Grey Wolves

Jacque Pierce was just an ordinary seventeen-year-old girl getting ready to start her senior year of high school in Coldspring, Texas. When a mysterious foreign exchange student from Romania moves in across the street, Jacque and her two best friends Sally and Jen don't realize the last two weeks of their summer are going to get a lot more interesting. From the moment Jacque sets eyes on Fane she feels an instant connection, a pull like a moth to a flame. Little does she know that the flame she is drawn to is actually a Canis Lupus, werewolf, and she just happens to be his mate, the other half of his soul. The problem is, Fane is not the only wolf in Coldspring, Texas. Just as Fane and Jacque are getting to know each other, another wolf steps out to try and claim Jacque as his mate. Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha. Will the love Fane has for Jacque be enough to give him the strength to defeat his enemy, and will Jacque accept that she is Fane's mate and complete the bond between them?

With the challenge complete and the corrupt Alpha of Cold spring defeated, Fane is now free to complete the mate bond with Jacque and perform the blood rites. Although the challenge is done, the effects are far reaching. Once it is known that Vasile-one of the strongest Alphas in the world-is in America, specifically Coldspring, Texas, there is one Alpha who cannot overlook the significance of this. An Alpha who happens to share Jacque's DNA. But is this the one she needs to fear? With her mom driving and her best friends Jen and Sally in tow, Jacque set off for her happily ever after. She will soon realize a plan has been put in motion that will change her course and possibly tear her from Fane's grasp forever. It will take a wolf pack, her mother's love, her two best friends' unrelenting determination, her own will to survive, and the undying love of her mate to bring her home. The question remains, if she fights, if she endures, who will she be, what will be left once she is back in her mate's arms?

Jennifer Adams, best friend to Jacque Pierce and Sally Morgan, is spicy, outspoken, a little crazy, and human . . . or so she thought. Jen has just found out that human DNA is not the only thing that resides in her veins; she happens to share that little pesky werewolf gene, although it isn't more than just a drop. Now that she and her friends are living in Romania with Fane's pack, she is also oh so conveniently stuck with the object of her affection, the fur ball Decebel.Drawn to Decebel by something she doesn't understand, Jen finds herself frustrated by the lack of mating signs between her and said fur ball. Not only is she dealing with that problem, she now has been informed that because of that little drop of werewolf blood in her she is now required to attended a multi-pack gathering for unmated wolves. This type of gathering hasn't taken place in over a century, but with a shortage of females among the werewolf population the males are getting worried they won't ever find their true mates. Meanwhile Decebel struggles with the emotions he is feeling towards Jen. He tries to keep his distance but there is just something about the mouthy blonde that keeps him coming back for more of her verbal abuse, which he just can't seem to get enough of . . . go figure.

Darkness has descended on the Transylvanian Alps. Four packs of the powerful Grey wolves-in a rare show of cooperation-had joined together here in an effort to help their pack members find true mates. Then they were betrayed by one of their own-an Alpha hell-bent on becoming the most powerful of the Canis lupis. And though the wolf's assassination attempt on the currently-reigning Romanian Alpha failed, his plans to get Decebel, the Romanian Beta, out of the picture were coming together even as his treachery was discovered. The wolf fled, leaving destruction, death, and a missing mate behind him. Unbeknownst to the other packs, the wolf has employed a witch to finish the deadly job and help him gain another tool to increase his power. A curse of devastating proportions will cripple Decebel in a way that may dissolve his fragile bond with Jennifer. Meanwhile, injured and alone, Jen has been fighting for her life. She had come to terms with her fate, accepting that she would not share a life with Decebel, until help came in the most unexpected form . . .Vasile will have to use all his resources-including Sally, the new gypsy healer of the Romanian pack-to discover a way in which to destroy the witch, lift the curse from Decebel and reunite him with the one woman who makes him whole, and solve a mystery that's been surrounding the Romanian pack for three hundred years.

Though the Serbian pack has been brought to heel thanks to the downfall of their Alpha, the war is far from over. Desdemona, a witch of unfathomable power, has escaped the wolves' wrath, but she will not go quietly into the night. She takes refuge in a place where even the smallest sliver of light does not dare to enter. Though she had to flee, she has not given up on the treasure she wishes to acquire. Her depravity knows no bounds; she's even willing to search for the one who can assist her in opening a Veil that has not been opened in millennia-with good reason: the danger is incalculable. Meanwhile, there are major changes rippling through the Romanian Grey wolves. Decebel has become Alpha to the Serbian pack in an effort to begin to unite the Canis lupis species. Their numbers are dwindling in the wake of the shortage of true mates and lack of offspring. The wolves are beginning to lose faith and darkness seems to be crashing in on them from all sides. But the winds of change are blowing, changes that will alter the future of not only the Canis lupis, but of another ancient race as well. Amidst all of this, Sally is continuing to come to terms with her relationship with the playful, charming, flirty, unbelievably handsome bartender-who happens to be a member of the Romanian pack. If all that weren't enough, the Fates have decided to pay a little visit to Jen. It's time to collect. She cheated the Fates of a life, her life. Now they want what they are due. The problem? It's more than Jen is willing to pay. Yes, the war is indeed far from over. Bargains will be struck, declarations will be made, sacrifices will be given, love will be tested, and trust will be questioned as evil makes its stand against them all.

The last few days have been the darkest of Sally's life. After experiencing the joy of finding her mate, she now suffers the pain of losing everything she holds dear. Both the Romanian and Serbian packs have been captured, ripping Sally's soul mate away from her almost as soon as she had found him. Her best friend and the emotional glue that usually holds Sally together, Jacque Pierce, lies writhing in a restless coma, having been put down by Desdemona's dark magic. Jennifer Adams, the unshakable one, has revealed to her friends and her mate that she is pregnant, but the Fates have marked her unborn baby for death. Though she rails against the darkness, deep inside Jen knows that Decebel's baby must die as payment for her own life, and the knowledge is tearing her soul to pieces. Cypher, King of the Warlocks, has claimed Jacque's mother as his mate and agreed to help Desdemona open a door that would release a horde of demons from beyond the Veil. Though her world is crashing down around her, Sally holds out hope. The Great Luna is not sitting idly by. She has commanded the Fey council to call upon the packs-all of them. And though Cypher looks for a way to open the Veil for Desdemona, he struggles to protect Lilly and the wolves at the same time. Peri, the ever-courageous High Fae, and a contingent of the remaining females of the Romanian and Serbian packs, push on through the rough Carpathian Mountains. Though they are bound to the human realm, they continue to search for a way to cross over to the land of the Fey. Meanwhile, in reluctant obedience to the Great Luna, the Fey council sends representatives to the far corners of the globe, meeting with the pack Alphas. The Fey must convince the Alphas of every pack to lay aside their petty territorial squabbles and battles of dominance. If they refuse, both the humans and the supernatural races will fall at Mona's feet.Sally holds to a shred of hope. Though Vasile, Decebel, and their pack mates endure the torture of the In-Between, living their worst nightmares over and over, Sally holds. Though she knows that it is only a matter of time before their wolves take over, she holds. Sally knows that if the males die, then so too will their mates who have performed the Blood Rites, including her best friends Jen and Jacque. Yet she holds. If the males lose themselves to their wolves and turn feral, so too do their mates. Still she holds. Though Vasile, the strongest Alpha in their history to unite the wolves, is lost beyond the Veil, Sally holds. Though Decebel, the only other wolf besides Vaile strong enough to unite the packs, suffers beyond the Veil, Sally will hold. No one is left to unite their race and defeat Desdemona. Yet Sally still holds. She holds out hope that the Great Luna will not abandon them, cannot abandon them. Throughout the centuries, the Great Luna has always provided a gypsy healer to the packs, especially in times of great need. Now Sally is that healer. Sally fears what role she has to play in the defeat of Desdemona, but she will play it. Though heaven and hell unite against her, she will play it.For too long the supernatural races have lived in separation, warring amongst themselves, allowing trivial power plays and selfish disputes to keep them from uniting. That separation has made them weak. Now, being summoned as a collective force to the same land, will they come? Will they come in numbers greater than have been seen in centuries? Will they destroy each other and save Mona the trouble, or will they finally unite and fight as one?

As one evil falls, another rises in its place. The powerful witch Desdemona has finally been killed by an alliance of wolf, elf, and fae. But Reyaz, brother to Cypher the warlock king, has vowed retribution for a life that was taken from him. Now Cypher must decide not only how to protect his newfound mate and his people, but also how to destroy the only family he has left.Meanwhile, Jen's pregnancy progresses and the fateful due date draws ever nearer. The thought of losing Decebel's child constantly threatens to overwhelm her. With each passing day, Decebel grows more distant, causing Jen to wonder what toll the impending loss of their child is taking on him. Unbeknownst to Jen, in an act of desperation to protect his unborn child and mate, Decebel strikes a deadly bargain with the Great Luna-his life in place of his child's. There is only one way for that to happen-the bond between Jen and Decebel must be broken.As Jen as Decebel struggle through their darkness, another kind of darkness is infiltrating Fane's heart. Doubts and questions linger as he tries to cope with the emotions brought on in the aftermath of Desdemona's curse. He knows what happened wasn't real, but still he can't rid himself of the terrible images seared into his memory. Jacque is his light, the one who keeps the darkness at bay, yet he won't let her inside to do just that.Sally continues to learn what it means to be a gypsy healer and Costin struggles to protect her as she runs full speed ahead to help her wolves, heedless of her own safety. She sees her best friends struggling, each enduring their own trials. She's desperate to help them, but can she keep them safe?With all of these things hanging heavy over the heads of the Serbia and Romania packs, their attention is divided. The wolves do not even realize that a threat has slowly infiltrated their midst. Will they recognize the threat in time to save the lives that precariously hang in the balance?Against this backdrop of darkness, choices will be made, fears will confronted, and the ultimate sacrifice will be made. Will the wolves stand together to defeat the threats arrayed against them, both from within and without? Will love conquer all? Or will the beleaguered wolves finally succumb to their demons?

I thought nothing could be eviler than Desdemona, or Reyaz, or any other villain we've faced down. I was wrong. I read all the books I could devour on the beauty of parenthood. I thought I was ready. But nothing could have prepared me for the hurricane of jacked-up emotional chaos otherwise known as post-partum hormones. And no one said the feelings would come with a machine that would try to eat my nipples. Seriously, those breast pumps should be banned. If that wasn't enough to make me lose what little sanity I was clinging to, let's throw into the mix my sadistic best friends getting the brilliant idea to kidnap my daughter for a while. But wait folks, that's not all. Trying to keep my mate from maiming my friends was hard enough. But then, Thia gets snatched out from underneath the noses of my besties and truly kidnapped. If there was an award for FUBAR first days of life, Thia would win hands down. Sorry, mini-me. I'll try and make it up to you. But no promises. Probably better to save up the money to pay for the counseling you're eventually going to need. That's practical parenting, right? Contains mature themes.

Duty, sacrifice, service, and discipline. These were the characteristics that described Cyn, the warrior fae. Though love was out of her reach, she thought this life was all she needed. She had never been more wrong. A chance meeting with the Prince of the Elves turns her carefully structured world upside down. Thalion is loyal to his people above all else. As the prince of the Elves, it is his duty to protect them. His loyalty has never been in question. But then, he's never met anyone like Cyn before. The destiny of both their races may hinge on whether an elf and a fae can overcome their differences and face an uncertain future together. Contains mature themes.

The most powerful Alpha in the history of the Romanian Grey Wolves has found the woman who becomeshis mate and helps him become the man he needs to be in order to lead. Every life leaves behind a legacy. The Alpha of the Romania Grey Wolves knows this better than most. His story began a century ago, and now a tragedy has led him to his rightful place as Alpha of the Eastern Romania pack. In order to be raised up he had to first be torn down, and there is only one who could do this and live-only one who could light his way when the darkness closed in: his mate, his Luna. This is the building of their legacy . . .

It's been six months since Jacque Lupei was imprisoned in the dark forest with her female pack mates, wondering if they would ever see their mates again. Six months since she and Fane found out that Jen and Decebel would not be the only couple adding a new pup to the pack. Six months of peace and quiet. Jacque doesn't know it, but the reprieve was about to be over. She and Fane thought his demons had been dealt with, but the nightmares are back and the In-Between is once again ripping a hole inside of her mate. Jacque can't stand to see him hurting. She can't stand knowing that in some way she was responsible for his struggle because she, after all, was the subject of his pain from the In-Between. She'll do anything to stop his turmoil. So she makes a desperate decision to do what she thinks her mate needs, or doesn't need. She knows that if Fane has any idea of what she has planned, he would chain her to his side. So, naturally she does what any female Canis lupus would do in her shoes-she shuts down the bond and prays that no one gets in her way. She knows he might never forgive her, but then, if her plan works, he won't even remember her name. Contains mature themes.

The Romanian and Serbian Canis lupus rest in an uneasy peace. One of their own, Sally Miklos, the young and powerful gypsy healer, aids Perizada in her quest to defeat Volcan, a long forgotten nightmare returned to our world. These two packs watch as their brothers across the world, wolves from Spain, Ireland, and America, join their own forces in the battle against the evil dark fae. At the same time, the packs hope against hope that their presence might reveal a mate bond between a pack member and one of the five recently discovered gypsy healers. While Jacque and Jen miss Sally, their longtime best friend, they have bided their time dealing with their own domestic issues. Jacque and Fane are anticipating the birth of their first child and Jen and Decebel face the challenges of caring for an infant. Both girls are eagerly awaiting Sally's return, and have Perizada's word that she will be back in time for the birth of Jacque's baby. Vasile and Alina, the Alpha pair of the Romanian pack, are enjoying this time of peace. But Vasile did not become the most powerful Alpha in centuries by being a fool. He has lived long enough to know that there is always another battle on the horizon.

Jacque's mind wandered as she hovered somewhere between life and death. Her body longed to let go, to sink into the peaceful abyss, to the place where she didn't have to worry about rabid, child-snatching vampires and the carnage they'd caused to so many innocent families. But something kept her here, tethered to this world. Something she couldn't quite remember hovered just on the edge of her consciousness, something vital. It wasn't Fane, he would be with her on the other side, she knew that. If she died, he died too and he wouldn't have it any other way. She could feel Peri's presence in her body. The fae was fighting, expending every ounce of her energy to keep her and Fane alive and the strain was taking its toll on the fae. But why? Why was the fae fighting as if her own life depended upon Jacque's survival? Jacque was starting to remember someone else-someone that depended on her. A brand new life, precious and perfect . . . her son. Costin's best friend lay as if sleeping, clinging to life by a mere thread, held at the other end by the powerful fae. But the thread holding Costin to his own sanity was just as feeble. Sally, his world, his light, his Brown-Eyes, the only thing that keeps the darkness at bay, was gone.

Filthy. Disgusting. Unworthy trash. The same thoughts keep swirling in Sally's mind. She's broken and no one can fix her-not her friends, and not her beautiful mate. She'd thought when Costin had rescued her from Jericho's clutches, broken the spell the rogue werewolf had cast on her, and left the cur lying in bloody pieces on the floor of an Ocean Side bar, that one day she might find some peace. Perhaps, with time, she could forget the horrible things she'd done. Perhaps she could forget how she had betrayed her one true mate. Several weeks later, the memories and the nightmares have only grown stronger. Unbeknownst to Sally, though the magical bracelet that erased her memories was destroyed, the magical device deposited something sinister within the girl's mind. Now, in a last ditch effort to find some sort of healing, Sally is being shipped off to her hometown-Coldspring, Texas. Little does she know that surprises are awaiting her there that will shake the foundations of all she's ever known. Will these new revelations be the key to eradicating the darkness that has taken root in the healer? Or will the secrets that are uncovered be too much for Sally to bear? Contains mature themes.

The Romanian Grey Wolves have been kicked, beaten, and stomped-assailed from every side. Yet, every time evil thinks it's gotten the upper hand, the wolves come roaring back to protect their own. No darkness can stand against them, especially when they fight united with their supernatural allies. But what happens when the darkness refuses to stand and fight? Instead, it flees, spreading across an entire continent, infecting the supernatural races as it goes. Will the wolves be able to stand against the hidden darkness, the Order of the Burning Claw, or will they crumble as it shakes them to their foundations? Sally, the group's gypsy healer, is home with her pack, seemingly recovered from the psychic assault against her mind. Unbeknownst to the pack and its leaders, however, something sinister has followed in her wake. Vasile and his wolves will need the help of Thalion, prince of the elves, if they are to find a way to fight the veiled evil threatening both human and supernatural alike. But Thalion has his own mysteries to unravel. His father, Ludcarab, the elven king, is discovered alive, after having been lost for centuries. And neither Thalion or Vasile could possibly guess that Ludcarab might be the key to solving the puzzle of the Burning Claw.

Supernatural war is on the horizon, and no one will escape unscathed. Enemy after enemy, foe after foe, has fallen before the combined might of the Romanian grey wolves and their allies among the supernatural races. But now the alliance doesn't fight a single supernatural threat. It's no longer a single coven of vampires, a lone deranged warlock, or a rogue pack that threatens their safety. Now, the wolves face a unified force of evil-the Order of the Burning Claw. The Order needs a representative from every supernatural race to unleash a spell that will enslave humanity forever, and they've just recruited one of their most powerful members. The Order will stop at nothing to gain power, including kidnapping the pack's children and its beleaguered healer. The Romanian pack would love nothing more than to bring the wrath of the Great Luna down upon their foes. But how can they do that when their enemies hold captive the pack's greatest treasures. Before this is over, bonds will be tested, a new leader will rise, and all hell will break loose. Contains mature themes.

Peace has come amid the storm. But the cost by which that peace was earned was great-the lives of the Romanian pack alphas, and Cypher, king of the warlocks. Lilly Pierce, the surviving widow of the warlock king, must now take his place as the leader of the warlock race. Unfortunately, she's in no condition to do it. Her heart has been shattered. Lilly has found love twice in her life, and both times, it's been ripped away. Now, to keep her throne, Lilly will have to prove she's worthy of it, or risk losing more than just her title. Murderer. Traitor. Outlaw. These are just a few of the words that describe Myanin, the disgraced djinn warrior. And for a time, those words didn't bother her. But as the djinn becomes more acquainted with the inner workings of the Order of the Burning Claw, she begins to understand how truly evil her fellow supernaturals can be. Is that really the person she wants to be? Is that the life she wants to lead? Two women, both suffering loss, both languishing in their misery, both faced with impossible choices. Is it possible the queen and the djinn could find salvation in one another? Contains mature themes.

The Romania Grey Wolves have been through hell and back. A month remains of the mourning period decreed by the Great Luna, and Jen has decided it's time for the pack to celebrate the blessings they've missed over the years because of all the battles they've faced. There's a little crazy, a lot of funny, and the loyal love of the pack as they deal with all the chaos that comes with the holidays. Up on the rooftop werewolves hide, Jen's to-do list is miles wide. All through the years, so much they've missed. "Let's celebrate them all!" Jen insists. Ho, ho, ho! All better go! Ho, ho, ho! Don't be slow! Up on the rooftop click, click, click. The claws are out on the crazy wolf chick. First comes the stocking of little Slate, watch out Santa you might get ate. Thia needs some soap and her mouth washed out. Oh jingle hell, is her favorite shout. Ho, ho, ho! Titus says to go! Ho, ho, ho! He's a hunting pro! Down through the halls, sneak, sneak, sneak. All around the corners so, Aunt Jen will freak. Up in the night sky, the moon shines down. The Great Luna's love is all around. Her wolves have learned what they never lack. Hope, grace, and lots of love for the pack. Contains mature themes.

The period of mourning for the great alphas, Vasile and Alina, is over. But some refuse to move on. The high fae, Perizada, vows never to experience the loss of her friends-her family-again. The only way to do this is to take on the Order of the Burning Claw, but her mate would never allow it. So, she does the only thing she can, severing all ties with her allies. Peri's decision could destroy her enemies, but it could also destroy everything she holds dear. The end of mourning marks the beginning of challenges to the new alpha of alphas, Fane Lupei. Rogue wolves who desire to rule in his stead attempt to stake their claims. Though Fane abides by pack law when facing his opponents, others aren't so honorable. Fane realizes the threats he faces aren't just against him, but his entire pack. Skender and the fae, Tenia, fight against the mate bond drawing them closer. They both know they cannot be together, but the bond is more powerful than either expected. Skender has promised to keep Tenia's son safe-a promise he's willing to die to keep. Skender soon finds out there's more to the boy than meets the eye, and keeping him safe could be the key to saving them all. Contains mature themes.

Perizada, high fae, ambassador, mate, and friend to those in the Romanian pack, has lost her way. Everything about the fae is in question: her loyalty, her love, even her very existence. Still, her friends refuse to give up hope. The Order's compound has been brought to the ground, reduced to ash, but can Perizada's attack even be considered a victory given the sacrifice made to achieve it? What of the innocents trapped within the compound's walls? Were any of those lives spared? Even with all they have faced, the challenges, the loss, and pain, Fane, Jacque, their pack, and allies remain steadfast in their fight against evil. Past experiences give them hope that not all is as it seems. Perhaps there are hearts that still beat where others perished. And always with them is their Creator, the Great Luna, an ever present help in trouble. She offers light when there is only darkness, love when the heart is broken, and forgiveness when transgressions overwhelm them. Their battle is far from over, but there is no victory without sacrifice. There is no light without darkness. There is no joy without sorrow. There are no miracles without faith. Contains mature themes.

"Because I created you for such a time as this." The Great Luna's words ring true for every member of the Romanian pack. Not only the wolves, but for all those who stand in defense of virtue, purity, and righteousness in a world plagued with monsters hell-bent on destroying every good in their path. The Great Luna's warriors have faced depraved adversaries, and each time they've risen to the challenge. With Fane as their leader, and members of every supernatural race willing to follow him, they will once again stand in the gap for those who cannot stand themselves, protecting those who are ignorant of the dangers all around them. The Order of the Burning Claw has been dealt a near-fatal blow. But this has only made them more dangerous. Alston, the former high fae and leader of the Order, continues to wage war on Fane and his allies. Cain, the vampire king, has other plans. He has discovered some powerful new allies, the very humans he once attempted to subjugate. Could they unwittingly be the key that allows him to put finally eliminate all competition for rule of the supernatural races? One king will stand victorious. The rest will bow . . . or die. Contains mature themes.

So many impossibly powerful foes have opposed the wolves and their allies over the years. Evil witches, warlocks, fae, elves, and alphas, just to name a few. And all have found the pack too strong to break. But the foe hellbent on taking down the pack now-the vampire king, Cain-has a plan that might finally tip the balance of power away from the wolves. In the middle of the desert, Cain works desperately to find a way to mix the blood of wolves and vampires. While most find the idea reprehensible, Cain believes it is the key to his victory. He imagines an army of unstoppable hybrids with the combined power of the vampires and the Canis lupus. Such a force would be unstoppable, even for the powerful of alpha of alphas, Fane Lupei. And Cain just might have found the secret ingredient necessary to bring his plans to fruition. Contains mature themes.

Loss. Pain. Betrayal. Many mate bonds would not have survived. And Dillon and Tanya Jacobs's bond barely did. Dillon's choices almost destroyed their relationship before it ever began. Would Dillon change those choices? He couldn't. Because they led to his daughter, Jacque, who was to become mate to the strongest alpha to ever live. But the trials that grew from Dillon's choices won't be easily passed. To make it through the trials to come, Dillon and Tanya will need each other. Every betrayal will require an equal measure of forgiveness. All the pain will require perseverance. Every loss will be met with redemption. Will Tanya and Dillon come out stronger on the other side? Or will Dillon's mistakes haunt him forever? Amidst the pain of separating from Jacque's mother and the discovery of his true mate, Dillon will face a challenge he never expected. A challenge that could thrust him into the leadership of his own pack, or end him forever. Contains mature themes.

When her powerful father coerces her to take a job at a secret government facility, geneticist Alice Douglas is forced into assisting Cain, the vampire king, in creating a race of super-soldiers-werewolf vampire hybrids, which has already claimed many lives. When Cain realizes that Alice is actually one of the coveted gypsy healers-something she didn't know herself-he suspects her blood might be the key to bringing his plan to fruition. There's only one problem-a bond is forming between the pair. Before Alice can fully grasp her new supernatural reality, she is brutally attacked. Desperate to save her life, Cain turns Alice into a hybrid by giving her his blood. But her soul, one of pure goodness, cannot abide Cain's blood within her. Now it is fighting against itself, threatening to kill her if it cannot be stopped. Enter Perizada of the fae, the one charged with keeping all gypsy healers safe. Peri soon finds out that the key to saving Alice is her true mate, Maxim-a rogue werewolf on the other side of the world. Maxim will do anything to find and rescue his mate, but it won't be easy, especially since she's developed complicated feelings for her captor. Together, new allies must find a way to break Cain's blood-bond over Alice and prevent him from unleashing a force of abominations so powerful that no army could stand against them. Contains mature themes.

The vampire king's army of vampire/werewolf hybrids is spreading across America, slaughtering everything in its path. Aided by Celise, a sprite driven mad by despair and armed with a book that grants unimaginable power, Cain's hybrids can strike anywhere and at any time. But the hybrids aren't the sprite's most powerful weapon. That distinction belongs to an innocent pack member, drawn into a web of betrayal by Celise's wicked lies. Already pressed on all sides, the wolves' allied forces must race to uncover a deadly secret being kept by one of their own. If they fail, even their combined strength won't be enough to stop the evil forces hellbent on nothing less but a complete annihilation of humankind. The hour of reckoning has arrived, and even the deepest love may not be enough to heal the wounds that come from within. The fate of the grey wolves hinges on their willingness to fight, forgive, and make unfathomable sacrifices. Contains mature themes.

Darkness has descended on the Transylvanian Alps. The Grey Wolves series continues as the pack recovers from betrayal by one of their own-an Alpha hell-bent on becoming the most powerful Canis lupis on earth. And though the wolf's assassination attempt on Vasile, the leader of the Romanian greys, failed, he's left destruction, death, and a missing mate behind him. The rogue Alpha fled, but he's left a surprise for the Romanian pack-a witch intent on destroying the Romanian grey wolves. A devastating curse threatens to cripple Decebel and could dissolve his fragile bond with his mate, Jennifer. Meanwhile, injured and alone, Jen has been fighting for her life. She has come to terms with her fate, accepting she will not share a life with Decebel, until help comes in the most unexpected form . . . but will it be in time? The Romanian pack will have to use all its resources-including Sally, the pack's new gypsy healer-to find a way to destroy the witch, lift the curse, and solve a mystery that's surrounded the wolves for 300 years. Contains mature themes.
