Summary

It looked as innocent as a gardenia...but the Hellflower’s perfume turned any woman into any man’s woman. The haunting, pungent scent aroused desires too fierce to be slaked by ordinary passions—and left its victims burnt-out husks! Charles Farradyne knew that no woman could resist the Hellflower. Yet Carolyn, the girl he wanted above all to possess, smiled when he gave her the deadly bloom—smiled and inhaled the perfumed poison.Hellflower is the fantastic story of a lovely woman who was not quite human—and of a man who went through heaven and hell to win her.

    Five years have passed, and the Guardians and the people of The Realm have reached a new, albeit tetchy, equilibrium. The threat of civil war bubbles constantly, but so far, the Guardians have kept control. 
    It won’t take much for that to change. 
    People are going missing from one of the villages, returning days later, emaciated, exhausted, and claiming to have been forced to work on a building in a strange world. Where are they being taken? And who is taking them there? 
    The foe threatening The Realm is far more sinister than the rogue Guides. They could destroy everything the Guardians rely on. Far from being the protectors of The Realm, the Guardians could be forced to be its destroyers. 
    Can Aeron and Faran find a way to save The Realm without sacrificing everything they hold dear? Or will The Realm finally fall?

    The last thing Steven remembers was waiting in a prison cell for the results of an appeals trial. His crime: speaking out against unfair treatment of workers. His opinion of his sentence: it's political.  
    Next thing he wakes up on a commercial ship run by the Merlin Company, where he meets Luciane, Rollo and Jack, fellow prisoners of an inconveniently political nature, and the four will be sent down to a planet where a research team has vanished.  
    Everything needed to survive and return is on the abandoned base, and all the company wants is to know what happened to twelve scientists.  
    Except the company is lying. They know what happened to the scientists. They're testing something, and the four are guineapigs. They're not supposed to come back. The space craft to return is not even at the base anymore.  
    But one discovery will change everything.

    My brother is taking over the family business . . . 
     
     
     
    It was something I'd trained for my entire life. I was more suited for it than he was in almost every way. 
     
     
     
    Except for the most important one . . . the ability he'd inherited from our father. Why wasn't I born with the same powers? 
     
     
     
    I'm leaving the underworld. I don't belong there anymore. Of course, I only have one marketable skill: 
     
     
     
    Kicking ass and taking names. 
     
     
     
    How can I use that to start a new life for myself on Earth? 
     
     
     
    Unfortunately, vigilantism doesn't pay the bills.
