Fall of the Seven Isles

The girls in Mama Si's Paradise live like royalty. Real-life princesses. Dolls, she calls them, and what they do is entertain her very beautiful, very wealthy guests. They hide the true face of the Paradise so well… Good ole me went in there to apply for a housekeeping position after I caught my boyfriend cheating, and he kicked me out. Nobody in town was hiring, so I thought, what the hell? Even though I knew what that place was, I went. Then Mama Si saw me. She took one look at me, told me that the vacancy was no longer available, but that she had a better offer to make me-to become one of her dolls. I accepted because she promised me freedom. She promised me power. She promised me magic. She lied. My whole world turns upside down for me within days. I end up bitten by a dragon and stuck in an isle where the sun never shines. Stuck in the Evernight Court, as the bride-to-be of one of the five Evernight brothers who rule the Seven Isles-what is left of the world of magic on Earth. They're powerful vampires, hungry for new blood, desperate for an heir, each more breathtakingly beautiful than the last-and all of them trying to make me theirs. I pretend to play along while I search for an escape from their Isle and hope to make it back home in one piece. Except the Evernight brothers are not easily fooled. Secrets hang in the air, and there's a storm lurking in the distance that nobody seems to know about. The more time I spend in their midst, the more I am convinced that I will never find my way back, that I will have no choice but to accept my fate on the Isle. And the first question is, which one of the brothers will make me their bride? For mature listeners.

The Evernight brothers are determined to have me, and now that I'm all alone, trapped in their castle, it's only a matter of time before one of them claims me. And there is nothing I can do about it. Grey is gone, sucked in by a hole in the sky, and I'm all alone, surrounded by the Evernights. Surrounded by brides and a whole nation of Enchanted who hated my guts, and blamed me for Grey's banishment. The brothers are looking for reasons to punish me and force me to become theirs. Sooner or later they'll succeed-if I don't find a way to protect myself first. You should bed them, all of them, and you'll have more magic power than you could have dreamed of, they tell me. Grey is gone-why are you loyal to a dead man? they say. You will be ours, one way or the other… Fuck that. I will do whatever it takes to survive these monsters wearing human faces-especially when I find out that not all is lost yet. There's a chance that Grey is still alive, trapped in a dark aisle, unable to come to me, so I have to find a way to him instead. Secrets surround me. People with hidden agendas try to get to me, and something very big and very bad is about to happen in the Seven Isles. So big that there's a good chance nobody will survive it-so of course Valentine is involved. Whatever happens, one thing is clear: I will go to the ends of the world to find Grey, even if what I find when I get there will scar me for life. For mature listeners.
