Lydia, the daughter of smoke, has declared war with Lucifer, the prince of darkness. Talk about daddy issues. But friends are getting caught in the crosshairs. And the only way she might have a chance of succeeding might be to get her siblings to work with her instead of trying to destroy her to look better in Lucifer's eyes. Either Lucifer's children are going to stand united against him, or eventually, they will all fall down before his wrath. Just ask his first children. Oh, wait. Those children are long since dead.

Sometimes the need for blood outweighs all else. Barbarian-Princess Ivy will do anything to save her people, even if it means forming an unlikely alliance with Lukor the goliath.

Unbeknownst to her, Lukor blames the barbarians for murdering his sister and plans on sabotaging her goal. Almost despite themselves, they grow to respect each other, but nothing Ivy can do will prevent the war. Not even killing her father and becoming Barbaroness can stop the tide. And when bloodlust claims Ivy, forcing her to kill everyone in her path, she might destroy her one last chance at peace and possibly love too with one swing of her sword.

Year Two at Moonstone Academy... The end of year one had been so rocky, I didn't think I could recover, but I have. No one is going to take me down this year. No one's going to take Robb down either. There are far too many people who need to get that memo and pronto.

I'll find a way to save him even if it takes everything I have. Moonstone Academy just might end me.
