The Golden Lycan Series is an expanding romantic fantasy series set in a world much like our own - except humans aren't the only ones living in it. Across several interconnected books, one family's story unfolds through love, destiny, heritage and power, as the choices of one generation shape the world inherited by the next. And it all begins with Ella. Ella believes she is human. Arriving at a new school, she expects the usual challenges of finding her place. Instead, she quickly gets the feeling that something else is hiding beneath the surface. Strange rules. Stranger behaviour. And an entire world seemingly operating around her that she was never supposed to notice. Because the school isn't what it appears to be. Hidden amongst its human students are Lycans, protected by powerful enchantments designed to ensure ordinary people never see their supernatural world for what it really is. Except the enchantments don't work on Ella. The more she sees, the more impossible one question becomes to ignore. Why? Austin Landry should probably be asking questions of his own. As the future Alpha of the third-largest pack in the country, he has been raised knowing that thousands of lives will one day become his responsibility. One day being the important part. For now, responsibility feels comfortably distant, and there is still plenty of time to find the mate he is destined to lead beside. Then a neighbouring pack is wiped out. With a mysterious enemy emerging from the shadows and threatening to destroy more, Austin's future comes hurtling towards him. His people need him to become the man they always expected him to be. Unfortunately, he is increasingly distracted by the one person he should have no reason to want. Ella. Human. Impossible. And definitely not the mate his instincts should be searching for. As Ella uncovers the truth of her heritage and Austin begins to understand the weight of his, both will be forced to confront what it means to inherit power - and what they owe to the people who trust them with it. Because power is not simply something to possess. It is something to respect. And somewhere in the history of Austin's family lies an old name. The Golden Lycans. A story passed down through generations. A legend belonging to another age. A myth most have long since stopped believing could ever be real. But as an unknown enemy begins threatening the very foundations of the supernatural community, old stories may hold more truth than anyone realised. And an ancient myth might be exactly what their world needs to survive...

Lyra Grey has spent her life being underestimated. An orphaned gamma with no family name, no inheritance, and no place to call home beyond the walls of Exton College, she has fought for everything she has. Now, in her final year, she's finally earned the respect she's worked so hard for. Until Joshua Landry comes back into her life. Arrogant, powerful, and born into the most influential Lycan family in Britain, Joshua is the last person Lyra wants anything to do with. He humiliated her, called her worthless, and left her hospitalised after a combat match that went too far. Then, on her eighteenth birthday, the Goddess delivers the cruellest possible twist. Joshua Landry is her destined mate. Lyra rejects him without hesitation. But unknown to Lyra, Joshua doesn't reject her back... He knows what he did. He knows he doesn't deserve her forgiveness. Yet the arrogant boy Lyra remembers is no longer quite the man standing before her, and Joshua is determined to prove it. As forced proximity gives way to reluctant friendship, every argument, stolen glance and unexpected moment of tenderness threatens the certainty of Lyra's rejection. Joshua wants her, but refuses to take what she isn't willing to give. And Lyra begins to wonder whether the bond she rejected might lead to something she never believed she could have. A love she chooses for herself. But while Joshua fights to become worthy of his family's extraordinary legacy, Lyra's own past is beginning to unravel. Someone is searching for a girl who disappeared years ago. Someone else is determined she must never be found. And as mysterious attacks draw closer to Exton, Lyra finds herself at the centre of a danger she cannot explain, while the truth about who she really is threatens to change everything. Two lost heirs. One rejected bond. And a destiny neither of them can claim without first discovering who they are. Because the Goddess may have chosen them for each other. But love is a choice only they can make. ------------ ***This is part of my Golden Lycans universe, but you do not have to have the others to enjoy this! However if you have read the others, consider this book four, as it begins straight after book 3❤️***

"It is easier for our eyes to see what is in the shadows when we aren't bathed in light," Amoya says, looking at me with concern. I shake my head at her a little. "That's an odd thing to say, because shadows only exist because of light, Amoya," I reply. "Yes. But you see, Ophelia...that's exactly the problem..." ---------------------------------------------------- Ophelia Landry was born to be extraordinary—so why does she feel so broken? As the heir to the most powerful Lycan pack and the daughter of a celebrated Fae, Ophelia should command magic, shift beneath the full moon, and shine with divine light. Instead, she’s eighteen, powerless, wolfless, and quietly unraveling under the weight of expectations she can’t meet. But everything changes when she arrives at Vale Institute—a university unlike any other—where her anonymity grants her space to breathe for the first time. Among her eclectic new roommates is Ares, a mysterious, socially awkward student with a mind like a library and a past cloaked in shadows. As Ophelia and Ares grow closer, their friendship stirs something dormant inside her—something that could change everything. Together, they must uncover what lies beneath their respective missing pieces and the ancient forces at play. Can love spark the light she’s been missing? Or was she never meant to stay in the shadows? --------------- This book will always be free, particularly for anyone who has paid to read the first two in the trilogy!

***This is *mostly* readable to a new reader as the core couple are new, but reading The Golden Lycans first is recommended!*** Serena Landry has spent most of her life moving too quickly to worry about where she is going. There is always another hobby to master, another adventure to chase, another reason not to sit still. But entering her final year at Exton College, Serena decides to make one change: instead of falling back into the same supernatural circles she has always known, she begins spending time with a group of humans. To her surprise, she likes them. There is Joel, confident, charming and impossible to overlook, and Finn, quieter and more guarded, whose dry humour and seemingly endless collection of shared interests make friendship with him unexpectedly easy. For the first time, Serena begins to wonder whether the divide between humans and her own kind is quite as vast as she has always believed. Then she turns eighteen. And Serena senses her mate. What should have been one of the simplest certainties of Lycan life instead throws everything she knows about destined bonds into disarray. Something about hers is wrong—or perhaps unprecedented—and while Serena searches for answers, whispers of a prophecy begin to place her at the centre of something she never asked for. She is not the only one questioning the old ways. Her future sister-in-law, Ella Reva, believes the supernatural world has hidden for long enough and is quietly working towards the impossible: Disclosure. A future in which humans finally learn that Lycans, Fae, witches, Elves, Sirens and countless other beings have always lived among them. The myths were real. But across the water from Serena's pack, something is being built. No one knows exactly what lies beyond the mysterious barrier surrounding it. Humans cannot approach it. Lycans cannot break through it. Not even her powerful brother Austin Landry—the Golden Lycan, powerful enough to challenge almost anything—can penetrate its defences. And as the threat beyond the water grows, Serena begins to realise that the strange path unfolding before her may be connected to far more than her own future. For centuries, two worlds have existed side by side without ever truly meeting. Perhaps they were only waiting for someone to build the bridge. ...... **There are a number of songs quoted throughout as Serena is very music orientated... I did not write these songs. clearly! And apologies, this book was not written to monetise, it was a passion project, so it is very long!***
