It’s NOT safe to go back in the water… After a promise gone horribly wrong, Gideon Black has sworn off doing favors for people. But when the mysterious Lady Tethys offers him a house -- a home of his own for the first time in his life -- in exchange for retrieving an artifact, he agrees. Unfortunately, the artifact is at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, with a ship that went down over four hundred years ago. To get to the wreck, Tethys arranges passage for Gideon and his friends with Captain Alex Walsh. But when they board the ship, they find that the crew not only know about and distrust Others, but are prepared to deal with them with cold iron weapons, one of the few ways to kill a Fae. And the captain is looking for an excuse to use them. Then they reach the dive site, and things go from bad to worse when the ship is attacked by something far more dangerous than humans with cold iron.

“My past came with sharp teeth, and I didn’t enjoy letting it bite me.” Gideon Black has just returned from a grueling visit to the Fae realm with a stronger grip on his abilities, both as a half-Fae and the DeathSpeaker. But none of that prepared him to be kidnapped and dragged into a fight against a god. When the Duchenes’ master, an ancient and powerful Other who’s taken the name of the voodoo god Papa Legba, summons the family for attempting to defy him, Denei invokes a promise Gideon made long before he knew that promises could kill the Fae. Now he must travel to New Orleans with the secretive siblings and free them from their bonds—or die trying. But Legba isn’t the only danger lurking in the Louisiana swamps. Milus Dei, the cult dedicated to wiping out the Others, has been recruiting a new breed of hunter. The most dangerous, lethal poachers they can find, heavily financed and retrained to target and capture all types of non-humans. And the group currently hunting the bayou is all too familiar to Gideon.

Home is where the monsters are. Rhiannon ‘Rain’ Finlay sucks at being a druid. Her gift of communicating with animals works just fine, but she doesn’t know a Thurisaz rune from a Wunjo, and she can’t even cast a circle of protection without a cheat sheet. That’s why she decided to leave her tiny village on the Isle of Parthas, North Sea, for a normal non-magic life halfway around the world. But when her beloved grandfather disappears along with a handful of villagers, she’s forced to return home and use her gift — and her crappy druid magic — to help them. Unfortunately, she’s not exactly prepared to face the very real monsters that are popping up all over, from mutant spiders to banshees, black dogs … and worse. That’s when she learns all the crazy stories her father told her growing up, about the old deserted castle on the island having belonged to King Arthur, might not be so crazy after all. The legends are real. They’re returning to Parthas. And they have unfinished business with Rain Finlay.

IN THE SHADOW OF DRAGONS Magic wasn’t real — until the dragons happened. Since then, our world has never been the same. Now, magic is an insidious infection leaving some people untouched, others scarred, and more slowly transforming into mythological creatures. But once a year, on the anniversary of dragons, a worldwide Eclipse and an intense surge of magic puts everyone at risk for Changing completely — with deadly results. The Bishop Corporation was a small, unremarkable drug company until they released HeMo, a drug that combats the magic infection and prevents people from turning into monsters. Most of the time. Now a rising global power, BiCo patrols the population to detect and detain those who show Magesign — and the elite BiCo Knights ride forth to slay the monsters and protect the people from themselves. But not everyone believes in BiCo’s benevolent stranglehold on magic. The Darkspawn, a small group of rebels, fight to destroy HeMo and allow magic to take hold naturally. For better or worse. When BiCo sends Teague Harlow, one of their Knights, to join the Darkspawn as a spy, she soon uncovers dark secrets — but not those she was sent to find. Because BiCo’s rule isn’t the beneficial security blanket they claim to provide. And the real danger may lie in the drug that’s supposed to save the world. * * * * * * * * * MEET THE MAIN CHARACTERS Dr. Naomi Talbot runs a HeMo clinic in Casper, Wyoming. Like most people, Naomi tries to carry on with normal life, save for the one day a year when normal is impossible. But her tentative grasp on ‘normal’ is shattered when a colleague who vanished years ago contacts her with a cryptic message: The world is headed for permanent darkness, and only the Darkspawn can stop it… Teague Harlow is one of the elite, a Knight who works directly with BiCo CEO Julian Bishop. She refuses the spotlight, preferring to remain in the shadows. This makes her the perfect candidate for Julian’s bold new campaign against the resistance: Join the Darkspawn as a spy and discover their hidden location in the Badlands, so the Knights can wipe them out in a single blow… Noah Delaney was an investment banker before magic invaded the world and BiCo destroyed everything he loved. Now the reluctant leader of the Darkspawn, his life consists of hiding in the desert from BiCo patrols, destroying HeMo shipments, and saving as many Changers as possible. But their passive resistance movement is thrust into active rebellion when Noah has a vision involving the key to toppling Julian Bishop’s rule. One that requires a direct attack on the Knights … and risks obliterating the world.

Lead us into temptation. A demon's job is to corrupt as many souls as possible. But for Jaeryth, there's only one soul, one woman he's interested in: Logan Frost.

An eternity of torture awaits him if he fails. Logan, a struggling singer and recovering meth addict fresh out of rehab, has no idea she's destined to change the world. She only wants to survive. But she's hallucinating black-eyed figures that no one else sees -- and when she meets Jaeryth, who can see them too, her instant attraction deepens. Still, something isn't right about this gorgeous stranger who's never tried chocolate and doesn't seem to know how pants work. As the legions of Hell fight harder to destroy Logan before her powerful influence spreads, Jaeryth is called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. Meanwhile, Logan faces an impossible choice: save millions of souls... or the one who matters to her most.
