Between Shade and Flame
4 primary works
Book 1
They were never meant to fall in love...but maybe their forbidden love could stop a war.
Peace came at a steep price: human brides to save the dark elves of Gelaira. Persis, an indentured elfin healer from the Dunewatch, seeks to heal the Gelairan prince. There's only one problem: her master wants him dead. She was supposed to kill the groom...not become his bride.
Prince Haryk, stricken with a strange ailment that seems to have no cure, only wants to save his people. But how can he when he can't even save himself? More than anything he despises the terms of his grandfather's peace treaty, but he has no choice but to welcome the human bride sent from Haldor. But then he meets Princess Brenna's compassionate and intriguing elfin healer. He was supposed to marry the princess...not fall in love with her servant.
As intrigues and betrayals grow more complicated, Haryk and Persis face a future neither of them had prepared for. There are forces at work in Gelaira, dark forces that could rip not only Haryk and Persis apart but also the entirety of Rhuin. If they can't find a way to save Haryk-and preserve the peace-war and death could be the fate of all peoples.
This thrilling romantic fantasy inspired by Hades & Persephone and Norse mythology takes place 500 years before the events of Dark Affliction can be read on its own! With explosions of magic, a hint of spice, and epic worldbuilding, this novel will enthrall fans of How to Tame Your Dragon, Elise Kova and Sarah J. Maas...with no sex. If you enjoy strong heroines, tragic heroes, and clean romance, you need to grab a copy of Peaceweaver.
Book 2
This stand-alone romantic fantasy about found family and ancient secrets is perfect for fans of Fierce Heart and Entranced: Prince of the Doomed City.
A determined girl. A dark elf scholar. A dance as old as time.
When her arranged marriage goes awry, Dagmar Fray finds herself in a foreign land without a husband. Good riddance. Her real reason for participating in a slightly underhanded bride-swap was not to find a fellow but rather her missing sister. But when she accepts the help of a shy stranger, she longs to discover what he's hiding behind those dimples.
More interested in fae cats and books, Peregrin Blodrhys wasn't seeking a wife until he met the fiery redhead stranded in the rain. Passionate, outspoken, and devoted to her sister...Dagmar just might be the answer to his problem. But he knows little of human girls or how to propose marriage. And his secret is the sort that can destroy even the strongest of relationships.
When this bride on a mission and secretive bookworm collide, can they survive the explosion of culture and magic?
Grimkeeper is a stand-alone novella, inspired by Beauty and the Beast and Twelve Dancing Princesses. With sweet "friends to lovers" romance and epic worldbuilding, this feisty heroine and her awkward love interest are the perfect swoon-worthy couple for fans of Tara Grayce and Melanie Cellier
Book 3
A kidnapped governess. A goblin prince. A world on the brink of disaster.
Anrid Fray left her sister for an arranged marriage to a dark elf; instead, she is stolen away and accidentally binds herself to a temperamental magic known as the Bifrost. She only wants to find her betrothed, but a harassed Runemaster and a pack of unruly orphans won't let her leave.
Prince Jael Daemon needs to save his kingdom from strange earthquakes, but the Bifrost protecting Agmon is inexplicably failing. The last thing he wants is responsibility for his wayward younger brother, a naïve human girl, and her homeless goblinborn children who are all in danger.
With the Bifrost under attack and their souls bonded to its fate, can these star-crossed lovers reconcile duty and desire before shadows consume all they hold dear?
If you like Air Awakens or Prince of the Doomed City, then you’ll love this enchanting romance filled with found family, characters with disabilities, and clever nods to Norse and Greek mythology.
Book 4
A secretive spy. A reluctant suitor. A sinister plot.
Margret Medallan longs to free her family from the clutches of a vile society, but cutting ties with her master would be a fatal mistake. Desperate, Margret reluctantly agrees to a fake engagement with a banished goblin prince, hoping to save her sisters from enslavement and possible death.
Kora Daemon can't go home unless he rights the wrongs of his past and completes a dangerous, hopeless mission. But when he finds himself bound to a lovely but reluctant spy, the line between right and wrong blurs dangerously. Because now the city of Nestra balances on the edge of a knife…and one wrong move could destroy them all.
Will these lovestruck enemies put aside their differences or will they fall prey to a deadly enemy?
Subtly inspired by Twelve Dancing Princesses, Songbender is sure to enthrall if you love the twists of Caraval and the action of Throne of Glass. Grab this angsty romantic fantasy with stolen kisses, witty banter, and twisty turns.
