''Phantom'' was released on October 25, 2011, ''Moonsong'' on March 13, 2012, and ''Destiny Rising'' on October 23, 2012. ''The Salvation'' trilogy was written by ghostwriter Aubrey Clark.

The first two books of ''The Salvation'' trilogy were first released on Amazon.com as a paperback and ebook while ''Unmasked'' was available for pre-order purchase in five formats as of March 11, 2014 at Amazon.com. On January 15, 2014, Smith announced that she would be continuing to write her version of ''The Vampire Diaries'' before she was fired by Alloy. Smith would continue to write her books on Amazon Kindle as fan fiction and are not part of the official series.
