Loving him will cost them everything…
Not loving him will cost more.
Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.
As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.
Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.
Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.
So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?
Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.
But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.
As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.
Because the heart wants what it wants….
And it never asks permission.

How long would you wait for the one you were fated to love?
And how many lifetimes would you live to find your way back to them?
Penelope was only fifteen when she offered her soul to her fated beloved, binding their souls in sacred vowfire. When he left for war, she knew that so long as their fire burned, he would return to her.
For fifteen years, Penelope ruled her island kingdom, holding off the droves of suitors from the surrounding islands and the mainland who sought her throne. Her people whispered that she was stubborn. Unyielding. Cursed. And she let them believe that and kept her eyes on the horizon, waiting for him to return.
Their fire burned on, and her faith remained unwavering.
Until the day she died, and the trap she’d laid sprang, giving her the chance to turn back the clock and chart a new course for the war that stole everything from her.
But she is not the only one who has come back in time, nor is she the first, and there is much more at stake than her fated love and the future that had been stolen from them.
Goddess bless her blood-stained path.

No dragon surrenders his treasure without a fight—and no witch ever forgives her trespassers.
Kaelra survived ten brutal years on the western frontier after her father cast her out for a crime she still didn’t remember. Instead of breaking, she found peace, freedom away from his cruelty, and hope that she would one day fulfill her mother’s dying wish.
Now, with the frontier all but conquered, her father orders her home to sell her into a claimed mate bond at the end of the Calling: the annual, week-long rite where shifters and witches seek their fated mates.
Kaelra knows his plan will fail. She just never imagined that failure would start in the eyes of Ruhkaal, the Elemental Dragon King of Fire and the Southern Crown Prince of the Moongrave Empire.
She is the daughter of his enemy and his only salvation.
Cursed and running out of time, Ruhkaal will stop at nothing to have the one who speaks to his soul and soothes the wretched curse threatening to consume him.
As old and new enemies conspire to bring the decades-long enmity between the Empire and the Southern Clan Council to a head, Kaelra and Ruhkaal’s bond could unite the southern continent…
Or burn it to ash.
