Sometimes the need for blood outweighs all else. Barbarian-Princess Ivy will do anything to save her people, even if it means forming an unlikely alliance with Lukor the goliath. Bloodlust is driving her father to provoke the other five races into war, a war the precious few barbarians will not likely survive. Unbeknownst to her, Lukor blames the barbarians for murdering his sister and plans on sabotaging her goal. Almost despite themselves, they grow to respect each other, but nothing Ivy can do will prevent the war. Not even killing her father and becoming Barbaroness can stop the tide. And when bloodlust claims Ivy, forcing her to kill everyone in her path, she might destroy her one last chance at peace and possibly love too with one swing of her sword.
The stories about her have been greatly exaggerated. Yes, she is beautiful, with wavy blond hair and big, blue eyes and flawless skin, but her charming fa ade is a lie, a mask, a deceit. Yes, yes, I'm sure you think me merely jealous. I'm not. I'm the victim, and I can prove it. You see, Eleonore deserves to be locked away. My, she even deserves to be killed This gripping retelling of a much-loved fairy tale will make you question all you think you know about the girl who steals away to a ball and leaves behind a slipper. This volume contains Of Cinder and Madness, The Cost of Love, The Cost of Grief, and The Cost of Power.
At only sixteen years of age, she is a beautiful terror, with her wavy blond locks and her shockingly violet eyes. Her skin is as fair as she is foul. Only I can stop her. Only I dare to rise up against her, for the sake of a kingdom that is not my own. Others may scorn me for interfering, but interfere I must. I will not allow this exquisite monster to harm more than she already has. Some might call me the monster, but I? I know the truth, and I will not hesitate to do what I must. This gripping retelling will make you question if perhaps the fairy had the right of it for placing the princess under the sleeping curse. The volume contains Of Slumber and Discord and The Cost of Magic.
At the front of the ruined castle, I hesitate. Can I dare do this? How can I not? I will do all I can to protect her, she, Isabelle Mercier, the woman I have loved since before I could walk. A slight exaggeration, to be sure, but nevertheless, my love for her is pure and undying. If my own life should be forfeit to keep her happy, then I should be grateful for the chance to bring a smile upon her face. A horrific beast. A desperate man. A woman willing to do anything for her family. This tale of a beauty and a beast is one that will make you wonder if perhaps the curse is well deserved. This volume contains Of Rose and Cruelty and The Cost of Rage.

But Clarissa knows what she's seen. Unfortunately, she's a little distracted, and her actions earn her a suspension. Great. Life is really looking up. Maybe her therapist is right.

She's just hoping that won't require her to lose a lot of blood... or her head.

But then she witnesses an animal attack... and the animal shifts into a man. Clarissa has faced down vamps. She'll charge against werewolves, too, and pray that a swipe of their claws won't turn her into one of them, because, really, that's the last thing she needs.
