This COMPLETE SERIES COLLECTION includes all three books in the trilogy in a single volume: A Throne of Shadows, A Cage of Crystal, and A Fate of Flame.

A feisty outlaw.
A conniving prince.
A war of magic and shadows.

Wanted by the crown for a murder she didn’t commit, Cora dreams of getting revenge on the mage who framed her. In the meantime, she hides in the forest and hones her witch magic. But when she discovers her enemy’s violent hunt for rare and endangered unicorns, she forms a plan for vengeance.

Prince Teryn, heir to a bankrupt throne, will do anything to keep his country from sinking into ruin. When he meets an outlawed witch wanted by a neighboring kingdom, he gets his chance. The woman has an impressive bounty on her head, one that could pay off his kingdom’s debts.

If Teryn can help Cora save a few magical creatures, he can gain her trust, hand her over to her king, and collect the bounty. But Cora has plans of her own, and none of them include being betrayed by her handsome new traveling companion.

The closer Cora and Teryn get to their desires, the harder their tasks become. And it isn’t just their budding attraction that’s the problem. A secret war is coming, one stemming from ancient feuds and forgotten fae magic. They must work together to stop it, or else both their kingdoms will crumble to ash.

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.

They came with fire and banners. By dusk, his father’s head rolled across the courtyard stones.

Ragnar Wolfsbane watched from his knees as the Empire executed his chieftain father before their conquered people.

In one brutal day, his homeland falls, his sister becomes a hostage, and everything he trained to protect burns to ash.

Now Ragnar faces an impossible choice: die with honour like his father, or live as the Empire’s tamed wolf.

Dragged to the enemy’s capital as a political pawn, he discovers a darker game—one where yesterday’s allies become tomorrow’s betrayers, and survival means learning to bite the hand that feeds you.

But when palace halls run red with blood and steel meets steel in midnight corridors, Ragnar begins to understand a dangerous truth: empires built on fear can crumble from within.

Sometimes the best revenge isn’t a sword in the night—it’s a patient wolf learning the shape of his enemy’s throat.

A brutal tale of vengeance and survival perfect for readers who crave the morally grey heroes of Joe Abercrombie and the intimate violence of John Gwynne.

The Fall of Wolfsbane launches the complete Ravenglass Legends series—where honour is a luxury and revenge requires sacrifice.

Adventure? Check. Magic? Check. Sarcasm? You bet.

After years of running down dead-end clues, the rogue Never has nearly given up his quest for answers; his blood is cursed and his true name a mystery, yet no library, no healer, and none who claim to know dark magics have ever been able to help.

Until he steals a map to the mysterious Amber Isle, which might just hold the answers he needs.

But Never isn’t the only one who wants the map – an old enemy, Commander Harstas, also seeks it, and Harstas craves revenge for the deaths of his men.

Forced to flee through a war zone, Never soon stumbles across a group of treasure hunters hoping to discover the wonders of the Amber Isle for themselves. But the deeper they venture into the Isle, the more deadly it grows.

Trapped between the greed of the treasure hunters, cunning traps in the Isle itself, the threat of Harstas’ fury and his own desperation to finally uncover answers, Never must find a way to unlock the Isle’s ancient secrets and escape – or perish without ever learning the truth.

Getting his hands on the map might prove to be Never’s most dangerous heist yet. When the city is invaded in the middle of his caper, Never trades stealth for brute force to save the map before it burns along with the city.

But his violence has consequences. As he makes an enemy of the invading commander, can Never survive long enough to secure the map as well as his getaway, or will he go down in flames?
