Nuala of Glengowyn hasn’t left the elven kingdom in over a century, but not by choice. Her skills as a weapons master have made her a prisoner of her people, held apart, protected in the extreme. Until Sorcerers attack the neighboring human city. When she’s sent to help the humans, however, Nuala is still far from free. Because she’s forced to travel with a bodyguard, the most fearsome warrior among her people—and the only man Nuala has ever loved. Einar is known as a battle-crazed destroyer, so feared among elves he’s called by a single name: Darkness. And he has only one weakness—Nuala. Their union is forbidden, because melding their magics could destroy Nuala’s gifts. But as they journey through the war-torn human city, no royal decree is a match for two hundred years of pent-up desire. Surviving the war zone won’t be enough if they give in to their long denied passion. They’ll have to confront their sovereigns and face the ultimate punishment—or prove love makes them stronger.

When paleontologist Dr. Ti’ann Jones uncovers a mystery that could alter the course of her planet’s future, it puts her and her people in grave danger. She’s forced to call in security to protect her dig site. But the man who shows up threatens Ti’ann on a much more personal level. She’s spent the last three years unsuccessfully trying to forget Nathan Longfeather, but it’s apparent he’s already forgotten her. Nathan thought guarding an archaeological dig site would be an easy and welcome break from his normal high-tension contracts. But when he comes face-to-face with a woman he hasn’t been able to forget for the last three years, he finds himself torn between the job and dragging Ti’ann back to his ship to remind her of those heady nights they spent together. Nights she seems to have forgotten. As the truth of Ti’ann’s discovery is revealed, Nathan’s job gets a lot more deadly, and keeping Ti’ann and her team alive becomes his top priority. In a time when anything to do with Narava’s native species, the Shifters, leads to violence, Ti’ann and Nathan face enemies from both sides of the conflict and will have to find a way to prevent a planet-wide war. If they can survive, they might just have a future…together.

“I don’t know what it is or what it isn’t. I don’t know how it works or functions. I don’t know if it’s magic, pure evil straight from hell, alien, or what. All I know is what it does when the lights go out. And I know I never want to be in the same room with it in the dark.” A mysterious and deadly threat—housed in a strange puzzle box—has found its way to the humble town of Timbuk, Pennsylvania. The object’s origins reach all the way back to Moses, the plagues, and Pharaoh’s wicked magicians. For centuries, secret groups have been hunting the box and its contents. One group allegedly seeks to destroy it. The other—called the Descendants—seeks to use it to visit revenge on the Jewish people. Now fate has placed the box in the hands of an unassuming Christian family, a small-town sheriff, a female state trooper, and a professor of biblical archaeology. Realizing the power the puzzle box holds, they must do everything they can to keep their community—and the world—safe from the deadly darkness.
