"They say guardians and vampires once lived together in harmony.
But history is written by the victors…
When Aurelia is taken by the head vampire Alain, her life is bound to the whims of a cruel master, and the guardians, living in indentured servitude, can't protect her. She alone possesses a power the vampires covet, and Alain is determined to keep it for himself.
Assigned to guard her, Theo is caught between his duty to his kind and his growing feelings for her. The first true feelings he's had since being cursed.
As Aurelia begins to challenge Alain’s rule from the shadows, Theo discovers her true intentions and Aurelia gives him an impossible choice: help her spearhead the guardian exodus and betray his own, or maintain his loyalty to the darkness and lose her forever.
But for Theo there is only one objective. Keep Aurelia safe. Make Aurelia his.
Aurelia can’t give Alain her power and lose her chance to free the guardians. But as she and Theo draw closer, the lines between friend and foe begin to blur.
Aurelia has to trust someone.
But that someone is wrong."
"For fans of One Dark Window and A Serpent and the Wings of Night comes a dark, delicious gothic fantasy about a woman who vows to vanquish the creatures of the dark haunting their villages.
But the blood coursing through her veins holds a secret...
When Amalie stabs Theo Vallon in the heart with an ash spike, she finally proves her uncle wrong: Vampires do exist, and she will be the one to vanquish them.
When Theo attacks her alone late that night, she comes face to face with her deadly mistake. He can’t die, at least not in the way the legends proclaimed, and her life will be payment for her naivety.
Instead, Theo offers her a bargain. The truth about her bloodline for help only she can offer him.
He swears they both want the same thing. His death.
But the curse of the Shadow won’t release its claws that easily, and creatures of the dark are better known for seduction than honesty.
Amalie can’t relinquish her chance to avenge her mother’s death and rid the region of the vampire’s dark plague, but as her blood surges toward the darkness she was created to satisfy, she realizes she may have traipsed willingly into the spider’s den.
And she may not want to retreat."
"Aedra’s refuge is her curse.
After a brutal attack that left her pregnant with a mixed-blood child, Aedra fled from the laws of the Balancer enclave to protect her daughter Fina. But her quiet, protected life is shattered when the magic that once dominated their realm evaporates, and people she used to call friends seek vengeance on any members of the Order.
She must protect her daughter at all costs.
Brion, a Blessing Giver, is entrusted to suppress the rising unrest within the enclaves. Guided by Paladin (The Blessing Giver), he’s led to Aedra’s doorstep for help, only to uncover a truth that fractures his world: Fina, a mirror image of his dead older brother. He must complete his assignment, but when he finds Fina in trouble, he can’t bring himself to abandon a member of his bloodline when he’s been abandoned himself.
Aedra swore she’d never fall for a member of the Order, but when Brion saves Fina from an attack and accompanies them to confront the Balancers, the feelings that bloom within her become impossible to ignore.
But Brion doesn’t see her as anything more than a Balancer. An enemy. A threat to the bloodlines.
Then Aedra is given the salacious opportunity to keep her bloodline and Fina’s a secret from Brion and her friends. She could take everything she’s ever wanted and see peace in the realm finally realized.
Can she forsake her ties to the magic to keep the people she loves safe? Can she forsake the truth to take a love she hasn’t earned?

"Mel knows the price of secrets.
They cost her everything. Her marriage. Her family. Her happiness. Now, she lives a simple, isolated life in the mountains, far from the troubles of Cantheon. But trouble, it seems, has a way of finding her.
She never should have helped hide the man with mixed blood from the Order, especially when it puts her in the crosshairs of the vengeful town steward and rips apart the life she fought for in Viviers.
In a last-ditch effort to warn her newfound friends and untangle herself from their conflict, her life is derailed when she’s forced onto a ship with the one man she never dared to confront again. Rhodric.
The man she still yearns for.
The man she walked out on six years ago in the middle of the night.
In this action-packed tale, Mel is torn between her loyalties to Rayelle and Paladin (The Blessing Giver), the unexplainable forces sparking within her, and her desperation to stay far, far away from her former lover and the dark secret they share.

"Their magic is divided. Protected with a purpose.
Some see light…
Some see only darkness…
In order to uphold a delicate balance of power, the two bloodlines shall never mix.
Paladin never thought much of being a Balancer. It was what he was born to be; it was his destiny. But, when he finally accepts his consecration and awakens his power, he discovers destiny has other plans…
Rayelle has taken longer than most Blessing Givers to reach her consecration and receive her sight. She’s dedicated her entire life to the Prophecy and Order. There is no other way, only the way of the Goddess.
But when Paladin is banished from his enclave, Rayelle sees a vision she can’t purge from her mind.
Mixed blood. Forbidden.
Fate has thrown Paladin and Rayelle together for a reason, but the more questions Rayelle asks, the further she falls from the truth she’s been taught.
If the Order is right about him…her heart is dangerously wrong.
The Blessing Giver is an enemies-to-lovers, tantalizing forbidden romance. For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout, this new fantasy series will leave you breathless."
"An impossible burden with Real World consequences.
Tasked with building a new system for both Reals and Unreals, the Coalition makes plans to travel back to Southwest Territory and Paradise 3 Community.
The reality they’re fighting to realize is as fleeting as a dream, and just as fragile.
Southwest Territory is already flailing and Paradise 3 is nearly unrecognizable after heavy Cerebrolink rollouts. When they find the Coalition home base is up in flames and their friends are in the clutches of Paradise 7, all hope seems lost.
There’s nothing to support a rescue mission, let alone rebuild a world from the ground up.
The Coalition knows the cost of failure is integration of the entire Real population, and they refuse to give up without a fight.
Can Mila and Channel survive the final push for a united world?"
"They’re mourning the loss of each other. But reuniting could have fatal consequences.
Kate can’t shake this uneasy feeling. Despite memories of her previous partner dying, her dreams are filled with vivid images of him alive and well. And plagued by sudden debilitating headaches, she can’t help but wonder if her body knows something she doesn’t.
Eric wants to be the dad his son deserves. So though he suffers constant reminders of his wife’s death, he’s forced to play along in a life that feels unfamiliar. But with a new romantic interest on the horizon, he wonders if it’s time to finally move on.
As the truth behind Kate’s illness begins to emerge, she fears someone has broken the fragile social contract. And when an unforeseen benefactor sends Eric information, his faith in the system faces the ultimate test.
Can two forgotten lovers rediscover the relationship their hearts remember?"
"They know they’re stronger together. But the Communities have torn them apart.
After surviving the escape from P3, Channel and Alek travel with the Coalition to regroup and mount another digital attack—this time with the proof they need.
But they aren’t the only ones who want to see the end of the Communities’ reign.
The Vivientes, descendants of ancient tribes in the New Mexican desert see the writing on the wall. Their treaties won’t last much longer, but they aren’t convinced the Coalition is worthy of their alliance.
Meanwhile, Mila and Zayn discover a Coalition contact and finally achieve their goal of making it to the Reals out east.
But they quickly find that the lure of Community promises runs deep, and even the Real world isn’t immune from lies and deceit.
With too many moving parts and a desperate need for resources, the Coalition finds itself stretched thin. Lives are on the line, and the battle-cry calling them to fight at all costs makes their reality more tenuous by the second.
Will Mila and Channel live to see a world built on their ideals? Or is it too late for everyone?"
"The Unreal World is calling...
As newly converted members of the Coalition, Channel and Aave infiltrate their prior home in an attempt to access Cerebrolink’s secrets.
After struggling to survive in the Real world, Channel once again finds herself in Paradise 3, where absolutely anything goes.
She knows her mission. But the Unreal World was designed to make people forget.
Following Channel’s unexpected departure, Mila and her friends join their Coalition escorts to complete the final leg of their journey to the Reals.
With inside contacts and undeniable proof that the Real world is healing, Mila has never felt more idealistic about their future.
That is...until unfamiliar faces emerge from a P7 rescue transport. Until everyone she loves is restrained and tossed into a holding cell in a vehicle heading anywhere but home.
As the Community’s vice tightens, the pull of a virtual utopia is stronger than ever.
Will Mila and Channel find a way to break free and save the people they love—and themselves—before they’re unknowingly trapped in Paradise forever?"
"Two communities. One technological power play. A conflict ready to ignite.
Channel is Unreal. After the devastating Campi eruption, people flocked to new Communities offering retinal implants to modify the world into something beautiful again. Living in Paradise 3 Community, Channel's only goal is to become a World Builder and improve the augmented reality code for everyone living there. Her opportunities seem endless until Cerebrolink is announced - new implant technology with the ability to augment all the senses. With dashed dreams and her skills rendered virtually useless, Channel is left with none of her prior options. Especially after she's ripped from P3 by the Coalition - a group dead set on stopping this tech from moving forward.
Mila is Real. Living with her parents who fought to remain independent from the Communities, her world is the antithesis of privileged. With a dwindling peer group, a lack of resources, and seemingly no future, she jumps at the chance to travel with her brother Alek in search of other free Real societies. Though they have outdated information and virtually zero knowledge of what could lie ahead, Alek and Mila leave the only home they've ever known under cover of night.
When Mila and Channel's paths collide, they become torn between the worlds they thought they knew and a brazen reality they could never have imagined. Will they risk it all to understand what it truly means to be Real?
Unreal is the first novel in the riveting Unreal young-adult augmented reality series. If you like mind-bending storylines, strong female characters, and breathtaking world-building, you'll adore Cindy Gunderson's page-turning psychological saga."
