Rose Red: The Sythea Chronicles #1
A witch on the run from the fae who hunt her. A bounty hunting fae with a devastating secret. An unexpected alliance that will shatter everything they thought they knew.
In a land scarred by an old war where fae hunt witches to extinction and collect them for bounty, Rose must hide in the woods with her grandmother to avoid being turned over to the fae king for torture. Rose does what she can to survive, stalking and killing any fae that wanders too close to home and using her magic sparingly to avoid detection.
One day, Rose is captured by a wolf-shifting bounty hunter named Emrys, and she immediately knows two things to be true. First, she must find a way to escape no matter the cost. And second... she's never hated anything more than she hates the fae. Especially her captor.
When the forest comes alive with mysterious, sentient mists, bands of thieves, and strange creatures, Emrys and Rose must form an alliance to survive and achieve a common goal: freedom. But as their tenuous truce is pushed to the limits, they soon realize that they may have a common enemy as well, that the threats of Sythea run deeper than either of them bargained for... and that the lines between love and hate are dangerously thin.
ROSE RED is a New Adult enemies-to-lovers, marriage-of-convenience fairytale retelling.
TWs: Self-harm, suicide and the contemplation of suicide, and one non-con scene. Please be advised.
Rising Dawn: The Sythea Chronicles #2
While Rose and Emrys navigate the unforgiving Deadlands and plot how to stop a coven of corrupted witches from decimating the entire population of fae, Dawn awakes in Sythea... after sleeping for fifty years.
Placed under a spell for her protection, the human princess wakes up to a world ravaged by the ongoing war between witches and fae. Plagued by nightmares, Dawn soon discovers abilities within herself that guide her toward a world unknown: the spirit realm. But with this gift comes many dangers, and Dawn soon finds herself the prime target for a ritualistic sacrifice by a dark coven bent on destruction.
Dawn must learn to adapt to her harsh new reality with only her royal fiancé and her fae bodyguard left over from the life she once knew. She doesn't love her betrothed, but she's destined to marry him. On the other hand, her roguish, brooding bodyguard seems to have no patience for her, but Aidan does the job he was hired to do: protect the princess at all costs.
Drawn closer to Aidan, the princess begins to realize there's more to her bodyguard than meets the eye, that her fiancé may not be who she thought he was, and that her life as a royal will never be the same... even if she can manage to survive.
Stormy Tides: The Sythea Chronicles #3
When mermaid Stormy was banished from her home under the Balmor Sea three years ago, she was forced to turn to a life of thieving to survive. After her banishment, she lost her voice and her powers, with no choice but to rely on her wits as she remains on the run from the ruthless Sydon. Stormy scours the high seas for an ancient relic that can help her return home, but she keeps hitting one dead end after another.
After being marooned on a deserted island with her loyal friend Tinker and out of options, they sneak aboard a passing pirate ship belonging to a captain whose reputation precedes him. Everyone who braves the Balmor Sea has heard tales of the fearsome crew with a taste for human flesh. But are the stories really true?
When Stormy is forced to choose between being thrown overboard or forming an alliance with the alarmingly handsome and surprisingly charming Captain H, she begins to realize he isn't who she thought he was, and his crew of lost boys might just mean more good than harm. More importantly, the captain is after the same artifact, a shell imbued with ancient power that can help them both locate a civilization many believe was lost to time. The only problem? A ruthless pirate known as Pan wants it too, and much like Sydon, he doesn't give up easily.
With their enemies quickly closing in, Stormy and Captain H must learn to trust each other... or die trying.
STORMY TIDES, the third installment of THE SYTHEA CHRONICLES, is THE LITTLE MERMAID meets HOOK, a grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, fantasy romance where he falls first.
