Of all those in the King of Alden’s retinue, the bloodbinders are the most prized. The magic they wield can forge invaluable weapons, ones that make soldiers like Lady Alix Black unerringly lethal. However, the bloodbinders’ powers can do so much more—and so much worse… A cunning and impetuous scout, Alix only wishes to serve quietly on the edges of the action. But when the king is betrayed by his own brother and left to die at the hands of attacking Oridian forces, she winds up single-handedly saving her sovereign. Suddenly, she is head of the king’s personal guard, an honor made all the more dubious by the king’s exile from his own court. Surrounded by enemies, Alix must help him reclaim his crown, all the while attempting to repel the relentless tide of invaders led by the Priest, most feared of Oridia’s lords. But while Alix’s king commands her duty, both he and a fellow scout lay claim to her heart. And when the time comes, she may need to choose between the two men who need her most…

The bonds of family, love, and loyalty are pushed to their limits in this thrilling conclusion to the epic saga started in The Bloodbound... As the war between Alden and Oridia draws to an end, the fates of both kingdoms rest on the actions of a select group of individuals—and, of course, on the unbreakable bonds of blood... Unbeknownst to most of Alden, King Erik, in thrall to a cruel bloodbinder, is locked away in his own palace, plotting revenge. To save her king, Lady Alix must journey behind enemy lines to destroy the bloodbinder. But her quest will demand sacrifices that may be more than she can bear. Meanwhile, as the Warlord of Oridia tightens his grip on Alden, the men Alix loves face equally deadly tasks: Her husband, Liam, must run a country at war while her brother, Rig, fights a losing battle on the front lines. If either of them fails, Alden could be lost—and even if they succeed, their efforts may be too late to save everyone Alix holds dear... From the Paperback edition.

An ancient demon lies trapped behind the stone walls of an Incan cave prison; for centuries it had demanded blood sacrifices, and had schemed to escape. Then it discovers a pathway into the world of men, forging itself into a malevolent and cursed killing object, and making itself capable of giving misery and bringing death to all who touch it. Through decades it torments, destroys, the lives of the unlucky people it comes into contact with until a loving married couple, Emily and Sam Walters, have enough love and faith–and the help of a mysterious priest who’s much more than he appears to be–to fight against, and destroy the ancient evil forever…and to finally send it back to hell where it belongs.

Can the prey really catch the predator? Or will the predator devour the prey? When Maya, a dark sorceress, discovered an ancient scroll in her search for ultimate power, she kidnapped a lethal Alpha known for his ruthless and brutal ways, an Alpha known to be more beast than man. Alpha Xavier Thaeos, the Southern Cardinal Lord. He ruled over others weaker than him and was considered a living nightmare. He was the Alpha of Alphas. The head honcho. And Maya had succeeded in chaining him to the walls of her keep and bleeding him to activate the scroll's ritual, never realizing that she was walking face first into a trap big enough to bind herself to the cunning Alpha. Permanently. ***This steamy werewolf romance contains explicit love scenes.*** Excerpt: “What is the purpose? Why risk your life and do something so very foolish as to cross me?” the daunting Alpha asked. With a slight lift of her upper lip, the sorceress pulled the silver dagger out of her bag and approached the daunting Alpha. “Someone like you wouldn’t understand.” “If you don’t tell me, how do you know I won’t?” he asked swiftly, watching the dark sorceress step into the barrier between safety and chaos. A feral smile emerged on Xavier’s lips. His primal urges awakened as the wondrous scent of spring blossoms curled around his senses and teased him with its delicious elements. Maya watched him with sharp eyes, suspicion collecting in the light depths. “First of all, why do you even care?” There was a little pause after her words, as if he were contemplating her question with the utmost consideration. All the while, his citrine-colored eyes stared directly into her own, molten and heated, in such an unbearable way that she had to remove her gaze. Maya hated the way he stared at her. It gave her this insecure feeling of being the lesser of the two, as if he were superior to her and would one day make her pay for her insolence. She loathed the feeling of being the prey when he was the mighty predator. It irked her to no end. “Because you interest me,” he said. “You make me want to know more about you.” His powerful statement caused goosebumps to litter Maya’s skin in sickening amounts. She had to stop herself from heaving in disgust. Her back straightened and her shoulders squared when she stopped but a foot from him, smiling sweetly, angelically up at him with those full pouty lips he wanted to map with his own. Then, she replied to him with a harsh stab of the silver dagger straight through his muscled forearm. “Your interest is rather strange and unnecessary,” she replied offhandedly. “And I would prefer you keep it to yourself, or I will do it for you.” Maya heatedly watched as crimson blossomed on his skin and collected in the copper chalice she had conjured. The first few drops pitter-pattered in her cup, dancing a light rhythm, until she twisted the dagger sharply and caused blood to gush down and fill the cup. “Don’t forget, Alpha, you are my prisoner. Cooperate and I will let you go. Retaliate and I will let you rot within the very depths of hell,” she threatened, crudely removing the dagger before digging it back into his arm to state how serious she was. “Mark. My. Words.” In response to her violent caution, mirth filled his eyes instead of fear, anger, or pain. Let him go? He smirked at the quixotic thought. She would not be able to. Reviews What the readers are saying about this book: "The story line is truly captivating and absolutely thrilling. I love the fact that the main [character] is not some naive girl who knows nothing. She has character." "This story is soo good! I enjoy how Maya isn't the usual goody two shoes. She's cunning and she's not afraid to do everything to save her mother regardless of the repercussions...She's so badasssss and maaan, I just love it! It is easily one of the most original plots I have read so far." "This book is just like quicksand.

"[I] absolutely love this book.😍😱 I have read many werewolf books, but this book has a completely different take and it is written exceptionally well. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good read..." "The suspense is perfect. The chemistry between them is off the charts and they haven't even properly bonded yet. They both are driven, which makes dynamics of their soon to be relationship interesting. Who will bend and how will they make it work? So far this book has captured my imagination right from the first chapter. Great writing. Thank you. I have no doubt that with your writing talents you shall be an established author in no time." "I can vividly picture the story in my mind. The author is truly talented at bringing the characters setting and scenes to life! I’m aroused and excited at every chapter, even in waiting!" "This story just began and I'm already craving it like a drug...I'm even writing a review, when it is something that I NEVER do! Before reading, you just need to know that it is dark, so if it is something you don't like, this story is not for you. But if you could care less, and you love romance, hot werewolf dominant men, and strong women, this story is just for you! The plot is marvelous and for those like me who read thousand of werewolf's stories, its originality is like fresh wind..." "This story is far from the cliche werewolf stories out there. I’ve only read the first few but it has me hooked! The writer is so descriptive that I can picture everything in my mind. This story is a must read for anyone who loves a little mystery with their romance." "Really, really, reeeeeally great story!! It's definitely a 10/10!!"
