What could happen in fifteen minutes?

Faye agreed to her sister’s brilliant idea to sneak into the Hunter’s Moon ball. A night the vampires in attendance held sacred, lusting under the eerie glow of the blood red moon. Faye was no vampire. She wasn’t even a race that possessed magic. Her ceremony failed, marking her an Anarian. A mortal without magic.

After a run in with the Shadow Prince, Faye begins dreaming of him. His yearnful gaze leaves her feeling cherished after she wakes. A pleasant daydream, since men like him didn’t exist. Not for women like her.

But as days pass and the dreams intensify, the Shadow Prince comes for her. His gaze filled with the same yearning he held for her during their shared dreams. Until he realizes she’s an Anarian.

Abducted and confined in his home in Hell, Faye is left only with his promise to release her after he breaks the tie binding his life to hers. But with each heated exchange she can almost see the man that longed for her in her dreams.

The one who cherished her and tempted her heart.


Book 2

Perfect for romantic dark fantasy fans who loved the Immortals After Dark series and the Black Jewels novels. Return to the realms Of Chaos and Darkness in the next installment of Faye, Rune, and Voshki's story in A Trial of Lace and Bone.

Can there be peace without bloodshed?

Now in control of a court, Faye allows those without magic entry, offering protection and sanctuary from those who possess it.

But when her actions infuriate the old houses in Necromia, Faye is determined to rule without bloodshed and protect her people from the immortals who view the realm of Anaria as it has always been —the peasant lands.

As tensions build, the Court of Lace and Bone, led by a sadistic dark-blooded queen named Delilah, openly challenges Faye. Delilah targets her court, vowing to extinguish the source of Anaria's hope beneath the sole of her boot.

When Delilah’s calculated strikes grow increasingly more vicious and personal, Faye will be forced to make a choice.

Become the thing she fears the most or lose her crown, her family, and herself.

Forever.
