Dear listener, I hope you find this note before it gets lost in the waves. Before I get to send another letter and tell you about what happened to me. It all started when my family and I came to the quiet town of Argos, Washington, to start a new life. Again. However, the more I learned about this run-down seaside town, the more mysterious it became. Sea monsters in the bay, weird and extremely secretive townsfolk, and too handsome men. 

First, the Blood Hunger Plague ravaged the world and decimated humanity. Next, to ensure civility, Donor Life Corp required all adult humans to donate blood to vampires.

If only I had known that I would perfectly match with the three dangerously hot vampire heirs of Donor Life Corp.

Fernando Fuerte is a total player. In every sense of the word. He's star forward for the Sharks, the pro soccer team where I handle PR. And I don't care if Mr. Match says he's my soulmate.

Because if there's one thing I hate more than players? It's losing. The problem is, the closer I get to Fuerte, the closer I get to losing my heart.

Why then, when she stumbles upon a human boy in the woods, does she find him so intriguing? His blue eyes don't shine with malice. His smile doesn't menace.

So she saves his life - a single act that will change the fate of both their worlds.

A war brews on the edge of our region with the rise of enemies from my past. Why a coven of unregistered vampires thinks they can claim me? I’m sure to find out. Maintaining order among the Royale Region as our enemies take out our allies proves more difficult than we imagined.

Hundreds of years ago, humans learned the secret to sealing magic beneath their skin and stole it from the world. Faeries reverted to flowers. Shifters remained trapped in their animal forms. Mermaids turned to foam. And the magical creatures who survived vowed revenge. Nymia is one of those survivors - a faerie brought back to life by the return of her magic. When she finds a human girl named Ella with her sister's power trapped beneath her skin, she'll do anything to get her back, including kill her.

Omorose Bouchene has a secret - magic. There's only one problem. At the age of seven, an earthquake struck, catapulting her into a new world. A land made of skyscrapers and cell phones. Fast cars and fluorescent lights, where magic isn't supposed to exist and anyone who wields it is the enemy. But after 10 years of hiding, she's desperate to find a place where she can be free. Because all magic comes with a curse, and her curse is time - every ounce of power she uses strips days off of her life. The clock's winding down, and the only option left is to escape to the realm of the Beast.

Cobblestone streets. A towering castle. And, above all, a queen with the magical ability to strip emotions away.
