Years ago, the dark queen was executed by witches, her cultists hunted down like rats and forced into hiding. Their black magic buried and put to rest, all was well in the world … or so we thought. Kitarni Barany, witch and shepherd of her flock, has always been different. There’s a darkness in her blood and a destiny beyond the border of her small village. Corruption is spreading, and the whispers of cultists stir through the woods once again. Betrothed to the heir of the Wolfblood Clan, she risks not only her life but her heart. United, they must stand against the cultists, or watch the Kingdom of Hungary fall. Cursed by Death and controlled by Fate, Kitarni is forced to meet her demons … or die by them. A story of succumbing to wicked desires, death, and the temptations of a deliciously dangerous love. The Cursed and the Broken is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers dark fantasy romance perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Kerri Maniscalco. No broomsticks or cauldrons here, only magic of the darkest kind and dimples to swoon over.

To protect the world from elimination, she must find the next Guardians of the Grove-- Everosia's inner sanctum and gateway to other dimensions.

The drums shall sound Everosia's doom, and blood will soak the land should the Guardians fail to stop the darkness. With the final battle approaching, Ashalea must decide what she will sacrifice to save Everosia. Can she stand against her greatest enemy? Can she kill her brother?

The darkness wants something from Ashalea ... and he doesn't ask nicely.

I’m a daughter of House Jupiter, the empire’s most powerful family built on the backs of those brainwashed to serve. The king is dead, and the Terrulian Trials have begun. This is my one chance to be crowned ruler of the kingdom and right my family’s wrongs. If only it were that simple. The House of Ascension isn’t for the fainthearted. I must survive three deadly challenges to secure my place as queen—and that’s not counting the Potentials ready to stab me in the back. It doesn’t help that four sinfully good-looking guys keep messing with my head. I can’t trust anyone, least of all myself. There can only be one sovereign … and I’ll stop at nothing to win these vicious games. ***The Terrulian Trials is a steamy urban fantasy series brimming with mystery, magic, and blood. This is a “why choose” novel, meaning the heroine ends up with multiple love interests. This novel is recommended for readers 18+ and is book one of six. We recommend for fans who enjoy the humour and fun of Zodiac Academy, the brutality of The Hunger Games, and the steaminess of The Bonds that Tie. If you're looking for a serious read in this academy-set series, this isn't it!
