Well hello, The Past. I see you're trying to kill me. Again.My sluggish magic has woken up, but of course I'm not able to lounge in bed while I get reacquainted with it. No, instead I have a blaring alarm clock in the shape of a fear demon I banished to hell eight hundred years ago.Someone's summoned him back, and he's picking up right where he left off-wreaking havoc, inciting mobs, and threatening mass human casualties. And he's using a member of my chosen family to do it.It's on me to stop him, and the threats are rising. Emrick, the servant of Death who makes my legs weak, refuses to step aside, but I can't let him help. Not when doing so breaks Death's one rule: don't get involved.To banish this demon, I'll need to do more than get to know my magic again. I'll need to bring hell to earth. Without losing one of my only friends in the process.If I mess this up, millions will burn and my sanity might crack. If I do this right? The only thing fear should be afraid of is me.

After 900 years, you'd think I'd have cleaned this place up.Believe me, I've tried, and the only thing I've achieved in protecting the balance between magical and mundane is massive burnout.My magic has waned, my motivation is in embers, and my social graces are... let's just say they're lacking.Not helping at all is my ex, the servant of Death binding me to existence. The man I crave with every breath but whose presence in my life risks losing him forever.I'm ready to swear off this world. But when a blood mage with troubling ambitions sets his sights on the city's covens, the voices of my past refuse to let me sit by and do nothing.To stop him, I'll need to dust off decades of indifference, gather whatever allies I haven't driven away, and tap into my forgotten power.It's time to remind myself what I'm capable of. The monsters better start trembling.

As the doorway between worlds closes, Jeff needs to choose which side he'll end up on, and what he's willing to give up before the end.

War has come to Andvell. Enemy after enemy takes its place along the northern border, each one a terrifying result of dark magic and experimentation. In the face of the great army, Andvell's resources are few. As the enemy marches, unlikely hero Venn Connell must act or be lost in the flood -- one final mission to end the war, no matter the cost. Standing on the brink of devastation, Venn is forced to question her most deeply held beliefs and trust her friends to see her through the darkness.

Venn Connell is bored. When the Andvellian ambassador in Margolin goes missing, she jumps at the chance to find him, but quickly learns the mystery goes deeper than one missing courtier. With border tensions rising, a man vanishing before her eyes with a relic she believed lost, red-clad soldiers out for blood, and something dark following her from the charred ruins of Treevale fortress, Venn becomes a pawn in an unseen game. Forced to confront her past and question her future, Venn knows she has to tread carefully. One wrong move and she could lose herself in the shadows, and hurl her country into war.

In the middle of New Haven's unusual blizzard, private detective Gabriel Mulligan receives a case that will push his Gorgon-Fae abilities to their limits. Six men have been found naked and frozen on the docks of Wishrock Harbor, and a dark shadow is lurking beneath the Haven River. As the details of his case keep changing, Gabe's hunt for the truth will require him to question the gray line that exists between good and evil. With the help of his best friend and some unlikely allies, Gabe must sift through the lies to determine who the true monsters are - even if one of those monsters is himself.

Ten months ago, a sorceress, a Gorgon-Fae, a succubus, a semi-goddess, a daemelus, a human, and an incubus matched wits to escape a magically sealed room. Six of them survived, believing their association was over. But again and again their paths have crossed, and now sixteen-year-old Molly Harris has been abducted by a demon cartel intent on unleashing the nefarious Project Oracle. To prevent the cartel from tearing apart the balance between the otherworld and the mundane, the remaining five must travel to the heart of otherworldly nightmares, where they are faced not only with the uncertainty of their futures, but also the ghosts of their pasts. Tensions rise as personalities and motivations clash, but as the clock runs down, the Invisible Entente will need to find a way to work together to save Molly and destroy Project Oracle before the final storm rolls in.

Six months after he returns from his fictional world of Andvell, Jeff Powell is still plagued by nightmares, and an inability to write anything new. Cursed with permanent writer's block, and on the verge of losing the woman of his dreams, he feels his life can't get any more complicated. Until he comes home to find Jayden and Brady in his apartment with news that the evil sorcerer Raul is in Montreal. In their search for the now-powerless villain, they find themselves cast back into Andvell, tasked by the Sisters with finding Raul before he regains his power and destroys the world. As far as Jeff is concerned, he has greater issues. Cassie has a new admirer, his characters are keeping secrets, and he has become the target of a silent assassin. Without his creativity, Jeff doesn't know if he's up to the challenge. If he wants to save his world from ruin, he needs to prove he has more to offer than his imagination.

Immortality has its perks. Dealing with vampires is not one of them. After nine hundred years protecting the balance between magical and mundane, I do my best to avoid squabbles among the fanged variety. They're overdramatic, dress better than I do, and never have simple problems. My oldest friend included. But when Adrian asks me, his favourite sorceress, to do him a favour and help find a missing vampire queen, what can I do but say yes? Especially when my sort-of protégé has a vision about all the ways the city will go sideways if we don't get her back on her throne. The missing person's case quickly devolves into a free-for-all as a horde of rogue human thralls decides I would better serve the vampires dead. Who's giving them orders? Because it certainly isn't the queen. Not helping matters is my ex, a servant of Death, who refuses to stay where he's supposed to: in my past. With the city on the brink of war, the vampire nest on the edge of collapse, and my suitcase at serious risk of running empty before this problem is resolved, I have to put the pieces together before it's too late. Oh yeah. Adrian owes me big time.
