Cheater now has a straightforward goal, or so it seems to him. To everyone else, his endeavor sounds suicidal for a high-level veteran, never mind a newcomer whose intellect is still shackled by the System.

Until he makes progress on his own capabilities, he cannot hope to achieve anything else. But the System has intentions of its own.

Xander hates werewolves. In all fairness, they’re not too keen on him either. Normally, avoidance would be the obvious solution.

New Orleans is a hot mess. Ancient feuds. Demonic forces bent on destruction. Oh, and apparently vampires are real. Della didn’t sign up for any of this. She didn’t sign up for violence and mayhem in the streets of the Big Easy. She didn’t sign up to be a magnet for an evil force intent on hunting down the reincarnated souls of its enemies.

Michael Andrews, a Canadian living in New York, is learning to live with the side effects of lycanthropy. Other than waking up naked and bloody in Central Park once a month, he’s managing just fine.

What’s the worst betrayal you can imagine? It doesn’t matter what you just answered. Duchess has done something worse. Before she killed her husband during a frenzy of vampiric bloodlust, he begged her to honor a single request. She failed him, and she’s been paying for that failure for the last four hundred years. But Duchess’ lost love has finally returned to her. Reincarnated as Chan Wei Yong, the former King’s Musketeer is now a hardened CIA undercover agent working in the seedy underbelly of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For people like Duchess and Chan, a happy ending just isn’t in the cards.

When an ancient healing ritual goes nuclear and vampires start short-circuiting, the supernatural world begins unraveling faster than you can say “apocalypse now.” Aviva isn’t just investigating a disaster—she’s living in the blast zone. Meantime, with demon magic threatening her boyfriend’s life, Aviva makes a desperate choice: she forges a blood bond with him. But their new connection complicates everything. Now tethered to each other and racing against time, they must find a way to contain the chaos unleashed by the ritual—assuming their bond doesn't destroy them first.

With tensions between the magic and non-magic communities already at a breaking point, Aviva goes undercover on a high-profile murder case that could shatter the city’s fragile peace. As if that weren’t enough pressure, she uncovers a deadly connection to demons—and her own past. But why have one code red crisis when you could have two? Enter the Shepherd: a shadowy figure convinced a vampire breeding ritual is a good idea. Spoiler alert: it’s not. And forget juggling stolen moments with Ezra between supernatural smackdowns.

It was supposed to be a routine drug bust.

Meanwhile, her half-sister is being blackmailed for being an infernal, and as Avi struggles to protect her, she's set on a collision course with the one person she hoped to never meet. And just when she thought things couldn't get any crazier, her ex drops a bomb about second chances.

When Aviva lands a baffling murder investigation, she discovers that the key to solving the crime lies in the last place she expects—a deadly magic gaming hall aboard a freaking yacht. Because why solve a supernatural murder on nice solid ground? While she navigates this high-stakes inquiry on the high-seas, she’s also hunting a mysterious artifact. Should it fall into the wrong hands, it’s game over for any half-demons—like her. No pressure.
