I want to live.

The promises of prophecy press in on Veyka Pendragon from every direction. An ancient darkness. A lost queen. A heartbreaking sacrifice. To save her kingdom, she will fulfill them all. She will not falter.

But there are secrets still to be unraveled. Where is the Ethereal Queen? How will they join their power to finally banish the succubus? Those questions are easier than the ones Veyka must answer on her own. For saving her kingdom means leaving behind her mate.

Arran Earthborn has dedicated his life to protecting Annwyn. But the Brutal Prince who arrived in Baylaur is not the one now standing at the head of a vast fae army. When an enemy offers a final chance, three weapons forged in the depths of Avalon itself, Arran does not hesitate.

He will rule with Veyka at his side, or he will destroy this realm… and every other.

Every story must end.

But I will not go down without a fight.

The Secrets of the Faerie Crown series is a twisted mythology retelling of the Arthur legend. It is a high-steam fantasy romance with dark elements.

She was a storm of violent sunbeams and catastrophic rainbows. Marrying for love was never in the stars for Creslyn, as evidenced by her future husband. Drake is calculating, cruel, and wields a blade of death. By all rights, he should be terrifying. But something about him draws her in, his shadows call to the darkness she keeps locked away inside of her. She isn’t foolish enough to expect love from a marriage contract, but when they bind their vows in blood, Creslyn does the unthinkable—she claims Drake as her mate. He was a monster of shadow and night, of death and destruction. Cursed since his first breath, Drake has only known power and a realm of shadows. But now he’s bound to a faerie whose heart bleeds for him, and his obsession with her only grows with each passing day. Unfortunately, his world of violence puts her life at stake. Not only is he still the Shadowblade Assassin, but unrest is brewing in Aeramere, and an attack on House Celestine confirms an ill-fated prophecy. War is coming. As Creslyn longs to find a way to break Drake’s curse and struggles to embrace her own darkness, Drake will be faced with a terrible choice—one that will only end in sacrifice. Secrets will be unearthed and their bond will be put to the test, because love might be enough for a hero, but it will never save a villain.

In the Light of a Crystal Dawn (The Raya Sage Chronicles Book 1) 

  Expected Publication Date: December 19, 2024 

  Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance 

  There's a darkness in her, an ancient power that Demons and Angels alike are drawn to, and a mysterious blue-eyed stranger who is either the light in the shadows of her mind, or the instrument of her destruction. 

 When twenty-six-year-old criminal attorney, Raya Sage, is stopped on the street by a fortune teller who declares her next birthday the day Raya would become the end of the world, it seems like just one of those crazy things that happens to people in downtown Austin, Texas. But when the woman seizes, and then disappears on the ride to the hospital, Raya can't shake the lingering creepiness factor, and is haunted by the encounter for the months that follow. Flash forward a few months, to her birthday, to one of the biggest verdicts of her career, and the moment she sees her first Demon. It's as if the day she turned twenty-seven, a veil is lifted. She can see them and they can see her, and they all want her dead. That's when a mysterious blue-eyed stranger, who calls himself Marcus, saves her life, and whisks her away to a world, filled with Nephilim and Demons, a world he claims is where she belongs. Where he is an Overseer, a king of sorts, who leads brave warriors who protect humanity from all those things that go bump in the night. He declares Raya is one of the most special of their kind. And her crystal blue eyes are not birthmarks, as she was told from a young age, but are the mark of a rare Crystal Seer. As Raya tries to adapt and understand her new life, and a world where the Nephilim kingdom shadows and protects humanity, she grapples with the strange familiarity and intense attraction she feels with Marcus, that feels as if it stretches beyond time, that he claims he cannot explain. Or is it simply that he chooses not to explain? Nothing she will soon discover is as it seems, including her. For there is a darkness in her, an ancient power that Demons and Angels alike are drawn to. Raya soon comes to fear what she believes Marcus already knows—that she might truly be the end of the world if she doesn't fight her way to the light. And that the connection he shares with her is as dangerous to the Nephilim as it is to all of humanity. 

  The Light in the Crystal Dawn, the first book in the Raya Sage Chronicles, introduces you to a world filled with the magic of Angels, and the darkness of the monsters they hunt, where secrets and lies, and a passionate forbidden romance has world altering consequences. Perfect for fans of The Serpent in the Wings of Night and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Can they survive the truth of their war?...Can their hearts?

A century ago, an exchange was proposed: a life saved for a war of revenge.

For Captain Lia Solus of the fae army, and the secret bastard daughter of the king, she’s reminded of those consequences daily. Unable to claim her heritage or her throne, she’s powerless to stop the innocent bloodshed that her birth ushered in.

On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. And with a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.

Engaged in an intimate battle of their own, both warring to take control, they’ll need their wits now more than ever to survive. Because this fight could cost their lives—and their hearts.

One nickname flashing across my screen to drag me back into his tangled web. That one text sent me back to my hometown. A town full of heartache, secrets, and abandonment. Straight into the arms of the man I’ve always known was meant to be mine. Our story wasn’t over… The man who was standing in front of me now was a far cry from the boy I once knew. That boy who disappeared in the dead of night a decade earlier, leaving me with nothing but vague whispers of basic training, concerns of war, and the gut-wrenching feeling of betrayal. I had always believed in fate. Believed in what most would call a twin flame; soul tied… Any word that explained loving someone so intensely that nothing could ever break that connection to them. Jensen was all those things and more. I’d be damned if I missed our one last chance for someday. Even if all the promises falling from his lips might be from a soulmate who was never meant to be.

Of Monsters Of Kings (Unworldly City Book 1)

Expected Publication Date: July 25, 2024

Genre: Gothic Romantasy

Destined to be

Royal immortals

Monsters with manners

Age-gap

Hidden society

Ancient magic

Romance vs. duty

New girl in town

Bring. Take. Raise. Change. See.

Three princes, each, shall come to thee.

Monsters to guide kings to thrones,

To keep real monsters chained with blood and bone.

Your immortal burden cold and lonely,

Hear! Rule until the bloody finish.

For the mighty never stirred at dawn,

They burst forth at dusk,

into toothed beast’s yawn.

In the 1200 years since The End, fifty mothers in my line have passed the truth to their daughters. They passed truths of how the world was, of how the world changed, and even mythical stories of powerful romances that sparked great tragedy and war. Those romances are dead and gone, and as the fiftieth daughter, I am determined the truths of my ancestors will die with me too. I will be the last daughter to bury her withered mother. But ancients pull back the bloodied curtain without warning, and I cannot unsee the hidden world revealed beyond. Sinister impossibilities lurk in this walled city. They have always existed—dusk immortals who battle and prowl, filled with menace and conflicting purpose. And they, even the dark creature I blind with my presence, must decide the fate of all. Yet fifty mothers prepared for nightfall. They knew five kings could not win. Now the fiftieth daughter will walk into the toothed beast’s yawn. For the mighty never stirred at dawn… and I’m about to inherit something more monstrous than the truth. 

  Of Monsters Of Kings is a dark fantasy romance thoroughly drenched with the morally gray and intended for mature audiences. This story contains monsters with manners, heaped teaspoons of spice, magical impossibilities, and not many conventional things at all, really.
