loan settlement

In a world plagued by darkness and deceit, half-fae Celeste Westergaard is torn between her duty as the Commander of the Royal Regiment and her station as the next in line for the throne. On the rise are attacks from supernatural creatures , the carnivorous beasts sent by the Shadow Tsar to claim the lives of third-born fae throughout the realm of Terre Ferique. But as Celeste's homeland of Delasurvia faces turmoil and unrest, she is thrust into an arranged marriage to the Prince of Hedera, the Land of Ivy.

While the destiny of her kingdom rests on Celeste's shoulders, she must also face the threat of madness, a fate which could befall her if her fae powers do not manifest. And to make things worse, the prince's brooding half-brother carries a hatred for her she can't understand.

As Celeste unravels the mysteries hidden within Hedera, she must navigate a treacherous path to protect her kingdom and uncover the truth hidden within her own bloodline.

A Dagger in the Ivy is a gripping tale of intrigue, danger, deception, and unexpected alliances.

She crossed an ocean for a cure—now, her heart is torn between love and duty.

Princess Caliana's people are dying, and the only cure lies in a distant, magical kingdom where deception is the only way to survive. Disguised as the kingdom's princess, Cali agrees to marry the infamous pirate prince, Bae—a man as dangerous as he is captivating—in the true princess's place.

The marriage is the only way she can secure access to the cure, but it also binds her to a life she never wanted.

Now, Cali must navigate the growing tension between duty and desire as her heart begins to betray her mission. Though she planned to escape after accessing the cure, sparks fly between her and the ruthless pirate, and she discovers there's more to Bae than she ever expected.

With time running out and the fate of her people hanging in the balance, Cali must choose between the love she never anticipated and the responsibility she cannot forsake. Can she outwit the forces that threaten both kingdoms or will she be forced to sacrifice everything for a man who was never supposed to be hers?

If you like the tension of Daughter of the Pirate King and the dark enchantment of Caraval, then you'll devour this heart-pounding, imaginative escape.
