What I am currently reading:
“You fell in love with a fae executioner. Did you truly think that would end well?”
With war looming, Emelin’s plan is simple: break the Mother’s bindings while her more diplomacy-minded friends persuade the rest of the world to join their rebellion. Unfortunately, their would-be allies are far too concerned about Em’s exact connection to the feared and hated Silent Death.
They might risk their lives for the world’s only unbound mage, but they’ll never fight for a fae prince’s puppet.
Forced to hide the explosive secret of their love, Em and Creon journey to the plague-cursed continent to learn more about the bindings. But as they face dragons, ruins, and murderous forests in search of the vanished gods, distrust between Creon and their travel companions brings tensions to a boiling point.
And if their love may cost them the victory against the Mother … how will Em ever choose between her heart and her duty?
What I recently finished reading:
“There’s no taming a fae like the Silent Death …”
Emelin has escaped the Crimson Court and saved Creon from the Mother’s chains. But her newfound allies bring dangers of their own. Thrown into a world of old feuds and thorny grudges, she needs all her ingenuity to keep the Silent Death safe from his friends-turned-enemies.
And the political games of the Alliance are the easy part …
Haunted by shadows of his past and magic he never wanted to wield, Creon is slowly losing control of his powers. The only solution may be found outside the buried halls of the Alliance’s stronghold – back within reach of the Mother and her armies hunting for him.
Soon Emelin can no longer hide from the war looming over the archipelago. And when her quest for Creon’s safety reveals glimpses of her own mysterious origins, she has no choice but to claim her place on the battlefield … or lose the male she loves forever.
Lord of Gold and Glory is book 2 of the Fae Isles series, an epic fae fantasy romance perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout and Raven Kennedy.
Note: like the first book of the series, Lord of Gold and Glory is an adult fantasy romance and features plenty of scenes intended for a mature audience.
What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:
“Fae wars don’t end in surrender.”
Emelin has finally found the bindings, the key to her victory. But to use them, she needs one last piece of the puzzle … and the only person who can give her that information is a stubbornly silent Thysandra.
And an uncooperative captive is the least of Em’s problems.
As the Mother prepares to strike, the magical world continues to squabble. Something ominous is plaguing Creon. And Em’s own newfound powers come with a dark side she did not expect, forcing her to decide just how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the fate of the world.
To find allies and gather the forces they need, Em and Creon have no choice but to face the shadows of their pasts. But when disastrous secrets are revealed and the Mother finally deals her devastating blow … will they still have a future?
Queens of Mist and Madness is the thrilling conclusion to Em and Creon’s epic enemies to lovers romance.
A demon craving revenge. A fae looking to prove herself.
When Naxi and Thysandra meet in the middle of a battlefield, neither expects a worthy opponent. But with dark pasts and desperate ambitions driving them, peace is not an option … so when Naxi is forced to flee, Thysandra gives chase, bringing them far from the clash of armies.
Away from their allies, away from the war they were meant to fight, the true battle begins – one of wits and perilous bargains.
Every step of their cat-and-mouse game reveals secrets neither intended to share, laying bare hidden scars and unspoken desires. The deeper they go, the more their bitter rivalry turns into something far more an undeniable, irresistible attraction.
And soon demon and fae are no longer just fighting for their lives … but for their hearts.
In Love and War is a 20k word companion novella to the Fae Isles series and ends on a HFN. Naxi and Thysandra’s story develops in the background of books 1-4 of the main series, and concludes in book 5, With Wing and Claw. Recommended reading order is to read In Love and War between books 4 and 5.
Gwen and Madoc are a modern minotaur couple who have spent their professional careers sifting through the past. When a job opportunity prompts them to move to Cambric Creek, it’s a chance to make living in the present — and planning for their future — a priority.
The Minoan Bride is a dual-narrative trip into the Cambric Creek universe’s minotaur origin story. As they move around the relics of the labyrinth, Gwen realizes the story is a mirror to her present circumstances. No matter how much the world changes, some things — living, and loving, and dying — always stay the same.
