Shortlisted in Muse Awards. "He thought he was the hunter. He didn't know she had nothing left to lose." Trapped within the dark, looming walls of Vaelhorst Palace, Aethelgard is a captive surrounded by enemies. Her survival depends entirely on the mercy of Malakor-a ruthless, hyper-vigilant Dark Lord whose very name strikes terror across the kingdoms. Separated from everything she knows by the treacherous, ink-black waters of The Mourning Tides, escape seems completely impossible. But Malakor underestimates the girl in his shadows. Before sending her to the Dark Lord, the sinister witch known as Pale Marrow ripped away Aethelgard's emotions, leaving her completely hollow. Malakor expects a terrified prisoner, but instead, he faces a mind completely untethered by fear, panic, or mercy. As a dangerous, slow-burn game of wit and proximity unfolds between captive and captor, the lines between hatred and curiosity begin to blur. Aethelgard must use her cold, emotionless clarity to dismantle Malakor's court from the inside-before the magic fades and her feelings come rushing back. A dark fantasy romance filled with royal intrigue, psychological tension, and a toxic power dynamic that will burn down an empire.

Fate moves at its own pace as April, a wolf who has yet to shift and is often criticized by her pack for it, has long abandoned the idea of ever finding a mate. But in an unexpected twist, finds herself mated with Alpha Arik-one of the most powerful wolves in the world. She is convinced that the moment he lays eyes on her, all he'll feel is regret. How wrong she is. ------- Ever since news of the Rogue Queen's brutal attacks on packs spread, April's pack has been on high alert, training relentlessly and preparing to strike. April longs to join them, but without her first shift, she's nothing more than a target of ridicule-a wolf stuck in limbo, unworthy of respect. Her situation worsens when she learns her best friend has found her mate. It's a cruel reminder of what April knows she will never have. She's convinced she's unworthy, destined to be a lone wolf, forever without a mate, and eventually die alone. But fate has other plans. While wandering the forest, April saves a young wolf who turns out to be Reya, the daughter of Alpha Arik-one of the strongest Alphas, haunted by the Rogue Queen's deadly path. Arik has only two things he cares about: his daughter and his pack. The loss of his Luna ten years ago left a void in him that he's never filled, and with the Rogue Queen closing in, he's not willing to lose the last things he holds dear. He swore he no longer needed a mate. But when fate intertwines April's path with his, everything he believed about mates dies in an instant. Though his heart has been closed off for years, April slips in, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to let her go. Too bad she doesn't believe she's worthy. And too bad he refuses to accept that.
