The apocalypse began on Bring Your Dog to Work Day. One moment, everything was normal. Then the World Core woke up, and slaughtered almost everything alive so it could harvest their Chi. After that, it rebuilt everything and put the survivors in a game-like environment, pitting them against monsters and each other. The rules are different now. Chi power is as important as being able to fight. I'm one of the survivors. With my knowledge of martial arts and my special Chi skill, I'm turning myself into a force to be reckoned with.

He's forbidden, off-limits, yet I'm irresistibly drawn to him. Niall Fitzpatrick, my brother's best friend, has always been there, from childhood on the streets. I never saw him as anything more than a loyal friend until one fateful night. In a haze of alcohol and desire, we crossed a line that should've remained untouched. Since then, everything has changed. Our insatiable need for each other knows no bounds.

Dead or Alive? Not a hard question, and pretty easy to figure out either way. Usually. Except I've somehow woken up in a place called Hell, and I'm not entirely sure I died first. I thought it was a practical joke. Until a warrior woman tried to kill me, and I rescued an elf and a succubus from slavers. Turns out, this Hell is being terrorized by an evil king, and he’s hell-bent on bringing all of Hell under his dominion. He also happens to control the portal back to our world, which I very much want to use.

I killed a monster, and now I have magic. But then I died, too. I figured that was the end, but a mysterious group of strangers brought me back to life. Now, everything is different. I'm at the Arcane Academy for the Gifted, a school of magic where the women vastly outnumber the men. My days are for mastering my newfound power, and my nights—well, they are for "studying". Unfortunately, someone is sending monsters my way. I have to figure out who it is before they kill me. Because that resurrection thing was a onetime deal.

Eighteen-year-old Loren Connors is just another angst-ridden teen with a world of problems to hide. Bill McGoven is the strange police officer who seems to be watching her every step. Loren doesn’t know that Bill—the reclusive owner of the one place she sees as a safe haven—is a werewolf. One who’s had his eye on her for longer than she can remember…and one whose past and present are bound to hers in a way she can’t even imagine. When one tragic night brings him from the sidelines of her life and into her orbit, there is no turning back.

My mother kept me hidden my entire life, never hinting at the vicious crime family I was born into. Or the dangerous men who were out for my head. So when I finally step into the pageant stage’s bright spotlight, he’s there waiting for me.

Police officer Bill McGoven is a wolf shifter with an alpha dominance he can’t seem to quench, and he has watched over Loren Connors from afar. But when trouble finds her, he’s forced to step into her life and do the unthinkable — which will bond them in ways she never imagined…

The first stage is done, but the World Core hasn’t finished with us yet. Now, the trials are about to begin, and time is ticking. Between the carnivorous plants and the mutated competitors, my whole team needs to collect as much Chi as possible if we hope to survive. Leveling up is the name of the game. Growing more powerful to compete with the monsters standing in our way. That’s where my special Chi skill comes into play. It gives us an advantage that others can’t match. And the distinct side effect that comes with it? Well, there has to be some benefit to the new rules.

Dead or alive? Not a hard question, and pretty easy to figure out either way. Usually. Except I've somehow woken up in a place called Hell, and I'm not entirely sure I died first. I thought it was a practical joke. Until a warrior woman tried to kill me and I rescued an elf and a succubus from slavers. Then I started to realize something strange was going on. I didn't know the half of it.

There’s a powerful darkness growing inside me. I can feel it, igniting my blood with a lust for death. It gets stronger each time I use my magic and much, much harder to control. And yet, I don’t have a choice. Destiny is calling. What shape it will take, I don’t yet know, but my very blood yearns to answer that call.

That’s the rule when traveling through Hell. It may sound exciting to ride through Hell to save one of your lovers, but in reality it’s full of blood and magic, orcs and Hellhounds, secrets and revelations. The Wraith King’s minions will do anything to capture or kill me. But I’ve got a plan to strike back.

At first, I didn’t understand what Nikolai woke in me when he used my body for his revenge plot. But now? Now, I have plans of my own. He may think I’m his rose to claim, to dominate, control, but I am a rose steeped in war and born from bloodshed.

With the help of the man who turned her life on its head, Loren must learn to navigate the new world she’s been thrust into—all while discovering the secrets of her parentage and the ways of a lycan. When the undeniable bond between herself and her reclusive savior reaches a tipping point, there can be no turning back. She must either embrace her newfound primal heritage and all that comes with it, or shun her true nature—and Bill—forever.

The first of the trials was just the beginning. The next ones are just as dangerous, but they come with an opportunity as well. They’re all about leveling up, more than I ever thought possible. If I can help my women (and my monster dog) make it through, we'll unlock the keys to infinite Chi.

I have no idea where I am. Kidnapped. Beaten. Left for dead. When I finally wake up, I come face to face with them. They’re so different - and yet so much alike. They remind me that trust can be earned and that kindness can heal you. They each have their own demons, but it doesn’t change how much I want them. And together, maybe three broken souls...can share one healed love.

I’ve weathered the storms. Now, it’s my time to bloom. I came too close to losing Nikolai, and it almost destroyed me. I’m not sure why, but it’s getting harder to hate him every day. Something is blossoming between us—something more than lust—and it scares me. It’s more powerful, more magnetic than I can explain, and that makes it dangerous.

I’m getting stronger, but so is the darkness within me. Will I be able to control it? Or will it control me? It is my destiny to find out, and all of Hell hangs in the balance. That destiny is no longer calling. It is here.

As blackened and hard as it may be, she stole it, owns it. Somehow, through it all, she made me feel a little less ruthless. A little less like a monster. That’s just how Rose is. She’s my weakness—she always has been—and soon, I’ll be able to call her my wife. Mrs. Wilder. Then, she’ll be mine in every sense of the word. But when an old enemy tries to rip my family and my empire apart, the wedding plans have to be put on hold. I refuse to let anyone take away the happiness I’ve worked so hard to find.
