If you’re the kind of person who’s willing to try something DIFFERENT, then you might love this enemies-to-lovers horse-shifter romantasy series. Are you ready for stallion shifters, strong, possessive heroes, and smart, yet flawed heroines?

BOOK ONE: My Queendom for a Horse

Kristiana Liepa was supposed to use the money to save her family farm. She was NOT supposed to spend it all to save a massive, black stallion.

But when she saw how he was being treated, what’s a vet to do?

She had no idea that gorgeous beast was really a powerful (and morally gray) magician who had been cursed by a witch, or that she was the only one who could reverse the curse.

And she couldn’t possibly have known how that one rash decision would irrevocably change her life. . . and his.

Still not sure? Publisher’s Weekly said, “My Queendom for a Horse is an intriguing paranormal romance with a fresh and fun setup. [R]eaders will enjoy both the magical and romantic elements. The story of a shapeshifting horse is undoubtedly unique. The author puts a dynamic spin on fairytale tropes, while her knowledge and love of horses is evident throughout. A strong, confident female character takes center stage in this novel with her ability to talk to a cursed horse.”

A princess without her past.
A dark prince bound to fire.
A reckoning that will decide a realm.

Avalynn awakens in the Frost Vale with no memory of who she is or what she’s lost. Taken in by a hidden mountain village, she believes she has always been one of them and begins training as one of their warriors. But when dreams of a dark prince begin to haunt her, she realizes a terrifying truth: war is coming from the south—and she will be called to face it.

Far beyond the Vale, Mateo has become the queen’s greatest weapon. Consumed by dark magic and bound to a dragon’s power, he leaves behind everything he once was—including the love he abandoned and the family and friends he once fought for in the Sublands. Now, he must prove himself worthy of the crown and solidify his place as future king—even if it means burning everything in his path.

With the prophecy slipping out of reach, Avalynn must rediscover who she is before it’s too late. Because the bloodlines that shaped them are stirring—and if Avalynn doesn’t rise, Mateo may fall beyond saving.

In a war of bloodlines and dragons, will love survive the fire—or will Avalynn and Mateo destroy each other first?

Ancient prophecy. Unleashed dragons. A love tested by choice, sacrifice, and flame.
Perfect for fans of Holly Black, Sarah J. Maas, and sweeping epic fantasy romance.

Lies, beauty, and seduction mingle in the first book of an enthralling romantasy series where making art is considered a sin, and the shadows born from it aren’t the only danger to the creators—from the bestselling author of Curse of the Wolf King.

From the art of liars, the monsters came . . .

Ever since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows, creative works have been forbidden and talented creators sacrificed to the Sinless—the immortal royals who feast on human blood in return for their protection.

Inana’s secret storytelling nearly got her killed once, and she’ll be damned if she’s ever caught again. With a bounty on her head, she keeps to the city’s dark underbelly, where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction. Until Dominic, a Shadowbane, catches one of her performances.

Dominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But to complete his hunt, he needs an artist to summon the shadows . . . he needs Inana. Dominic delivers an ultimatum: Serve him or he’ll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left, the choice is clear—at least until she can betray him and leave him for dead.

As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, dark secrets unravel—about each other, their world, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There’s something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.

Betrayed. Hunted. Left for dead. But death itself cannot keep the last ranger from vengeance.

Leiyn “Firebrand” is no stranger to a fight. A brash ranger of the Titan Wilds, she takes up her bow to ward off the titans, colossal spirits always threatening the colonies she has sworn to protect.

But no amount of skill can guard against treachery.

When tragedy strikes the rangers’ lodge, Leiyn vows to avenge the fallen. To succeed, she must embrace a power within her she has long denied.

Power to move mountains and rivers. Power over life and death.

She did not choose this path, but Leiyn knows her duty. Should she fail, the legacy of the rangers will die with her—and all the Titan Wilds shall fall into shadow.

Some spirits demand justice. Others demand blood.

Tanya is not herself. The nightmares. The unexplained odors.
The voice that sometimes sounds like someone else.

When Ellen and Sue realize their friend may be spiritually attached to something beyond their understanding, they follow its trail to New Orleans—where faith, folklore, and history intertwine in the shadow of one of the city’s most infamous houses.

The Lalaurie Mansion.

There, guided by the careful wisdom of a Voodoo priestess, they begin to uncover the truth behind a long-buried injustice—one tied to Madame Delphine Lalaurie’s documented cruelty and a child whose remains were never properly laid to rest.

But this is not a story about superstition.

It is a story about reckoning.

As the women sift through hidden diaries, fragile bones, and whispered legends, they learn that not every spirit seeks revenge. Some seek acknowledgment. Some seek dignity. Some seek release.

And unless they can uncover the truth with respect and compassion, Tanya may remain tethered to a past that refuses to heal.

Mandy has escaped the Dragon Pacification Society with her fae dragon, Beeble, and her new companion, the mysterious marble demon, Stan.

But she was forced to leave her enslaved family behind. And the clock is ticking.

Mandy’s little brother, Binky, and his dragon, have been sold. She has a week to rescue him before he’s taken to work as an indentured rider in a far away world.

The one hope Mandy has is that she can find help at The Library of Alexandria.

Unfortunately, Mandy’s timing couldn’t be worse. The Library of Alexandria is still recovering after being raided by demons, so when she turns up with her demon friend, Stan, the guards assume they’re spies and throw them both into a cell. A comfortable cell. But a cell, nonetheless.

Pick up your copy of The Society for the Protection of Dragons & Magical Creatures & Demons for the final instalment of Mandy’s cosy adventures in The Dragon Society Papers.
