Gemma Rue/The Lost Crown

Lighting struck fifty yards off. My head pounded.

As I turned to look at my surroundings, my gaze fell. A man and woman had laid beside me, and a sword covered in blood was in my hand. Did I do this?

Hollis grows up in a quiet village, convinced she’s ordinary—just another girl in a world where magic belongs to others. But when she turns eighteen and is sent to the prestigious Academy of Oswalda, everything changes. She doesn’t just have powers—she’s one of the top students. Secrets begin to unravel as she discovers shocking truths about her origins, her missing past, and the people who raised her. After a terrifying awakening drenched in blood, with no memory of what she's done, Hollis is forced to ask the questions no one will answer. Who is she really? And what is she capable of? As her powers grow, so does the mystery—and the danger.

Our trail led up the side of a cliff. The path was rocky and, in some places, very unstable. When the Sun went down it got even harder to see. Allyah lit her palm up so that she could see.

“Put that out! You want the others to see us,” I whispered behind me to Allyah.

Hollis never expected much from life in her sleepy village—until the Academy of Oswalda called her name. Magic? Not likely. Or so she thought. But the test doesn’t just reveal she has powers—it crowns her one of the strongest students the Masters have ever seen. With that shock comes a bigger mystery: her past. Her origins don’t line up with anything she’s ever known, and when the couple who raised her vanishes, Hollis sets out on a path full of secrets, shadows, and unexpected strength. Between rocky trails, whispered warnings, and a brooding prince who might be more trouble than help, Hollis must uncover who she really is—and what she’s capable of.

Hollis expects nothing from life beyond her quiet village—until the Academy calls. Every 18-year-old is tested for magic, but she’s sure she’ll be sent back home. Instead, she shocks everyone: powerful, gifted, and destined for more than she ever dreamed. As secrets from her past surface and a chilling vision of blood and thunder haunts her, Hollis sets off to uncover who she really is. Magic pulses through her veins—but so do questions of love, loyalty, and a terrifying power she might not control. One thing’s clear: she can’t go back to ordinary now.

“Like what you see?” Liam asks, knowing exactly how his gaze affects my sensitive body.

Well, two can play his game...

Ember has always run solo—no pack, no strings, no mate bond. But when a missing rogue pulls her into the tangled world of pack wolves, resistance gets a little harder… especially when one teasing, cocky wolf knows exactly how to push her buttons. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and the pull between them only tightens with every glance, every dare, every delicious threat. But in a world where loyalty can cost you everything, trusting the bond she’s sworn to avoid might be the riskiest move of all. Play nice? Not a chance. Play hard? Always. But when the turns into something real, will Ember let herself play to win?

Her: A human afraid of two things: love and wolves.

Him: A wolf determined to prove that alphas can be kind.

After escaping an evil mate, all Maisie wants is a regular human life. She’s willing to sacrifice everything to get it… or is she? When she meets a kind-hearted second-chance mate, she must decide if love is worth the risk. Will Maisie learn to love again before her secrets catch up to her?

In a world where rogues are outcasts, Simon and April navigate the treacherous politics of pack life and forbidden love. As Simon grapples with his rogue status and April defies her family's expectations, they uncover dark secrets and face powerful enemies. Their journey is one of love, betrayal, and the fight for acceptance, leading them to question everything they know about loyalty and destiny.

“You pack wolves all fight the same,” I mock. He’s tall, strong, and an alpha. Even Rogues know not to fight an Alpha. But I’m no regular Rogue.

“Is that so?” His muscles strain against his shirt.

My gaze traces his body. I linger a moment too long. A fist pushes against me. I grab his wrist. We fall with a thud. Our bodies pressed together.

“If you wanted me on top of you, all you had to do was ask.”

When fate forces a rogue and alpha together, will they be able to set aside their differences and give love a chance?
