You arrive, after a treacherous journey, to The Kingdom of Eastern Elves.

Frustrated, she decides to dig into his secrets herself. What she discovers goes way beyond what she bargained for when she stumbles upon his hidden sex dungeon.

Reluctant to enter a creative contract with the troublesome Alexander Blackwood, Adrienne's reservations ease when she talks through the opportunity with her agent. But when he flies her out to London for a business meeting on his private jet, and she finally gets to meet the man she’s heard so much about, she’s not sure if she can work with a man who is so difficult.

When Adrienne and Alexander ink their deal, the real challenges emerge. Wraithmere, the sprawling estate, needs preparation for Adrienne's residence. Meanwhile, a more complicated dilemma surfaces – Alexander's undeniable attraction to Adrienne. Battling his own emotions, when Adrienne's ex-boyfriend poses a threat, Alexander's protective instincts surge, propelling him to take action that he can’t undo.

But out on her morning hike, she’s determined to let stress go for a minute. And she’s finally starting to relax when she gets a call from a mysterious stranger with a beautiful accent…

Fang and Lillia are captured by a coven of witches and at first fear their mission has come to a close. But as they get to know Raven and the other witches, they see that they are allies not foes. And as the night grows later, desire blooms in the darkness.

Under the spell of the moonshadowe root they used to heal their wounds, Fang and Lillia share a passionate moment by the forest spring. But afterwards, they both agree to not mention it again. And making their first stop into a middle kingdom town to restock on supplies is the perfect distraction until they face an unexpected danger.

Navigating the perilous passage across the Middle Kingdom border, Fang and Lillia opt for a different route—venturing beneath it. Through a dark and winding cavern, they navigate their way, but peril persists even upon reaching the other side. Confronted by a demon, both Fang and Lillia sustain injuries, compelling them to resort to moonshadowe root for healing. However, the potent and magical effects of the remedy draw them together in an unexpected way…

Fang, a fae warrior, is not fond of Princess Lillia… and the feeling is mutual. However, when Lillia offers to marry the prince of the Southern Kingdom in order to forge an alliance, the Queen demands that Fang is the one to escort her there. Even though the women swear they are enemies, Fang has a dream about Lillia that suggests otherwise…

Fang and Lillia begin their long journey towards The Middle Kingdom and on the first night, take refuge at an inn. The mood between them is tense, but once they start drinking the local wine they both begin loosening up…and even having a little bit of fun. Later, they retire to their room, but once there find there’s only one bed…

The final challenge of The Gleaning has finally arrived and it’s more dangerous than each that came before it: the remaining competitors are tasked with racing dragons. Rowan is concerned that you’ll not survive, but dragons are hardly are not the only danger… as the games begin, The King kidnaps you and Rowan must fight to set you free.

After escaping the Royal Kingdom, you, Rowan, and Hawthorne take refuge in the wintry kingdom of the witches. Your wounds are not fatal, but dangerous, and you’re immediately taken to the healing ward. And from there, Rowan takes you back to your bedchambers to rest. You aren’t used to being taken care of, but Rowan knows just how to tend to you.

Following another remarkable performance in The Gleaning, Rowan becomes increasingly suspicious that you may not be entirely human. Convinced that there's untapped magical potential within you, he persuades Hawthorne to lead both of you to a secluded mountain cabin for training, where you'll be safe from the prying eyes of the royal watch. And after a particularly strenuous day of magical training, you and Rowan sneak away from the cabin for some much-needed one-on-one relaxation…

Following elemental training, your magical abilities strengthen, making you, Rowan, and Hawthorne an even more formidable team. However, such success only triggers The King's determination to expel you from The Gleaning. And when you effortlessly conquer the third challenge, his retaliation is swift—he declares Rowan's impending marriage to the elven princess. The moment of crisis crystallizes Rowan’s feelings for you, but it might be too late for him to act upon them...

When Dan invites the pack over for the full moon, he asks Wilder to take you camping so they’re free to turn and hunt. Wilder’s pissed. For starters, he’s tired of being ordered around by Dan. But worse than that, he keeps having dreams about you. And when an accident out on the trail forces you to share a tent for the night, the tension is higher than ever…

Wilder is worried that Dan knows what happened between you too, so he tries to play it cool by keeping his distance from you. He plans on skipping the pack's Halloween party, but when you need his help he comes rushing back and is forced to defend you. The fight flips his instincts into overdrive and the tension between you finally comes to a head.

Wilder’s not happy when Dan invites you to work on the ranch—for one, you’re an out-of-towner. But more importantly, you’re a human and living amongst werewolves isn’t exactly safe for non-supernatural folk. He does his best to steer clear of you, but you keep being drawn back together. And when he overhears you spending the night with Dan, he finds himself unexpectedly jealous.

You and Rowan awake after sharing the same bed, but gone is the passion from the night before—you must now focus on the dangerous task at hand. You both still require an amulet to move forward into the next round of the competition. So together you journey into the bog, intent to find a creature that Rowan suspects will have what you need.

The first challenge of The Gleaning has come to a close, but danger still lurks around every corner. Upon return to the castle, Rowan receives an ominous warning from his father: end your alliance with the human or there will be consequences. But in the alluring blue light of The Opening Fire ceremony, he can’t seem to stay away from you.

The next challenge is mere days away and Rowan is summoned to see his father. He tells the fae prince that in the next game each competitor will battle a magical creature of the game-makers choosing. He offers to tell Rowan what creature he will battle if he promises to end any and all relations with the human, but Rowan does not accept: he’s tired of his father’s cruel games of control. He storms off indignant, but secretly he harbors a great fear that without magic you won’t be able to survive this next challenge. The stakes have never been higher and his feelings have never been deeper…

The first challenge of The Gleaning has finally arrived. Each competitor is tasked with finding a golden amulet in Dreadmourne Grove, but there’s not enough for everyone. Thus, what begins as a game quickly turns into a deadly battle. The alliance between you and Rowan is put to the test—can you trust one another with your lives? And when you have to share a shelter for the night, you're forced to grapple with your differences, secrets, and the growing attraction between you.

It’s the night before The Gleaning begins and all the competitors are gathered in the royal banquet hall, drinking fairy mead and reveling in what could be their last night alive. When Rowan spots you, a human, stealing a dagger from Orion he’s alarmed… and begrudgingly impressed. He must satisfy his curiosity: what has brought you to the deadliest game in all of Aurora? He follows you out into the courtyard and the heated confrontation quickly turns into something else entirely.

When the clock strikes midnight, and The Gleaning begins, all hell breaks loose. You and Rowan, caught in the crosshairs, form an unlikely alliance between human huntress and fae prince. He needs to sleep before the first competition starts and you have a very creative idea on how you might both be able to settle down…
