After a thousand years of separation, the Four Houses of Magic walk together once again. A witch, a werewolf, a fae and a vampire stood at the gates of the fae city and stopped a rising darkness. And while the powers that govern their worlds want to believe that darkness ended with a rogue witch, the true danger lies buried much deeper… Rose LeFey wishes the threat ended with her aunt, but it rages on—the conspiracy behind her aunt’s destruction and those who aided that carnage, not to mention Rose’s own burning desire to use her reclaimed blood magic. Most of all, the intense bond she feels with the werewolf Dar has only grown stronger. The trail leads Rose, her allies, and the werewolf she wants more than anything to the one place she absolutely can’t touch him—home. New Orleans. But the center of witch governance in North America is not the city she left. Ancient barriers are falling apart. Vampires rampage through the streets, abduct tourists. As the witch council claws for control, they deny their weakness and turn their blame on Rose’s blood magic. In the face of their condemnation, Rose and Dar grow closer, dangerously so. And Rose and her friends discover the conspiracy runs deeper than they’d imagined—all the way into the grave.

The characters I care about aren't content with the status quo. They don’t sit in some narrow, boilerplate box and do what they’re told—they break the laws of their worlds, defying everything for what's right and for true love. Whether battling fantastical odds, facing science fiction dilemmas or nursing a supernatural heartache, they challenge expectations and change their worlds. I love complex worlds and even more complex characters. Fantasy, science fiction, paranormal, romance and geekery abound—and they're holding hands with opinions. Sometimes created while appreciating a fine rye. Probably NSFW. I’m not only an author, I’m a visual artist. Decades of creating imagery in multiple mediums and the desire to see my characters brought to life led me to create book covers. I might have started with my own, but now I craft carefully branded, personalized covers for many authors. Aside from authoring and drawing, I live with my husband and our Great Dane, Fable (aka Mistress of Menace, Duchess of Oof, the Terror Beast) in beautiful Vancouver. When I’m not creating, I’m enjoying a long walk with my giant doggo, or shooting some monsters in a co-op video game with my husband. Above all, I love crafting exciting tales that pull at your heartstrings—and maybe your pant-strings—stories which excite and sweep readers into new worlds and leave them wanting more.
