Ava-Marie is the most powerful supernatural that's ever lived...and the most dangerous. The only elemental who can cast both Fire and Water, she's sent to the Darke Institute for Supernatural Offenders for her crimes. Inside this magical penitentiary, monsters roam free and most inmates don't come out alive. Charlie's at the Institute because of Ava-Marie, but he's far from innocent. After losing his sight and growing up on the streets, he knows exactly how to outlast the gangs and fight clubs inside the prison.

Recalled from the front lines to the species melting pot of the Kespian Isle, he is ordered to resurrect Domina 7 and claim dominance in the Grand Arena. A place where gladiators die for coin, power is bought with blood, and three kings vie to rake in the most taxes. To survive, Riko must build an estate of steel, magic, and loyalists… or be devoured by the competition.

Nothing can scare you when you’ve already died. Caught between the realm of the living and the dead, I’m not the same person I used to be. I’m darker, crazier… and nothing’s going to stop me from ruling over this prison. The merfolk key is linked to a legendary assassin, and Kallie might be the way to find it. If we’re going to save the Elves, my friends and I will have to resort to unsavory methods. I’m getting justice for my past, and taking revenge no matter what the consequences.

I escaped the Institute with my partners in crime, and now we’re going to make the world pay. We’ve never had more fun than when we’re out on the streets, committing crimes and robbing banks. My husband and I have sworn to become the greatest supernatural crime lords the magical world has ever seen, and we plan to make good on that dark promise. I have thousands at my command, but even in the midst of my rule, I fear Charlie is taking things too far. Reality is beginning to bend, and I’ve decided to craft this world to what I decide it should be.

When Detective Romulus “Ro” Zinelli is hired to find a missing young woman, the trail leads him to Zoe’s Expedition Park: a decaying world of rusted rides, silent mascots, and something alive beneath the concrete. As Ro searches for the girl, he is drawn deeper into the park’s eerie mythology, and into his own wreckage of guilt, regret, and loss. Haunted machines, lingering ghosts, and the strange creatures who walk between worlds wait within the park’s gates… but not all of them are willing to let him leave.

Nico di Angelo is feeling antsy. It’s been almost three months since he and his boyfriend, Will Solace, returned to Camp Half-Blood from their journey to Tartarus, and there hasn’t been a demigod quest or a conflict with monsters in all that time. So, when Nico's half-sister, Hazel Levesque, asks him and Will to join her at Camp Jupiter on the West Coast, he shadow-jumps at the chance to get away and do something. In her Iris-message, Hazel had said that she needed the boys’ help with an “issue” with some “new guests.”

Welcome back! We saved you a spot in line! At the heart of Zoe’s Expedition Park stands a decaying monument to stolen fire: the Prometheus statue: rusted, massive, and still burning. When a new threat begins to spread through the park, an ancient thing with deep hunger, the fragile balance between its residents unravels. As grief, guilt, and rage ignite, an uneasy alliance of ghosts, machines, and wanderers must confront what wanders their park and within themselves.

Sage Carson has a messy reputation. Sure, she’s a soccer star with World Cup trophies and Olympic medals, but she’s almost as well known for her rebellious behavior off the pitch. She’s left enough gorgeous women with broken hearts in her dust to fill a roster. That was, until she got injured. Now, her frustratingly slow recovery means she’d better secure this new squeaky-clean endorsement deal in order to get back on top.

Things at the Institute look darker than ever. I've lost all my friends, my hope, and the person I love. To make matters worse, the prison is planning something nefarious. Experiments are being performed on inmates at the Institute, to satisfy the Warden's craving to find a demigod. I've sworn to uncover the Warden's plans, and go underground to learn just what he's plotting. Unfortunately, I can't find answers without putting my soul on the line. And the consequences are going to propel me straight to the afterlife.

My name is Ava-Marie, and I love living on the dark side. Getting into trouble is kind of my thing, but one night, I take revenge too far. I’m sentenced to a reform school for magical delinquents... though really, it’s a prison. As the only supernatural who can control both fire and water, I’m already a target. To make matters worse, I literally share a soul with Charlie, a sexy inmate from the wrong side of the tracks. Surviving at the Institute is almost as risky as falling in love.
