This story collection is based on keys - the key to a house, the key to a heart, the key to a secret - that not only unlock elements of characters’ lives, they promise further labyrinths on the other side. In “Books and Roses” a special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two lovers’ fates. In “Is Your Blood as Red as This?” an key opens the heart of a puppeteering student. “‘Sorry’ Doesn’t Sweeten Her Tea” involves a 'house of locks,' where doors can be closed only with a key—with surprising, unobservable developments.
Once, Gary was a gentle and very human researcher. Now he’s a fearless and lethal Carpathian warrior with the blood of an ancient lineage running through his veins—a man Gabrielle still needs and dreams of with every breath she takes. She has had enough of battles, of seeing Gary nearly lose his life. All she wants is a life far away from the Carpathian mountains, far from vampires and the shadows cast by the crumbling monastery that hides so many terrible secrets. But Gabrielle soon learns that promises made in the dark can pierce the heart like a dagger.
Since the Others allied themselves with the cassandra sangue, the human blood prophets who were being exploited by their own kind, the delicate dynamic between humans and Others changed. Some, like the shifter Simon Wolfgard and blood prophet Meg Corbyn, see this as beneficial—both personally and practically. But not everyone is convinced. A group of radical humans want to usurp land via a series of violent attacks on the Others. What they don’t realize is that there are old and dangerous forces protecting Others land — forces willing to do whatever is necessary to protect what is theirs.

With her best friend’s life, the future of the Kala-Skotadi war, and her own soul at stake, failure is not an option. Allies unite on a quest against the demigods and Kris’s half-sister, Circe. They fight to sever Kris and Alec from their evil ties once and for all, and rescue Callie from her own doomed fate. But Circe has other plans.
The battle against the emerald priestess turned the peace at Brighton Manor into ashes. Lea and Aerden are prisoners in the King's City. Jackson is out of his mind with grief and anger. And Harper--the one who once united them all--is gone. Before they can regain their freedom and find their way back to one another, they will each have to face their past and fight to claim a better future. But for one of them, it may already be too late.
Cier'Djaal, once the crowning glory of the civilized world, in now a battlefield and graveyard. Armies clash on streets laden with the bodies of innocents caught in the crossfire. Cultists and thieves wage shadow wars, tribal armies foment outside the city's walls, and haughty aristocrats watch the world burn from on high. As his companions struggle to keep the city from destroying itself, Lenk travels in search of the demon who caused it all. But even as he pursues Khoth-Kapira, dark whispers plague his thoughts. Khoth-Kapira promises him a world free of war, where Lenk can put down his sword at last. It is hard not to listen. When gods are deaf, demons will speak.
