Lord of Gold and Glory

Iron

Velvet

Stealing from a fae lord is a desperate plan... As a human servant at the Crimson Court, Allie knows better than to anger the fae. Cunning and politics are her tools of survival. But when an unwanted suitor threatens her younger sister, Allie can think of only one way to protect her family... Steal from the fae. Agenor, Lord Protector of the Fae Isles and right hand of the Mother herself, doesn't expect anything to still surprise him after twelve centuries of life. Finding a taunting note from an anonymous thief in his wardrobe is enough to rouse his curiosity, though. Enough to do the unthinkable - write back. Then he finds out he's been exchanging letters with a humble human. Worse, a human challenging him to his face. A simple bargain is supposed to teach her a lesson. But the harder he tries to put her in her place, the harder she defies him... Soon their game sparks an unexpected romance - but will even love be enough when their loyalties collide? Heart of Silk and Shadows is a prequel novel to the upcoming Fae Isles series. It can be read as a standalone, but the characters' journey continues in the main series. Note: this adult fae romance contains a generous dose of smouldering glances, passionate longing, and midnight meetings of the illicit type. It is recommended for a mature audience.

Killing a fae king is hard. Doing so politely is even harder. Briannis Iavi - well-bred lady and accidental assassin - is so close to securing the life of her dreams. All she needs to do is complete one last job: make her way into fae territory, sneak into the enchanted halls of Rosethorn Keep, and kill the king of Faerie. But her plan goes disastrously wrong, and Briannis finds herself a captive at her target's mercy instead. Cursed to a life of loneliness and slow decay, the monstrous fae king seems hell-bent on revenge - and if he can't hurt the human rulers who sent her, he'll amuse himself with her instead. Unable to escape his sentient castle or to disobey his commands, Briannis has no choice but to fall back on her sharpest weapon: her wits. Tricking fae is a dangerous game, however. And miles away from the respectable life she thought she knew, even her knives and poisons may not be enough to protect her heart ... Bridgerton meets The Cruel Prince in this steamy Beauty and the Beast retelling. Featuring a tormented hero, an almost-proper heroine, and a castle that's just trying to help, Curse of the Thorn King is the first in a series of standalone fantasy romances with an overarching plot.

And the political games of the Alliance are the easy part ... Haunted by shadows of his past and magic he never wanted to wield, Creon is slowly losing control of his powers. The only solution may be found outside the buried halls of the Alliance's stronghold - back within reach of the Mother and her armies hunting for him.
