Caged by Damnation (Caged #2)(87)

I focused on my memories, recalling the times those I knew had been stricken, while I had been too weak to help them. Thinking back, I felt ashamed of my time hiding in the shed within the woods, after Asmodeus terrorized me. I hadn't stood my ground, but waited for everyone else to find me and coax me back from shock.

I despised the feeble version of myself that believed I couldn't be my own warrior. I had strength at my core and power burning through my cells. I could do this.

I was meant to come here, to find my hidden self, and allow the Fury that had built inside me to rise within. It was time that I take my place as a Hellhound.

I am the Fury that would avenge the weak. I had been born with my own soul, but was strengthened by the strongest of those who had been corrupted. Night would be my guide and my howl, a signal to invoke terror amongst the betrayers. Mercy was my gift and vengeance the curse I could lay upon others.

Breath was no longer denied to me. I pulled the cool blanket in and sent it soaring throughout the domain, as I accepted my true self. The howl echoed, bouncing against each wall before seeking the threshold and spreading through the night. It found my sisters and I heard their call. I am Willow. I am Fury, Hellhound, and most importantly, I am Alpha.





Caged in Spirit (Caged: Book 3)

The nine hells are circling their prey. Savannah's friends have no choice but to flee, placing their lives in the hands of those they thought to be the least trustworthy. The war of the heavens is upon them and the truth of Savannah's conception may shake the foundation of all.

Blood is on their hands, the stench of decay corrupts everything they come into contact with and the betrayal of one of their own is imminent. It acts as a cloud over their heads; an infection sinking through to their souls.

What they thought they knew was a deception, calculated to draw their eyes away from what is important. How can they accept one another, when even their reflection is marred with imperfections, created by a mirage of lies.

The Draconian's, Hellhounds, and covens must put aside their differences to prevent pools of blood and chaos. The differences of these individuals may make or break their spirits.



A cry of war, the sound of battle.

The group of friends must find their mettle.

A prophecy rings through the night,

of the one who has the sight.

A melody has played a tune,

someone will come to claim them soon.

Bloodshed and chaos, a trail of grief The beginning of the end will rise from beneath!





Death's Leash (Hellhounds: Book 1)

The myth is wrong… Death is only a man, but one who has control over all living beings. He chooses who will live or die. He commands the fates and gives the order to cut the thread of life. However, Death isn’t alone.

In the beginning of time, he realized that it would be impossible for a single figure to wield power over life and death, while still having time to punish the wicked. Death summoned the tainted souls of the dead and from them created a race of females. They would be the takers of souls, the guardians of the afterlife, and the harbingers of death.

They are Death’s Hellhounds. Wild, impulsive, and terrifying, these sisters have a solitary goal: to hunt down unspeakable evils. When Death calls his Hellhounds to embark on the Wild Hunt, they must forsake their humanity to consume the most depraved souls in existence. Six remain in the veil between life and death, but step through the threshold when Death calls.

Kali has spent her immortal life avoiding attachment. She hides her true self from all but her sisters. When Death gives her an assignment to hunt a rogue angel, she must confront the one man who places her heart in danger. Alone, she must face an enemy too powerful for a solitary Hellhound and find a way to break Death’s leash.



When wicked souls turn from the light,

And baying calls ring through the night.

Face your end or turn to flee,

For Death’s Hellhounds have come for thee!
