A former slave fighting for justice.
A reclusive warrior who no longer believes it exists.
And a dark magic that will entangle their fates . . .
Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to
survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the
night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.
Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to
the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the
world. To join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with
Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who
despises the Orders. The Orders’ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah
must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more
dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he
wants to forget may be the key to her future . . . or the downfall of
them both.
Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it
means gambling in the Orders’ deadly games. Even if it means
sacrificing her heart. Even if it means wielding death itself.
Daughter of No Worlds is a fantastical tale of passionate romance,
vengeance and redemption – the first in the breathtaking War of Lost

The problem? I have no idea who did this to her.

ice―and the shadows beyond it.
To infiltrate their secret society, I set my sights on their weakest
link: Kane Davenport, the Viper’s charismatic captain.
But too late, I realise I’ve enticed the most venomous snake.
Behind Kane’s perfect mask lies something far more dangerous than I
ever imagined.
AND NOW I’M TRAPPED IN A LETHAL GAME WITH NO ESCAPE.
She’s meant to be catching flights, not catching feelings…
Molly and Andrew are just trying to get home to Ireland for the
holidays, when a freak snowstorm grounds their flight.
Nothing romantic has ever happened between them: they’re friends and
that’s all. But once a year, for the last ten years, Molly has spent
seven hours and fifteen minutes sitting next to Andrew on the last
flight before Christmas from Chicago to Dublin, drinking terrible
airplane wine and catching up on each other’s lives. In spite of all
the ways the two friends are different, it’s the holiday tradition
neither of them has ever wanted to give up.
Molly isn’t that bothered by Christmas, but—in yet another way they’re
total opposites—Andrew is a full-on fanatic for the festive season and
she knows how much getting back to Ireland means to him. So, instead of
doing the sane thing and just celebrating the holidays together in
America, she does the stupid thing. The irrational thing. She vows to
get him home. And in time for his mam’s famous Christmas dinner.
The clock is ticking. But Molly always has a plan. And—as long as the
highly-specific combination of taxis, planes, boats, and trains all run
on time—it can’t possibly go wrong.
What she doesn’t know is that, as the snow falls over the city and over
the heads of two friends who are sure they’re not meant to be together,
the universe might just have a plan of its own…

to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never

in.

her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being
around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine
everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of
what Happily Ever After should look like.

Can they save themselves? Or will they destroy each other?
Ruby is in shock: Her worst nightmare has come true, and now Oxford and
all her dreams that finally seemed within reach are at risk. Worst of
all, everything points to James as the one responsible, even after

the real James—the one who has his own dreams, the one who makes her
laugh and makes her heart beat faster with a single glance.
However, after an explosive fight between the two, they discover a
terrible truth. Together, Ruby fights to graduate, as James tries to
clear her name at school. But that means once again James must
challenge his father and his expectations for him. And despite

family. Ruby and James must ask themselves if the worlds they live in
are perhaps too different after all, or if they can finally find a way
back to each other.
