What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?

When Luna is sold into marriage to the Prince of Darkness, she thinks she knows what to expect. Arranged marriages happen all the time, right? Wrong. No one could have prepared her for the reality of being married to the vampire prince.

Ever since the day he was Made, Sebastian has been living according to Queen Marguerite’s rules. After all, he’s only alive because of her. When she orders him to marry and Bind himself to Luna, a human hailing a neighboring kingdom, he has no choice. He agrees to the marriage but never expects to feel anything for Luna.

When their Binding Ceremony goes awry, and they are magically Tethered, everything is thrown into upheaval. Unable to leave each other’s presence, they must learn to live with each other. Or die.

Tethered is a slow-burn arranged marriage epic romantic fantasy and is filled with forced proximity, magical bindings, vampires, and world-building.

Tethered takes place in the same world as Of Earth and Flame. It can be enjoyed on its own or alongside The Ithenmyr Chronicles.

Tethered

Daniela A. Mera

An urban fantasy Romeo and Juliet retelling perfect for fans of Crescent City and The Cruel Prince.
“We reached across the sea and found each other, only to lose everything at the hands of fate.”

Two Courts.
Two Fae.
One Winter, one Summer.
A sea between them.
One forbidden love.

Elva
I am not a good Fae. Maybe I was at one point, but things change. I have been shaped into the Fae I am today. Cold. Heartless. Uncaring. I spend my days hunting the worst criminals in our world. For a long time, I didn’t care what happened to me. Then one day, I meet a Summer Fae that I can’t get out of my head. Every time I see him, our connection grows.
Nathaniel
The day I saw my life flash before my eyes, I was freezing my ass off at the docks, helping a mysterious early morning shipment. She turned around and it just sort of… happened. It sounds more dramatic than it was. It's a lousy idea to have a crush on a bounty hunter. Then, just like that, she is gone. And I’ve decided I will do whatever it takes to find her. Even if it means risking my own life.

"A delicious Romeo and Juliet retelling with a better ending."

Romancing Aranthium #1: A Fae Romeo and Juliet Retelling

Opposite Ends of the Sea

An urban fantasy Little Mermaid retelling perfect for fans of Crescent City and The Cruel Prince.
Everything changes when the Ice Mer King says, “I want you to kill my daughter.”

Erik

I am the Pirate of Death. I have spent my life on the seas, maintaining my reputation as one of the most fearsome pirates to ever sail the waters in Aranthium.

Then, the Ice Mer King makes a deal with me. Kill his daughter, and my life-debt is paid.

Fail, and my life is forfeit.

Sounds easy, right? If only the princess didn’t have such a talent for getting under my skin and consuming my thoughts.

Helena

My father trades my voice for legs I don't want. A whole month on a human-only crew doesn’t sound like my idea of fun.

What I want is love, safety and family. Somehow, I find myself tangled up with a dangerous Pirate whose fate lies in my hands.

Falling in love with him is exciting, effortless. But I don’t want to be owned by anyone.

“Little Mermaid meets Captain Hook, except the voiceless heroine has a knife? Yes please.”

The Pirate's Deal

One choice. One bite. Two fates rest in the balance. After the harrowing events with the People of the Night, Luna and Sebastian deal with the aftermath of his decision. In a land full of vampires, finding happiness has never been more challenging. Their troubles are far from over. When Queen Marguerite summons the pair back to Castle Sanguis to participate in a deadly tournament, nothing goes as it should. Luna and Sebastian make their way through the tournament, uncovering hidden motives behind the queen’s request for their participation. The queen’s game is not just a competition, but a test of their loyalty to the crown. As Luna and Sebastian navigate treacherous alliances, dangerous foes, and deadly threats, they must rely on their wits and love for each other to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. The cost of failure is death.

Tormented

In a world where darkness reigns, the cost of love is eternal. Eleyta's throne belongs to the most powerful vampire, and it's up to Sebastian and Luna to challenge the queen and save the realm. Unfortunately, that won't be easy. Having survived Queen Marguerite's deadly tournament, they are fugitives. Despite the peril lurking in the shadows, escape is not an option. The prophecy is hanging over their heads. The darkness is here, and the red moon will soon rise. Sebastian's bond with his Maker must be broken, and they need to learn the Tether's secrets before time runs out.

The Binding Chronicles #2

Tormented 

An urban fantasy Hades and Persephone retelling perfect for fans of Crescent City and The Cruel Prince.
“Putting aside the fact that he was my ex-boss and the fact he had orchestrated my kidnapping, I had no business being the wife of a king.”

Aidoneus

My first wife died three centuries ago. Now, Aranthium was facing a major threat. Time without having a queen had weakened my powers. In order to win the war against my brother Phelix, I needed to remarry.

After months of being paraded around with the most eligible Aranthian bachelorettes, I made my choice. Phaedra was not a princess, nor did she come from a powerful family. But, somehow, she had the power of the gods. She was exactly what I needed in my life.

The only problem was she made me feel things I had no right feeling for someone a quarter of my age.

Phaedra

I grew up in a gilded cage, unable to spread my wings. My mother never let me have the freedom I craved. Then, when I was beginning to live my life as an independent Angel in Olimpie, I was abducted by the King of the Daemons for my own “safety”.

I worked for him for years, but one day, things changed. After an attack on the city I had come to call my home, I was in a coma for months. When I woke up, new power flowed through my veins.

Aidoneus needed a wife. I needed someone to balance the power before it destroyed me. Hades approached me with a proposal: marriage. As friends. Nothing more.

Resisting the King of the Daemons was a lot more difficult than I had ever bargained for.
