A L TYLER - WALDGRAVE SERIES

 

What would you do if you found out that you were a stolen child?

Raised to believe that the entire world was her home and to respect the many cultures around her, Lena Collins never expected to find herself a key figure in a political war.

When a train accident sends Lena to live at the Waldgrave property with her shadowy uncle, it isn’t long before she begins to suspect that she hasn’t received the whole truth about her extended family.

Family portraits have been removed from the walls, areas of the house are off limits, and some rooms even seem to have been walled off completely. No one wants to talk to her, especially where the subject concerns her relatives. Even Uncle Howard refuses to discuss his life beyond his familial connection with his niece.

That is, until one day when the grounds keeper tell her that she was stolen as child from the maternal half of her family, who are powerful religious and political figures in a hidden community of telepaths. However, due to their conflicted status in the world of the Silenti telepaths, the Darays have been hunted and assassinated to near extinction. Lena is now the last in the family line.

They want Lena back, even if it kills her.

Brought into a world she knows nothing about, Lena Collins finds herself in an untrustworthy situation when she learns she is a member of the Daray family, and a holy figure to half of the Silenti people on Earth; unfortunately, the other half of the Silenti believe that the Darays will one day bring disease, disaster, and death to the world. Set on clearing her name and earning freedom from the oppression of religious worship and political mistrust, she decides to locate the powerful, missing holy relic that so many people have feared and revered in order to permanently disarm the Daray family line. However, as she tries to map the past to find the relic, she learns a surprising secret that could send the Silenti spiraling into chaos and destruction.

A L TYLER

 

Annie Hawthorn's life is a living hell. She's about to graduate from high school in beautiful Bellmoral, Colorado, but she's caught the eye of the campus mean girl. In order to get back at her, Annie unleashes a little hell of her own when she discovers her late aunt’s grimoire.

Now that there's a demon on the loose, things aren't so funny. Annie's best friend has been turned into a cat. She's doing her homework in hell. Her after school job at the greenhouse is punctuated by frequent demonic interruptions.

But it's worse than that, because Charlie, the demon, claims that her aunt isn't dead, and she owes him a debt. And until Annie can find her, he's holding her life ransom.

Annie Hawthorn's life has been dreadfully normal since she moved into her new college apartment. Well...there is the matter of her best friend, Gates, who's still a cat.

Charlie, the demon who cursed her, hasn't been seen since before graduation. Annie isn't sure if that's a gift or a curse in itself, because Charlie is the only one who can help her.

But Charlie is about to return. He needs a favor. And this time, he's bringing an old enemy with him.

There's a werewolf at the door and a demon on the loose.

Annie's life hasn't slowed down since Charlie returned, and now Stark is back. He wants to fight.

Stark has turned an old friend into a new adversary. Annie and Lyssa are going to have to decide how to deal with the werewolf on their doorstep, and fast.

But luckily for the Hawthorn sisters, one of Kendra's old friends has turned up to help them. Her name is Martha, and she swears she's just here to help. Stark doesn't scare her...

And that fact alone has Charlie very, very worried.

Kendra is back, and she's brought her drama with her.

Fresh off of a victory against Stark, and having finally won the freedom to return to her college life, Annie isn't happy to have her back. She has Gates, Vince, and her classes, and she doesn't need demons and witches stepping in to confuse things again.

But vampires have followed Kendra back to the small town of Bellmoral, Colorado, and they have an interest in the Hawthorn family grimoire.

They have a special interest in Annie and Lyssa, too, but that's a secret that Kendra hopes she'll never have to share...

For recent hapless witch Annie Hawthorn, things are getting complicated.

Old family grudges created by her loose cannon of an aunt have taken over her life. Her sister's family has gone into paranormal witness protection. Her best friend Gates, who isn't even a witch, is better at magic than she is. Her werewolf ex wants to be back in her life.

The evil vampire who's after them is tightening his grip on the family, and soon they'll have no escape. Draven keeps getting insider information on the Hawthorns, and no one knows how. His spy is about to be revealed.

And just as the Hawthorns build their stronghold, war will threaten to tear everything apart.

Bodies are going missing from the local cemeteries, and Kendra knows where they're going to show up.

Ever since angering her estranged uncle, life has become more and more claustrophobic for teen witch Annie Hawthorn. Trapped by floods in the greenhouse, she and her family have been dodging capture and murder attempts for months. But with an ex-lover on her trail, her best friend turning against her, and her sister slowly losing her mind, things are about to come to a head.

The dead will rise, the living will fall, and Charlie will finally be forced to face his past.
