Calder and Lily never imagined falling in love would mean breaking apart. But ever since Lily started wearing a pendant that once belonged to Nadia, Calder's adoptive mother, she's been having vivid dreams of what life was like for the mermaid matriarch. In fact, she's been dreaming as if she were Nadia, who seems to have some unfinished business for Lily to complete. Calder's not buying it; he chalks up Lily's dreams to stress. He wants Lily to focus on the future--their future--not the past.
What both Lily and Calder overlook is the present, where Calder's mermaid sisters are fighting for control of their clan and for Lily's and her dad's allegiance. But which mermaid can be trusted? And as Lily and Calder quarrel, will Calder revert to the dark side of his merman impulses? Will Lily herself be seduced by the pull of the siren's sinister desires? The stakes are high--with many lives in peril--as Calder and Lily confront hard truths that threaten any chance of their getting back together.
Set on the Lake Superior, Promise Bound is the gripping, water-churning finale to the series that began with Lies Beneath and Deep Betrayal.
After a bloody siege, Auranos has been defeated, its young queen orphaned and dethroned. The three kingdoms--Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsai--are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. But the allure of ancient, dangerous magic beckons still, and with it the chance to rule not over just Mytica, but the whole world over...
At the heart of the fray are four brave young people grappling for that magic and the power it promises. For Cleo, the magic would enable her to reclaim her royal seat. In Jonas's hands, it frees his nation, and in Lucia's, it fulfills the ancient prophecy of her destiny. And if the magic were Magnus's, he would finally prove his worth in the eyes of his cruel and scheming father, King Gauis, who rules Mytica with a punishing hand.
When Gaius begins to build a road into the Forbidden Mountains to physically link all of Mytica, he sparks a long-smoking fire in the hearts of the people that will forever change the face of this land. For Gauis's' road is paved with blood, and it's construction will have cosmic consequences.

Nate Hayes is a Replica.
The real Nate was viciously murdered, but thanks to Paxco’s groundbreaking human replication technology, a duplicate was created that holds all of the personality and the memories of the original. Or...almost all. Nate’s backup didn't extend to the days preceding his murder, leaving him searching for answers about who would kill him, and why. Now, after weeks spent attempting to solve his own murder with the help of his best friend and betrothed, Nadia Lake, Nate has found the answers he was seeking...and he doesn’t like what he’s discovered.
The original Nate was killed because he knew a secret that could change everything. Thanks to Nadia’s quick thinking, the two of them hold the cards now—or think they do.
Unfortunately, neither of them fully understands just how deep the conspiracy runs.
