Seraphine Oro is not looking for love. She is looking for answers. When a deadly magical sickness begins spreading through fae territory, the brilliant dragon healer is summoned to London to work with the one man she should never Caldris Vael, the powerful fae king who rules both the mortal world and a hidden realm beyond it. He is ancient. Controlled. Unreadable. And from the moment they meet, something between them feels dangerously inevitable. As the crisis deepens, Seraphine is pulled further into Caldris’s world; into old magic, buried grief, forbidden truths, and a connection neither of them can ignore. But getting too close to the fae king could cost her more than her heart. Because some bonds are chosen and some feel like they were written long before either of them had a say. A sweeping romantasy full of tension, longing, hidden worlds, dangerous magic, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

A wild witch, hunted for her magic. A king's last hope of saving his people. A curse to entangle their fates... ... or tear them forever apart. In a land where faeries enslave witches for their wild powers, Evana has escaped her captor - but no matter how far she runs, she can never escape the darkness of her own magic. When disaster traps her in the snow-swept town of Wildemire, Evana is thrust into new perils: Adrik, the half-faerie who saved her, wields the one power that could free her from her dark magic. To lure Adrik into a bargain, Evana must find a crack in his charming facade before he discovers she is a witch - and before her cursed powers plunge the town into ruin. As the cold worsens and secrets threaten to surface, Evana finds herself at the heart of something sinister: Among the trees lurk strange beasts, people return from the forest half-dead - and in the darkest hours, Evana sees things she should not. A storm is brewing and with it comes a choice: To leave means to doom the town that sheltered her, and to abandon the half-faerie whose infuriating charm threatens to thaw her walls of ice. But to save Wildemire, Evana must face the horrors that twisted her magic into something dark - and risk her life, and her heart, in the process.
