The Key to Erebus

The truth can kill you… Taken as a small child, from a life where faeries, sirens and mythical creatures are real and treacherous, Jéhenne Corbeaux is totally unprepared when she returns to France to stay with her eccentric Grandmother. Thrown headlong into a world she knows nothing about she seeks to learn the truth about herself, uncovering secrets more shocking than anything she could ever have imagined and finding that she is by no means powerless to protect the ones she loves. Despite her Gran’s dire warnings, she is inexorably drawn to the dark and terrifying figure of Corvus, an ancient vampire and master of the Albinus family. Jéhenne is about to find her answers and discover that, not only is Corvus far more dangerous than she could ever imagine but that he holds much more than the key to her heart…

The Heart of Arima

2014

An eternity bound to the man you love may seem like a dream come true but what if you were forced to do something he could never forgive you for? That man is Corvus, ancient vampire and Master of the Albinus family and his patience is wearing thin. He has waited for Jéhenne Corbeaux's return for many centuries and now, her time is up. Still in possession of the key to the underworld, in debt to an angel, pursued by both the Prince of Alfheim and a man so terrifying she cannot imagine what he is, Jéhenne is up to her neck...as usual. As she finally comes to terms with her own incredible powers, a vision begins to haunt the young witch that threatens to destroy everything she loves. Sacrifice's will have to be made but just who is going to pay the price?

The Fires of Tartarus

2016

Their love spans millennia and defies the gods. In a last desperate act, Jéhenne Corbeaux's lover, Corvus, Master of the vast and powerful Albinus family, sacrificed himself to an eternity of suffering to save her from a vengeful god. But Jéhenne is no damsel in distress waiting for a hero to rescue her and she cannot face the future while Corvus suffers. Sworn to make Dis Pater, god of the Underworld, pay for all he has done to them and bring her man home, she ignores the desperate warnings that Corvus will be irrevocably changed, driven to madness by all he has suffered. To save him she will have to journey through the underworld and into the infernal depths of Tartarus to face the monsters that dwell within. But in her absence a new threat surfaces from an unexpected source and she will need all of her powers and cunning to keep the family together. She must prove that she is far more than she appears whilst concealing the dangerous truth of her own identity. Everyone has their own agenda and with terrifying enemies and even scarier allies appearing on all sides, she must decide who to trust, risking everything to fight for the man she loves and the family he left in her care. Time is running out and Jéhenne knows that if she fails, she and everyone she loves is damned.

The Son of Darkness

2020

The thrilling conclusion… Jéhenne Corbeaux has faced extraordinary enemies and more dangers than anyone has the right to survive, but now she must confront her past in order to find her son. Corvus, Master of the vast and powerful Albinus family is back where he belongs with his beloved wife at his side. The shadow of his time in Tartarus still clings to him though, and his control is not what it once was. Jéhenne, witch, goddess, and Mistress of their great family is not a woman to mess with, but there’s one man who she’ll obey without question—because she has no choice—and it isn’t her husband. Corin Albrecht, the most powerful Fae their world has ever seen, has a hold on Jéhenne that Corvus knows nothing about. If the truth comes out, the results could be spectacular and deadly. Guided by the half-fae mercenary, Dragon, on a journey into the war-torn Fae Lands, Jéhenne faces dangers the like of which she has never before seen—and the most dangerous of all, the truth of what passed between her and Corin, and the lies she told to keep herself safe. On her quest to find her son, hidden from her by the boy’s father, Dis Pater, Jéhenne is accompanied by those she trusts and loves most. Corvus, her brother Cain, best friend Rodney, and also Kai, searching for the family he’s never known. There is much to be discovered on this perilous journey, and a great deal to lose. Jéhenne wants to return home with the family she has always longed for but as always… there is a price to pay.
