Annette Marie Synopses: Red Winter is the first book in Annette Marie’s Red Winter Trilogy series. Emi is the kamigakari. Soon her life as a mortal will end, and she will become the human host of a goddess. Hidden from those who would destroy her, she has prepared her mind, body, and soul for this destiny – never once doubting it.

Shiro is a yokai, a spirit of the earth and an enemy of the goddess Emi, who is destined to host. His ruby eyes shine with cunning she can’t match, and yet she saved his life. Until his debt is repaid, he is hers to command – whether she wants him or not.

When they meet, Emi’s beliefs unravel. For the first time, she wants to change her fate – but how can she escape a destiny already written in stone? Against the gods’ power, Shiro is her only hope, and hope is all she has left.

The Night Realm by Annette Marie is book one of the Spell Weaver series. Clio can mimic magic – a rare gift that lands her on a dangerous mission: steal spells from the Underworld’s deadliest family. But instead of just magic, she ends up stealing their spell weaver.

As a nymph in exile, Clio has learned to survive among humans, but navigating the Underworld and its deadly inhabitants is another story. Her biggest challenge? Lyre, a sinfully alluring incubus and master spell weaver, who keeps saving her life even though they’re supposed to be enemies.

With monsters hiding behind beautiful faces and chaos at every turn, Clio’s mission is spiralling out of control – and in the Underworld, one mistake could be fatal.

Annette Marie’s Chase the Dark is the first Steel & Stone book. Piper Griffiths has one goal: become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. But three things stand in her way.

First, Lyre – incubus, hotter than hell, and determined to get under her skin…literally. Second, Ash – draconian, powerful, terrifyingly attractive, and full of secrets. And third, the Sahar Stone – a stolen magical weapon of mass destruction, with Piper left to take the fall.

Now she’s on the run, every daemon in the city after her, and the only allies she has are two wildly untrustworthy daemons.

Taming Demons for Beginners is the first book in the Guild Codex: Demonized series by Annette Marie. Rule one: Don’t look at the demon. Rule two: Don’t listen to the demon. Rule three: Don’t talk to the demon.

When she arrives at her uncle’s house, she expects to find relatives who are outcast sorcerers, harmless and inactive. She’s right about the magic—but wrong about everything else. Her uncle traffics in dark powers, binding creatures of darkness and selling them to the highest bidder.

All she has to do is mind her own business. She doesn’t. And now it’s too late.
