Slated for execution, shapeshifting assassin,

protecting humans from what truly lives in the shadows. Moving from

the shadows are shifting. The lies are adding up. And when Sentinel
City is threatened by a series of bizarre brutal murders, light is
shed on what should never be seen. The secrets that have kept
humanity in the dark for centuries are in danger of being
exposed.
Wrestling with a lifetime of her own deceptions,

of peace she has found in this world begins to crumble. Each new clue
leads her to the one place she thought to never go again.
Home.

Nite Fire Book 2
Murder, mystery, mayhem,
dragons--and mutants!
If anyone can tell the
difference between monsters and humans, it's Dahlia Nite. For nearly
a century, she's hunted one to protect the other; safeguarding
humanity from the creatures that slip through the torn veil between
the worlds--creatures like her. But the lines are blurring. As people
begin mutating and combusting on the streets, Dahlia realizes a
strange affliction has descended upon Sentinel City. The mysterious
ailment strikes all walks of life, from the posh, high-end nightclub
district to the homeless community. Its victims, driven to random
acts of savagery, are drawing attention too fast to cover
up.
Assigned to the case, Dahlia and her human partner,
Detective Alex Creed, investigate the deaths. But all they have are
questions and bodies, and a public on the verge of panic. Working
behind the scenes with her self-appointed sidekick, Casey Evans,
Dahlia struggles to discover what, or who, is behind the alarming
transformations. As the violence spreads and the mystery unfolds, she
wonders: are the victims still human? Were they ever?

Smoke & Mirrors
Nite Fire Book 3
She knows monsters are real
because she is one. But how long can she hide the truth?
Secrets
are a dragon's best friend. Deception is a close second. Both provide
a sturdy armor, allowing half-dragon shapeshifter, Dahlia Nite, to
live undetected among the humans. Walking in two worlds, belonging in
neither, she wraps herself in a shroud of lies to hide in plain
sight. But nothing stays hidden forever.
When dismembered
bodies of multiple species are dumped on the riverbank, the case
falls to Dahlia and Detective Alex Creed. Backed by Sentinel City's
new task force, the pair find themselves urged along by clues that
seem too good to be true. Bouncing from one crime scene to the next,
they hunt for a clear motive in a murky sea of conflicting evidence.
Already on edge from the recent string of unexplained crimes, the
city begins to unravel.
Drowning in missing creatures,
slaughtered remains, masked men--and the search for her sidekick's
missing sister--Dahlia burns the candle at both ends. Seeking
answers, she employs her empathic abilities, and uncovers something
deeper and more sinister than a simple serial killer's web. As the
dots connect, and worlds collide, she struggles to shields her
friends from the truth. But secrets can be deadly. And Dahlia's not
the only one who keeps them.

Nite Fire Book 4
Time is running out. Change is
coming, and the linked worlds will never be the same.
Surviving
her ordeal on Drimera was only the beginning. Forced to pick up the
remains of her life and move on, Dahlia returns to her vigilante
ways: hunting monsters by the cover of darkness. Backed by a new
team, she vows to keep the streets safe while training to harness the
eye's abilities. But the city has become a time bomb, and every day
the clock ticks faster--as the creatures pour in and the blight
spreads. Dahlia worries she will never be enough to stop the
impending destruction. How can she be the answer to saving them
all?
Already stretched thin, Dahlia shies away from
investigating the Sentinel's latest murder spree. But the victims'
identities confound her. And the fragile thread tying the postmortem
mutilations to Ella Chandler is impossible to ignore. Compelled to
unravel the truth, what she uncovers only deepens the mystery. Who
engineered the sinister plot? Why does everything lead back to that
first case--the one that brought Dahlia out of the shadows and into
the light?

Nite Fire Book 5
All good things come to an end. Not if she can help it.
The life Dahlia built in Sentinel City is over, shattered by betrayal and crushed beneath the rubble of a world she’s come to love. But, in the apocalypse, grief is a luxury none can afford. Least of all, the scaled vigilante fighting to protect them.
With half her team MIA, creatures rampaging the streets, and humanity facing destruction, Dahlia struggles to put out more fires than one shapeshifter can handle. All the while, the damaged veil between the worlds is eroding faster. Exits are multiplying, giving the blight free reign to devour all in its path. Relishing in the chaos: the mad scientist bent on seizing Earth for his own devious plan.
In a race against time, Dahlia must find a way to save what remains of this tragic new reality—before the Renewal extinguishes all life on the linked worlds. The dragon inside her is done sitting quietly in the background.

Born in a small Kansas town on the Missouri river, C.L. Schneider grew up in a house of avid readers and overflowing bookshelves. Her first full-length novel took shape while she was still in high school, on a typewriter in her parent's living room. Though Schneider has been writing all of her life, Magic-Price (the award-winning first installment in The Crown of Stones Trilogy) was her first published novel.
While her main focus is epic and urban fantasy for adults, she dabbles in all areas of speculative fiction. Her stories tend to be dark, conflict-laden tales full of magic and mystery, action and intrigue, antiheroes and villains, monsters and myths, friendship, love, loss and sacrifice—with enough twists to give you whiplash.
