The reigning queen of the paranormal scene. -Publisher's Weekly

For over two decades, Sherrilyn Kenyon fans have been begging to know more about Acheron's demon. Simi has always been the absolute fan favorite, since the day she first flounced onto pages and won reader's hearts.

Now those dedicated fans will learn the truth ...

Life as a demon is never an easy one. Orphaned as a child, Simi was left to make her own way in the world of humans. Bound to the Atlantean god who caused the death of her mother, she's spent her life trying to make sense of a world that baffles her.

But as the gods vie for a power that leaves demons, Dark-Hunters and humans struggling to take sides, Simi can no longer rely on the god, Acheron, for protection. She must find her own way. Not just for herself, but to save the lives of her family and friends.

Only one entity holds the secret she needs to save Acheron's life. But the price it demands is steep, and it will leave her at the mercy of a creature known for cruelty. Her choice should be easy. Save Acheron at all costs. Yet some prices are too high and by saving Acheron, she just might destroy everything.

Kenyon writes for a mixed audience to great success, easily maintaining the excitement, intrigue, and humor of a series that appeals to guys and girls alike. -Booklist

From #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon comes an all new world unlike anything ever seen before...

TAKE BACK YOUR KINGDOM

For centuries, they've been bitter enemies and their kingdoms at war. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Tanis's beloved older brother and heir to their throne has been slain by a human who continues to flaunt her brother's death.

In order to restore her family's honor, she's willing to make a deal so that she can infiltrate the human world and recapture what was so cruelly taken.

But Dash Coeur de Noir is the most hated and feared of his breed and he's on his own mission when Tanis crosses his path- he must keep the kingdoms from destroying each other.

In a world built on magic, blood and betrayal no one can trust anyone. With a bounty on their heads and assassins and enemies out to claim them both, they must somehow learn to trust each other or watch their world burn.

From the moment he was born a god of light and darkness, Xevikan Daraxerxes was rejected by those who should have embraced him. A child of both realms, he was embraced by none. His is a lonely path that he's walked for centuries as he's done his best to avoid the divine politics of his parents.

But one can only stay neutral for so long. Now, Xev must face his past and learn from his mistakes. The world is in turmoil and his best friend and brother are facing enemies at every turn.

The evil he rejected is on the brink of destroying everything he knows and everyone he cares about. Either Xev embraces the savage inside himself that he's spent centuries caging or he'll be the last god ruling over a vacant, hollowed-out world.

TAKE BACK YOUR KINGDOM

Unicorns and Dragons never mix. For centuries, they've been bitter enemies and their kingdoms at war. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Tanis's beloved older brother and heir to their throne has been slain by a human who continues to flaunt her brother's death.

To restore her family's honor, she's willing to make a deal with a Unicorn shapeshifter so that she can infiltrate the human world and recapture what was so cruelly taken.

But Dash Coeur de Noir isn't just any Unicorn, as the High King he's the most hated and feared of his breed and he's on his own mission when the Dragon, Tanis, crosses his path- to reclaim his sister's horn that was brutally taken. In the wrong hands, that horn could destroy the fragile peace that has kept the Thirteen Kingdoms from destroying each other.

In a world built on magic, blood, and betrayal no one can trust anyone. With a bounty on their heads and assassins and enemies out to claim them both, they must somehow learn to trust each other or watch their kingdoms burn.

The world of the Dark-Hunters is unlike anything you've ever seen before. It's dark. It's gritty. It's dangerous...

And it's a whole lot of unexpected action and snarky comebacks.

My name is Nick Gautier and I was born to end the world.

Or so I thought.

For years, I believed my destiny was beyond my control. But the Fates love to play with folks and I seem to be their favorite punchline.

Just when My crew and I thought we were done with the Apocalypse, the Fates had dragged back for another round. Now, we have to stop the Powers-That-Be and my future son or the ones I love and cherish will become memories.

It's a demon-eat-demon world and we are all the stands between humanity and total subjugation.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon and debut authors Hinako and Madaug Hishinuma comes a middle-grade fantasy adventure unlike any other, where demons rub shoulders with gods and one boy must learn to control his power before it's too late.

Banished, isolated, and hunted for a destiny he doesn't understand, Ryuichi must learn to master the powers he inherited from his mother in order to protect the sacred gates that separate the mortal world from the realm of demons. If he doesn't, kami, yôkai, and demons who are hell-bent on making humanity suffer will flood the human realm.

No one can be trusted. Not even his own guardian ... And here he thought puberty was the worst thing to threaten his sanity.

If he's going to survive, Ryuichi must figure out who his real allies are--and who wants him dead. He'll learn that sometimes things have to go wrong in order to go right, and to overcome evil, you might have to bend the rules--and believe in people others tell you not to trust.

The holiday season is always interesting when you live in a world with paranormal entities. As a Daeve demon, Caleb Malphas never really understood why humans wanted to celebrate anything.

Until the day a human saves his life.

Lilliana isn't just human, she's the one person capable of taming a vicious demon whose sole goal is to end the world and claim it for his masters. Caleb fights her at every turn, but in the end, he can't deny what she comes to mean to him. Vowing to never again battle for his demonic overlords, he lays down his sword to spend eternity in the human world.

But his enemies won't allow them to live in peace. They return with a vengeance to claim everything he's learned to care about.

It's an unforgivable act.

Centuries later as he joins Nick Gautier and their friends for a very special Christmas gathering, he finally learns the real meaning of giving ... and receives the best gift of his immortal life.

From the moment he was born a god of light and darkness, Xevikan Daraxerxes was rejected by those who should have embraced him. A child of both realms, he was embraced by none. His is a lonely path that he's walked for centuries as he's done his best to avoid the divine politics of his parents.

But one can only stay neutral for so long. Now, Xev must face his past and learn from his mistakes. The world is in turmoil and his best friend and brother are facing enemies at every turn.

The evil he rejected is on the brink of destroying everything he knows and everyone he cares about. Either Xev embraces the savage inside himself that he's spent centuries caging or he'll be the last god ruling over a vacant, hollowed-out world.

Jayne Erixour believes she knows everything about the universe. As a bounty hunter and assassin, she's seen the worst dregs of humanity and every sentient species ever spat out of a hell realm. To her, there is no truth outside of her blaster's recoil and her resolve to let no one get too close.

Hadrian Scalera is on the run from the same brutal assassins who slaughtered every member of his family, both birth and foster. He has no refuge and no one he dares to call friend as it will mean the end of them. He expects no mercy from anyone, until the day one assassin hesitates to pull the trigger.

An assassin's code is simple: Kill or be killed. No prey, no pay. Every life has a price.

If Jayne doesn't fulfill her contract and kill Hadrian, she'll be the next target on the League's menu. But as old enemies return to hunt them both, they quickly learn that neither will survive unless they can learn to trust each other. Yet things are never so simple and survival means only one of them can be left standing . . .

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Sherrilyn Kenyon returns to her League: Nemesis Rising series in this novella that also features the very first short story she sold in 1978, The Neighbors.

Every Life Has a Price

Dakari Tievel has been marked for death by the infamous League. Staying barely one step ahead of the assassins out to end her life, she must find the legendary Eve of Destruction. But Eve is a lot more than just a bounty hunter who calls the shadows home. She comes with an interesting crew of friends and family who have no problem defying the League that rules their worlds with an iron fist.

Now they must rely on the most unlikely of allies to keep Dakari safe, and themselves alive. Provided he doesn't betray them.

In a universe where the League is law, it's killed or be killed.

Sherrilyn Kenyon returns with more Christmas cheer in these two novellas set in the worlds of the Dark-Hunters and Acheron.

One Silent Night

While the world carries on unawares, Stryker, who leads an army of demons and vampires, is plotting an all out onslaught against his enemies--which, unfortunately for us, includes the entire human race. To avenge his sister, Stryker prepares to annihilate the Dark-Hunters. But things go awry when his oldest enemy returns. Enter his ex-wife. Zephyra. Just when he thought nothing could stop him, he's now embroiled in a centuries old war with a shrew who gives new meaning to pain.

Love Bytes

Adrian Cole is an overworked total computer geek who just wants his mother and sister to get a life while he does his job to the best of his abilities. What he is about to get is the best makeover of his life when Samantha, one of his loyal and dedicated coworkers, agrees to help him look the part by reinventing his image over the holidays--only to find themselves surrendering completely to forbidden passion . . .

It's a demon-eat-demon world for Nick Gautier. Just when he thinks he's finally gotten a handle on how not to take over the world and destroy it, Death returns with an all-star cast that is determined to end the Malachai reign and lineage forever. Worse? Death and War have found the one, true enemy Nick can't find, and even if he did, it's one he could never bring himself to banish or kill.

Now framed for murders he hasn't committed, and surrounded by new friends who might be turncoats, Nick is learning fast how his father went down in flames.

The heat in New Orleans is rising fast, and Nick's threat level has gone into a whole new level of intensity. He's learning fast that when War and Death decide to battle, they don't take prisoners. They don't negotiate. And they're both immune to his biting sarcasm and Cajun charm. To win this, he will have to embrace a new set of powers, but one wrong step and he will belong to the side of Darkness, forever.

[Chock] full of action, suspense, emotion, Nick's perfectly timed humour and sarcasm, friends coming together to help one another, danger and peril at every turn, and of course Kenyon's brilliant world-building, character creations, and imagination that make you forget you are reading a work of fiction. -The Reading Café on Instinct

One of the fiercest soldiers the Phrixians have ever produced, Maris Sulle has been an outsider from the moment he was born different from the rest of his family. He grew up with a secret that cost him everything-his birthright, his family, and his military career. In all his life, he's only had one love, and he has sacrificed his own happiness to see his best friend reunited with the woman he loves. But now that his good deed is done, he feels lost and adrift. Even though they do their best to include him in their new family, Maris is once again on the outside looking in.

Ture has spent his life hiding from everyone around him-his family, the world, you name it-while trying desperately to fit in. Badly hurt by everyone he's ever known, he trusts no one except his own best friend. And honestly, he can't understand why he trusts her. Nor can he believe her when she describes a loyalty between friends the likes of which he's never seen.

But when Ture is in his darkest hour, he's saved by a hero he thought only existed in novels. A man who is every bit as scarred and mistrusting as he is-one who has no interest in being dragged into another relationship with anyone.

Having spent his life as a living study of doomed relationships, Maris is well aware of the courtship and fiasco that invariably follows. Still, there is something about Ture he can't resist. Something that won't let him walk away when he knows he should.

But when old enemies return to threaten them both, they either have to stand together or die alone.

Eve Erixour is a mercenary with a past no one would envy and more enemies than anyone should have. Death stalks her relentlessly. So when she gains the attention of a League assassin, she considers it par for the course.

But Jinx Shadowbourne isn't after Eve. Someone has it in for him and his brethren. High-ranking assassins are falling, and Jinx is convinced one of their own is selling them out. He's on the trail of his key suspect when fate throws him headfirst into Eve's life.

Now the two of them have to find the League leak and plug it or neither one of them will live to face another enemy, and the ones they love, and the universe at large, will be left alone to face a power-crazed madman.

It's a demon-eat-demon world for Nick Gautier. Just when he thinks he's finally gotten a handle on how not to take over the world and destroy it, Death returns with an all-star cast that is determined to end the Malachai reign and lineage forever.

Cursed into an eternity of slavery by his own brother, Julian of Macedon has
spent centuries in hell, where the only respite he knows is measured in a
handful of weeks whenever he's summoned through an arcane spell. With the modern
age, those summonings are becoming fewer and fewer, and he lives in fear of the
day when they'll stop for good.

Grace Alexander doesn't believe in much of anything. But when her psychic
girlfriend talks her into performing the spell as a joke on her birthday, the
last thing she ever imagines is it working. But work it does. Now, she finds an
ancient Greek general in her living room and trapped in her life for the next
month. Worse, they learn too late that part of the spell means Grace will lose
her sanity should he return to his captivity.

Now it's a race against time to free him. Something much easier said than
done, since it was the ancient gods who cursed him to his fate. And the last
thing they want is to see him go free of the punishment the gods believe he
deserves. It's man against the gods, and a race against time.

It's a demon-eat-demon world for Nick Gautier.
