The Gates of Avaelon
When Melissa was five years old she had a secret- she had a fairy for a best friend. But travel between our world and Avaelon, the world of the Fae, is only possible once every seven years, and the two were forced to say goodbye. They promised to meet again in seven years, but when he arrived to keep that promise, Zakkaerion was heartbroken to discover that Melissa had moved away. Fourteen years after their first meeting Melissa finally returns to her childhood home-but like most humans upon reaching adulthood-can no longer see him. Knowing that his time on Earth will be short, Zakk is desperate to renew contact. To Aiden, his impulsive companion, the answer is simple; using a magical object called a dreamthorn will allow a human to once again see all Fae. Zakk hesitates, but Aiden makes the decision for him. Though furious at his friend, the problem has been solved; Melissa can once again see him. Joy turns to confusion however, when the young woman reacts to the sight of him with terror, and denies ever knowing him as a child!
The Trials of Avaelon
After being rescued from a nearly fatal plunge into an icy river, Melissa must reunite with a distraught Zakkaerion and finally complete their mission to find the wise woman Alluenyah in hopes of getting clues on how to stop the wicked renegade General Darrakorr. This meeting however, proves to be only the first step in a much longer journey. In order to accomplish his goal of merging Earth and Avaelon together, Darrakorr must acquire all six of the fabled dreamthorns- magical objects created centuries before with the power to pierce the veil between the two worlds. Accompanied by Naidra, the serpentine fae who saved her life, as well as her childhood friend Joanie who she soon discovers also became trapped in Avaelon before the gates between the realms were sealed, Melissa and her band of companions must race against time to beat Darrakorr and his followers to the remaining dreamthorns...all the while keeping their true identities a secret from outsiders; for no humans are allowed in the world of the fae. Through it all she must confront her deepening feelings for Zakkaerion; the young fae lord she once thought was only her best friend. The many trials the young woman and her friends face will ultimately result in a love that will be tested by unexpected rivals, danger, and perhaps even the end of both their worlds if they should fail in their quest.
Blood Dawn
Twenty four years have passed since Blood Dawn- the event where vampires not only revealed their existence to humanity, but conquered entire nations. Some countries like America were lucky enough to wrest free of their attempted coup, but have been plagued with dismally high murder rates ever since. Lilith was literally made to be a killer herself- but of vampires, not humans. The first of her kind; a genetically engineered hybrid combining the superior physical attributes of a lycanthrope with the formidable psychic gifts of a vampire. She spends her days working under a human alias as the head of security at the local office of Genesis Industries- the wealthy, secretive corporation that created Lilith and the others like her. Like Lilith, Detective William Buchanan is all-too familiar with leading a double life. Once an ordinary police officer, he now serves as a member of the December City night squad; a secret team of officers specifically trained to hunt down and kill vampires. His routine is disrupted when his squad is loaned out to another city and he is made the leader of a disparate group of new recruits. Long suspicious of Genesis Industries and their supposedly noble goals, his most recent efforts to investigate the company had been thwarted by his own chief of police. But although the presence of a skilled hacker on his new team presents an opportunity to resume it, a much more pressing matter soon demands his attention. A vampire's body winds up in the city morgue; a vampire that has been drained of blood and marked by what appear to be the claws of a giant bird.

As she’s drawn ever deeper into the secret world of magic and Fae, she wrestles with the dilemma of whether or not to tell her parents about her new life. But it’s not long before she has far more to worry about. Her arrival in Scotland sets a series of events in motion that will change her forever; bringing with it new friends, love, and danger.
