Transformation
Summary
Nyssa is lost in the throes of revenge. She wants Baron dead - deader than dead, really. With Cecil still fighting to live and the unknowns looming over her, Nyssa isn't sure what is up and what is down any longer. She does know one thing though. She's tired of the games. The shifters, witches, mages, and vampires need to get their shit together, or she will do it for them. She doesn't care if they destroy themselves, as long as they take Baron along with them. Revenge is a dangerous game that many don't survive. Will Nyssa lose herself to its clutches, or will she rise above? Time is ticking for her. The only question is: Will she continue to be a survivor?

Scalding Hot Chocolate
Summary
Adulting should be illegal. I’m a woman who adores childish things. I prefer being called Maddie over Madison. I like frilly dresses, tickle fights, hot chocolate, coloring, and swing sets. I avoid adulting like I do broccoli, and my therapist says that’s okay. We all have our hobbies. I think my therapist is full of it, but he hasn’t steered me wrong, yet. At least, I don’t think he has. So, what am I supposed to do when tragedy hits my family once again, and I’m left with twins? Well, I adapt. If I have anything good going for me, it’s that I’m a river, ever-flowing. Plus, rivers have waterfalls and rainbows. I like waterfalls and rainbows. But now, I need to adult fast because having two tiny things relying on me is hard. I have to be - dare I say it - responsible. Ick. I hate that word. Just when I think I’m getting a routine down with my adorable twins, I’m faced with new problems. My stepmonster is out to get me again. She likes to think she can prove a point, but I’m older now. I won’t let her stomp on me anymore. She better prepare for a fight. And apparently, I have three men on my side. They’re willing to prove they’ll help me. I’ll believe them the day I finally see the elusive unicorn. But they’re there, and I can’t stop blabbering like an idiot long enough to tell them to go away. Don’t worry. I got this. I think.

Emergence
Summary
Woodlands is where city-dwellers go to die if they're dumb enough, and where those who can't live among the populace stay to remain hidden. As a child, Nyssa entered the Woodlands, forced into them by a past she can't remember. Years later, she is dragged out of them as an adult with no concept of what it means to be "normal". Armed with a new witch bestie who refuses to leave her alone, Nyssa slowly begins building a life for herself in Teragona. Aside from a fractured past, Nyssa's life has been smooth sailing for the past six years. With her ultra-cool job as a gate-hopper for the Department of Supernatural Transit, her life has just enough excitement to keep it interesting. That is until the abnormalities begin and more gates than usual appear around the city. A Big Baddie has decided he wants revenge. And while Nyssa is more than happy to sit aside while he attacks the three major factions of shifters, witches, and mages, the moment it becomes personal, all bets are off. If there is one thing Nyssa remembers from the scattered fragments of her past, it's how to kill. She's determined to make him regret crossing her. She doesn't care if the city burns to the ground, it won't stop her revenge. The real question is: Will she burn with the city, or will she be the one left standing among the ashes?
