Set in the small, intimate world of Ryars Valley, these tales chronicle the lives of a group of Nightworld and human teenagers over two years; showing the wanton tragedies and triumphs that shape their lives and characters.

I: Kelekona

She was the last of an ancient race, and the first of a new. Reve-Lai, the Dream Immortal, half-dragon and half-witch had awoken millennia after the end of the war between the two races. Now, she found herself tangled in new webs of deceit, small and silent wars in the depths of Ryars Valley, trying to solve a series of ritual murders, trying to keep everyone away from her heart - until someone intruded on both.

II: Heartsong

Cougar Redfern was an exile, one of many in a town full of people running from their pasts. He didn't care about much, except maybe his friends - and then the two witches came to town, and he found himself unaccountably intrigued.

Bliss; beautiful, dangerous, clever. And Ria, her sister, too shy to even meet his eyes. Digging at his past, unearthing his secrets - the one thing he'd protect ta all costs.

III: Trifolia

Trifolia Rasmussen didn't believe in much. God had let her down a long time ago. The once noble Night World crept around in shadows, thugs and petty criminals. Her family loathed her. But she had always been different and someone knew that.
They needed her help. And when the end of the world was at stake, she began to find a cause worth believing in.

IV: Darkstar

With her dying words her sister gave Zara the only clues she had to finding out who had killed her family, two words that meant nothing and everything.

Dark star.

She wanted vengeance... but she underestimated the Nightworld. She wanted answers - but found only knife blades and death. She wanted out - and she was trapped.

V: Ouroboros

She was cursed with memory that stretched beyond the grave. Lost without hope. Locked in time, reliving the death she had caused in love...
Alisha had no one and nothing anymore. Until Circle Daybreak sent her to Ryars Valley, where she found her memories lived again. Yet this time, nothing was done in love, and she was being hunted by hatred, by a man who wanted what she could no longer give.

Alone. Abandoned. Torn.

Alisha thought she had seen it all. She was wrong.

VI: NightFire

They say: still waters run deep.

Jallakri ap Ganra woke up in a Nevada town with no memory of who she was. Alone in a world that had changed beyond recognition, she knew only her name and her face.

When she met the strange people who lived there, she had no idea how closely they were bound to her. How closely their pasts and futures intertwined. She knew nothing of herself or them, except for the fragmented dreams that haunted her and revealed what had lain hidden for ten thousand years.

Still waters run deep. And in the deeps, monsters lurk. Ten thousand years is a long time.

Not long enough.

VII: Chimera

~ I can make you fall in love with me. I can rip your soul in two. ~

The words of Chatoya Irkil's soulmate. Blue Malefici was a killer, an unfathomable boy who carved his own path through the lives of others, and he had made her a promise; to destroy her. He had killed her family, and hurt her friends, and there was only time and trifles between the fulfilment of those words. Maybe she could stop him. Maybe she could hurt him.

Maybe is a dangerous game to play.

VIII: Deified
A few hints at the next book...

Interlude: Promises To Keep
This fits somewhere between Heartsong and Nightfire.
