Welcome to Sacred Shields

2021

Souls are meant to pass on. Their existence on this plane is temporary, fleeting. That's where Reapers come in. Slated, Purge, and Lucia Reapers train to perfect the process of finding, filtering, and releasing souls from their hosts when the time comes for them to pass on. It is how it has always been, ensuring order amongst the chaos of the world. But someone is harvesting souls before they can pass on. Stealing them in the night and selling them to the highest bidder. Reaping without mercy. Using their essence as a drug unmatched by any substance on earth. Consumed souls can never find peace or face the justice due to them. A long forgotten prophecy of two special souls sent to guard and protect the world of the reapers suddenly resurfaces. But the forces of the dark will do whatever it takes to protect their plans... even if it means bringing an end to every last Grimm descendant alive. Hidden away at Reaper Academy, two such souls shield everything about themselves to protect a secret they fear could lead to their deaths. Little do they know, they are the key to life in more ways than they could ever imagine. All they have to do is survive The Reapings.

Hidden in the Shadows

2021

Well, I survived my first week at Sacred Shields. Professor Hankins is a walking, talking contradiction. I hope Professor Mountcastle is as sweet as she looks, and Professor Pembre is, well, cool as hell. Jaques, on the other hand, is the devil incarnate. I legitimately might die in Grim Defense Training. Then there’s The Dark Prince. Who knew I’d ever meet someone actually worthy of that name? I thought Nikos was an asshole before, but he’s only gotten worse. Oh! Remember the secret I mentioned before? Yeah, well, let’s just say I got lucky. This time. At this rate, Ty is going to have a coronary at the age of nineteen and the brokenness that has prevented me from leading a normal life all of these years might just win out. A girl can only handle so much, and with mean girls and raging alpha-dongs around every corner, keeping up at Sacred Shields is going to be far more challenging than I could ever have imagined. Hidden in the Shadows is book two of this mini-series starring Matilda & Mathias Graves, twin-tastic reapers with the weight of the worlds on their shoulders. New Releases will be published each month for the duration of the series.

Captured Souls

2021

There is so much Ty and I didn’t know about our world! Why, and how, there came to be three different classes of reapers. How reapers and mages bond. Why reapers even have mages to begin with! Though we always have been, and always will be, best friends as well as twins, we’ve both made strides in giving each other the space to build friendships with others. I don’t think Ty will ever grow out of overprotective, big brother mode though. Especially when it comes to my friendship with Rafe. Ty says there’s something off about him, but all I can see are those broad shoulders, gorgeous eyes, and the coffee he brings me every morning before class. He may be a little over the top, but I think it’s sweet. Plus the attention he gives me doesn't hurt, either. And don’t even get me started on Nikos. Ugh. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with him without getting whiplash. Can anyone spell psycho? When he’s not hounding me and being a total douche-canoe in Grim Defense Training, he’s skulking in the shadows. Not to mention how he disappears for days on end. I will find out where he’s going. And it has nothing to do with why I can’t get the memory of his scent out of my mind. Maybe I will even get to the bottom of why his hard, defined, out-of-this-world hot body keeps frequenting my dreams, like nearly every night. Or why I wake up panting with need, my sheets soaked beneath me from more than just sweat. Is it possible to loathe someone while also having the best fantasies of your life about them? Asking for a friend. Speaking of friends, I have finally settled into life with my girls and spending time with Novalee is really helping me learn more about mages. You know me- knowledge is my happy juice. Or something like that. \\Facepalm\\ Still, I have to keep myself aware. After last time, Ty has made it very clear I can't allow myself to slip even a little, now that we are here. My mission is to learn more about the strange power coursing through my body and how to prevent it from taking over again. After all, it is more than just my life on the line if I get caught. Captured Souls is episode three in this mini-series starring Matilda & Mathias Graves, twin-tastic reapers with the weight of the worlds on their shoulders. New Releases will be published each month for the duration of the series with complete volumes released every few months in ebook, paperback, and KU!

Danger in Delight

2021

Winter is here, bringing with it one of the most terrifying yet exciting moments of my life… The Solstice Ball. Shopping, girl talk, mage bonding, and dating. All normal activities for a young woman my age- well, maybe not the mage bonding but that part I am truly thrilled about. The rest are incredibly intimidating when you’ve led a low-key life like I have. Let’s be honest. I would much rather spend the day with my books than actual people. Unless those people are Novalee & Emilee, my two new besties. Or Ty, my pain-in-the-ass twin who I can’t live without. Or Rafe, the incredibly handsome, sweet campus hottie who only has eyes for me. Shoot, I’m pretty sure I’d be okay hanging with Professor Pembre or Dean Shields, too. But all others? Ick. Human interaction. Especially when it comes to that broody douchecanoe, Nikos. Spending time in his presence drives me crazy. It’s bad enough he has to show up every single night in my dreams, tempting me with his words. Teasing me with his incredibly toned, marked body. Tasting me with his dirty mouth… Where was I? Oh yeah, I really hate Mr. Dark Prince, and with the way he treats me, the feeling is mutual. All in all, my first semester at Sacred Shields has been pretty smooth sailing, and I think I’m really starting to find my rhythm here. I might just get through this without any death or destruction. Famous last words, anyone… Danger in Delight is Episode Four in this mini-series starring Matilda & Mathias Graves, twin-tastic reapers with the weight of the world on their shoulders. New Releases will be published each month for the duration of the series with complete volumes released every few months in ebook, paperback, and KU!
