Andari Chronicles

She has one job-attend a masqued ball and dance with a handsome prince. What could possibly go wrong? Everything, that's what. After years of submitting to her stepmother's unreasonable demands, Trystan finally has a chance to be free. The promise of a new life, in exchange for her help. Simple, right? After all, the old woman has only asked for one night. One night, one beautiful gown, one dance... and one message to be delivered to a mysterious recipient. It should be easy. Maybe even fun. Especially when she can slip away into the night after the dance, leaving no clue as to her identity. But before she can escape the ball, Trystan makes a shocking discovery that leaves all her hopes in ruins. She will be forced to confront two very different princes-and choose whether to betray her kingdom... or her heart. If she's lucky, maybe she'll even survive to tell about it later.

Kidnapped, abandoned, and betrayed. At least no one's asking her to spin straw into gold... Elaine was happy with her quiet, simple life. But after the death of her parents, the disappearance of her fiancé, and a traumatic kidnapping, quiet and simple are out of the question. Her father left debts, and now his creditors mean to collect. Elaine's only asset is her brilliant artistic talent, but no genius could be equal to the impossible task demanded of her by the man with ultimate power over her future and all that she loves. Held captive by his secret obsession, Elaine discovers a fragile new love in the midst of darkness, and sets out to prove that art can be a powerful weapon, even against tragedy and despair.

It was just a dance. But in Caelan, dancing changes everything. Especially if you're a princess. Princess Ilani is cursed. She can no longer dance, and is therefore considered worthless. Forgotten. Invisible. Until her twelve sisters are trapped in a deadly game with a breathtaking prize-a royal bride and an empire for the taking, if a man is willing to risk everything for a chance to win. Only Ilani can see the sinister forces at work behind the scenes and the danger lurking beneath the smiles of the court. But who will listen to a cursed princess? No one, that's who. No one except a strangely compelling foreigner, whose motives remain shrouded in secrecy and mistrust. As darkness gathers and deadly plans come to light, a fierce princess and a dangerously charming spy may be the only ones who can save both their kingdoms from the malice and magic of a treacherous adversary.

When a beautiful thief meets a beastly king, it's anything but true love. Unless a haunted castle can change their minds... Zara has always hated to steal, even from the dead, but treasure hunting is the only life she knows-until her father's cowardice traps her in an abandoned Erathi castle. She soon discovers that her new home is far less empty than she once believed, and far more dangerous than she could ever have predicted. Alexei is king of a forgotten kingdom-its people dead or enslaved, and the magic that once protected it lost to all but memory. His only hope to save those few who remain is to return to the place where Erath fell, and brave the shadowed halls of a castle that echoes with the ghosts of his past. When their paths collide, Alexei and Zara may both have a chance to atone for past mistakes... unless they kill each other first. Brought together by a castle, a cat, and a crew of allies both expected and unexpected, they will plumb the depths of an unimaginable betrayal and forge the foundations of a love they would risk anything to keep.

She never needed a mirror to tell her who she was. She thought she knew... Until an assassin made her question everything. Brenna Seagrave would rather spy on her kingdom's enemies than attend a ball. She prefers danger and disguise to the smiling insincerities of the Andari court, but no one is quite sure what to do with a countess who engages in espionage. To escape her frustrating new life, Brenna accepts an invitation to visit the mother she's never had a chance to know, but nothing turns out quite as she expects. Her mother is obsessively critical, the neighbor is a ridiculous flirt, and the handsome butler is undoubtedly up to something. Also, someone seems to be plotting her demise. In order to find out who wants to kill her, Brenna must work together with a bumbling nobleman and an old acquaintance who isn't exactly a team player. Yet no one is who they pretend to be-not even Brenna-and it's only a matter of time before her past catches up with her and threatens to destroy everything she's come to love.

There are no wolves in the woods, they said. You'll be completely safe, they said. They lied. Batrice Reyard has everything she's ever wanted-a fabulous job, an understanding mentor, and the freedom to be herself. Or so she thought... Suddenly, she's being sent off to visit her ailing grandmother for the sake of keeping up appearances. Her grandmother is the last person she wishes to visit, especially with a collection of strange companions in tow. But she does love an adventure, so she sets off into the woods determined to find some excitement. She never bargained on the excitement finding her. Mysterious accidents, thefts, and disappearances dog their path, until Batrice is certain they are being stalked by a criminal with a sinister agenda. But what will she find at the end of their road? The satisfaction of catching a thief? Or the sting of betrayal when she learns their pursuer's identity?
