Tranquility Series

What if you didn't care what others thought of you? That you knew you could, and would, do the dirty work for the greater good?  Lady Bethany clawed her way to the ranks of the Elven Service's top military elite. They only knew her as their foul-mouthed, hard-nosed champion against magic, and not the daughter of a goddess. Her life protecting those under her care is disrupted when her twin sister returns from exile, addicted to magic and human sacrifice. Her purpose? To overthrow their own mother. Innocents will die unless Bethany can take the life of her own sister. For the greater good.

Thousands are dead. Lady Champion Bethany thought she'd given everything in the fight against Magic. She was wrong. When the deaths of those closest to her shake her already crumbled world, she doesn't wilt and die. She still has one thing left to gain even now: Revenge. Prophecy or no, half-goddess or not, Bethany vows to bring order back to the world by the edge of her blade. No matter who she must defy. No matter what stands in her way. No matter who must die. For what they've done to her, all will pay.                Grief is the second book in the Tranquility series.

INTERLUDE is a collection of short stories from the TRANQUILITY series. These stories are intended for those who have read the previous books and contains huge spoilers for both Blaze and Grief. Love Notes is about Bethany and Arrago's first month working together. Knight's Day Off is about poor Bethany taking a day off work. Things don't go according to plan. At all. First Day on the Job is set after the events of GRIEF and is set about a week before the events of FURY. Myra, a Knight apprentice, is assigned a simple task: get Arrago, Edmund, Bethany, and the rest of the senior staff to attend a party hosted by Queen Celeste. However, it's soon obvious that there's more than just a party in the works and none of the main players are following the rules.  INTERLUDE is 20,000 words (about 75 pages).

As Lady Champion, Bethany has always made the big sacrifices, the ones that plague her with nightmares so that others can sleep. Trapped behind enemy lines and powerless to take down the barrier surrounding the Magi army, Bethany struggles to keep herself and her small team of soldiers alive – no matter the cost.  However, when Apexia's daughters discover the true source of Magic, Bethany is forced to make the biggest sacrifice imaginable in the name of peace: the death of the Gentle Goddess herself.

A band of mercenaries. A missing knight. A midnight prison break. It's just another day for the Queen of Taftlin. 

Bethany returns to Taftlin to uncover a plot to assassinate King Arrago and Prince Henry. She enlists some interesting allies along the way, including an elderly duchess with a sharp tongue and an eager apprentice knight, and together they race against the clock.  Schemes is Book 4 of the Tranquility series. This final book in the series is a novella (short novel) and is about 50,000 words or 180 pages. 

Bethany would love nothing more than to put her feet up on a desk and have a well-earned rest, but Lord Jud is preparing to bring the entire might of the Silver Knights against her. Since misery loves company, the northern lords are conspiring to murder her in her bed. There are spies and traitors everywhere, and some too close for comfort. So Bethany is going to do what she does best: war. May the Goddess have mercy upon their souls because she never will.   And now, for the conclusion of the Tranquility series…prepare for Bethany's last stand.

This box set includes the first three TRANQUILITY novels, plus the BONUS short stories from Interlude! BLAZE A half-breed and a female, Lady Bethany clawed her way to the ranks of the Elven Service's top military elite. They only knew her as their champion against Magic, and not the daughter of a Goddess. She'd expected a long, rewarding life protecting those under her care. But that was before her twin sister returned from exile, addicted to brutal Magic and human sacrifice, twisted inside, and abusing ancient prophecies to overthrow their mother and destroy everything Bethany holds sacred. The world will burn in flames and innocents will die, unless Bethany can stop it. Unless she can take the life of her own sister. GRIEF Thousands are dead.
