout ce que vous voulez... à condition d'en payer le prix. Et tôt ou tard, il vient toujours collecter son dû. Un seul client a échappé à cette règle. Jusqu'à maintenant. Calypso Lillis est une sirène avec un gros problème. Depuis sept ans, elle cumule les dettes magiques sous la forme de perles noires serties en bracelet autour de son poignet. Autant de faveurs qu'elle doit encore rembourser.

Nadie le dijo a la bruja Selene Bowers que tener un alma gemela sería tan complicado. Tampoco nadie la advirtió de que su compañero espiritual sería un antiguo hechicero vengativo que la acusaría de asesinato, que la obligaría a recordar la vida pasada que él jura que vivió y que la coaccionaría para que aceptara un pacto de matrimonio irrompible. Pero eso es justo lo que pasó la noche del baile de Samhain, cuando Selene acabó encerrada en una celda.

Selene Bowers tiene veinte años y está desesperada por que la acepten en el Aquelarre del Beleño Negro, una academia para jóvenes brujas. Como uno de los requisitos para entrar es conectar con sus poderes a través de una búsqueda mágica en la naturaleza, Selene reserva un viaje a América del Sur. Cuando una perversa fuerza sobrenatural intenta que su avión caiga al suelo, la magia de Selene se despierta para salvarle la vida... cueste lo que cueste. Pues sus poderes consumen sus recuerdos, uno a uno.

For Callypso Lillis, the fae magic that now runs through her veins is equal parts curse and good fortune. While it bonds her to Desmond Flynn, her soul mate and the King of Night, it also leaves her newly vulnerable to the Thief of Souls, who wants to break the Otherworld … and Callie along with it. But it’s not just the Thief whose shadow looms over the fae realms. Des’s father, the previous King of Night, has returned from the dead, and he wants revenge on the son who sent him to the grave in the first place.

Le mystère s'épaissit au royaume des Faës, et Callie et Des se retrouvent prisonniers d'un jeu qui s'annonce dangereux. Sirène et âme sœur du Roi de la Nuit, Callypso a survécu aux griffes de Karnon, le roi fou, et à sa prison malsaine. Mais le cauchemar n'est pas terminé. Il devient de plus en plus évident que le Voleur d'Âmes est toujours en liberté.

Pour Callypso Lillis, la magie de fae qui coule désormais dans ses veines est à la fois une chance et une malédiction. Parce que ce qui la lie à Desmond Flynn, le Roi de la Nuit, la rend aussi vulnérable au Voleur d'âmes, un homme déterminé à détruire le monde... et Callie avec. Mais le Voleur d'âmes n'est pas le seul à menacer l'Autremonde. Le père de Des est revenu d'entre les morts et veut se venger du fils qui l'a envoyé dans la tombe.
