Book 1
“I’ve wondered what you taste like for so damn long. You taste better than I ever could have imagined… my queen.” He shouldn’t be calling me that. Beau was his queen. And I had a problem. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way.
Queen Merrin might be the least queenly queen in all the realms. After all, queens don't typically sneak out at night to drink with their guards. When her best friend and neighboring queen, Beau, goes missing, Merrin won't leave rescue to the knights. She sets out from the civilized world and into the wilds to retrieve her lost friend, but with ancient hexes, stolen power, and a mountain of giants' bones, Merrin stumbles into something much greater than a simple rescue mission. Get ready for a swoony whirlwind of dark magic and forbidden romance, as Merrin finds strength in the whispers of the forest and comfort in the arms of a guard with tantalizing abilities.
Book 2
My fingers curled into his, and he pulled me down onto the hill beside him. Everything about him was designed to be tempting—the way he chewed his lip, the way his eyes read nefarious intent. “I won’t take you here,” he said, rolling over me and sliding his knee between my legs. “But I’ll come close.”
With Queen Beau rescued from the moon goddess, Merrin and her guard expect a quiet return home—until a magic-induced headache forces Windley to confront the dark, forgotten past he's tried so desperately to leave behind. A new threat emerges from the depths of Windley's restored memories in the form of an omnipotent being capable of stealing the Nemophile's power. What's more, Rafe's transgressions against the goddess Luna have left him susceptible to attack from all manner of creatures from the other side. He'll need to find a new goddess to pact with—and fast—if he hopes to make it back to the north unscathed. With new enemies coming at them from all sides, Merrin's greatest foe might be closer to home than she realizes, as she seeks out the truth of the Nemophile's Crown and the identity of Exitium, her most prominent echo. With double the action and swoon, get ready for a racy journey through the fantastical south where the line between villain and heroine isn't always so clear.
Book 3
Under the orphic light of the ballroom, Windley's frosting had never looked better.As he walked by, he dallied at my back, drawing a hand along the small of it, leaning forward darkly to whisper: "Tonight, I feast."
With the echoes off searching for another royal to corrupt, Merrin and Windley turn their efforts elsewhere: after Ascian's stolen ring and in the direction of a certain honey-voiced doppelganger with deeper ties to Merrin than any of them know. As ancient truths are uncovered and fresh alliances formed, it's up to Merrin to master the sparkly new power budding in her chest before destruction can have its way, but that may be easier said than done with multiple magical targets on her back. Sweet reunions and steamy moments aren't all that await in the lair of a spider, where Merrin's faith will be tested and her heart pulled in more ways than one.
Book 4
“I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Taking you to somewhere no one could ever find you. Claiming you as my own…” He pressed his mouth to my ear: “No one ever has to know.”
It is with a grief-filled heart and a goddess-filled soul that Merrin sets out from the Cove in search of vengeance. With Ascian’s ring yet out in the wild and Gwen trapped in a hex, Merrin has a pair of Spirite enemies to defeat before she can make good on her promise to deliver the destroyer to the end of days. But delivering the destroyer may not mean what she thinks it does, and this story may come to end where it all began—in a cave of legend where the ancient ones rest and where a lion-like queen will face her greatest test yet.
When everything she’s built comes under siege, will Merrin have the strength to carry on?
