Wedding planning is about to be the least of Rose’s problems.
After a nearly four-year engagement, Rose ti’Dana is finally ready to tie the knot. She’s found her footing in the Pactlands, made friends, gained employment as the Division of Plants and Potions’ resident farseer, and is deeply in love with Yven ti’Ansha. She’d happily run off to a judge with Yven to make matters official, but her great-grandfather wishes for her to be wed in high style, and Rose doesn’t want to disappoint him.
Unfortunately, Rose doesn’t know how to plan an elven wedding. Enter her cousin Calien, an event coordinator who works with all the hot vendors…and who’s loath to waste her time and talents on quasi-human Rose and her socially inferior fiancé. It might take a miracle for Rose and Calien to make it to the big day without killing each other, but Rose is determined to try.
But with weeks to go before the wedding, rogue sorcerers attack a group of humans in the outside world, and one of Rose’s friends winds up in their crosshairs. As the Pact agents try to make sense of the crime and track the culprits, a much larger scheme begins to come into focus—one that risks the safety of the Pactlands.
Rose only thought her wedding gown would be her biggest headache…
Ash has always loved a good story. Her childhood bookshelves overflowed, and she refused to take notes in her copies of classroom novels because that felt like sacrilege. She wrote her first novel the summer after her freshman year of college and never looked back. (Granted, that novel was an unpublishable 270,000-word behemoth, but everyone has to start somewhere, right?)
After obtaining degrees in English and creative writing and taking a stab at magazine work, Ash decided to put her skillset to different use and went to law school. She then moved home to Alabama, where she works as an attorney. These days, Ash can be found outside of Montgomery with her inordinately fluffy Siberian husky, who loves long walks, car rides, and whatever Ash happens to be eating.
