Carriwitchet is a violent, rugby-esque game played atop winged beasts. It was once Taissa Cho s whole life. She was considered her country s most promising player until her nemesis, rival player Kion Locke, destroyed her career. She was expelled from the sport in disgrace.
No team would take her. And Taissa has spent the last two years thinking of nothing but revenge.
Until a chance to redeem herself and career presents itself, offered by the very man who ruined everything in the first place. A spot on his team, the Stymphs. The catch? To garner publicity and keep Taissa as the team s secret weapon, she and Kion are forced into a fake relationship.
But Taissa and Kion only have two things in common: their love of the game and their undying hatred of each other. Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the league, they are forced to work together to save their team.
With sabotage afoot, Taissa and Kion find themselves prepared for anything... except the fact that their fake-for-the-cameras relationship may be something real after all.

Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion's greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children's books and recruiting posters - but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.
Centuries later, Owen Mallory - failed soldier, struggling scholar - falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting.
Her story takes him to war, to the archives, and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way.

He knows precisely what she is, and he believes she is a lost Siren heiress who can save both their kingdoms from an even greater monster.
But Imogen's magic threatens to violently reveal itself, and the two form a blood bond that protects them both. They flee the kingdom together, traversing waters teeming with the undead. As the lines between duty to their people and desire for each other begin to blur, Imogen worries her own ancestral powers may not be enough to kill what hunts her-the only way to defeat a monster may be to become one herself.
