Blood slave to courtier of the Winter fae . . . you’d think I’d moved up.
I’m not so sure.

The auction block awaits and a vicious vampire prince wants me and what flows through my veins.

So I make a run for it, only to end up falling at the feet of a fae warden. Technically, Roar, the Warden of the West should return me to the vampire court, but he has other ideas.

He needs a fake fiancée.

The deal: if I play his dutiful partner at the Winter Court, and help him trick the cold King of Winter, Roar will hide me from the blood-suckers intent on draining the life from me.

I agree, and for a while, it seems like nothing can go wrong.

That is, until Vale, Warden Roar’s nemesis, sets his sights on me.

They call me the dagger.

I’m an assassin and that’s all I’ve ever known.

So when a white rabbit tells me that loved ones are waiting for me in the Wonderland Court of Faerie, it’s surprising. And then, I learn something even more shocking.

The Red Queen stole the Crown of Wonderland from my mother. Murdered her too. The queen singlehandedly created my reality of death and blood and murder.

While that’s devastating, I can handle those emotions. Its what I have been trained to do.

What I don’t know how to handle is rebel leader Henri Hatter.

He’s loved by everyone. A man who sings in the streets because people ask for aether’s sake. A faerie who knows more about my past than anyone—including me.

A good man who could crush my heart if I let him in.

Despite my claims that I work alone, Hatter and two nosey little pixies insist on sticking with me.

Only one thing is for sure, with them by my side assassinating the Red Queen will be unlike any other job I’ve ever tackled.

Alice the Dagger is a YA Fae epic fantasy. Readers of Tessonja Odette, Melanie Cellier, and Marissa Meyer who love adventure, slow-burn romances, whimsical worlds, spunky sidekicks, and lots of action will love Alice the Dagger.

A past erased from my memory . . .

A protector I never wanted . . .

An enemy (or two) determined to strike me down . . .

One day I’m raiding tombs and trying to buy my freedom from the man who has controlled me for years.

The next, I’m dropped into the underbelly of Yale and propositioned by a secret society of dark artifact hunters.

And apparently, I have magic.

But that’s not the craziest thing.

My last heist unleashed evil on the world, and I’m responsible. Thankfully, the secret society seems happy to help me right my wrongs and discover my power. Maybe even help me to remember my past too.

Well, most everyone, anyway. Tobias, a domineering, sexy vampire, is the notable exception. Too bad for him, he’s also assigned as my partner. My protector—a designation that he clearly despises.

But I’ve handled worse than Tobias and now that I have a place to start, no one will stop me from discovering my hidden past.

I wasn’t the kind of girl to believe in magic.

Not even with my odd skillset.

I stayed that way until magic walked right into my life in the form of a hot, brooding dragon prince.

The moment I met Prince Rone was . . . tense to say the least, but after a shocking street-side brawl we had a second chance to get to know one another.

And learn we both possessed what the other needs.

Now I’m on a wild hunt, trying to find a safe home for dragon eggs while being chased by murderous crazies who want all the dragons dead.

The weird thing is that despite the danger, for the first time in my life I finally feel like I might fit in someplace—and maybe with someone.

I just need to live long enough to find out if my intuition regarding Rone and this strange new world are right.

This collection contains three full-length novels:
Dragon Prince
Dragon Magic
Dragon Mates

There is one prophecy, born of blood, fire, and stardust.

And three sisters destined to fulfill it.

They call me the dagger.
