They want me to take down a shadow mage bent on ripping the veil between the magical and mundane worlds apart with that? Are they serious? Yeah, hard pass.

That is, until I'm forced to ally with a cave-dwelling, cobweb-munching, mildew-encrusted drow. If I wasn’t hardwired to protect the innocent, I’d let this shadow mage summon the Wild Hunt and go on a murderous rampage to overthrow the humans in a heartbeat. And this arrogant drow thinks I don’t have what it takes because I’m too nice? Oh honey, do you think I wear these bladed fans just for show? He’s grumpy. She’s pure sunshine. The world is on the brink of chaos… and they're expected to save it. Preferably before they kill each other.

Cloak and Dagger

2023

If they can overcome their differences, their powers will pair perfectly. And that’s precisely what Delta Underground Operatives needs: a crazy powerful assassin team who can save the world… Timmeron: For over 800 years, I’ve embraced life and opposed all who deny it, so joining DUO was an easy choice. Even easier, since I was already running from a secret left long behind in the elven realm. I haven’t shared it with anyone, especially my human dualcaster partner. She thinks I’m pure goodness, and I don’t have the courage to tell her the truth. To be honest, I don’t have the courage to tell her a lot of things. Our dualcasting partnership – and our lives – depends on my secrets staying just that. Val: I learned all about the necromantic arts, but I refuse to mess with zombies, because gross. I also won’t read minds. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it. I’ll happily dispatch anyone trying to destroy the world. But work with a hippy dippy wood elf? My Magic 8 Ball says “Not for all the jalapeño chips in the world” (and I LOVE jalapeño chips). Unfortunately, I’m stuck with the tree-hugging, long-eared lug, so I’ve got to figure out how to make this work. And soon, too—completing our latest assignment demands we trust each other like never before. He delivers life with a touch. She can sap it from across the room.

Soul Reaper

2023

A web carefully spun is the most dangerous of all. It is precise. It has fail-safes. It is inevitable. Eryn and Larcen never stood a chance. An old evil had laid the foundation for their demise centuries ago. Fate might have sealed them together, but ancient history is tearing them apart. The Spider Queen will not let her claim to the Night Lands go without a fight, and in order to survive, the dualcasters must separate, each to their ancestral home. Each to retrieve a weapon from their past that will end the threat to their world. Yet, like the power they share, one will not work without the other. And while they search, their list of enemies keeps growing. One side craves a war, the other demands dominion. Eryn and Larcen have more than one army to fight, but first, they have to fight their way back to each other. This epic conclusion to the Saga of Shadowed Stars has all the urban fantasy kick-buttery galore; all the stabby pointy things; slow burn romance (Do they finally kiss after four books?!); magic; myths & legends; the Southern charm of Savannah, Georgia; and, of course, that rascally posse of garden gnomes and the People’s Choice Cinnamon Roll, Rumple.
