About this series
Spirits of plague infest the world in this new adult paranormal romance by the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of the House of Night series.
Alek, the immortal son of the Furies, has been charged with recapturing the souls of the damned who have escaped the torment of Tartarus and invaded the Mortal Realm. He is joined by Eva, a young woman who has discovered that she is both blessed and cursed with powers beyond comprehension. But the challenges these two heroes face are far more dangerous than they ever imagined.
The Nosoi—spirits of plague—have been unleashed on the Mortal Realm, bringing with them an insidiously adaptable pandemic. Eva has yet to harness the abilities needed to defeat such a powerful enemy, and Alek sustains catastrophic wounds in the attempt. Now they must rely on detective James Graham, and Eva’s best friend Bridget, if they are to even slow the plague’s spread. But can mere mortals come through in the face of such overwhelming peril?
"One of the greatest paranormal books in a while, Scarlet Rain’s characters are incredibly well developed and its plot is explosive. You’ll be up all night reading this thrilling story."—RT Book Reviews

- Amber Smoke
From the #1 New York Times–bestselling co-author of the House of Night series—a new saga “with a unique twist on Greek mythology and heart-stopping action” (#1 New York Times–bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout). In a world parallel to our own, the souls of the damned are caged, spending eternity in a torment that mirrors the suffering they created in life. They are watched over by the Furies . . . until something goes terribly wrong. Someone has opened the cage. When untold terrors cross into our world, the Furies send a great, albeit untested warrior—their only son, Alek—to bring those souls back. Alek is young and handsome, headstrong and impulsive, and he won’t be able to do it alone. Eva has grown up beautiful and beloved, but surrounded by secrets. Now, after being hunted in an ancient feud that threatens her life, she will become the hunter. With the police closing in and two worlds on the verge of crumbling, Alek and Eva must find each other, discover the limits of their powers, and work together to save everything they hold dear—including one another. “With the perfect mix of thrills and chills, along with characters who pop off the page and a gripping plot, this explosive new series is perfect for any Hunger Games and Divergent fans.” —RT Book Review “Amber Smoke keeps you riveted to the very last page.” —Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Thrilling and funny with just the right amount of magic. Brilliant!” —Kresley Cole, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Cast’s wit, creativity and talent shine! I turned the pages at lightning speed, ready for more! What a tasty treat!” —Gena Showalter, New York Times–bestselling author
