The Darkness Within Series

How can she stop evil if she can't even control her own dark magic?   Skylar has a few problems:   Getting out from under her famous mother's shadow.   Making it through the Academy of Magic without getting herself killed.   And trying not to murder the devilishly handsome, so-infuriating-she-wants-to-strangle-him Asher once they're partnered with each other.   So when she discovers a new baddie gathering power in her city, someone with insane magic and a powerful grudge against her family, Skylar knows it's her chance to stop them.   The only problem? Skylar's got dark magic of her own. Uncontrollable magic. Magic she has to keep hidden.   As maddening as Asher is, she'll have to work with him if she wants any chance at stopping this new threat. But with her darkness growing more powerful by the day, hiding what she is will likely be impossible. And soon, her biggest enemy just might be herself…   Called by Darkness is the first book in the *now complete* YA fantasy Darkness Within series.

The hunt for the Cursed One is on…   Skylar thought she could catch a break. After her near-death encounter with the psychotic leader of the Society, Kasia, and still dealing with the Dark Prince trying to possess her body, she should be on the first flight out to a resort island.   Too bad the universe has other plans.   Reports of a legendary being called the Cursed One are popping up all over the world. According to Fae myth, whoever manages to find and possess this being will gain unbelievable power. Nearly unstoppable power. Power to do incredible good…or evil.   Naturally, Kasia wants it. And Skylar can't let that happen.   It's up to her, Asher, and their friends from the Academy to find it first. But with those closest to Skylar harboring dangerous secrets of their own—and her crazy heart telling her it wants Asher as more than a friend—this journey may be the hardest one she's ever taken.   It could also be the deadliest.   The Cursed One is the second book in the *now complete* YA fantasy Darkness Within series.

To tame her darkness, she'll have to trust an enemy of magic.   Skylar's best friend, Mia, is missing, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note as to where she went.   Worse, a deadly fugitive has escaped a high-security prison in Paris; and all clues indicate that he wants Mia.   If they're going to find them both in time, Skylar and her friends have to become fugitives themselves. But with allies and enemies alike after them, this quest's gearing up to be harder to take down than a rabid dragon with a kidney stone.   But as they search, a shocking revelation comes to light: the fugitive has the same magic—the same darkness—as Skylar does. And it seems the powers they both possess are far more dangerous than she ever imagined, threatening her, her kinda-sorta-boyfriend Asher, and everyone else she cares about.   Skylar has to get this power under control before it destroys her. And the crazy thing is, the prisoner might be the only one who can teach her how. If they can find him. And if he doesn't kill them first.   Enemy of Magic is the third book in the *now complete* YA fantasy Darkness Within series.

All power has a price, and hers might be too high to pay.   Skylar's been pushed to her limits.   Kasia is at the Academy of Magic's doorstep, primed to attack at any moment with her dark power of the gods.

Meanwhile, the Dark Prince grows stronger every day, and Skylar's almost out of time before she loses control of him for good.   But when the unthinkable happens, she'll have to find the strength to regain her power and make one final strike against Kasia.   She can't fail. She won't fail. Everything is at stake.   This time Skylar's taking the fight to Kasia, and only one of them is coming out alive.   The Dark Prince is the final book in the *now complete* YA fantasy Darkness Within series.
