About Raye Wagner

RAYE WAGNER hates writing bios. She'd much rather tell you a story. She's partial to fantasy, with dragons or magic or something so she can lie and not feel guilty. She also has an obsession with sweets (all the bakery goodies), nerf wars, wigs, and occasionally tutus.

When she isn't writing, shenanigating (I'm sure that's a word), or lying, Raye is with her family . . . preferably at the beach.

Nai expected the summons to Alpha Academy...but not this year.

She’s trained her entire life to lead her pack, and the elite school is where she’ll receive the elemental magic that distinguishes her as an alpha heir.

But the four sexy guards sent to escort Nai are not only early—they’re her sworn enemies. Then when she arrives at Alpha Academy, the Alpha King is not happy to see her.

And if that isn’t enough...

Mysterious magical marks pop up on her skin, outcast shifters keep attacking the school, and someone is trying to kill her.
There is no way things could get worse. No way.

Until she meets her fated mate at a masquerade party…
He’s sexy as sin.
An Alpha Heir.
And completely and totally forbidden.

If you love YA fantasy, wolf-shifters, and enemies-to-lovers romance, get ready for a pulse-pounding story that will keep you riveted until the very last word.

Midnight Lies (Shifter Island Book 2) Dec 1, 2020

by Raye Wagner , Leia Stone

( 489 )

$4.99

Nai thought nothing could be worse than Alpha Academy’s midyear games…

The first few months of school weren’t exactly easy: fated-mate from the rival clan, selkie attacks, and that minor, aka huge, plot to kill her.

But things seem to be going from bad to worse.

After watching a loved one’s horrific death at the hands of the alpha king, Nai decides another visit to Dark Row is in order. After all, a witch there knows the Keeper of Souls, and Nai wants her friend back.

But the trip to the Realm of the Dead doesn’t go quite as planned. Nai discovers a family member has been keeping secrets—BIG secrets. Scratch that. Make that TWO family members—and LOTS of secrets.

When Nai's negotiation skills land her and Rage in a contract that is near impossible to meet, the consequences of success and failure are equally dire.

Ah, hello, trouble!

She's determined to bring her friend back from the dead and still keep her mate, or die trying.

One thing’s for certain, nothing on Shifter Island will ever be the same.

Magical Fantasy. Young Adult Romance. Deception.

All of my expectations shattered the day my sister fell, and my magic changed.

Zivrune, the magi prince I’d loved since childhood, didn’t become king. My sister didn’t heal the land. The two of them didn’t become bondmates.

For years I waited in hiding, hoping for the promised rebellion. Instead, the cruel king’s guards arrive and leave a trail of bodies in their search for someone.

I know who they want. I just don’t understand why. To find answers, I’m forced to return to Yandari and face my past. But I’m not the same girl anymore.

Because now, I know family doesn’t mean fidelity, devotion definitely requires sacrifice, and love? For Zivrune, I’ll defy the law, regardless of nature or magic.

This coming of age fantasy is told in parallel timelines, building up to a shocking reveal that will leave you reeling and breathless. With action, drama, and unexpected turns galore, BETRAYED is young adult fantasy that is dark, twisted, and beautiful.

My memory is lost. Gone. I can’t remember my name or magic. I don’t know what happened to our ruler or why the jungle is transforming, becoming even more wild. Who is the guard and why is he angry? And why do I feel safe with a deadly panthera?

Arriving in Puleer, I hope to find relief among the magi and, hopefully, some answers. Instead, the laws of nature change before my eyes, and the dangers of the jungle are nothing compared to this twisted utopia.

When the panthera leaves, a new magi joins the outpost, and I know he has answers. But what if all of my questions were wrong?

As the jungle vines converge and tighten, I begin to wonder. . . Was my memory truly lost—or was it stolen?

In the kingdom of Qralî magic, romance, mystery, and betrayal tangle amidst the lush flora and deadly predators of the jungle.

$4.99

Dark fantasy. Forbidden love. Pulse pounding twists that will steal your breath.

After my capture, I’m escorted to the capital for my magik to be tested. While I don’t know who I am, the magi guards believe I’m the kumdar’s lost bondmate.

I know better.

What they propose is impossible for two irrefutable reasons. First, my magik is nothing like hers. And second, if my body and soul were mate-bonded, I wouldn’t feel this unquenchable desire for my captor.

Dragged before the ruthless king, I’m forced to participate in a magical trial. His culling of the weak involves tests which are both perverse and brutal. With a magi guard reading my thoughts and the panthera shifter stealing my memories, my sanity teeters on the edge of a precipice. Forced to choose between two brothers, my former enemies become more than allies. Much more.

And if they’re right about who I am, my biggest problem isn’t that they hate our sovereign—

It’s that I do too.

Return to the kingdom of Qrali where magic, passion, and betrayal tangle amidst the lush flora and deadly predators of the jungle. If you enjoy unique fantasy books, plot-twists that will keep you guessing, and dangerous risks in the name of love, then scroll up and one-click now to continue the romance, adventure, and suspense of the Magi Rising series.

Hope has a deadly secret…

Hope has spent her entire life on the run, but no one is chasing her. In fact, no one even knows she exists. And she’ll have to keep it that way. It’s safer.

Even though mortals think the gods have disappeared, Olympus still rules. Demigods are elite hunters, who track and kill monsters. And shadow-demons from the Underworld prey on immortals, stealing their souls for Hades.

When tragedy destroys the only security she’s ever known, Hope’s life shatters. Is it the fulfillment of Apollo’s curse, or is she being hunted?

Forced to hide, alone this time, Hope pretends to be mortal. She’ll do whatever it takes to keep her secret safe— and her heart protected. But when Athan arrives, her world is turned upside down.

With gods, demigods, and demons closing in, how long can a monster stay hidden in plain sight?

Join Hope on her unforgettable journey to discover what it means to live and her daring fight to break Apollo’s curse. *Previously released as Curse of the Sphinx.*
