Harley Merlin

A dark past. A hidden power. A dangerous enemy. Harley Merlin has a lot of unanswered questions in her life. What drove her father to kill her mother? How can she know the true extent of her magical abilities? Has Wade Crowley always been this annoying? After the violent gargoyle incident that left many dead, Harley fears what other evil tricks her psychotic aunt has up her sleeve. When she discovers that magical foster kids like herself are in danger, she knows she must do whatever it takes to protect them. And it turns out that Tatyana, the Coven's resident ghost-whisperer, is also willing to make sacrifices and has secrets of her own…

How does one become an all-powerful Child of Chaos? That's what Harley desperately needs to find out before her unhinged aunt raises the death toll. All she knows for sure is that magical kids are missing, and they somehow fit into Katherine Shipton's grand scheme. Now that Harley is an official member of the San Diego Coven, she feels more responsible than ever for its protection-and that of the magical world. But she's got a whole lot more on her plate than that. There's a traitor lurking within the Coven. She still yearns to know the secrets contained within her parents' Grimoire. And there's also the fact that she might actually have feelings for a certain stubborn, green-eyed dude… All the while, Santana faces her own demons, with a magical Purge building within her and a crush on a boy with a dark side, one that might just lead them to real answers.

Five rituals to control Chaos. That's all it takes. Now that Harley knows her enemy's grand plan-to become a godlike Child of Chaos and punish those deemed "unworthy"-she's got to figure out what the heck to do about it. Many of the missing magicals are still out there, and Katherine has vowed to kill everyone Harley cares about and make her watch. So that's fun. Just when it seems like things can't get much worse, one of the most precious monsters of the Bestiary escapes, and Harley is sure that Katherine has her dirty hands involved. But that crazy witch had better be ready because Harley has finally figured out a way to unleash her powers-although the cost might not be worth it. Astrid, a human living amongst magicals, is just as determined to thwart Katherine's schemes. At the same time, her budding romance with the Coven's trademark bad boy has earned her father's disapproval, and it seems like betrayal is lurking around the corner…

Magic always comes at a price. Harley is a ticking time bomb, ready to detonate with uncontrollable magic. The only solution? Find the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, make some risky deals, and balance the Light and Darkness within her-before she's torn apart, atom by atom. If only she didn't have a million other problems standing in her way. The new Director of the San Diego Coven isn't exactly friendly, and Katherine has already gained untold power. More than ever, Harley needs answers about the rituals Katherine plans to perform to become like Eris, goddess of discord and destruction. Wade knows that Harley is strong enough to win this battle-not to mention stubborn, overconfident, and wildly reckless. True to his proud family lineage, he's always played by the rules. But for one girl, he's willing to bend those rules, to lie, to give his life. Because love can make a person do crazy things…

Consume the Spirit of Thine Greatest Enemy, in the Land of Erebus, on All Hallows' Eve… Harley has a game plan to stop the third ritual: infiltrate the Cult of Eris and steal back her mother's soul. But her only way in is through her devious half-brother Finch-the same guy who was Katherine's most devoted bootlicker not too long ago. Joining a cult counts as sibling bonding time, right? Left with no choice but to break Finch out of prison, Harley must play the part of a loyal cultist. Within Katherine's inner circle, deadly initiation trials and watchful enemies make every moment a battle for survival. Harley hasn't forgotten that Finch once belonged to the cult himself, and she wonders if she'll end up with a valuable new ally… or a knife in the back.

Without magic, Harley knows the odds of defeating Katherine are stacked against them. Yet a sliver of hope survives in the pages of her parents' Grimoire. The final, mind-boggling spell entails making a deal with a Child of Chaos. But what must be offered in return? Finch wants to be the one who ends Katherine. Mother Dearest brought him into the world, and he wants to take her out. He will give anything for that chance-even his life. Meanwhile, Katherine needs Harley's body, or her carefully crafted façade will crumble. And she can't let that happen, not when she's so close to becoming a goddess walking the Earth. Unbeknownst to them all, Chaos still has surprises in store-ones that not even Eris herself could predict-in a showdown of epic proportions.

What's a guy gotta do to appease an evil god? It's been a year since Katherine tried to take over the world, and Finch Merlin is itching to do something other than odd jobs for Erebus, God of Darkness. Erebus promises he'll free Finch of his servitude after he completes one final task-finding the Fountain of Youth. Finch has no idea why Erebus wants eternal youth, since the guy is already an immortal being. All the secrecy makes Finch uneasy, but he has no choice but to obey. He knows he'll get by with a little help from his friends, namely his old pal Garrett, who's still dealing with the whole "being resurrected" thing. There's also Ryann, Harley's foster sister, now a regular at the San Diego Coven. Whenever she's around, Finch feels butterflies in his stomach. Or maybe it's just a bad case of indigestion. Together, they'll infiltrate the flashy world of the magical elite in search of a rare artifact, one that will help them capture a poltergeist-the angry ghost of famed adventurer Ponce de León. Finch's adventures have only just begun, with plenty of old and new friends… and foes.

Magical mapmaking is an ancient art-and also a major pain. At least, Finch can't help but feel that way, since Erebus transported him to the Mapmakers' Monastery with little to no instructions. Now, he's stranded on some Greek island until he can learn how to draw maps to places he thought only existed in legends, like El Dorado and Shangri-La. Only the worthiest of magicals can attain such a rare skill. The weak are weeded out through nearly impossible tests that involve mind-bending poisons, weird plants, and… pottery-making? But Finch isn't the only one looking to learn the art of mapmaking. Magicals from all over the world are drawn to the Monastery. As Finch encounters both greedy treasure hunters and knowledge-hungry explorers, he must decide who is trustworthy and who has more sinister intentions. When Erebus knocks on her door, Kenzie is roped into delivering secret messages to Finch using her ability to Morph into the bodies of animals. In exchange, the God of Darkness will reveal what she wants most: to find the lowlife who cursed her mother. Both Finch and Kenzie know they're pawns in Erebus's long game-but to what end?

The lost city lies beyond a locked gateway. But the key is not what it seems… Now a map-maker extraordinaire, Finch must find the place Erebus so desperately seeks-although the "how" and "why" remain unclear. And a certain vengeful Necromancer is bent on beating Erebus to the punch, and he'd be more than happy to make Finch collateral damage. With his friends' lives on the line, Finch will fall back on his old trickster ways to get his hands on the gateway's key. In secret, he plans to uncover a loophole, a way to end his servitude for good. The answer might lie in Erebus's past servants and their storied history with the djinn... The djinn have lost their connection to Erebus, and Raffe doesn't know how much longer he can cope before his alter ego goes insane. That's the only reason he agrees to travel halfway across the world to find answers for Finch. Raffe aches to end the djinn curse that threatens his future with Santana, but he'd have to achieve the impossible: separate himself from the demon within.

Few have found this fabled city. One final ingredient. With a mapped location and vials of Sanguine blood, Finch needs one last component to unlock the gateway to the lost city. If only that didn't mean returning to the place he despises most-Eris Island. After learning his chances of escaping servitude are next to nil, Finch vows to find another out. And his only shot means chasing after his greatest enemy. Plus, a certain Goddess of Light won't stop sticking her nose into his business… Ryann realizes that Erebus sees her as collateral for coercing Finch-but, oh, how he underestimates her. She's helped Finch before, and she'll do everything in her human power to make sure he survives this mission. At the same time, she can't continue keeping secrets from Adam. He's the perfect boyfriend, but Finch… he's the one who makes her feel most alive.

Finch is in deep, with no surface in sight. He hadn't expected a welcoming party when they whirlpooled into Atlantis-although "welcoming" isn't exactly the right word. More like "mildly hostile." As descendants of the powerful Primus Anglicus, the Atlanteans are not to be trifled with. But Erebus isn't leaving until he gets what he wants-and neither is Davin. Caught in the midst of a political battle royale, Finch can only ride out the waves. And he knows he'll be lucky to escape this underwater prison without leaving anyone behind. For Melody, being trapped in an ancient, unfamiliar city is a dream come true. She hungers to fill the gaps in her knowledge, and Atlantis is a delicious buffet, from love potions and Death Day celebrations to beautiful and dangerous creatures. Navigating this new world isn't so scary with her trusty bodyguard by her side, though she must protect her own heart. History has shown that the Librarian isn't supposed to fall in love… but what if it's already too late?

No more Mr. Nice Guy… Finch is tired of people jerking him around-and now, it's time for payback against the powerful forces who have made him a pawn in their games. Returning to the surface world is his endgame, but while that seems nearly impossible, especially when a certain Necromancer and demigod have teamed up to take Finch out of the running, Finch plans to use all the tricks up his sleeve on his enemies. And before he's force-fed the love potion that will ensure he loves Princess Kaya forever. Good thing Shapeshifters are known for their trickery.

Finch has never been more in love In Atlantis, he's finally happy. Sure, it will take his friends time to adjust, but what does that matter now that he has all he's ever wanted? He will do everything in his power to make sure the girl of his dreams can carry out her plans to bring her great city to even greater heights. Nash never wanted to be tied up in this Atlantis mess, but thanks to his rare Sanguine abilities, he has no choice but to see this mission to its bitter end. With more people wanting his blood than ever, he's forced to go back to the basics: surviving and keeping Huntress safe. If only there were a way to become the hunter instead of the hunted...

An invisible city rises from the depths, led by a new savior… Prepare to expect the unexpected.
