Spotify Playlist The LoversIn 1928, New Orleans is rife with young love and a blossoming night scene. But to Rebecca, New Orleans is the next stop on her hunt for the vindictive witch that cursed her.

After 200 years, Rebecca is weary. As she hunts for a way to break the curse, she finds herself torn between Thomas and the one thing she thought she’d never find: a new love. Spotify Playlist Gamble of the CrownLife under the rule of the fae has never been glamorous. Since the death of their parents, Lina set aside her dreams of adventure and now makes do by picking pockets, taking odd jobs, and doing whatever necessary to care for her much younger sister.
When a handsome fae sees Lina earning her keep in a fighting pit, he invites her to be his champion in a competition to determine the next ruler of the kingdom. But it won’t be the fae lords competing, it will be their human champions. The human victor will not only choose the head the crown will rest on, but they will bind their life to the heir to become one of the fae themselves. It’s too good a chance to pass up. Leaving everything behind is hard, but if Lina has an opportunity to win a brighter future for herself, her sister, and humanity, she’s willing to try. The trials aren’t the only danger she will face: the court of the fae royals is filled with lies, greed, and treachery. It's a gamble for the crown, and Lina intends to win by any means necessary.

In the Shadow of the Wood
|
“I have always lived in the village on the edge of the wood, growing up with stories of vampires who lusted for blood and werewolves ripping through flesh on a full moon night. When I was young, I thought these stories were to frighten us of the wood, to ensure we would never enter. But as I got older I realized that these stories were another form of protection. There were monsters in the wood, that much was true, but there was also something else. A darkness that could not be explained. And it was the unknown that was the most terrifying part of all.”
In a village on the edge of the wood filled with dark and terrifying creatures, magic has been banned. Quiet and reserved, Caelia dreams of one day escaping the confines of her village and the threat of the wood, where magic users are banished. When she is attacked by a fellow member of the village, magic burst from her, much to her surprise. Despite acting in self-defense, she is tried for her use of magic and sentenced to the wood she has grown up fearing. Banished in the deadly wood, Caelia befriends a handsome stranger. Together they work to control Caelia’s magic, and unravel the many secrets of the wood. Spotify Playlist |
