    You were warned from a young age about the fair folk from your father, and that you should never make a deal with one-- no matter how dire your circumstances.

In another moment of desperation, you once more made a plea with him for your freedom. The condition was that if you win his trials, you were free to leave but if you failed, you must stay in the fairy realm and wed him. With only your determination and skills, you must fight through each trial more treacherous than the last or be forever trapped. (Sequel to 'The Game').

With the help of Prince Ivan, noble Captain Luther Armstrong, and the elusive Great Mage Isaac, Rose sets out to uncover the darkness infecting the kingdom of Naveer. But cursed forests and bloodthirsty creatures are only the beginning. The Moranum-a secretive faction of rogue mages-are moving in the shadows, determined to dismantle the Celestial Order and reshape the magic that governs the world. As war looms and betrayals mount, Rose is haunted by visions from the Dream Realm she can't explain and a growing power that defies everything she's been taught. Her connection to the gods may be the key to saving the four kingdoms...or destroying them. The Kingdom of Night is rising. And Rose might be the only one who can stop it.

    When a cosmic disaster rips Kamala Khan, a bright-eyed hero from Jersey City, out of her dimension, she wakes up in a place of eternal night and absolute horror: the isolated, mold-infested world of Eastern Europe. Stripped of her memories and powers, the colossal girl is found by Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, the fierce, towering Matriarch of the gothic Castle Dimitrescu. Alcina sees not a lost girl, but a valuable asset-a powerful replacement for her own dying lineage. Given the new name Karina, Kamala is quickly and ruthlessly assimilated into the Dimitrescu family, finding herself drawn into the twisted, possessive love of her new 'mother' and her three monstrous sisters. As Karina learns the dark etiquette of her new life-from controlling her unstable Titan powers to the 'necessity' of their vampiric existence-fragments of her past life as a hero, Ms. Marvel, begin to resurface. The valley's supreme deity, Mother Miranda, recognizes the dangerous anomaly, forcing Karina and Alcina into a catastrophic, definitive war. Will Karina embrace the chance to return to the light and the family who loves her? Or will she make the ultimate anti-hero choice: sacrificing her identity and her soul to protect the terrifying, possessive, found family she has chosen in the darkness? A dark, epic retelling of found family, monstrous love, and the price of choosing the shadow
