But she's not. She is a Dae-part Demon and part Fay-with a little Dark Dweller thrown in to make her even more of a freak.Seeing Seattle rebuilt only confirms she has been gone three years. For her it was not long ago that the Seattle area was just rubble of concrete and death. All done by her hand. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is her undeniable connection to Eli Dragen, who is sexy, gorgeous, and even more frustrating. But her problems go way past him. The Seelie Queen of the Otherworld still holds Mark, Em's father, and her friends, Ryan, and Josh as hostages. Em needs to rescue them without, once again, getting caught and being used as a pawn to help the Queen regain possession of Earth.

Now that Ember knows her mother is alive, so many things begin to make sense; but so many other things are even more confusing. To make matters worse, everyone is harboring secrets. Lily continues to keep the truth from Em which puts a strain on both of them. As Eli's past is revealed, Em understands more clearly why he acts like he does and how much their lives are intertwined. But she also knows Eli is holding something back, something that could change their relationship forever. Em herself continues to wrestle with her feelings toward Torin and her own secret she's withholding from Kennedy. As the tension for war mounts between the Seelie and Unseelie (Light and Dark), the tension at the Dark Dweller's compound mounts even more as they prepare to obtain the sword no matter what the price. But is Ember the answer to the location of the sword? Is she the one to fulfill the prophecy? As usual nothing is ever what it seems.

There is nothing the Unseelie King can't acquire.That is until he meets Fionna Cathbad, a fierce Druid, who won't bow to anyone. Especially Lars. The Demon King has every right to kill her. Her treasonous acts against the crown are undisputable. But she is the key to the one thing he wants more than anything: the Cauldron of Dagda. A powerful treasure that no fae, even the King, should possess.To get what he wants, Lars discovers the very thing that forces Fionna to help him. This leads them down a treacherous path because it's not only Fionna who is deceiving him. His own mind is starting to turn on him, twisting his sanity, and releasing the demon he keeps pinned up. As old ghosts and new foes step into this game, Lars needs to find the cauldron before all is lost.His kingdom and himself.

Especially when two of those visions are sexy as hell brothers. One warm and friendly, the other cold and bitter. There is a draw to them she can't deny, pushing at her barriers, and ripping her sanity away.Her life was going exactly as planned-school, work, and building a life with her longtime boyfriend, Scott. But the harder she tries to keep everything in order, the faster it falls apart, shattering it like glass.Dinah's controlled world is about to descend into madness.When the beauty breaks, the beast will arise.
