Our traditions are old, but my wrath is fresh.
Dragonis Academy makes rulers or weapons, and I don’t need a crown to prove myself.
My plan is to enter the academy, march into Shadowcarve, and sharpen into the blade my father always wanted.
I’m a Shadowblade, the hidden knife in the night—unseen by you, unexpected by them, honed for a marriage I never wanted.
Dad took the girl I was, but the woman I am is untouchable.
A fated mate will break my chains, and Dragonis Academy? They’re about to learn what real terror is.
I’m not bending the knee unless I’m kicking the old ways in the teeth.

A brutal Frost King. A bastard fae bride. A bond neither of them wanted.
Everly Elarion never asked to be chosen. A bastard with a dangerous lineage, she’s spent her life surviving in the shadows of powerful men. Now she’s being forced to marry one.
Draven Ashwynter, the Frostgrave King, rules the Winter Court with an iron will and a heart carved from ice. Just when the kingdom teeters on the edge of ruin, the Court’s Visionary comes forth with a solution: the king’s fated mate has been found.
He’s meant to receive a match to his power. An equal. Instead, he gets Everly. She’s illegitimate, defiant, and the last woman who would ever kneel to a king.
She doesn’t trust him. He doesn’t want her. But fate never asked their permission.
As enemies close in and old magics stir beneath the ice, their cold alliance begins to thaw into something far more dangerous than desire. Because in a court ruled by frost and blood, love isn’t just a weakness.
It’s a weapon.
And when war comes for the court, it may not be the kingdom that shatters first.
Fated to the Frost King is a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy, perfect for fans of Shield of Sparrows, Carissa Broadbent, and Sarah J. Maas.

For centuries, tales have told of merfolk haunting the seas, strange creatures teasing or helping sailors at their whim, occasionally having them for dinner.
And not in a cordial sense.
Alexis Silver was ahead of her time, a woman too smart to fit into society at the turn of the century. She gave up her dreams of higher education for love, marrying young, but her husband and the life she wanted perished soon after in World War I.
Heartbroken and restless, Alexis booked passage on a cruise along the West Coast in search of adventure, but adventure found her.
The ship capsized, killing everyone on board—except for her. As she drifted far beneath the waves, inexplicably alive, the reason for her survival flashed by in a streak of silver: a merman.
He had passed along the curse—or gift, as Alexis sees it.
A century later, Alexis breaks up the monotony of immortality in the Pacific Northwest by working as a private investigator. When a nice older couple hires her to find their missing son and his family, her instincts tell her this isn’t a usual missing person case.
It doesn’t take long for Alexis to realize something wicked has arrived in the Puget Sound, and if she doesn’t act fast, a little girl is going to die…
Silver Light is the first book in the Alexis Silver series of underwater-themed mysteries and adventures, and is part of the broader Vampire for Hire world.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
????? “Silver Light is an engrossing story of Alexis Silver who was turned into a mermaid after a ship she was sailing on sank into the deep ocean. She has become a PI and along with the dark entity that has taken up residence in her, they become one kick-ass team of solving cases for those who need their service. If you are a fan of either of these authors or are just looking for an extraordinary new book to read, then pick up Silver Light and lose yourself in this amazing world!” —Amazon review

????? “Silver Light is Great! Having been a fan of the Samantha Moon series I sort of suspected I would enjoy this as well. Boy was I right. I actually laughed out loud several times and the interaction of Alex and her Dark Master. Thoroughly enjoyable read. If you are a fan of Sam you will enjoy this as well. And the little tie-in to the Moon series is a nice little treat.” —Amazon review
????? “An entertaining read with the twist of the main character being a mermaid private investigator. The buildup of the supernatural powers of a mermaid are well developed and draw the reader into this storyline. It is refreshing to have a new mythological entity enter the ring as a heroine. The authors spin a well thought out tale of mystery and supernatural resolution. Starting the second book right away.” —Amazon review

Hidden high above the mortal world, Domus Academy is a secret sanctuary for cambions—the half-human, half-demon children despised by every realm. For Cassia, the academy has always been her home…and her prison.
Born with wings and a past shrouded in secrecy, Cassia has spent her life under the protection of the Elders, isolated from other students and haunted by dreams she can’t explain. When she’s finally thrust into her final year among her peers, she’s determined to prove she belongs—even if that means facing the academy’s fiercest students and their dangerous magic.
But when an intruder breaches Domus and her caretaker is murdered, Cassia’s world shatters. A sacred book containing the names and powers of every cambion is stolen—and the killer may be closer than anyone dares to admit.
To uncover the truth, Cassia must navigate deadly rivalries, forbidden alliances, and a mystery that reaches across realms. Every secret she unearths pulls her deeper into a web of betrayal, revealing that the shadows surrounding her birth may hold the key to saving—or destroying—the academy itself.
