They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger—if that's the case, I better be badass by the time this is over.
After two years at a dead-end job, Rebecca Peterson finally walks away from everything she knows to follow her dreams in Ireland. Instead of dreams, the dreary streets of Belfast rekindle her terrifying nightmares, and this time they aren't confined to her imagination. Twisted and vicious, Faeries are being unleashed on Earth to prey upon humans, who are unaware of the vile creatures walking among them. Becca must stay alive long enough to learn why she can see what others can't, and even more importantly, discover how to keep the Fae from destroying life on Earth.
Delving into the underbelly of the city, Becca discovers that she is not entirely alone in her abilities; however, centuries of secrecy makes gathering information a challenge. When Becca crosses paths with two mysterious strangers, her life is only complicated further. The gorgeous but brooding Lochlan demands complete honesty but refuses to provide any answers of his own. On the other hand, Ronan is enigmatic and charming, and with his sights set on making Becca his, he offers more help than most. But Becca quickly learns that trusting others is difficult when you have secrets of your own. Sometimes, the enemy is within....

In the gang-ridden Wormpile District, 16-year-old Larin shouts nonsense words into the decaying alleyways, a magical tourette’s syndrome that has brought him grief from every neighborhood thug. Protected from the worst beatings by his drug-addicted warrior-uncle, Larin’s life is one of loneliness, trapped in his uncle’s four block safe zone where no gang member dares tread. But when he learns his words have marked him as servant to Lord of Demons, things go from bad to worse. For that phrase has shoved him into the middle of an ancient war between his Master and the Six-Legged gods, both of whom regard humanity as mere playthings.
With his home facing threats from every direction, Larin will have to tread the narrow path between two evils, his only allies his drug-addicted uncle, a permanently drunk priestess, and a high-born wizardress who must hold her nose and work with the street rabble she despises. For as bad as Larin's Master is, refusing to follow him will only plunge his empire into a greater darkness—an abyss so deep, it will turn mankind’s soul to ash.

Goddess Hel, thousands of years ago, set her hordes to conquer the Nine Worlds of Odin. She did it to pay back for insults, for her cruel fate, and to regain her stolen Eye.
She failed to take the Nine Worlds, but the worlds were shut off from each other, and from the gods.
Now, thousands of years after the war, an evil creature has found a way to regain the still lost Eye, and possibly, a way to take the Nine Worlds, one by one. The fates of the Nine Worlds and the gods themselves hang in balance, and on the shoulders of a very special party of enslaved humans. Harnessing their unusual powers, coaching them to be weapons, and more, the monster has finally found the unique, special human amongst the party, the one she has sought for thousands of years.
Her name is Shannon.
Shannon can change the fate of Aldheim, the elven world of god Freyr, and the ancient monster demands Shannon serve her in exchange for her sister’s life, and for their eventual freedom and for glory that follows the conquest. Yet, for Shannon, the courage to defy her captor is born of the one thing she never had before.
Friendship.
Will Shannon find her way in the webs of deceit, or shall she be forced into servitude to a being, whose quest will lay low nations and perhaps even worlds?
