Elite Families

America is in crisis. Happiness is falling, loneliness and despair are rising, too many schools are riddled by fights and failure, crime is unacceptably high, and the American Dream is out of reach for millions. The problems are visible to us all, but virtually no one is talking about the solution that matters most: Marriage. New research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox shows that Americans who get married and have children today are leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless.

In elite collegiate rowing, the smallest lie can sink the entire crew. Reese Callahan thought she'd perfected the art of hiding in plain sight.

**Previously published as The Covenant Episodes 1-4, this book has been reformatted as the first in a planned series of four full-length novels.** Stay hidden. Stay safe. Kit Kingston knows three things: keep your head down, trust no one, and never reveal what you truly are. In a world where supernatural power can be as dangerous as it is coveted, Kit Kingston is a siphon - someone who can draw off excess magic before it destroys its wielder. When she's given an ultimatum by the Council - attend their elite Darkwood University or face "containment" - she realizes her gift is more curse than...

The gods made the rules. Kit Kingston is about to break them. Kit was never meant to survive, let alone fight back. But with her power rising and her bonds—Jace, Cade, Micah, Ash, and the enigmatic Gabriel Carter—at her side, she refuses to be anyone's pawn. Not anymore. Then Gabriel vanished. Taken. Tortured. And Kit knows—this isn't just another battle. It's a warning. A message written in ancient magic and modern threats: some rules were never meant to be broken. To get him back, Kit and her bonds must unravel the secrets that have kept them trapped for centuries. But the deeper ...

Power isn't just about what you can do. It's about what you're willing to become. As a siphon with multiple supernatural bonds, Kit shouldn't exist. Her power should have torn her apart a long time ago. Instead, it's growing, evolving into something that makes even the Council's eldest members look away in fear. As her power grows beyond anything the Council has seen before, Kit's only hope lies in a forbidden ritual that could either stabilize her or consume her completely and the one person she's been warned not to trust—Agent Carter, the Council's most dangerous weapon, whose secrets ...

To steal your power, they must first make you forget it was ever yours. In a world where magic means power and power means everything, Kit Kingston is an anomaly—a siphon whose abilities challenge the very foundations of supernatural society. Bound to four of the most powerful men at Darkwood University, Kit's unprecedented connections make her both a miracle and a threat. As she navigates the treacherous politics of the elite magical world, she uncovers disturbing truths about her own heritage and the systematic oppression of those like her. But someone is watching. The Council has sent ...
