The Horse Mistress
4 primary works Complete
Book 1
My secret could save my people.
It will also destroy my life.
My name is Carivel. I was born female, but I've been secretly living as a boy in my adoptive village of Draebard, doing a job the elders insist could never be done by a woman. My life is complicated enough already, so the last thing I need is to fall for not one, but two unattainable men—a fierce warrior and a reluctant wolf-shifter with a horrific past.
Now, with the powerful Alyrion Empire poised to invade our lands, I must choose whether to keep my secret or reveal it… not only to the men I love, but also to the powerful female ruler whose army could help protect Draebard during the coming war.
Either way, strife is coming to our island.
Win or lose, things are about to change irrevocably for the three of us.
Book 2
Andoc, Senovo, and I have defied convention by declaring our love for each other.
I’ve become a pariah—a female who’s been quietly living as a man. Meanwhile, Senovo has been hiding his shape-shifting curse, believing the wolf inside him to be a vicious killer. When our secrets are finally revealed to the village elders, we fear dragging Andoc down with us.
Next in line to become Draebard’s tribal chieftain, Andoc endangers his position by continuing with such an unorthodox relationship. But when Senovo and I are captured by the enemy, to save our lives he’ll have to risk more than his own future prospects.
To get us back, he’ll be risking the fragile peace between Eburos and the Alyrion Empire.

Senovo, Andoc, and I have refused to let circumstances tear us away from each other.
Draebard’s tribal chieftain does not approve of Andoc’s decision to continue our unconventional three-way relationship. Now, on top of everything else, war is looming after the combined forces of Draebard and Meren destroyed the Alyrion Empire’s military outpost in northern Eburos.
Senovo and I have long relied on Andoc to be our rock. Our touchstone. But when Andoc's future is shattered by betrayal and life-changing injury, it will fall to us to give our big-hearted warrior a new reason to live.
For love to overcome despair, it’s going to take all three of us.

But if he succeeds, it just might end up tearing our triad apart forever.
