From the bestselling authors of the BookTok sensation Zodiac Academy comes Lightwing, the epic second installment of the Crown of Hearts and Chaos series.

Held captive in a castle surrounded by Hollows, Ferris is at the mercy of a Fae with nothing but hatred in his heart. Will she escape unscathed to fulfill her promises to The Great Elm, or will his sinful darkness consume her bit by bit?

**This title will be available on a limited run with a new cover, beautiful sprayed edges and an exclusive bonus chapter**

Never listen to the pleas of the dead.

Never betray the oaths made to the spirits.

Never make a deal with a Hag.

Never trust the Fae.

The Great Elm placed a task upon my soul which only death or triumph can release me from.

I am more than I thought myself to be but less than fate seems to believe I might be.

Hendrix Bane has marked me for death as surely as I have marked him as my enemy. I am trapped in the castle of my adversary and all that passed between us before this moment has been cast aside like ashes from a fire that burned too hot and too fast to bask in.

My sister is lost to me once more and doubts gnaw at my insides. All the things I never wanted myself to believe have forced themselves to the forefront of my mind. Did I even achieve anything in those trees? Or will the world rejoice at my success only to curse my name for their downfall in the end?

I have an impossible task to fulfil and my accomplice in it has nothing but hatred for me in his heart. So now I'm at the mercy of the man who helped me survive the curse of the forest. And his wrath is nothing short of sinful.

I only pray I don't lose myself to the corruption which has taken hold of him. And I don't know if I will escape him before I'm consumed by it too.

But maybe that's what I'm hoping for.

*** Lightwing, the second book in the Crown of Hearts and Chaos is a dark Romantasy from the bestselling authors of Zodiac Academy, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti.

Expect plenty of plot twists, cliff hangers, dark humour and a healthy seasoning of make-you-blush spice that will corrupt your heart and have you begging for more ***

Here are the confessions of a vampire: a hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly sensual story of Louis de Pointe du Lac's first two hundred years as one of the living dead. We begin on the night when Louis, disaffected and reluctant heir to a Louisiana plantation, is turned into a vampire by Lestat. Radiant, petulant, and powerful, Lestat becomes Louis' companion and urges him to embrace the hungers and feelings of vampirism: the detachment, the hardened will, the "superior" sensual pleasures. As Louis struggles to retain the last residue of human feeling within him, he discovers must commit the ultimate act: to break away from his creator and discover the new world to which he belongs--whatever the cost.

This is a story of danger and flight, of loyalty and treachery, of gaining humanity and losing it, and of the extraordinary power of the senses.
