Summary
For Nesta Archeron, the war is far from over. Haunted by her past and crushed by expectations, she takes the only escape she sees possible: disappearing. She finds an anonymous refuge, a forgotten town hidden deep in the mountains where no one knows her name.
But the Night Court sees all, and no one can hide from its lethal Spymaster.
When Azriel finds her, it is his duty to bring her back. Yet, in her broken eyes, he recognizes a familiar darkness and makes a decision that will change everything: to protect her secret.
Isolated from the world in the quiet of the mountains, their true selves begin to emerge. He finds in Nesta someone who isn't afraid of his shadows, and she finds in Azriel someone who understands the language of pain. Without anyone else knowing, they build an unexpected sanctuary: in one another. A love that blossoms in silence and is strengthened with every shared truth.

Summary
It has been 125 years since the war with Hybern, and Prythian has entered into an era of peace, but peace does not mean stillness.
Since the fall of the Wall, the humans have been advancing, developing steam engines, railways, and most importantly, a Grand Fair where territories come together to display their cultures and innovations, and this year, Queen Vassa and King Jurian invite the Courts of Prythian to participate in hopes of garnering true peace between Fae and Human.
Nyx, crown prince of the Night Court, hides his doubts behind charm and wit, while Primrose, Spring’s beloved princess, shoulders duty with quiet strength. When the fair brings them together, amidst shifting politics and old scars, an unexpected bond begins to grow — one that could change more than just their courts.

Summary
Angelo is a slave, bound to the Court of Nightmares by chains of pain, silence, and obedience. Abandoned by their High Lord and ruled by Keir’s iron grip, he has long since buried hope. His world is darkness—until one act of defiance sparks something dangerous: attention.
Eyes shift. Whispers spread. And for the first time, Angelo is faced with a choice. A future. A chance to change everything.
Azriel, the infamous Shadowsinger and Spymaster of the Night Court, is sent to investigate rising unrest in Hewn City. He expects treachery, not the fire he finds in a broken slave. Angelo challenges everything Azriel believes—about duty, justice, and the limits of mercy.
As rebellion grows and the court begins to fracture, both are caught in the storm. In a court where cruelty reigns, freedom demands sacrifice—and no revolution comes without blood.

Summary
Marriage- human marriage. Elain thought marrying Lord Graysen would complete her, that she would be swept away from the world of fae, queens, and the threat of war. Instead, she finds herself wasting away behind Graysen’s fortress walls- forgotten in a small cottage and pining for her life before Graysen. There are days when it feels like the shadows are watching her, reminding her of an Illyrian warrior who had begun to sneak his way into her heart in the final weeks before her marriage. She hopes her Graysen will return, but each passing week she unconsciously searches the skies and whispers to the shadows ‘help me’. But as Elain Archeron finds out, she may have to help herself.

Summary
For five hundred years, he killed, manipulated, and built his way to power because giving up was not an option. For five hundred years, Eris waited for the moment he could be with Azriel, and protected his secrets under seven locks. Now, as the moment of his ascension may come any day with the proof he's been gathering, Eris decides he can no longer be on bad terms with Azriel. At first, he just wants to change his mind and reveal who he is, praying that Azriel will let the hate go. What begins as understanding turns into a fiery bargain between them that will change the course of everything.
Azriel has always hated Eris. When the recent alliance between the Autumn and Night Courts expects him to help the male he despises, he has no way to refuse. However, as they spend time together on a mission to find missing people in the Autumn Court, unexpected secrets are revealed, as well as who Eris Vanserra truly is. As their research goes on, little does Azriel know that the fate of their world lies in his forgiveness and in their success in protecting the fragile peace after the war. For evil is coming, and their love is the very thing that will unleash it into the world.

Summary
Born under Amarantha’s brutal reign, Nephele has never seen the world beyond temple walls. Raised in isolation at Cesere’s edge, her life has been one of ritual and restraint—until Hybern’s forces raze her sanctuary, leaving her with nothing but ashes and grief.
Rescued by her court’s High Lord, she is brought to the House of Wind, where ancient magic stirs and winged warriors fly under starlit skies. But even there, peace eludes her. Blood-stained dreams and a pull toward something unknown haunt her sleep in the quiet of the library.
As war looms, Nephele draws the attention of Rhysand’s Inner Circle. His spymaster, Azriel, cannot understand why his shadows linger around her. His general, Cassian, feels a strange familiarity in her presence. Amren scents forgotten magic in her blood. And Mor watches the threads of fate tighten around a girl who may unravel everything.
Something long-dormant stirs in Nephele—power she never knew, truths hidden beneath a life of lies. To stop what’s coming, she must uncover what was taken from her… and decide what, and who, she’s willing to fight for.
What will it take to awaken the winter within her heart?

Summary
There is more than meets the eye in the city of Velaris. Magic lays hidden in plain sight, recognized only by wielders, the rest of the citizens ignorant to the supernatural goings on in the city.
Elain is a confident magic wielder, using her powers of Sight and earthwork to make a living as a fortune teller, living a simple, peaceful life despite the recent heartbreak she has endured. Azriel is an aloof financial manager at a business firm, adamantly opposed to anything that cannot be unequivocally proven by the scientific method and rational thought.
But when he meets Elain, Azriel's commitment to rationality begins to fray as she slowly awakens something that has been crawling beneath his skin since childhood. Something he has spent years denying, refusing to remember, refusing to explore. And when Elain meets Azriel, her Sight begins to show her flashes of her past life, a past life where something terrible and tragic happened, and she fears history will repeat itself. Their immediate and persistent attraction and draw to each other creates turbulence in both of their lives when their heads and their hearts cannot align, and their togetherness forces them both to confront pasts they would rather forget.
