England is burning.And the cause...men are too afraid to utter in nothing but a whisper.The Northmen. My father is King Eanred. And me? I am Princess Emeline. My father wants to protect our kingdom against the ruthless Vikings who continue to raid England, so he has betrothed me to Aethelwulf, the son of King Egbert of Wessex-the most powerful realm in all of England. Without this union, Northumbria will fall, which is why I must submit. I must do this for my people. However, it is not in my nature to surrender. So when my father captures the most savage Viking known in our land, I do what no good, God-fearing Christian would do-I help him. His name...Skarth the Godless.People fear what they don't understand, but I will not allow that to control me. Fear makes us blind to the truth, and I refuse to cower because Skarth soon becomes my teacher-in all things. And when his rival, Ulf the Bloody, shatters my world, it becomes clear the lessons have only just begun.My soul is tarnished. I am a sinner. Lord, hear my prayer...

The secret's out...Fate has never been kind to me, but the misfortunes of my past have driven me to seek redemption.My future depends on uncovering my past, but sadly, the answers lay with my mother, a mother who abandoned me when I was only a child.Now that I have finally found her, I'm determined to uncover the truth before my past catches up with me.But that information comes with a price...Quinn Berkeley is the sole reason I carry on. But Quinn has a secret of his own.Will his secret destroy us both? And more importantly, what will Quinn's secret do to him once he confesses the sins of his past?Life is about to explode in a way I never thought possible...

Some secrets are best left untold...I escaped to the sleepy little town of South Boston, Virginia, with theintent to be normal and find a place I could call home.But my past has come back with a vengeance and forced me to runyet again.This time, however, I'm not alone...Quinn and I are on the run, fleeing for our lives while attempting to proveour innocence for a crime we did not commit.But with a tainted past like mine, it was inevitable that one day, it would catch up to me in a way I never fathomed.One ill-fated decision leads to an explosion of unimaginable events, forcing Quinn and me to not only run for our lives but also...for our redemption.

All I want is revenge.But I'm afraid it will destroy me because I'm not a monster.Or maybe I am.And that's thanks to Doctor Alanna Norton.She's tortured me.She's made me forget who I am.And she's done all this in the name of love.But the love I feel for my son, who was stolen from me, will triumph. I won't accept any other outcome.There is another love which I will fight for-Dutch Atwood. But what I find...the sting of betrayal lingers. I look at Dutch through new eyes; he doesn't trust me, and I don't trust him.I'm faced with so many scenarios-I wish I knew how this story ends so I can make the right choice. But there is no right in the hand I was dealt. Alanna wants love so badly, so I intend to show her what true love looks like, because the only thing that matters is getting out of here...but not before I take from Alanna what she took from me.Her heart.

Piano has always been my one true love. So when the music stops, I do whatever I can to hear it again. But when I wake, all I hear is his heart and the memories that come with it.This is my body.My mind.But not my heart.Each beat hides a secret, and his voice now replaces the music, demanding I uncover the truth.I'm sent to a place to get better, and that's when I meet her.Every artist needs a muse, and Luna allows me to hear the music again. But when her secrets soon become mine, I realize it's because I've lived this life before.Or rather, he has.The man whose heart beats within my chest knows Luna...and everything she's done.

Monsters are real...and that monster is me.I've surrendered. I have no other choice. With Babydoll gone, I'm going to do whatever it takes to find her. I will lie.Cheat.Murder...and I'll do so with a smile.I'll even sell my soul to the devil...because that's who my father, Sean Kelly, is. He won't stop until Belfast is his. He knows I'm at my breaking point. Just how far will he push until I lose myself to the darkness for good?But I'm prepared to give it all away. She's all that matters.However, this life isn't done with me yet. A startling secret threatens to destroy me, and a new player is introduced into the game. I don't know if he is a friend or foe. What I do know is that he has the power to change the world as I know it.He wants what is mine.My kingdom.My name.And my legacy.But I am Puck Kelly-and every monster is scared of somethin'...and that somethin' is me.No more hiding in the shadows because I'm huntin' youse, and this time, I won't lose.

Belfast isn't what it used to be. Alliances are broken. Kingdoms have fallen. But those who remain loyal see me as their rightful king. With secrets unraveled, my need for vengeance grows stronger every day. However, ten years is a long time. People have changed. I have changed. But the one thing that remains untouched is my love for Babydoll-I love her...even if she doesn't feel the same. I will take back what's mine. My kingdom. My name. And my girl. Every monster is scared of somethin'...and that somethin' is me.No more hiding in the shadows because I'm huntin' you...Father. Run, wee monsters, run.
