A young woman disappears simply because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The man who takes her sees her as just another piece in a game designed to entertain him, excite him, and remind him that almost nothing is beyond his reach.
Serena is young, sheltered, and eager to step beyond the narrow world in which she has grown up. When she vanishes, her disappearance seems to leave nothing behind but questions.
Alfio is a gifted artist still waiting for his life to begin. Insecure, ironic, and hopelessly drawn to a woman beyond his reach, he is about to enter a world whose rules he barely understands.
That woman is Brünhild, a professional dominatrix who has spent years turning control into identity and vulnerability into power.
Grigoriy Medved, a Russian oligarch accustomed to treating people like pieces on a chessboard, watches and manipulates everyone from the heights of his power. Wealth has taught him that almost anything can be bought. Power, that almost anyone can be used.
As their paths converge, seduction turns into manipulation, fantasy spills into violence, and every choice opens another move in a game Medved believes he has already won.

Queenswood is a lush, lyrical historical fantasy debut that transports readers to twelfth-century Ireland.In twelfth-century Ireland, girls go missing—fleeing arranged marriages, carried off by outlaws, abducted by faeries. Rhiannon, treasured daughter of nobility, believes herself secure, shielded by her parents’ stone manor and friendship with the king. But as her beauty grows and suitors jostle for her dowry, she watches her father’s tenants wrung dry in order to supply the banquet for her older sister’s wedding, and realizes the marriage market is a game she does not want to win. A convent offers a life of books and learning, although it means turning her back on mortal men for good.Angus, Crown Prince of Faerie, grew up in the Queenswood, the enchanted old-growth forest that feeds all the woodlands of Earth and Faerie. Even once he comes of age, Angus much prefers roaming the wilds over the High Court than the responsibility of choosing a bride. But when he sees his mother fading—and the Queenswood dropping its leaves in mourning—he knows he cannot put it off any longer. He must do his duty as the prince and journey to the human world to find a maiden who can become the next Queen of Faerie.Set in an Ireland still reeling from the Norman invasions, Queenswood combines a deep and immersive historical world with folkloric fantasy adventure.
