Danger lurks around every corner, and all it would take is one spark to ignite a war.Groups who worship the High Elves as gods are spreading quickly through the courts, and with no easy way to deal with them, Kenna and the others find themselves in the middle of what looks an awful lot like an invasion.

However, with every increasingly risky situation, long-held secrets threaten to spill into the light.

But betrayal and secrets lurk around every corner. Can they keep their friendships intact while they carry out this impossible mission? Or will some bonds change forever?

A shocking revelation has left Eve reeling. With her worldview irrevocably altered, she finds herself with a decision to make. What price is she willing to pay for revenge? While it is a gruesomely satisfying goal, the path of vengeance would require her to dig two graves. One for her target. And one for the person she used to be.Levi's nonexistent morals, however, have never changed. He is dead set on bringing Malgrave to its knees and forcing the democratic north side to formally cede the south to him. But now he has two goals. Complete domination. And Eve.The two of them find themselves in a fight with the stakes of a lifetime. And the winner takes it all. Revenge. Power. Freedom. Love. Levi and Eve want it all. To get it, they will need to descend into darkness. And once inside that bloodstained abyss, there will be no way back. It is time to choose a side. Hero. Or villain. Because only one side will get their happily ever after.

Disaster has left Levi's once mighty Court of Metal in shambles, and he is now besieged from every side. Word has spread about his weakened state, which emboldens enemies from both without and within. In a mad scramble for survival, he must deal with both the other dark mages inside Malgrave as well as a lurking threat from the north. At the same time, Eve faces a struggle of her own. She should know what the right path is, but after everything that has happened, she is no longer so sure. Torn between her head and her heart, she tries desperately to walk the line between good and evil without fully choosing side. But some decisions cannot be unmade. And some consequences are irreversible. Levi and Eve are from two completely separate worlds that are impossible to unite. Is there any hope for their relationship? Or will the chasm between them remain forever unbridgeable?

The mission is simple. Do not fall for the enemy. All her life, Eve Sterling has hated dark mages. They are arrogant, domineering, and will do anything to get what they want. Due to their immense power, they have been able to carve out their own kingdoms on the south side of the city, where they fight each other for dominance. Ordinary people are expected to bow down or face the consequences. But Eve refuses to accept their rule.Levi Arden is one of those dark mages. As a metal mage, he has used his powers and his cunning mind to take control of a large part of the lawless south side. And his ambition doesn't stop there. He plans to rule it all someday. But he faces great resistance from both the other dark mages and from the democratic northern side who wants to reclaim their city.When a new threat to Levi appears, there is only one person who can help him dismantle it. Eve. But working together will not be easy. Levi is used to complete obedience from his people, but Eve will instead do anything she can to mess with his plans. However, as they spend more time together, complicated feelings arise and previously held certainties are turned on their head. Can the two ruthless enemies stay true to their separate missions? Or will their changing hearts doom them both?

While Audrey and Callan were busy trying to persuade the King of Metal to help them, Chancellor Quill and the rest of his parliament were already making their moves. Faced with overwhelming odds, the dark mages will have to use every trick and every scheme that they can conjure in order to stand a chance.However, one of the good things about being a dark mage is that there are no limitations. No rules. And no morals. To win this war, Callan and Audrey and the rest of their allies plan to fight dirty. Nothing is too ruthless, too wicked, when their power and freedom are on the line. The only problem is of course that dark mages are not used to working together with others, and one mistake could doom them all. Trust is scarce. Relationships barely formed are easily broken. And the entire might of Eldar, along with a Binder, awaits them on the other side of the battlefield. Can Audrey and Callan go up against them and walk away victorious? Or do ruthless villains like them simply not get a happily ever after?

The people of Eldar are stepping up their efforts to rid their beloved city state of dark mages, and they are bringing the fight into the hills. When calamity strikes, Audrey and Callan can no longer deal with the situation on their own. Forced to admit that they need help, they journey to Malgrave to find the one person who might be able to provide it.But the city of Malgrave is not for the faint of heart. A lethal dark mage rules half of the city with an iron fist, and he has no reason to help anyone with their problems. On the contrary, he enjoys wielding his power selfishly from atop his throne of metal. To make matters worse, he also has a history with Callan that ended badly.In order to win the war against Eldar, Callan and Audrey need to persuade him to help. But the deck is stacked against them from the very beginning. Can they navigate the sinful streets of Malgrave together and secure the assistance they need without getting swept away by Callan's blood-soaked past?

The war between the dark mages has been settled and the new power hierarchy is in place, but the people of Eldar have at last figured out that their great hero is no longer in the city. Determined to take him back, they are mustering the whole city for battle while Lance's friends race to reclaim an artifact that would leave the dark mages at a severe disadvantage.In order to prevent that from happening, Audrey and Callan have to get to the item first. However, the road to it is full of danger, and they can afford no distractions if they are to survive it. But that is easier said than done when both of them are harboring secrets from each other that would turn their world upside down. If Callan and Audrey are to succeed in this mission, they will need to depend on each other more than ever. But after all the blood and betrayal, can two heartless villains truly learn to trust one another?

After finishing their mission together, both Callan and Audrey find themselves in a position they did not expect. Their feelings towards each other have changed. And so has the power balance. While trapped in an entirely new situation, both of them will have to sort through their tangled emotions and figure out how to handle their complicated relationship.At the same time, the other dark mages are on the warpath. Some might be open to negotiating a deal, but others are preparing for an outright fight. In order to avoid a direct confrontation, Audrey and Callan have to work together to broker a tenuous peace. At least until the two of them are ready to make their own moves.Enemies are circling them like wolves, waiting for them to slip up. But the greatest danger they face is not the enraged heroes or the other dark mages. It is their feelings for each other.

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. It is the person whose heart I want to cut out.In a world where magic is distributed equally, there are some people who refuse to share their power. Dark mages. Lethal. Selfish. And utterly without morals.Audrey Sable is one of them. As a poison mage, she can bring men to their knees with a flick of her wrist. But the man she really wants to kill will not go down so easily. Callan Blackwell is also a powerful dark mage, and he would like nothing better than to see Audrey beg for mercy at his feet. But their hatred for one another will have to wait.When the heroic champions of equality prepare to launch an attack that will wipe out the remaining dark mages, Audrey and Callan are forced to put their war on hold and instead work together. They have one chance to stop the self-righteous heroes before it is too late, but their mutual animosity is bound to get in the way of the mission. And the problem with blazing feelings like hatred is that it only takes one spark to turn it into burning passion. Audrey and Callan's temporary union is undoubtedly a dangerous one. To the world. And most of all, to their own ruthless hearts.
