Paranormal Mercenary Corps

Chelby Duncan never knew who her parents were, or why they gave her up. Chelby's foster father is a retired general who is running for Senate, so joining the army is the natural direction for her to take when she turns eighteen. At the Military Entrance Processing Station, she is given a blood test and discovers that she's not human. She's Fae, and she has second blood type that they can't identify. Warned to run before she is taken by Sector Nine, Chelby flees the MEPS. Her panic leads her to an encounter with Dr. Gould, who gives her his card and tells her that the Paranormal Mercenary Corps can help her. Chelby finds it hard to believe any of this is happening until she returns home and armed men from the mysterious Sector Nine show up to take her away. On the run for her life, Chelby calls Dr. Gould as a last resort. The Director of the Paranormal Military Corps takes her to their headquarters in the Colorado Mountains, where she meets other supernaturals and learns about the Fae powers that were suppressed when she was young. But Sector Nine aren't done with Chelby, and a betrayal awaits her when a training exercise goes awry. Will Chelby overcome the heartbreak that awaits her at the secret facility? Can she master her new powers and break free of Sector Nine's grasp before it's too late?

Chelby has escaped Sector Nine's detention center and avoided execution, but her troubles are only just beginning . . . Her sleep is disturbed by terrifying nightmares of Fae assassins shooting down a blue dragon. As the dragon turns to stone and shatters, Chelby wakes up to a blazing inferno in her room. She lost control-again-and there are consequences. Too many lives are at stake and Chelby is too dangerous to stay in the dormitory. Dr. Gould has no choice but to move her to the therapeutic center until she can master her fire abilities. Banished from her friends and taken out of training, Chelby sees the center as a pretty version of jail. Will she be stuck there indefinitely, or will the continuing revelations about her origins change everything for her? Sector Nine is using the Edinburgh orphanage Chelby lived at while she was a kid as a front to develop super soldiers to hunt down supernaturals. The orphanage is the key to her past, but the only way she can go with her team is to prove to Dr. Gould that she can control her powers. Can Chelby break through the fear holding her back from getting the answers she needs? Or will her family connections get to her first?

Chelby and her team think their troubles with Sector Nine are behind them. They're wrong. Chelby gets a mysterious text from someone named Moon who claims to be in a spy inside Sector Nine. Moon claims there's a spy in the Paranormal Mercenary Corp . . . someone they would least expect. The spy could be one of Chelby's closest friends. Now she doesn't know who to trust, when trust is what she needs to fight Sector Nine's next move. What happened in the secret lab in Scotland? People are acting strangely, as if they're under a spell. To Chelby's horror, her friends keep exploding with anger before falling into comas. If she doesn't find the cure, they'll die. She's convinced that her former foster father has all the answers in his private office. The solution is to break into his house and search his hidden safe. First, Chelby needs to master her glamour. But time is running out for her friends. Chelby can't do this alone. She needs to trust someone, but who?

It's time to get rid of this pounding headache. Chelby must prove her innocence, determine who destroyed her enemy, and face off against the raging armed forces. The Paranormal Mercenary Corp is in peril and Chelby's life is threatened. She finds herself pitted against forces on both sides with only one option. Surrender to the humans. Her decision leads to the revelation of far darker secrets. The identity of the shadowy forces threatening to tear apart the human and supernatural worlds becomes clear. Chelby is forced to act or lose everyone she loves, but she can't do it alone. With time running out and no hope in sight, her search for allies takes her to unexpected places. Will her newfound allies give Chelby the chance to claw back freedom and safety? Or will it be too late to save all that she holds dear?

Bakas absorbing Garrick's powers threatens the survival of both the Unseelie Realm and the Court of Blossoms. Chelby and her team must retrieve two sacred crosses that have been hidden in treacherous locations to counter his grab for power. Their infiltration of the Unseelie Realm is triumphant but becomes costly when their escape is thwarted by Bakas's super-soldiers. Shattered and injured, Chelby's belief in her leadership is shaken. But they can't afford to submit to defeat. The second cross and the fate of their world hangs in the balance. Fueled by their loss and a need for redemption, the team devise a daring plan to retrieve the second cross and unmask a potential traitor. Just when victory is within reach, they are blindsided by an insidious betrayal and must fight to survive a relentless assault. The Court of Blossoms is crumbling, their allies have been captured or injured, and all hope seems lost. But hope often glimmers brightest in the darkest moments. An unexpected ally arrives, igniting resilience the team didn't know they possessed. Chelby's fight is not over. It's only just begun. With newfound resolve and rediscovered strength, the team prepares for the final battle. Will they save their realm from Bakas? Can they stand and fight, no matter the cost to themselves?

The ultimate battle beckons, Chelby and Bakas, a contest of dragons in violet and shadow. The echoes of their past clash reverberate; he once held dominion. Now, Chelby harbors a secret weapon, but can it be potent enough to vanquish him? Bakas is ascending to power, seeking the presidency and eliminating his adversaries without remorse. The responsibility to halt his advancement lies with Chelby and her stalwart team. Empowered by the Terra Moruorum Cross and the Heart of the Fae, Bakas weaves sinister enchantments, ensnaring humans and supernaturals alike. Those who dare to challenge him face dire consequences. A chilling threat hangs over Chelby-sabotage his plans, and he'll target a loved one. The potential victims? Jonas, her father, or Dr. Gould. But his choice will remain unknown until the final, dreadful moment. Chelby grapples with a devastating decision-sacrifice the mission, or a cherished one. Will she have what it takes to thwart Bakas and protect those she holds dear? Is her strength sufficient, her will indomitable?
