Book 1: Book of Secrets
The human world and the world of myth have merged. Ordinary individuals must become extraordinary if they hope to save it.
Joshua Lighthouse never wanted to be a hero, but now, he has no choice.
For three hundred years, the human world and the world of Myth have lived as one. The cataclysmic Merge forced those who survived – both human and Others – to form factions.
As leader of the Human Protection Agency, Joshua is charged with maintaining the safety of the humans in his city. But he secretly protects an artifact more powerful than even he knows…
The Book of Secrets.
With the anniversary of the Merge approaching, the Book of Secrets is stolen and Joshua finds himself at the center of a plot to unmerge the worlds.
Stripped of his position, betrayed, and with a bounty on his head, Joshua must outrun the organization he once served and legions of Others in a race against time to locate the book and prevent the inter-species war that will end the world he knows forever.
Can he find his way to salvation when everything he believed is a lie, or will his distrust lead to another epic cataclysm he can’t stop?
This is the first book in the Merged series. If you love urban fantasy stories full of desperate rescues, unexpected twists and tragic betrayals, you’ll love this installment of Claudia Blood’s epic series.

The magic that protects it under a shield is warping, harming those it was meant to protect.
Rose is entrusted with a magical necklace, which if reunited with its sister necklace on the other side of the shield would remove the protective barrier and banish the twisted magic.
Her mission fails, the necklace lost, but her memories are unlocked, bringing to light a staggering secret—Rose is undead.
With someone working against her and her friends on their quest to save the city, Rose must discover the hidden truths and unravel the twisted magic threatening everyone.
