It’s anything but a calm, quiet semester at the School of Necessary Magic. Dangerous magical criminals are near, and Homeland Security puts the school on alert. Can Raine Campbell finally show her future boss - the FBI - what she can do, or will it all go sideways? The criminals think they can convince Raine and her friends to help them. But Agent Connor has taught her well. Their junior year gets even more challenging when students’ secrets are exposed. Do Raine and friends help their fellow students or turn them in? Should they follow the rules or do what’s right?

When an elf is kidnapped by a nefarious gang, Raine must use her magical abilities and team up with some unlikely allies in order to rescue her friend.

Cheating death twice in a week should at least merit a vacation. Too bad for Tallulah Corentine the rainy season is in full swing and her boss, the storm god Seth, has no intention of letting her rest. When a little girl bearing the mark of Seth is found dead at a Seattle marina, Tallulah worries it might be the work of her childhood flame Prescott, the right hand man to death herself. However things take on a much more sinister aspect when she learns other would-be clerics have gone missing en route to temples across the country.

Senior year. Two semesters remain before Raine Campbell and her friends graduate from the School of Necessary Magic. Louper finals are in full swing.

Some evil never learns. Also, Raine and her friends encounter a witch with a strange necklace in the kemana. When she invites them to a meeting of a secret society, things get interesting - quick.

Raine Campbell and her friends arrive to team up with another school to tackle the Magical Multitudes Project, ready for a little fun during the school break.

Earthquakes plague the area, and Raine even thinks she sees other people on the island - people who aren’t supposed to be there. When the students find a dead creature, they finally know for certain - there’s trouble on the island.

Their senior year is wrapping up. Finals are coming up, and decisions are being made for college and life after high school. Movie nights, pranks, louper finals, and trips to the kemana - Raine and her friends are busy. Too bad the bad guys didn’t get the notice that Raine and her friends are good at multitasking - because they’re not so busy that they won’t take a break to deal with trouble one more time and save their friends and save their school.

When rumors of a black dog roaming campus turn into grisly attacks, Raine must put aside her busy class schedule to investigate and make sure no one else gets hurt.

She’s trained with him. She’s hunted with him. She’s killed with him. Now he’s missing. After the loss of her mother years ago, he is all she has left, and she will do whatever she can to find him. They had made a pact, a rule never to be broken: If we don't hear anything after three days, we investigate. Three days passed. Now Bethany must take all her years of training, all the skills she developed, and leave the place she’s called home her whole life.

Being Chosen was supposed to be a gift. That’s what Tallulah Corentine’s parents told her when they handed her over to the Rain Chasers on her seventh birthday. It was an honor to be born with a destiny, to be hand selected by the gods before taking her first breath. She should be overjoyed. Twenty years later, Tallulah is still waiting for the gift. She might have the power of the storm at her fingertips, but she’s spent her whole adult life living under a cloud.

Tallulah Corentine turned back time itself to save her sister Sunny's life, but in doing so she also erased the one perfect night she spent with the man she loves. Now, the bad luck priest Cade Melpomene has a question or two about some dreams he's been having. Explaining that would be hard enough, but Tallulah's got her hands full as Charon, the ferryman of the dead, is staking his claim on Sunny, and a charlatan storm god is stirring up trouble for Seth in Texas.

Wenn ich meine Ausbildung zur Walküre überleben will, muss ich mir meine Flügel verdienen. Wenn ich Kain überleben will, muss ich eine Entscheidung treffen, die unsere Welt in Schutt und Asche legen könnte. Ich bin kaputt. Meine Fae-Magie funktioniert nicht, und niemand weiß, dass ich existiere. Meine Schwester hingegen ist auf dem Weg zu großem Ruhm. Sie wurde auserwählt, in den mythischen Federklingenhallen zur Walküre ausgebildet zu werden. Doch als die Walküren kommen, um meine Schwester abzuholen, nehmen sie mich mit.

Maddy dachte, sie wüsste genau, was ihren Tod verursachen würde. Jetzt ist die Liste so lang, dass es unmöglich ist, es vorauszusehen. Die vielleicht größte Gefahr? Kain. Mit jedem Tag, den sie in den Federklingenhallen verbringt, werden mehr Geheimnisse gelüftet, und es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis eines davon ihr eigenes ist. Wenn Kain das von ihr bekommt, was er will … könnten nicht nur diejenigen, die ihn verraten haben, seinen Zorn zu spüren bekommen. Sie muss stark sein. Sie muss sich ihre Flügel verdienen. Sie muss der Verlockung in seinen flammenden Augen widerstehen.

Sie ist eine verwöhnte Prinzessin. Kain beobachtet sie, weil sie ihn fasziniert. Er folgt ihr, weil sie die Gunst der Federklingenhallen genießt. Er braucht sie, um in den Tresorraum zu gelangen. Sie ist eine Kämpferin. Er beobachtet sie, weil sie schön ist. Er folgt ihr, um jeden, der ihr wehtut, bei lebendigem Leib zu verbrennen – solange er das kann. Er braucht sie. Punkt.

Samantha Moon is about to discover that going back in time comes with some complications. Like having two memories of returning home from the Civil War. With no explanation for why a second memory appears, Sam is left contemplating the nature of time itself, parallel worlds, and a love that might have been. Along with her own sanity. After all, this second memory feels just as real as the first. Perhaps even more so. Samantha may not know why this alternate memory has appeared, but she does know one thing.... It all begins on a train....

All I wanted to do was go to a bar and drown my sorrows in some alcohol, but I had to get attacked by an incubus. Now, I'm being guarded by a hunky but oh-so-irritating vampire (who bit me, too) while the incubus stalks me. Being guarded by the sexy vampire probably wouldn't be that bad if not for the fact that my perfect boss has finally noticed me.

Ich bin von Zeus entführt, in Manhattan aufgegriffen und von der olympischen Gottheit halb zu Tode erschreckt worden. Jetzt werde ich in der Unterwelt gefangen gehalten und gezwungen, in einer Reihe von tödlichen Tribunalen, um die Position der Königin der Unterwelt zu kämpfen. Das würde bedeuten, Hades heiraten zu müssen, den furchterregenden Gott des Todes. Wer zum Teufel möchte überhaupt einen Ehemann, geschweige denn einen, der aus Rauch geschaffen und von Tod durchsetzt ist?

Der griechische Gott der Unterwelt hat mein Leben völlig auf den Kopf gestellt und nun stelle ich alles infrage, was ich über mein Leben zu wissen geglaubt hatte. Und jetzt weiß ich nicht einmal mehr, wer ich bin. In meine Brust tobt der Krieg, mein Verlangen nach mehr Magie mit dem Wissen darüber in Einklang zu bringen, was diese Kräfte den Menschen im Olymp antun. Was sie mir in der Vergangenheit bereits angetan haben mögen. Ich weiß jedoch, dass meine Gefühle für Hades wahr sind. Der Herr der Toten ist so viel mehr, als ich je erwartet habe, und etwas in mir erkennt, dass ich ihn ebenso sehr brauche wie er mich.
