К. Н. Кроуфорд — библиография

Exiled from the Shadow Fae, I'm left out on London's streets. The Knights of the Institute are dying of the plague, and they're sure I'm to blame. Desperate to speak to Ruadan, I invade the Institue. Then, things take a turn for the worse. Like, "tortured in a tiny prison cell" worse. Seems like Ruadan has completely betrayed me. But when I finally reunite with my dark demigod, it turns out I'd totally misunderstood his actions. Once I'm out of jail, Ruadan and I have to fix this mess, and we're thrown together once again. That means finding my father, and killing Baleros before the monster gets what he's after: the skin off Ruadan's corpse. If Baleros gets what he wants, then he'll control the world, and I'll lose Ruadan forever.

As a Knight of the Shadow Fae, I’m tasked with defending the Institute. I’m deep into a world of dark magic, orgiastic death cults, and demon roller discos. But my new life begins with an impossible choice: turn over Ruadan within twenty-four hours, or my nemesis will unleash the Black Death. Worse, my old gladiator master is threatening to reveal my identity. If the truth gets out, I’ll be out of the Institute faster than you can say "wrath of an incubus." If I can't find and kill my oldest enemy in time, then it's the Black Death for everyone, and I’ll be back on the run once more.

I would not say things are going well, exactly. I live in a burnt-out car under a bridge, surrounded by rubbish. When Ruadan shows up to bring me back to the Institute, I leap at the chance. That is, until he throws me into the dungeons. I’m on the naughty list, and the mentor who once trained me is cold as ice. Now, I must pass every single trial, or the Institute’s executioners will rip me to pieces. Good thing I can handle it. I was the queen of the gladiator ring, and I do not go down easily. This book is from the Demons of Fire and Night world.

A girls' night out means three things to me: drinking whiskey with my best friend, keeping my magic hidden, and trying not to kill anyone. A supernatural gladiator like me isn’t supposed to exist anymore. But my Friday night takes a bad turn when a lethally gorgeous fae--Ruadan--tries to assassinate me. He's taken a vow of silence until he’s slaughtered the outlaws on his kill list. Outlaws like me. Ruadan lets me live on one condition: I have to earn my place at the Institute of the Shadow Fae. As a powerful demi-fae, I can take the competition. But things fall apart when I’m given an impossible choice: betray my mentor Ruadan, or my best friend dies. Now, I face a quandary my gladiatorial past did not prepare me for. This book is from the Demons of Fire and Night world.

Ursula hadn't expected to return to the Shadow Realm a prisoner, but at least the dungeon reunites her with her old mentor, Kester. That's only a small consolation when she learns the horrific plans of a shadowy demigod. Plans that involve her.In order to fight back, she must find her fiancé, Bael. Together, they've got to steal Excalibur from the world's most powerful dragon-shifter.On her journey, her shocking past is revealed, and Ursula finally learns the truth about herself. But she needs to stay focused. Because if the demigod gets his way with her-the world will come under his nefarious control, and Ursula will be lost in the void forever.

Ursula may have escaped the Shadow Realm, but things are worse in New York. Kester is missing, and the city is under siege by a legion of dragons. There's a bounty on Ursula's head - alive or dead, and the dragons prefer the latter. Ursula flees back to England, searching for the hidden island of Avalon, barely staying ahead of the bloodthirsty monsters. To make things worse, she learns a dark truth about herself more terrible than she could possibly imagine. But with the powerful shadow demon Bael by her side, Ursula must focus on finding the one weapon that can fight the dragons-the sword Excalibur. If she fails, the dragons will destroy civilization completely.

"Remember the darkness. Only the darkness will save you." As part of a deal with the god of night, Ursula is sent to the Shadow Realm. There, she must live in the forbidding palace of an ancient night demon. Granted--he seems to hate her. But he's easy on the eyes, powerful as hell, and he's supposed to keep her safe. But all that changes when the god of night chooses Ursula to fight for him in series of trials. Now, she must vanquish a horde of lethal demons, one at a time. Worse--she may have to battle her own guardian, who has centuries of slaughter on his side. And only one can survive. In order to live, Ursula must learn to fight like a brutal shadow demon, and resist the dark temptations of the realm. If she fails, the god of night will drag her down into hell with him.

Ursula has forgotten her past. Too bad her past won't return the favor. Ursula can't remember a single thing before three years ago, so she has to keep her life simple. All she wants is to earn enough money for rent--and maybe a bit left over for a new pair of boots. But on her eighteenth birthday, all hell breaks loose... quite literally... when a hellhound shifter shows up in her kitchen. Kester's lethally gorgeous, and he's come with a terrifying message: Ursula owes her soul to the goddess of fire. No one seems to care that she doesn't remember striking that deal. Thrust in the middle of a war between the demons of fire and…

After the Seelie king Torin nearly froze me to death, I plunged through a portal into my true home. Turns out, my hometown is a wild Unseelie kingdom known as the Court of Sorrows. When Torin follows me and sees my new horns, he quickly realizes that his intended bride is an enemy of his realm. In fact, his name for my kind is "demon." But even if I have the horns of an Unseelie, I'm not welcome here, either. Queen Mab and her monstrous soldiers are delighted to torment us, accusing me of being a traitor. If we want to get out of the Court of Sorrows with our lives, the only hope we have is to stay as close to each other as possible--even if it means fleeing in horseback and sharing a bed. Every moment is bittersweet, since it could be our last--and Torin is condemned to kill anyone he loves.

On the worst birthday of my life, I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, I’m drunk, homeless, and pledging to stay single forever. And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town, looking for fae like me. Every generation, the king holds a competition for Seelie queen. But for reasons he won’t explain, Torin is looking for a charade, not a real marriage. So when I drunkenly sling insults his way, I have his attention. When Torin offers me fifty million to participate, I think, “What have I got to lose?” The answer turns out to be “my life,” because my competition will literally kill for the crown. And the more time I spend with the seductive king, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all supposed to be fake. Now, my life—and my heart—are on the line.

Once, Orion and I were lovers. Then, the gorgeous demon king broke my heart. He kicked me out of the City of Thorns, exiling me to the mortal world. Now, I have plans to get back at him--and save the world while I'm at it. Orion wants revenge on all the mortals. If I steal his crown, I can stop the bloodshed. All I have to do is beat him in a series of trials, proving that the gods chose me as queen. But Orion seems determined to seduce me with his apologies and sensual charm. And the fact is? He's hard to resist. In the City of Thorns, nothing is ever as it seems, but figuring out who to trust is the most important trial of all.…

I never thought I'd be singing happy birthday to myself in a dungeon. And yet when a sinfully sexy demon crashes happy hour, that's exactly what happens. He’s known as the Lord of Chaos, he’s mistaken me for my succubus doppelgänger. Happy birthday to me. When he tastes my blood, he finally understands I’m mortal. And I realize we have something in common: we both crave revenge. So we make a deal: I can stay in the forbidden city to hunt for my mom's killer. In return, I’ll help him get the vengeance he craves. I just have to pose as a sexy succubus. One problem--he's my number one suspect. And that’s increasingly hard to remember as he teaches me my role: seduction. With each heated touch I drift further into peril. And if I fall under his seductive spell, death awaits me.

Ангел смерти запер меня в комнате своего замка, в окружении книг и вкусной еды. Неплохо, да? Если не принимать в расчёт одиночество и полные похоти сны, мучающие меня каждую ночь. А именно: сны о Самаэле. И я упоминала психопатичного призрака, который упорно пытается меня убить? Потому что никто мне не верит, когда я об этом говорю.
Теперь я отчаянно мечтаю выбраться из замка и выследить убийц из Свободного Народа, которые и привели меня к заточению. Самаэль тоже хочет их уничтожить. У нас одна цель, но мы не доверяем друг другу. Когда недоверие сменяется страстью, ситуация лишь усложняется.
Вопреки нашим чувствам, нам суждено быть врагами. Если мы не сможем переписать свои судьбы, то потеряем друг друга навеки... и один из нас умрёт.

Ангел смерти хочет сделать меня своей женой. Обычно я обворовываю корабли, чтобы добыть себе пропитание. Не гламурно, знаю, но это честная работа. Ладно, уговорили. И не честная тоже, но так я добываю себе еду.
Пока однажды ночью грешно сексуальный ангел не входит в моё любимое заведение и не убеждает меня работать на него. Но это не простая работа. Он хочет, чтобы я стала его женой в Замке Аида. Судя по всему, его пророческие сны гласят, что я помогу ему стать королём.
Каким бы красивым он ни был, он также смертоносный тиран. И мне может грозить опасность. К счастью, я знаю, как дать отпор, как ослабить ангела: я должна соблазнить его.
Итак, битва началась, и он — мой прекрасный враг. Мы сражаемся на оружии желания и оба рискуем потерять себя в этой войне.

Я борюсь со своей злобной стороной — демоницей, известной как Лилит — и только Самаэль может мне помочь. К сожалению, он считает, что мы опасны друг для друга просто потому, что в прошлой жизни убили друг друга. И хуже того, он верит, что должен жениться на смертной, чтобы уберечь меня. На натурально ужасной смертной женщине, позвольте добавить.
Но Свободный Народ набирает силу, и мы должны объединиться, чтобы остановить их армию зла. Пока мы путешествуем по Альбии в поисках их людей, нас ещё ближе тянет друг к другу желанием и нашей извращённой любовью.
Насколько я могу сказать, случится одно из двух: либо мы преодолеем наше прошлое и вместе победим Свободный Народ, либо наша тёмная история превратит нас в монстров, которые раздерут друг друга на куски. Я надеюсь на первый вариант.
