How many half-truths could loyalty shoulder before it broke from the weight of deception on its back? Strange things can be said of the forest that spans the border of two kingdoms long at war. An evil sorcerer has made it his dominion, or an elegant enchantress has claimed it as her domain and grants wishes to those who chance upon her, or maybe the forest is guarded by an ancient and wrathful spirit. But Katya calls the forest home, living a life of magic and charms with her partner Ivan. But a threat looms over their forest, some darkness and danger that Ivan swears to protect her from. Katya finds herself caught up in a web of grudges and deception spanning generations, but most dangerous of all is the beautiful princess who stumbled into their woods. A princess who sets Katya’s heart fluttering with both desire and fear. As forces rally to rescue the princess or go to war, Katya must take measure of her own powers and decide what she is willing to sacrifice. Will she retreat to the safety of what's familiar or give up everything she knows to spread her wings and fly?

One Alpha Warden. One hidden Earth Elemental. A bond that could cost them everything. Sam Leslie has spent the last decade hiding her Earth Magic. If anyone discovers what she is, she will lose everything—including the land that has become her sanctuary. She has lived in the shadows for so long that she no longer knows how to step into the light. As Alpha of the Highland Rift Pack, Hale’s life revolves around protecting his people from the monsters lurking beyond the Rift Scar. He is a man of duty and steel, convinced that being a Shifter Alpha means he is destined for a life of stoic isolation. When a full moon hunt leaves Hale poisoned by a Rift scorpion and trapped in his wolf form, Sam has no choice but to take him in. The longer he stays, the stranger her land begins to behave—and the harder it becomes to keep her secret from the man who sees too much. But when another attack leaves Hale’s life hanging by a thread, Sam faces an impossible choice: let him die, or reveal the forbidden magic she has spent years hiding. Can Sam and Hale trust each other, or will the secrets they keep bury them both?
