A grave threat looms over the mortal world. The veil that separates the realms has weakened over time, and monsters—Undesirables—claw their way out of the Netherworld to torment the living. What once dwelled in whispered stories now stalks the shadows. The only guard against chaos is balance. Reapers are duty bound to uphold that balance, tasked with guiding mortal souls to the afterlife. Lark secretly dreams of shedding her immortal chains and forging her own path. She’s captivated by the humans and envies their freedom, their passion, their anguish. Her master, Thanar, god of death, forbids this fascination and demands her utmost loyalty. When Lark encounters a mortal whose fire and suffering awakens something in her, she denies fate and saves him, refusing to guide him to his death. To escape Thanar’s wrath, Lark makes a deal with the witch-queen of the Netherworld and is remade as human—trading her power for mortality. She flees through the veil and enters the land of the living, unaware she isn’t the only one freed from the clutches of the Netherworld. Songs of the Wicked is a dark reimagining of the Little Mermaid.

As she works tirelessly to forget the painful memories of the Forbidden Shrine, she recruits an old contact to aid in Lark's quest to stop the witch queen and gather allies. But old feelings rekindle, threatening to burn them both. Can she ever truly outrun the past? Nothing itched like an unanswered question. Langford is forced to travel with Alistair, the man he is determined not to love. He focuses instead on his research, on finding a way to kill Nereida.

In a world of impossible truths, Langford is determined to find the answer to save the mortal world... Before it's too late. Lament of the Wolf is a dark reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood. “More than a simple retelling of a children's classic, this original fantasy is psychologically riveting and endlessly original.” —Indies Today on Songs of the Wicked

There is no place for elves in this world, but Sylvaine knows she's destined for greatness—a world-famous bard entertaining the finest nobility as far as Lindale. Unfortunately, performing in her local tavern off the beaten path lends scant opportunity to distinguish herself. Until a group of adventurers arrive, promising fame, wealth, and glory when they slay the last dragon of their age and find the lost hoard. Syl convinces them they’ll need a bard to spread word of their heroics, and if she can claim some honor for herself along the way, well no one could fault her for recognizing a mutually beneficial arrangement. Even if it means ignoring the glaring disapproval of the hulking warrior assigned to protect her. Jaromir is rude and ill-tempered. He makes no effort to hide his distaste when she joins their group. But as they grow closer, and are unable to deny the heat of their attraction, she discovers there's more to him than his poor manners. He brings her passion, peace, and safety in a world in which she’s never felt welcome. When the group suffers a great loss, they must use the power of a convincing story to keep their quest alive. A future that once seemed impossible, is suddenly within reach with Jaromir by her side. But even the ballads of love are rife with sorrow. Syl must slay her own dragons before she has a chance at surviving this journey and writing the ending she yearns for. Every bard knows the victorious ending comes at a price. Syl will see this tale through, no matter what it costs her…
