HOUSES OF THE OLD BLOOD
Sixteen-year-old Addie Stevens is a dedicated underachiever with a serious allergy to attention.
When an enigmatic boy with piercing gold eyes stalks her, she can’t shake him. And when she’s attacked by other-worldly hunters called the Denagali, it’s her stalker, Eris, who saves her But the Denagali smell blood in the water. Addie’s blood. They’re hunting her, and the one person who knows why is golden-eyed Eris. He can’t stop talking about secret bloodlines, Old Blood dynasties, and the Kharis, a hidden race of powerful beings. Addie doesn’t want to believe him, but she doesn’t have a choice.
Every passing moment she stays with her family thrusts them deeper into Denagali danger. To save them, Addie escapes with Eris to the sanctuary Kettlescon. Once there Addie is far from safe. Secrets swirl around her like Kharis battle blades, rumors whisper of a dark transformation, while Addie’s unique “talents” suggest that her blood might be the oldest of them all…
THE GOLD FLAME OF SENICA
Seventeen-year-old Addie Stevens wishes life would life would just go back to normal. But normal vanished the day unearthly hunters called the Denagali tried to kill her little sister. Addie agreed to her role as heir of House Senica to save her human family. There is only one problem. Addie sucks at being a princess.
She loves combat, and her unique talents are unsurpassed–but what good is her skill set in a place where intrigue and rumor are the weapons of choice? She should be mastering Old Blood politics and making alliances. Instead she botches a Denagali raid, insults a popular suitor, and alienates the people she must one day lead. But Addie has nothing in common with bored royals only interested in night clubs and shopping. She aches for Eris Connor, the boy who broke her heart to keep her safe.
Yet Addie is far from safe. Plots are in play, and the loyalty of House Senica is not guaranteed. Worse, a spy hides in the shadows. A spy with one mission: deliver Addie and her unique DNA to the Lord of the Denagali.
Can Addie channel her inner princess in time? Or will betrayal bring House Senica to its knees, and send her into the clutches of the darkest ruler of them all?
