Jamila Freeman is a teenager just like any other – she gets good grades, hangs out with her friend, Michael, and her Aunt Nellie. She believes in facts, logic, and reason, and doesn’t believe in myths and fairytales – until she finds out she’s descended from Egyptian cat-goddess Bast, and comes from a long line of Bastet women with mythical powers. She navigates new life as she practices her powers of seeing into the future, changing the flow of time, and protecting people and souls. But when an age-old cult called the Toubab’s discover her newfound powers, she must use the help of her Aunt and fellow Bastet, Loni Washington, to develop her powers and defend herself as they hunt her without mercy. She must cast aside everything she’s known to adjust to this new life, and discover a part of herself she’s never seen before – but will she be able to fend for herself, and take on this new form of reality? Or will she fall prey to the predator that looms in the shadows.

Levi finally persuaded his wolf clan to allow him to bond to Ian instead of his predestined female mate. The catch? They have to spend a year apart after the bonding ritual. Then Ian must—using only their newly-forged spiritual connection—seek Levi out, proving the bond actually worked despite Ian being human. Now the year is over, and Levi is desperate to have Ian back in his arms, but there’s one problem—Ian’s changed. In a moment of weakness during that agonizing year apart, Ian cheated… with a vampire. Now Ian himself is a vampire, and a devastated, furious Levi wants nothing to do with him. That is until he learns his clan wants Ian brought to justice for desecrating their most sacred ritual. If they find him, they’ll learn he’s a vampire, and kill him. Afraid for Ian’s safety, Levi rushes to find him. Darius, the vampire who converted Ian, tries to take him someplace safe, but when Levi catches up, all hell breaks loose. Now Ian’s on the run with a dead wolf’s blood on his hands, and the only way Levi or Darius are going to get near him is to work together. They need to get to him before the rest of the clan… assuming they don’t kill each other first. This 118,000 word novel was previously published.
