Nessa's greatest threat may be the only other volunteer—Raith Hollow, a powerful fire affinity whose scorching gaze follows her every move and whose secrets could topple kingdoms.

A place where leveling is impossible, a place where there is no safety, and a place with thousand-year-old mysteries. Even SSS Tier beings are not safe.

Potestia may not have been built in a day, but it'll burn in one. Lillith has already freed its slaves and relieved the people of their former king, but she doesn't plan to stop there.

At least she has the wonderful Sarafyna to warm her heart—and watch her back.

Swept into a raging river, I thought death was inevitable—until Ryker, a dangerously sexy shifter cloaked in shadows, pulled me from the water.

When I climbed out to the surface this morning, to scavenge some food for my village, I knew the odds were severely stacked against me. A mere nurse, I had no business going out into the sun, where all kinds of monstrosities roamed. As if to prove my fears right, I was only out in the open for a few minutes when a pack of Kinru spotted me. I was quickly cornered. In a desperate attempt to defend myself, I managed to hurt one in the face...right before the creature was snatched by an even bigger monster. Then everything became a blur.
