People said the plague could never touch an angel of Earstien—people were wrong. A great pestilence has swept over Myrcia, Loshadnarod, and their neighbors, entire towns wiped off the map by the sickness. But four sorcerers—Caedmon, Ellard, Pallavi, and Stasya (one of the few survivors of the plague)—are looking for a way to help save lives. Or, at least, that is what they all claim. From a plague hospital to rolling plains to the ancient capital of a once great kingdom to a final showdown in the faltering seat of government, A Fatal Humor is a standalone Myrcia Novel of magic, illness, and deceit.
Muriel Ostensen, handsome, clever, and a bitch, has no desire to get married. Broderick Gramiren, natural son of the king, has other ideas for her, and so does her family. In the wake of a shocking royal assassination, Broderick maneuvers secretly to become his father's official heir. But first, he just needs the right wife to help press his case. The Duke of Severn's daughter would be the perfect woman to help Broderick in his quest, especially with his father, the king, pressuring him to marry. Muriel, however, loves her independence, and she feels her family is selling her short by trying to marry her to a bastard, even if he is the king's bastard. If she has one scheme to avoid marrying Broderick, she has a dozen, but Broderick might just have a dozen and one. Book 2 in the political fantasy series Of Duty and Silver, For Her Own Good picks up where The Queen's Tower left off, but it can also be read as a standalone romance.
Home from the army and bored with war, Andras Byrne just wants to enjoy himself. But his mother, the most powerful duchess in Myrcia, has finally lost patience with Broderick Gramiren, the usurper. In a desperate move, the duchess sends Andras to arrange a marriage alliance with Princess Elwyn Sigor, who wants nothing to do with Andras or his family. Princess Donella, daughter of Broderick, isn't about to let Andras get away that easily. Torn between the courtly romances of her imagination and her duty to her friend, Donella will have to decide just how far she is willing to go to stop Andras from marrying the wrong person. And she will discover what happens when a princess stops being a lady.
People and countries all have their turning points...even when no one realizes that is what's happening. See how some of the most powerful men and women in Myrcia and beyond react when they either know, or ought to have known, that one of these moments is upon them. (Includes a preview of Unspeakably Wooed, Reign of the Eagle, Book 3! Coming Fall 2022!)
After two years in exile, Edwin and Elwyn Sigor are returning to Myrcia as part of an uneasy alliance with an old enemy. Edwin's mother, the captive Queen Rohesia, has been doing what she can to support her son's claim to the throne in his absence. As all three attempt to gather allies to overthrow the Gramiren usurper, none of them know just who they can trust. Will they be able to assemble a force to challenge the Gramiren armies, or will enemy agents stop their attempts before the fight can even begin? Is a queen still a queen without a court? Is a princess still a princess without her prince? Is a king still a king if no one knows who he is?
What's the worst thing that can happen to a neurotic academic whose classes have just been canceled? A surprise visit from his fiancee and mother-in-law-to-be. This is the fate of Soren, a seminary student and teacher who was betrothed years earlier to a cousin he barely knew. The cousin, Winnie, is an energetic girl, longing for adventure, not the staid life of academia. Soren's only hope is his best friend and classmate, Ollie, who might be more than he—or she—appears. But Ollie has problems of his—or her—own thanks to a busted telescope and her—or his—crush on the best lens maker in town. But what they all must decide is whether love is a matter of contract or something magical written in the stars.

Meanwhile, his great rival, the son of the usurper, finds himself at odds with his family as he fights to marry the woman he loves. And the usurper's wife, Queen Muriel, spins webs of deception and intrigue to preserve her power. Edwin could be on the verge of final victory, but it might cost him the most important person in his life.
