A Spy's Fateful Bond
2024
A Father kidnapped by Orcs.
A daughter willing to risk everything to save her Father’s life.
A handsome Fae King willing to do anything to win her heart.
Emilia leads a simple life with her half-brother and adoptive father. Until one day, a neighbouring Orc clan invades her peaceful life and kidnaps her father. They give her two either spy for them in exchange for her father's life, or they kill him on the spot. Afraid and hesitant, she chooses to become a spy for them.
But what she doesn't expect is a distraction from her task. One trip and one chance meeting with the Day Court King changes it all. It makes her question if returning to her humble life in the village is all she wants or if there is something more out there. The question is, will Emilia trust the King - who offers her everything- or will her fear of losing her family in the process make her give up on a dream she never knew she had?

2024
A human, the spirit bond to the Fae King.
Mysterious murders disrupting city life.
A choice between love and loyalty.
Emilia finally thought her life would settle down after her Orc father was successfully rescued from the Northern Clans. Her biggest stress should be finalizing her bonding ceremony with Timas, the Fae King—but it isn’t.
Tensions are mounting as murders continue in the Day Court capital, Sonas. The people are terrified and losing trust in the king. The council– normally there to advise – wants to use its power to supersede his wishes.
Then, an unexpected visitor shows up, claiming to be able to solve all their problems, but the price is steep, and it might just cost Emilia everything she holds dear.

Bonded by Destiny
2025
A bond I fought. A princess I couldn't resist.
I know my place in this world. I'm the blacksmith who forges weapons for the Day Court, the half-breed brother of their queen. I've got my forge, my hammer, and enough sense to know when something's not for me.
Then I saw her. Alette. A Human princess with sad eyes and too much strength for someone so delicate. The soul bond hit me like a hammer to the anvil—immediate, undeniable, and completely unwanted.
I knew what would happen if I fought it. Every Orc does. Fight the bond, lose your mind. But Humans don't stay with Orcs. My mother proved that twice over. Better to go mad than watch her walk away.
So I pushed her away first. Made her think I hated her. And when she returned to the Human kingdom for her arranged marriage, I told myself it was for the best.
Now the darkness is winning. The rage builds every day without her. My choice is clear—follow her into the Human kingdom and claim what my soul says is mine, or let the madness take me completely.
I'd rather face execution in the Human court than live another day without my soul bond.
I'm Garrick. And this is how I nearly lost everything because I was too stubborn to admit that sometimes, what scares you most is exactly what you need.
Bonded by Destiny is a companion novel to The Fae King Duology and can be read as a standalone! It's a closed-door romantasy featuring forbidden love, soul-bonds, court politics, morally gray nobles, "you touched her, you will perish," tender blacksmith hands, and found family. Perfect for readers who love seeing prejudice challenged by destiny's choice. One-click today and discover if fate knows better than centuries of hatred.
Bonded by Destiny is Garrick's story and a guaranteed HEA.

Bonded Across Courts
2025
Some fires can't be contained. Some shadows refuse to be ignored.
Oh, hello there. Captain Milori of the Noble Guard at your service. Let me tell you about the time my centuries-long wait for a spirit bond finally ended—in complete disaster.
All I've ever wanted was to find my other half, that perfect mate the old stories promise. Instead, I got a mysterious Night Court spy who took one look at me and decided I was the last fae in the realm she wanted to be bonded to. Which is a problem, since she's undeniably my spirit bond—my destined mate, the other half of my soul, and quite possibly the most stubborn shadow walker I've ever met.
Now she's refusing to acknowledge our connection, I'm trying to convince her that destiny isn't so bad (especially when it looks like me), and we're both caught in the middle of an ancient conspiracy that's kept our people divided for centuries. Between dangerous rebels, uncovering family secrets, and returning to the island home I've avoided for decades, I'm also trying to woo the one woman who seems completely immune to my legendary charm.
Nesi may have walls higher than the palace, but I'm nothing if not persistent. After all, I've waited centuries for her—what's a spirit bond worth if you don't have to work for it?
My name is Milori, and this is the story of how I found my heart in the shadows.
