I'm a Shadowblade, the hidden knife in the night—unseen by you, unexpected by them, honed for a marriage I never wanted. Dad took the girl I was, but the woman I am is untouchable. A fated mate will break my chains, and Dragonis Academy? They're about to learn what real terror is. I'm not bending the knee unless I'm kicking the old ways in the teeth.

When they said only the strong would survive, they weren't joking.

Worse, he's getting too close to my secrets, my heart, and the seemingly perfect life I've built.

Men always have another secret . . . Morgan thought she'd escaped. Her nightmare marriage is over, her husband Henry is dead, and she's finally free. Or so she believed. Because Henry isn't dead. He's searching for his missing wife, and he knows exactly where to find her.

Year three at Dragonis Academy was supposed to be manageable. I'd survived two years of brutal competition, backstabbing classmates, and professors who'd rather see me dead than graduate.

A thousand years of imprisonment vanish in the blink of an eye, and voices flicker in and out of the egg chamber in Malivore—until hers captures my attention.

If I could go back to the morning before the gala, trust my gut, and stay home, I would in a heartbeat. But that's not possible, so I'm stuck with the repercussions. Because of what I am—not who, mind you—there's a whole new set of rules for me to follow. And I'm doing it completely exposed. Laid bare for the entirety of the preternatural population to gawk, trash, and threaten. But I can't let that deter me from doing the one thing I need to do. Master my magic.

When Arik, the silver-eyed second-in-command of the king's dragon-bonded warriors, makes her a deal she can't refuse, Eisa finds herself hurtling toward a destiny she never would have chosen.

Shadows twist around the ancient walls of Shadowcarve Academy—part fortress, part labyrinth of secrets. Last year, I barely survived its brutal trials, but I left with more than scars: three men, bound to me in a once-in-a-lifetime connection that feels ripped from a fairy tale. And then there's the legendary red egg—coveted by countless students for centuries—and somehow it chose me. But survival here always comes at a price.

They say Lance Knight bathes in blood money. That he's the devil who keeps my brother's empire running. The enforcer who can kill with just his bare hands.

Then the nightmares tear through me. His name rips from my throat in the dark. And suddenly he's there—all raw power and deadly grace.

Elyna thought she had finally escaped her past. Running from a dangerous MC, she found refuge with the Iron Vultures and in the arms of their ruthless president, Bones. For eight months, she lived a lie—wrapped in his leather, sleeping in his bed, believing she was safe. Believing he loved her. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When her past is exposed, Bones doesn't ask questions. He doesn't listen. He marks her. He brands her. And he sends her back to the very men she ran from. Left for dead, broken beyond repair, Ely swears one thing: if she survives, she will burn it all down.

He made me his queen. Now, he'll either destroy me… or die for me. When my father was murdered, I didn't grieve—I seized his throne. Cold. Calculating. Untouchable. Until Lucian Agosti came for me. The Bratva fears me. New York's underworld bows to me. But Lucian doesn't kneel. He conquers. The Italian Don makes me an offer I can't refuse. My sister's life for my hand in marriage. My crown for his ring. My body for his pleasure.

I was supposed to end the Irish devil who's haunted my family's empire. Not crave his touch. Not beg for more when he pins me down and demands my surrender. One clean strike was all I needed. Instead, I'm trapped against his bedroom wall at midnight, my assassin's mask torn away, his hungry green eyes drinking in every inch of me. "I'll let you live," he whispers, his breath hot against my throat. "But every time you fail to kill me, you'll spend the night doing exactly what I say." I should have driven my blade into his black heart. Instead, I made a deal with the devil himself.

There's only one thing my inner panther and I agree on. This gorgeous woman, whose thighs I'd happily die between, is my mate. And I will protect her at all costs. Ideally, in my bed. But my fated mate has a magic that even she doesn't know about. The ability to see into shifters' souls and discover their true nature. And that hidden power puts her in the sights of enemies with mysterious magic of their own.
