mystery

She wanted a child. He wanted nothing to do with love. But fate doesn't care about intentions—only destiny. Lysandra Moonwell, heir to a forbidden witch bloodline, was desperate. A prophecy foretold her child would bring balance to a fractured world of Elites—vampires, lycans, witches, and more. But to fulfill it, she needed a father powerful enough to match her own chaotic magic. So, she did the unthinkable. She cast a spell. Caveen Landon, son of a vampire princess and a lycan alpha, wakes one morning in a strange bed—haunted by passion he doesn’t remember and bound by a bond he didn’t choose. When he discovers Lysandra’s deception, he swears vengeance. But everything shatters the moment he hears the heartbeat of the child she carries. His child. The betrayal should have ended everything. But the more Caveen tries to hate her, the more he’s drawn to the fire in her eyes, the loneliness in her smile. And Lysandra, prepared to face his fury, never expected to fall for the man she tricked. As hidden powers awaken and the Council hunts down the unborn heir, Caveen and Lysandra must navigate their twisted bond—one forged in magic, betrayal, and a love that refuses to die. But can love truly bloom in the shadows of a lie? Or will the truth tear them—and the world—apart?

Faye Blake doesn’t do partners—and she definitely doesn’t do Ronan Vale. A fierce, no-nonsense private investigator with a haunted past, Faye is determined to uncover the truth behind her sister’s unsolved murder, a cold case tangled in shadows and syndicates. But when the same trail leads her face-first into the path of Ronan Vale—an infuriatingly smooth government agent with secrets deeper than his voice—she’s forced into an uneasy alliance neither of them wants. Ronan Vale plays it cool, hides his scars behind smirks, and never lets anyone too close… especially not Faye, whose kiss still lingers like a bullet wound. He’s on a mission of his own—one that might make her his next target. As the body count rises and a criminal empire tightens its grip, Faye and Ronan must outsmart the enemy—and each other. But with every stolen glance, every heated argument, and every kiss that feels like a threat, the line between justice and obsession blurs. In a world where trust is a trap and desire is a weapon, the most dangerous thing they can do... is fall for each other.

And at the center of it all stands him. The Lycan prince. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. His red eyes seem to follow her every move, his presence a constant, suffocating force. She should fear him like everyone else. She should cower under his gaze. But she doesn’t. Because beneath his terrifying exterior, there’s something else. Something dark and possessive. Something that makes her heart pound in a way it never should. In a world where strength is everything and weakness means death, Lorraine has only one choice.... to fight.

That dominion ended twenty-one years ago, when the last king was slain and the empire shattered. The world rejoiced as the mad nephilim dynasty was cast down, its legacy buried beneath new borders and fledgling kingdoms. But on the night of the fall, unknown to most, a son of the slain king was smuggled from the City of Many Tongues by loyalists and hidden in a distant corner of the world.

This is the tale of his return, a journey across the broken realms of Malkuth, haunted by sorcerers, demon princes, eldritch gods, and the worst of men. As Yvain confronts the terrible weight of his bloodline, he must decide whether to inherit his family’s tyranny… or destroy everything.
