VEINS OF SHADOW AND STARLIGHT

Alexia_Penrose
Sarafina Ainsley died on her twenty-fifth birthday. The problem is… she woke up again. Now her blood burns with something unnatural, her senses are sharper than they should be, and the city she once called home suddenly feels different—like it’s watching her. Valerie’s City hides more than ordinary secrets. Vampires rule from the shadows, hunters lurk in silence, and ancient bloodlines control a world Sarafina never knew existed. But somehow… she is at the center of it. Someone knows what she is. Someone has been waiting for her return. And someone clearly failed to kill her the first time. Two men stand dangerously close to the truth. Alistair Draven—a powerful hybrid whose presence awakens something wild inside her. Cassian Crowley—her best friend, who seems far too prepared for the chaos unfolding around them. As buried secrets begin to surface, Sarafina realizes her death was never an accident. It was the beginning. And whatever she has become… the supernatural world is already coming for her.

Crimson Moon Awakening

A blood-red moon. One ordinary night. And a world that would never be the same again. After an unforgettable night party, sixteen college friends from Royal Crest University witness a mysterious crimson moon hanging above Asteria City. They dismiss it as a rare celestial event and return home, unaware that their lives have already been chosen by fate. When morning comes, the sun never rises. Darkness blankets the world. The moon is gone. And everything has changed. One by one, strange powers begin awakening within them. Werewolves, vampires, phoenixes, sirens, witches, demons, dragons, and other ancient bloodlines emerge from the shadows of myth. Each power comes with its own gifts, rules, and deadly consequences. But among them is one person who remains ordinary. Trisha Hunters. No powers. No special abilities. Nothing. At least, that's what everyone believes. Unbeknownst to her, Trisha carries a forgotten bloodline older than gods and monsters alike—the power of the Primordial Dragon Phoenix, a legendary existence capable of creation and destruction. Her awakening could either save this dark new world... or reduce it to ashes. As ancient enemies awaken and hidden kingdoms emerge from the darkness, the group is thrust into a dangerous journey filled with betrayal, secrets, romance, and war. At Trisha's side stands her boyfriend, Liam Jackson, a powerful Moon Werewolf who would burn the world before allowing anyone to harm her. But in a realm where monsters wear human faces and destiny demands sacrifices, can love survive when the girl he swore to protect becomes the very being everyone wants to possess, control, or kill? The Blood Moon has risen. The heirs of myth have awakened. And the world without dawn is only the beginning.
