About the Books

 

The Oath (The Trials of Power, Book 2)

 

The heart-stopping conclusion to an addictive romantasy duology with a why-choose romance – the perfect cure for book hangovers.

 

Even in the light, you can't outrun your shadows.

 

Zinha Falcona has succeeded in her most dangerous assignment yet: she infiltrated The Trial of Power, seduced the Maetorian Heir as well as his lover, and put her King on the throne of Maetora.

 

But perhaps death would have been preferable to betraying the men and the country she has come to love. Zinha has done the unforgivable, and is desperate for a chance to make it right. With Reyher and Mateo on the run to restore the Heir's familial power, and Baleful assassins hot on their heels, she might just have the chance to do so.

 

Old enemies and unexpected allies emerge in the race to reclaim the throne. And as Zinha holds the fate of the kingdom, and her lovers, in her hands, the same rule applies as before:

Succeed or die.

 

The Changeling

 

Set against Scotland’s first witch-hunt, a young woman with faery blood must defy two queens to survive love, magic and treachery.

 

On her fourteenth birthday, Caiti NicNeven discovers her true mother is the queen of the Sidhe, the faery folk who dwell beneath Scotland’s hollow hills. Bound by ancient grievance, the faery queen demands Caiti become the instrument of her revenge against the mortal crown stolen a thousand years before.

 

Drawing on a dangerous magic she barely understands, Caiti flees. She finds refuge at the treacherous court of Mary, Queen of Scots. As fear and religious fervour grip the country, Mary is pressured into passing an Anti-Witchcraft Act, placing every woman – and every whispered spell – in peril.

 

Watching from the shadows, the faery queen tightens her hold. When Caiti falls in love with Robbie, the son of a local laird, her mother strikes, cursing him to dance himself to death beneath the faery moon.

 

To save the man she loves, Caiti must cross into the faery realm and confront the mother who would destroy her – and claim a wild, dangerous magic of her own.

 

Inspired by the true story of Scotland’s first witch-hunt, The Changeling is a spellbinding tale of witchcraft, forbidden love and defying fate.
