It's not every day you get a second chance to live. Crystal Wynter longs to be reunited with her family and friends, but six months have passed since she almost accidentally started the apocalypse. Six months since she saved the world. Six months since she took a breath. The world is different now. Everyone believes Crystal is dead. Her adopted mother is married, and her boyfriend Vince has turned to her best friend Brianna. Gavin, the hot witch with a witch hunter for a father and the only one who knows Crystal is alive, insists she can't return home. After all, she has new enemies. Worse, she's no longer magic incarnate. Yes, Crystal's back, but she's not the same. She's human.

It's not every day you claw your way out of Hell. Crystal Wynter has returned to Claymore, but her hometown is unrecognizable. Demons, immoral magical beings, and criminals rule the day, and chaos reigns at night. No one is safe. No one has hope. Try as she might, Crystal is spent. Hell stole so much from her. Life has dealt her terrible blows. Maybe Claymore isn't worth saving, and even if Crystal is willing to try, it just might take everything she has left to offer.

It's not every day you face extinction. If there's one thing Crystal Wynter knows, it's death. She died before and then came back. Her town died, but she saved it. Now, the lives of all magical beings are threatened, even Crystal's. The world is dividing. If Crystal chooses the wrong side, many may die. Crystal may die. And if she does, there isn't a chance she'll return again.

It's not every day you get sucked into a portal to Hell. Crystal Wynter's life is in turmoil. She's banished demons to Hell only she's stuck there too, with the witch Gavin, a close friend and a good kisser, and Vince, who may or may not still be her boyfriend. As the trio struggles to survive demon attacks and traverse this hellhole, it soon becomes clear that Crystal must find a way to become magic incarnate again. If she can't, they will be stuck, body and soul, in Hell for all of eternity.

It's not every day you accidentally open a portal to Hell on earth. A witch died to bring Crystal Wynter into the world as the embodiment of magic in the teenager's first life. Now, that witch is back with a vengeance. Unfortunately, Crystal's attempts to free herself from the witch's clutches have disastrous consequences. Demons are hell-bent on destroying her hometown Claymore. Throughout her second life, Crystal has lacked magic except for the ability to shift into a creature and a strange connection to both life and death. If she can't find a way to balance her new powers, the apocalypse will happen this time. Magic has never been more vital.

It's not every day you learn you're the incarnation of magic. When Crystal learns her birth mother sought witches to conceive her, the fifteen-year-old's faith is shaken. God isn't the one answering her prayers. She is. After her aunt is threatened, Crystal attempts to master her power, but flying and conjuring fireballs attract dangerous attention. A witch hunter kidnaps her boyfriend, and shamans and witches hunt Crystal, desperate to use her to end their centuries-old war. If Crystal can't figure out what she's capable of, she won't just fail to protect those she loves and end the war. She might start the apocalypse.

Orphan Mirella is more than a little distracted when her second year at the Magical Hunters Academy starts. Mirella isn't boy crazy. Since coming to the academy, she's bound and determined to research, study, and practice as much as she can. She will become a strong witch no matter the toll it takes on her mentally, physically, and emotionally. But ever since she learned her parents had been murdered, Mirella's been shaken to the core. Researching about them, delving into their past, trying to resurrect the cold case causes her to fall behind on her studies to the point of being threatened with expulsion. But Mirella can't stop, and while she may or may not be getting closer to find her parent's murderer, whichever paranormal creature it had been, she just might have caught the eye of someone else, someone evil with the power to vanquish not just her but the entire academy as well.

As Mirella enters her last year at Magical Hunters Academy, she has no idea that the trouble lying in wait might also make it the last year of her life. Everything finally seems to be going Mirella's way. Her classes are amazing, she's finally found her spot in the magical world, and she might finally be willing to say three little words to her boyfriend. There's just one massive unknown-who or what murdered her parents. Is the entity alive, and if so, will it realize that eliminating the Sharpe bloodline requires killing again? Will Mirella survive her toughest test yet? Or will the executioner-in-training be the one executed?
