THE CHRISTMAS DRAGON
All Katie Lin wants is to get away from the magic and mayhem of family. Unfortunately, a baby dragon could force her into the path of a dragon war, the Crow King, and at least one reluctant elf prince.

What would you do for a glimpse of the future? Terrance, Liza, and Salome would do a lot. But family drama is never that simple. Especially when the family is vampires.

Expected
Visions pushed him, bled out his eyes, and the only cure for augural blindness was to splatter it out in colors, shapes, forms.

Every Good Servant
Years ago, Seishirou chose to disobey for the sake of sake of love. Today, the bill comes due… but that’s not the end of his story.

the Last Lullaby
Joshua Run is safe now, taken from Ravena, thanks to Notte—but saying goodbye to his former life is far, far harder than saying goodbye to his humanity.
