Phantom: An Epic Romantic Fantasy
Not yet published
Expected 10 Mar 26A Gothic epic romantic fantasy for fans of The Serpent & the Wings of Night and Iron and Embers with slow-burn rivals-to-lovers, found family, and courtly intrigue.
A SECRET ASSASSIN
As war threatens to return to Draykemire and tensions between the courtier and noble classes grow, nobleman-by-day assassin-by-night Lord Silas Graveston has a choice to make—Ignore the insult to his family strutting about the queen’s palace on the arm of his enemy or endanger his recent promotion as the public right-hand of his duke.
A CAPTIVE FAE
The provocation—a stolen emerald necklace—and the fae who wears it are both more than they appear. The necklace bears layered enchantments tantamount to a curse, and the fae cloaks herself in as many secrets as Silas himself.
Her name is Natalya Slipshayde, and she’s come to the court for a single purpose. Revenge.
A MISSING HEIR
Neither Silas nor Natalya realize that they’re tangled in forces far greater than treacherous courtly wiles and personal vendettas. There’s a battle for the future of Draykemire being waged behind the whispers of the court. And at the center of that battle, the search for a missing fae heir who’s the key to the future of both the kingdom and her world.
A morally gray hero and a stabby heroine find themselves bound together in this first-in-series epic romantic fantasy with courtly intrigue, found family, and forced proximity.
