beyond comprehension.

2014/2015

Isis, future queen of Coral City, lives a
fairytale life and loves it all the way down to the last
preordained detail. Others might resent a life so structured, but
Isis thrives on knowing she was born to marry Set, bear his
children, and spend her days reigning over the world she loves.

When the flaws deeply embedded within her
enchanted world begin to surface and war threatens her kingdom,
Isis realizes her dreams may never come true… that there may not be
a world to rule if her enemies have anything to say about it.
Determined to fulfill her destiny, protect her family, and preserve
her city's peaceful state, Isis petitions to become a frontline
soldier in the Underwater War.

General Coeus—Set's twin brother and a man
who hates everything Isis is fighting to protect—reluctantly agrees
to train and prepare her for the battle. Early on, she wonders
whether his training methods will kill her before she ever steps
the first foot onto the battleground.

As war grows closer and the preparation
sessions between Coeus and her become more intense, Isis's visions
for her picture-perfect life turn upside down, and she begins
doubting everything she has ever been told. With Coeus's
declaration of undying love, she understands that a life filled
with love and happiness—rather than friendship and duty—is the only
one worth dying for.

2014/2015

The brooding Coeus, twin brother to Set,
hates the life he is forced to live. Making him even more
rebellious is the fact that Apollo, his ruler and father, is
intolerant of anyone who questions his antiquated customs…
especially when that person is his very own son.

As the youngest twin, Coeus missed the honor
of becoming the future ruler by seconds. He does not begrudge his
brother's destiny. He does, however, resent the fact that Set's
status as the oldest automatically makes him the man who will marry
Isis, the most beautiful woman in Coral City and the only woman
Coeus has ever loved.

In defiance of his father and their Piscean
traditions, Coeus refuses to marry his betrothed. Furious, Apollo
sends him to the frontlines of the Underwater War. Coeus, who has a
death wish, welcomes the chance to die for his kingdom because he
knows death would at least be honorable.

The last thing Coeus expects to find in the
middle of the battle zone is Isis, but she is there, leading by
example and fighting hard to protect Coral City and its customs.
After spending time with her and falling even deeper in love, Coeus
decides to make her see what he sees… A life where they are
together is the only one worth living for.

Emily Riddle has lived her entire nineteen
years inside a patriarchal commune led by her father and her
stepbrothers. There are more rules than she cares to admit, but the
most important one,
keep it in the
commune
, is the one most difficult for her to abide by…
especially since the only people willing to champion her cause live
on the outside.

When Emily learns her father and brothers
have promised her to Lorenzo, a man she despises down to her core,
she rebels. No matter the consequences, she refuses to marry
someone who'd rather beat her than caress her.

A day of hooky that starts out as a tiny act
of defiance—sneaking out of the commune for a swim—soon turns into
the best day of her life. After spending time with Levi, a man
camping near the lake, she finds what true romance looks like and
catches a glimpse into a future that's filled with love and
admiration rather than hate and submission.

That tiny peek is enough to change the
course of Emily's existence and makes it nearly impossible for her
to go back to the commune and pretend she will ever be able to
tolerate a life chosen for her rather than the life she longs for.
One that includes Levi.

Fighting to escape the commune, its leaders,
and her fiancé proves to be more dangerous than Emily ever
expected. The secrets she knows, as the commune leader's daughter,
will either follow her to her grave or send her,
and Levi
, there.

Betrayal and loss have changed Emily Riddle
in ways she never thought possible. With a death wish guiding her
every move, she's willing to compromise her morals, ethics, and
instincts to bring to justice the men who've broken her heart… even
if that means living a life underground, being someone she's not,
and pretending to respect the very men she's positioning herself to
take down.

As soon as she teams up with the district
attorney, Tope Bryson, and agrees to be a member of his covert
operation, she returns to the commune and convinces the patriarchal
leaders she is the most qualified person to take on roles
traditionally assigned to men. Desperate and without options, Owen,
the commune's leader and Emily's father, agrees to a temporary
change.
