"I will destroy you. I’ll see you on your knees, and you will weep at my feet. You will beg. And when all that is done, you will meet my dagger. This is a fae's promise."
Welcome to the brutal world of the light and the dark fae—and their ruthless love.
_Nari is a foolish little halfling. She went and gave her heart to a dark fae. And then she broke his..._ Breaking a dark fae's heart is a death wish, but Nari did just that all those years ago. Now, in the Midlands where the light and dark fae come together to train, Nari and Daxeel meet again—and he is not the young male she fell in love with. Daxeel has made it clear he has no intention of forgiving her betrayals. He is out for revenge. He means to break her. Lust still burns between them, and Nari hopes her art of seduction is enough to save her. She has one goal—to win him back. Nari needs Daxeel to save herself from a violent marriage to a cruel light male, and to heal her own yearning heart.
But Daxeel shows no mercy.
In the fight between a dark male and light halfling, will they survive the battle between them?

2024
“Look how easily you submit; how easily you cry; how quickly you beg... I wonder Nari, when I'm through with you... How softly you'll die?”
Welcome to the brutal world of the light and the dark fae—and their ruthless love.
_To break a dark fae’s heart is a death wish. A fatal slight, one Nari will pay for in her blood—And Daxeel comes to collect._ When her sister can’t stand in the Sacrament, Nari is faced with the horror of the task—she must be the one to represent the family in this brutal battle between light and dark. Nari’s skills aren’t for war, and it’s no lie to say she will die in the Sacrament. No chance of survival—and all her hope to escape the bloodbath rests with the one dark fae who’s desire is to have her then destroy her.
Daxeel.
He's as merciless as he is beautiful, and she's no longer the light to his dark. They aren’t young fae anymore, stealing moments under willow trees—he is a warrior, strong and callous and carved from ice.
Nari is just the halfling who shamed him ten years ago. All that keeps her alive is a flimsy bargain, one that has an expiry date. Time is against her. Nari only has one month to escape her duty to the Sacrament and to win back Daxeel’s cold, dead heart. If she doesn’t die trying. ————————————————————————————————————————————— Cursed Shadows is a trilogy set in the Dark Fae Universe. There is no reading order for the series in this world.

Cursed Shadows 4 (The Dark Fae) (Cursed Shadows
2024
“Our story ends with the Sacrament.” Welcome to the brutal world of the light and the dark fae—and their ruthless love. Everything Nari did was to spare herself from the Sacrament. But Daxeel had his own schemes of revenge. He fights his renewed feelings for her—and lures her into the trap. Nari enters the resting place of the gods... to fight for her life. On the Mountain of Slumber, born of ice and lava, of blood and stone, no one is Nari's friend. But everyone is an enemy. Both the light and the dark hunt her. The light aim to kill her. To kill Nari, means to kill Daxeel. Take out the evate, take out the male. The dark mean to maim her. Capture her. Then drag her to the summit—where she will be sacrificed.... by Daxeel. This was his plan all along. Keep her close, save her just to sacrifice her to Mother, the god of all gods, and exchange her for the Cursed Shadows. With those shadows, the human realm belongs to the dark ones. Nari is no warrior. She is no soldier. She is just a halfling from a village. Nari is no hero. She is no one's sacrifice. Her strategy on the mountain is simple: hide and survive. A goal that seems more impossible every brutal day on this mountain.
