The Harbinger

2018

The rules of the Second, a list by Faith Blackwell. One: technology doesn’t work. The Second doesn’t need electricity when it has magic. Two: don’t trust anyone. The Second’s races—the Elven, the Malus, the Ulen and the Dracon—are way too pretty to trust. Three: when someone tells you you’re the new Harbinger, believe them. Bad things happen if you don’t. Back in the sixties, the last Harbinger permanently opened the gateways between Earth and the Second. Humanity grew accordingly. Faith is in her fifth year at the Academy, with her sight set on joining the Division, the branch of government that enforces what most law enforcement can’t, like smuggling goods between worlds. Following her mother’s footsteps has always been the plan. Of course, she doesn’t want to follow them to a T. Her mother had awful luck with men, as did her grandma. Faith wouldn’t mind finding out what’s so special about a man that it has her quirky grandma swearing at them constantly. A field trip to the Second is just what she needs. Being the first female Harbinger in the Second’s history and having to face down the realm’s most dangerous Dracon, also known as the ridiculously-named Dread King? Not what she needs. Faith isn’t a hero. That sort of responsibility is not what she wants. The perks that come with it—like a sexy but infuriating Elf, a flirty Malus, and a quiet and pensive Ulen—well, maybe for them she’ll make an exception to her grandma’s no-man rule. Maybe she’ll have them all. The Harbinger is the first in a slow-burn, reverse harem fantasy series. Expect eventual hot and steamy scenes, coupled with the Chosen One trope, and a heroine who will reluctantly try to save a world that isn’t hers.

The Fellowship

2018

Reasons why it sucks to be the prophesized Harbinger, a list by Faith Blackwell. One: it means a lot of responsibility. As in, saving an entire realm’s worth of responsibility. Two: it comes with the fragmented memories of past Harbingers, which so far have proven useless. Three: when you come face-to-face with your fated enemy, you’re not supposed to want him to tear off your clothes. That should go without saying. Faith has a lot on her plate. Being the first female Harbinger in the Second’s history, juggling a group of gorgeous guys, and trying to put her all into defeating her archenemy. After seeing what he looks like, though, that last one might be harder than she thought it would be. The Dread King is tall, horned, and evil beyond all measure. She knows she has to beat him, kill him somehow, but that doesn’t stop her from wondering certain things…like what it would feel like to be underneath him. Luckily, she has Light, Jag and Camden to help keep her sane as she tries to stop the Dread King from rising. Oh, and Finnick Cunningham, too—the boy she had the hugest crush on years ago—thanks to the Division’s insistence. His new annoying presence should be enough to keep her on the straight and narrow, right? Faith still doesn’t want to be a hero. She’s not a fan of feeling the weight of the Middleworld on her shoulders. Unfortunately for her, she doesn’t have a choice. She’ll either defeat the Dread King, or she’ll die. The Fellowship is the second in a slow-burn, reverse harem fantasy series. Expect eventual hot and steamy scenes, coupled with the Chosen One trope and a heroine who will step up and save the world only because she has to.

The Dread King

2019

Reasons why being the Harbinger is hard, a list by Faith Blackwell. One: waging war against an enemy whose favorite pastime involves war is pretty much impossible when you have no idea what you’re doing. Two: there’s no manual, no easy how-to guide to show you how to save the realm of the Second and all its races. Three: when you’re fighting confusing feelings involving your supposed arch-nemesis, everything just feels so much harder. Faith Blackwell is the Harbinger of Humankind. The savior of the Second, fated to fight the Dread King Dracyrus. With her fellowship of men guarding both her heart and her body, it should be simple. But with the Elves suspecting her of murder and no army at her back, she has few options. The Well inside the Cave of Memories holds the answers to the riddle of why the Harbinger and the Dread King are fated to fight each other until the end of time. The only problem is no one has ever heard of the Cave of Memories, so finding it will be a challenge. Once Faith has the answers, once she knows the truth, everything will change. When the truth comes to light, her destiny is not what she thought it was. Maybe Dracyrus is not her enemy after all. Faith isn’t a hero. She won’t do whatever it takes to win, but she’ll do what’s right—even if it means giving up. Surrender has never tasted so sweet. The Dread King is a steamy reverse harem fantasy with hot scenes involving an irreverent heroine and her group of men.

The Lionheart

2019

Faith would make a list about why being the Harbinger sucks, but it’s one of the many things that's difficult to do while her memory is gone. So is facing down the Dread King, the enemy she knows in her heart… Faith Blackwell is about to learn things aren’t so simple. The Harbinger and the Dread King are fated to fight until the end of time itself because of an ancient, magical curse, not because of a prophecy—but curses can be broken. Without her fellowship, Faith is taken to the one man in all of the Second who holds the answers for her. Why this began, and why it must end with her. The Lionheart is so much more than he says he is, however, and things are not always what they seem. The fate of the worlds rest on Faith’s shoulders, but coming face to face with the truth? It just might break her. Faith isn’t a hero. She knows what’s right and what’s wrong. Necessary evils are not something she believes in. In order to beat the cycle, she’ll have to stand up for what’s right, but before it’s all over, she’ll face one of the worst betrayals of them all. The Lionheart is a steamy reverse harem fantasy with hot scenes involving an irreverent heroine and her group of men, the fourth installment of The Harbinger series.

Hey guys! I'm a writer, an office worker, a wife, a mother to two dogs and two cats, and half of a strange pair of young adults who flip the houses they're living in with the goal of having no mortgage (so that I can eventually focus on my writing career!). Needless to say, I'm busy. Still, I somehow find time to write, to read, and to enjoy life. Wish there were more hours in the day, really! If you're active on Goodreads and have similar interests, friend me. I don't bite. Or if you'd rather follow my reviews, you can do that, too. Happy reading!
