Three immortal queens. A dying magic. A world to save . . .
The FAIRY QUEENS SAGA is far more than a simple fairy tale retelling. It's a deep dive into the mythology surrounding Hans Christian Andersen's THE SNOW QUEEN. An origin story, the Fairy Queens Saga tells the stories of the Winter Queen (Ilyenna), her rival (Nelay), and Ilyenna's daughter (Elice).
Book 2
There is one rule above all others . . .
Never bargain with the fae . . .
When a battle erupts in the heart of her village, Ilyenna looks into her enemy’s eyes and sees more than just cunning. There is also lust—lust for power and lust for her. She could escape. If she’s willing to take the fae’s impossible bargain.
Dark magic in exchange for her soul.
But she risks losing more than her soul. She would also lose Rone, the man she’s been in secretly in love with for years. But as things heat up between Rone and Ilyenna, so does her captor’s cruelty. Worse, the feud between clans is merely a distraction from something far worse.
Is Ilyenna willing to sell her soul to save her people and the man she loves?

Only Nelay's sight will allow her to save her family.
With the fae already watching - waiting for Nelay to slip up - she has to be more careful than ever not to reveal her sight. Because if the fae realize she can see them, nothing will stop them from claiming her for their dark purpose.
