Hidden Saga

He isn't supposed to even talk to a human, much less fall in love with one... Sixteen-year-old Ryann Carroll has just run into the guy who saved her life 10 years ago. You might think she'd be happy to see him again. Not exactly. She's a bit underdressed (as in skinny-dipping) and he's not supposed to exist. After her father's affair, all Ryann wants is to escape the family implosion fallout and find a little peace. She also wouldn't mind a first date that didn't suck, but she's determined not to end up like her mom: vulnerable, betrayed, destroyed. Ryann's recently moved back to her childhood home in rural Mississippi, the same place where 10 years earlier she became lost in the woods overnight and nearly died. She's still irresistibly drawn to those woods. There she encounters the boy who kept her from freezing to death that long ago winter night and was nowhere to be seen when rescuers arrived. He's still mysterious, but now all grown-up and gorgeous, too. And the more she's with him, the greater the threat he poses to Ryann's strict policy - never want someone more than he wants you. Seventeen-year-old Lad knows the law of his people all too well: Don't get careless and don't get caught. It's allowed his race to live undetected in this world for thousands of years, mentioned only in flawed and fading folklore...Lad's never been able to forget about Ryann since that night 10 years ago. When he sees her again, his fascination re-ignites and becomes a growing desire that tempts him to break all the rules. He's not even supposed to talk to a human, much less fall in love with one. And the timing is atrocious. The Assemblage is coming, the rift between the Light and Dark is widening, and mysterious celebrity fan pods are becoming more and more widespread and influential. Lad may have to trade his own chance at happiness to keep the humans, especially Ryann, blissfully unaware and safe.

Seventeen-year-old Ryann Carroll thought she knew who she was - a small-town Southern girl just trying to survive her parents' messy divorce and find some peace for herself. She thought she knew what she wanted - a summer job, a car, a first date that didn't suck, and no complications from a serious relationship. Any guy in her life would simply be icing on the cake. But now, she's not only in love, but her boyfriend, Lad, is a member of an ancient race that's lived secretly among humans for thousands of years, mentioned only in flawed and fading folklore. Things could hardly get more complicated than that. More importantly, she's learned the world's top celebrities - those actors, musicians, athletes, and politicians who seem a little too beautiful and talented to be true - actually are not human, and they're using their glamour and the increasing popularity of fan pods to control more and more humans. But why? With her best friend, Emmy, leaving soon to join the fan pod of a famous actor, Ryann has to find out the answer. And she can't do it alone. But after a shocking murder, Lad can no longer fight his destiny or his duty, and Ryann's not sure whether his top priority is their relationship or his people. In this second book of the Hidden Saga, true friendship will take Ryann from rural Mississippi to the glittering city of Los Angeles. And true love will take her to places she never expected to go...

Book 3 of the epic series that's earned more than 3,000 worldwide five-star reviews and has sold thousands of copies! Give in to glamour and continue the thrilling and deeply romantic journey into the Hidden world that readers are calling "addictive", "riveting", "magical", and "captivating from the first chapter." Ryann is torn between two kings - two brothers. Lad, the king of the Light Court, is her first love. Nox, the new king of the Dark Court, came through when she needed him most and won her heart. But Lad has revealed a secret to Ryann that devastates her and tears at her loyalties. And though Nox and Lad are fierce rivals for the girl they both love, an even bigger problem threatens them all. The unsuspecting human population of the world hangs in the balance with an approaching war between Dark and Light. Powerful fan pods have transformed the face of the country. The Dark Council's plan is almost accomplished, and the Dark Court is nearly ready to reveal itself and take back control of the world, as it was in the old days, before the history books were written. Ryann can't believe the Nox she knows and loves would allow that to happen, though he is now deeply entrenched in the Dark Court and seems to be changing by the day. Is his love for Ryann strong enough to give him the strength to stand against his people and their plot? Or should she side with Lad and the Light Court, who who appear to have the welfare of humans in mind? Lad is fighting the looming danger as hard as he can, fully involved now in the world of Elven politics he tried so hard to avoid. And what can Ryann - only a partial Fae - personally do? She'll have to learn to balance her own Dark and Light sides - and somehow make the right choice between two tempting Fae guys - or face the consequences of a wrong decision eternally and watch her family and the entire human world fall under the oppression of the Dark Court.

The darkness is coming... Ryann and Lad are together and in love but not yet bonded. Wedding plans are underway, but they cannot marry until the mourning period for his father, the murdered king, ends. Waiting is sweet torture and gets harder all the time. Nox and Vancia are touring the world with his band, The Hidden, and enjoying their honeymoon. They're also working to convince the holdout tribes in Europe, Asia, and Australia to disband their fan pods and sign the new peace treaty between the Dark and Light Courts. It's the only way to ensure the safety of humans worldwide. But unbeknownst to any of them, dark forces are still at work. There are some who don't support the treaty - or their new king. And they'll do anything necessary to restore Elven reign over humanity. When an ambassador from the Dark Court arrives in Altum, Lad expects relations between the formerly antagonistic clans to improve. What he didn't expect is her unique glamour - or her traveling companion. And Ryann's own glamour gift is warning her...if they can't uncover the hidden truth in time, the much-anticipated royal wedding may never happen. As the Hidden Saga continues, friendships will be formed and broken, the bonds of love tested, and beautiful and dangerous new glamours revealed.

The danger is everywhere... The dark council has struck a shocking and powerful blow against the light court and its human allies, defying their own king, Nox, and seeking to re-establish dark Elven influence and domination over the human world. While Ryann and Lad work to restore production of Magnolia sugar tea, Ava is forced to return to the dark court to face Audun, the cruel and powerful head of the dark council, and learn the consequences for disobeying his orders. With no other choice, she sets off on a road trip with her former fiancé Culley, whom she does not like and definitely doesn't trust, and leaves behind Asher, the intriguing and much too tempting human boy she met in deep river. Along the way she'll discover what Culley's mission in Altum was, and the disastrous effect it will have on the human race. But there's more than meets the eye when it comes to this mysterious dark Elven guy with his alluring and deceptive glamour, and Ava will find herself torn between two possible futures as she sets her own course through the Hidden world.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... Culley Rune is the perfect guy - as far as anyone can see. Inside, he knows he's unlovable, unworthy, unwanted. He's done terrible things in service to his father, the corrupt leader of the Dark Council - including playing a pivotal role in the mysterious new drug epidemic that's sweeping the human population of the world. Now that Culley''s lost his one chance at a real relationship, there's no reason to change his ways. He might as well take his place at his mercenary father's side. But when he runs into a strange human girl in the worst possible place at the worst possible time, he can't seem to stop himself from getting involved, and he may have found the one person on earth who can see past his beautiful facade to the heavily-guarded heart that lies beneath. In this sixth book of the Hidden Saga, as the battle between the Dark and Light courts rages on, the fate of the human race may lie in Culley's hands, and the fate of his heart may rest with the last girl he'd ever have expected to breach his defenses.
