If life really was a fairy tale, Zakara would never be the damsel in distress. She'd be a thief, and Prince Charming wouldn't have a clue how to steal the heart of the conniving criminal. Zakara saves not one, but three men locked inside the tallest tower. Her first instinct is to ditch them as soon as possible, but they have one thing that intrigues her more than wealth: Magic. Fae magic once ruled the world, until it disappeared without a trace. Only myths of the magic wielders linger in their destroyed society.

I can only run from my past for so long. Eventually my Demons always find me. Unfortunately, that Demon has hired three insufferable dragon shifters to bring me back to him. I just have to hide my secrets a little longer. I just have to pretend to help these assholes find the person they're looking for without letting them know the truth. They're on the hunt for a dangerous Mage. Just wait until they find out the Mage they're hunting is actually me....

The Dark Moon should be the best night of my life as a shifter. Instead, my sweet little house cat just combusted into flames in the middle of my bedroom, my tormenting alpha says he’s my mate, and three hellish men just blazed into my life like sinful gods. With nowhere left to run, I’m forced to acknowledge the gorgeous existence of the three dark stalkers hunting me. They offer me something I can’t ignore: protection in the realm of Hell…as well as answers about my past. My magic and my wolf grow stronger, fiercer, and deadlier in their presence. But I’ll never trust them.

This world is a perfect, enchanting wonderland. The people here are just as alluring. But we all have our secrets. Like the white rabbit who’s leading a rebellion right under the king’s nose. Or the sweet March Hare who’s actually an enemy spy. Or my one true ally in all of this, a killer who’s so feared they won’t even say his real name.

What’s more dangerous than dark magic? Deadly secrets. And the Academy of Six is hiding both within its ancient walls. A history of Magic sends Izara on a literal trip down memory lane.

I never expected my life to go up in literal hellfire. The dark moon should be the best night of my life as a shifter.

With nowhere left to run, I’m forced to acknowledge the gorgeous existence of the three dark stalkers hunting me.

I was thrown out of the fae world, but I’m back now. Three brooding demons and a sinful incubus returned me to my sweet little homeland. And I’ll finish what I started all those years ago. Sure, maybe my delicate fae features are twisting into spiraling horns and demonic eyes, but that won’t stop me from righting my wrongs. The Queen of Hell might possess my body, but the deadly vengeance in my blood is my own. The Prince will die by my hand for what he's done.

I didn’t fall into a place of wonder and madness. I was taken. This world is a perfect, enchanting wonderland. The people here are just as alluring. But we all have our secrets. Like the white rabbit who’s leading a rebellion right under the King’s nose. Or the sweet March Hare who’s actually an enemy spy. Or my one true ally in all of this, a killer who’s so feared they won’t even say his real name.

I'm coming after Kreedence. I want him to know what it feels like to live in fear. Just as I did for so many years. Three dragon shifters and a hellhound should be more than enough help. And yet, I'm seeking out allies in all the wrong places: a prince with resources, a deadly king with power, and a mysterious queen who died decades ago. New secrets will come to light. They'll destroy everything I thought I knew about myself and the world around me. Our secrets will always haunt us. Or hunt us.

I've gotten myself into one last incident. One final mistake that may cost me everything, including my life. By using dark, manipulating magic the Solstice Queen wants to reign over the two Kingdoms and give power back to mages once and for all. I'll stand by her side. I'll smile and wave and say all the right things. All while turning the last remaining mages against her. Because when it all ends, the beloved Solstice Queen won't walk away from the war she started. Unless I die trying.

Welcome to Hell. Gym class, the academy, my tormentors - they have nothing on this place. It thrives on unimaginable power. Consuming magic pulses all around me. It owns me. I have to escape. I have to be stronger than the evil that’s all around me. And I have to remind myself that this isn’t where I belong. I belong in that prison of a school with my friends. With my men.

The beautiful coastal village is too small and it's impossible to hide when you're a target. They know I'm different. They knew when I was a young girl and they know now. They're just waiting for the proof. They're all waiting for me to screw up like I always do. What they don't know is, I'm not staying. I'll take my scowling shifters - hopefully before they literally rip into one of the many hateful villagers - and I'll find the Solstice Queen. I'll find that mysteriously dangerous mage again if it's the last thing I do.

The Bliss, as they call it, isn't a perfect nirvana. It's conniving and twisted torment waiting for me to fall into the council’s claws at any moment. But I'm not sticking around to be their newest torment target. I've got my own kingdom of doom to deal with. And saving the lives of those deliciously wicked men of mine is more important than the inevitable deadly chaos in all the realms.

I'm surrounded by the very people I vowed revenge upon. Instead of lashing out with sharp blades and knives, I'm stuck buying my time. I need the Shadow Guard's help if I'm going to save my demon mates from the claws of my enemies. The Shadow Guard are just like myself. They're made entirely from secrets, lies, and deadly dark magic, and now it's all spreading around us like wildfire. Nothing about vengeance is ever easy though. The chaos that surrounds me, it's like coming home. And my kingdom of a home, it's all about to come crashing down.

Hell has come. And her name is Izara Castillo. Portals are open, hell spawns are destroying the academy from the inside out, and even the ancient Vampiric Citadel is no match for this kind of power. Lucian Morningstar wanted a war? Well he just got one. He may have trained and strengthened Izzy’s Prod into a true apocalyptic monster but he forgot about one small detail. Her men would give their life to protect her. Even from herself. This is the final book in the reverse harem series Origins of the Six. Recommended for listeners 18 and over.
