Cheating death comes with a heavy fine.

When her sister drowned, Azure Galanides was given a choice: sell her soul or let the child die. The decision was simple, and Daneliya lived, but the consequences were worse than she had imagined. Azure became a slave, turned into one of the Sea Goddess' murderous mermaids. From caregiver to killer, regret became her constant companion, and hope was a long-forgotten stranger. She didn't deserve redemption. At least, that was what she thought until she met Elios.

His stubborn will to survive, even as she sent his ship plummeting into the sea, sparked something within her. His determination to save her from her fate turned that spark into a burning desire for freedom. But the second she ran, the hunt was on. The Goddess would stop at nothing to snuff out Azure's life, and by helping her, Elios put a target on his back as well.

Can Azure protect Elios and gain her freedom? Or is she destined to die by the very hand that revived her sister?

Having been taken from her home as a child after her parents made a deal with the Sea Goddess out of fear, Ocevia Kallallis became one of Miris' enslaved mermaids, tasked with luring souls to the depths for the remainder of her life. It was a lonely existence, with only the screams of her nightmares keeping her company. Until she met Azure Galanides, that is.

After living her first eighteen years as a human, Azure was forced to make a deal with the Sea Goddess when her little sister drowned, trading her life for the child's. A stubborn nature, and a burning desire to return to her former life, made Azure's transformation into a cursed mermaid something she couldn't help but fight against, even if it meant beatings. Ocevia never broke the rules, however, as her fear of the whip always kept her in check.

The decision Azure makes to rescue a human man instead of sacrificing him to the sea forces Ocevia to break out of her monotonous life, becoming something she never imagined she would again, and discovering things she never knew were possible.

After years of never dreaming for something more, her longing for the forbidden grows ever stronger as she and her friend fight to escape Miris' reach.

Are Ocevia's dreams of freedom and love possible? Or will she spend her entire life as one of the cursed?

Saving Scarlett by C.A. Varian weaves a tale of love and redemption, where an unlikely hero emerges from the shadows to rescue the woman he never expected to save.

In the heart of sultry New Orleans, Scarlett Prejean's life, filled with beauty and ambition, is marred by a haunting presence-her abusive husband, Joshua. As the proud owner of a cozy bookstore and a haven of coffee and literature, she seeks solace amid the unrelenting cruelty of her marriage.

But fate takes a dark and unexpected turn when Joshua makes a chilling decision: he hires Bane, an assassin bound by a relentless code, to bring Scarlett's life to a tragic end. What Joshua doesn't foresee is the profound twist that awaits.

When Bane comes face to face with the battered and vulnerable Scarlett, an irrepressible urge to protect her takes hold, defying the very mission he's been given. Scarlett, carrying the scars of years of torment, finds herself under the care of her would-be executioner.

In the intermingling of Scarlett and Bane's lives, they grapple with an undeniable attraction, their backgrounds clashing in stark contrast. Scarlett wrestles with her feelings for a man marked as a killer, yet she glimpses the gentleness hidden beneath Bane's hardened exterior.

Their love story unfolds amid a backdrop of treacherous secrets and betrayals, guided by the brilliant hacker, Phantom, who unravels the intricate threads binding Scarlett's destiny to the criminal underworld.

Their journey is a tumultuous one, a blend of passion, danger, love, and vengeance. The burning question remains: will Bane and Scarlett discover the love they so desperately crave, or will those who seek their downfall ultimately triumph?

In a world where destiny and despair intertwine, Raven Adamos embarks on a harrowing journey that transcends the boundaries of life and death. Suffering from terminal cystic fibrosis at just twenty-three, Raven discovers a glimmer of hope in an enchanted key, a portal to the mystical fae realm of Ecromos. There, a miraculous cure awaits, but it comes at a steep cost: she can never return to her family and the human world she knows.

As the portal transports her to Ecromos, Raven's fate takes a chilling twist when she falls into the clutches of Lord Argall, a formidable fae nobleman with a sinister agenda. Whispers in Ecromos suggest that Raven's enchanted key binds her to a fated mate, but Argall cunningly strips her of it, severing her connection to true love. In captivity, she endures cruelty and abuse, much like countless other human women in the lord's opulent manor, her dreams of happily ever after seeming futile.

What Raven doesn't know is that her fated mate, Niall, a valiant soldier in the Court of Chaos, has united with escaped human women Zoe and Elianna, along with their mates Cailen and Blaze, and allies from various courts and kingdoms. Their mission: to wage war against Lord Argall and rescue the captive women, including Raven, before it's too late.

Stage IV thyroid cancer was a death sentence for 19-year-old Elianna Foster, until she received the key. The enchanted item opens a doorway to the fae realm, a place where illness can no longer plague her, but if she crosses the portal, there is no turning back-literally. Elianna must choose between living in a strange new realm, forsaking her life in the human world, or staying behind with her loved ones until her body finally gives out.

The decision is anything but simple. Rumors abound about the other world. Some say her soulmate awaits her arrival with her key's twin. Others say human females are subjugated and forced to serve as bed slaves and breeding stock.

Captured by a fae nobleman, Elianna's chance at happiness withers before her very eyes. But little does she know, even as she suffers at the hands of her captors, her mate is searching for her, and he'll stop at NOTHING to get her back.

In the years since the death of her father, Holera Glowbrook has never given much thought to finding a mate, investing herself completely in her warrior training instead.

Septima is gone.

Those were the last words Aurelia Vesta heard after being wounded in battle. Her sister had been captured by the enemy, and no matter how hard she searched, there was no sign of her. After fleeing their home together and crossing the portal into a magical fae world, the sisters were separated. The vow they'd made to always stay together was broken.

With the phoenix warriors of Aegricia and the war-torn kingdom of Norithae by her side, Aurelia will do whatever it takes to save Septima and end the barbaric Warbotach ruler's reign of terror over the land of Ekotoria.

But the corrupt king is the least of her worries. His people conquer without remorse, but they are nothing more than puppets, and the Warbotach leader? He's just a weapon wielded by a force everyone believed was gone for good.

When the battle rages and heroes fall, can the tide of the war be turned, or will the continent of Ekotoria-and Septima-be lost for good? No matter what happens, one thing is certain.

Candy Townsend enjoyed her life as a young bartender in the city of New Orleans. Sure, she had a complicated relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Brad, but she was in love with a new man and was hopeful for the future. Sadly, her life, and her future, changed forever after one fateful night. Candy struggled in her new state of being until nearly a year later when a young woman with a special ability entered her apartment. A young woman named Hazel Watson.

Hazel Watson had newly graduated from law school and it was time for her to move into her own apartment and join the adult world. Something she was admittedly dreading. Unfortunately, the only place she could afford in the popular city of New Orleans had a reputation for being haunted. Undeterred, and desperate to find a place of her own, she moved in regardless. Using her hereditary ability to communicate with the dead, she befriends her new apartment's resident ghost and teams up with the feisty spirit to help other lost souls she encounters.

Still fresh to the community of public defenders, Miss Hazel Watson finds herself entangled in a case of embezzlement - with a liberal dash of the supernatural. Who was this spirit haunting her client? Why is the spirit's glimmering sapphire necklace so entrancing? And, most importantly, why could Hazel not communicate with her?

Since she was a young girl, Hazel had been helping spirits conclude their earthly business so they could pass over. Her ability to communicate with spirits was passed down from her mother who was able to help guide her and hone her necromancy skills. Hazel was never a social butterfly, but she never had a problem interacting with the dead. Until now.

There are enough challenges being a young, female, public attorney. Still, this new case presents challenges that Hazel could never have anticipated. She had never before met a spirit she couldn't speak with. She couldn't even determine who this woman had been. What was this spirit's relationship with her client, Mr. Miller? How could this spirit help, or hurt, her client's case?

As Mr. Miller's trial date inches closer, with more questions than answers, Hazel is rushing against the clock to identify the dead woman, find her killer, and avoid becoming the killer's next victim herself.

Two Human Sisters.

A Magical Fae Realm under siege.

A Vulnerable Portal into the human realm.

And the Barbarians who aim to take it all.

Each tick brought her closer to her doom. Tick. Aurelia forgot how to breathe. Tick. Panic consumed her. Tick. She needed to get free. Tick. Before it was too late. Tick.

Aurelia Vesta did everything with her sister, Septima... including running away from home. When their father announced their arranged betrothals, her sister vowed to die before following through with the marriage. Aurelia, determined to find a place where Septima would be allowed to be with another woman, led the way into the Howling Forest, but their late-night escape landed the pair in a fantasy realm full of death and danger.

Their new world grants her sister equal rights, but that freedom comes with a heavy cost. Aurelia finds herself among the fae as their world teeters on the precipice of a war, and suddenly the blissful future she'd promised Septima doesn't feel so certain. But, even with the promise of violence hanging over their heads, the Vesta girls find love... until dark secrets and hidden betrayals taint their new lives.

When her closest ally deceives her and a blood-thirsty king threatens to conquer both worlds, can Aurelia find the courage to survive? Or will the magical warfare claim her as a victim?

The enchanted golden key recognizes her destined mate, but her heart says it has the wrong male.

A year has passed since Zoe Lawson used her enchanted key to cross into the fae world of Ecromos to receive a cure for her cancer, knowing she would never be able to return home. After receiving that cure, rumors claimed she would spend the rest of her life with a fated mate, bringing new life to a dying species. The reality, however, was quite different.

Zoe had no idea that, when she left the human world, she would be captured by a fae nobleman who traded human women for breeding and sexual slavery. In such a world with too few females, she wasn't the only human woman who'd been stolen for such purposes, and she knew she wouldn't be the last. That is, until she met Elianna.

As a cancer patient herself, Zoe's new friend's magical cure swung the pendulum in her favor, making freedom a possibility none of the enslaved women could have imagined.

When Zoe and her friend escape the lord who'd enslaved them, they seek freedom in another court, protected by Elianna's newly found mate and a family of fae males. Zoe's key tells her that her mate is searching for her. However, with Cailean by her side, she is not sure if the enchanted key has the right male.

As Zoe plans to return and free the other human women, danger lurks from those searching for them, and her heart battles against her key.

Will Zoe and her friends be able to find enough allies to help them free their friends from a court where they are being hunted? In the meantime, will Zoe listen to her key, the only thing that can lead her to her destined mate, or will she abandon it entirely out of love for another?

Embark on the final, heart-pounding chapter of the Phoenix series with Crown of the Prophecy by C.A. Varian. In this climactic conclusion, Queen Aurelia, ruler of the combined Aegricia and Norithae, and her husband, Cristos, venture across the realm of Ekotoria in search of the vanished portal to the human world. As the Aegrician Phoenixes rise from the ashes, the boundary between life and death blurs, revealing that not all presumed lost are truly gone.

With the pivotal portal missing, Aurelia faces the daunting task of safeguarding the passage back to the human realm. The stakes escalate with her pregnancy, and unbeknownst to them, some of their loved ones are trapped in the human realm, setting the stage for chaotic events.

The search for the missing portal becomes a race against time, pushing Aurelia and her allies to their limits. With the prophecy echoing in her mind, Aurelia faces the ultimate challenge-fulfill her destiny and unite the continent, or risk the unraveling of both worlds. Crown of the Prophecy is a spellbinding tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of destiny that will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the final, breathtaking page.
