About this series

The old gods used to walk among us. Some still bear their noble blood. Most will never know it. 

But an ancient enemy grows restless. Conflict is brewing in Otherworld. The Sidhe's unloved part-human children, abandoned to the mortal world, are suddenly their greatest source of hope.

***A series collection of the complete Of the Blood fantasy romance series. Otherworld romance with a dash of pixie dust. Five couples, one unforgettable adventure. ***

The series begins with Sworn by Blood

Hazel can't help what she is. Being the daughter of a love god isn't all fun and games. She wants no part of her father's world. Otherworld forests are full of huge, scary creatures and annoying pixie pests. And the people there are no better…they've never even given her a chance. 

She wants nothing to do with Sidhe men, either. Especially after that last time… 

But her effect on human men (and women, for that matter) makes a normal relationship impossible, not to mention introducing some seriously awkward situations. 

Ian has spent the last year on a fruitless mission to fulfill a family obligation set long, long before his time. All he's found is trouble. Now he needs the love god's help to see the end of this task and get back home. Until then, he's stuck beyond the veil in the human world, while plots against his future rule thicken back in Underworld.

What better way to bargain with a love god than through his daughter? 

But Hazel won't be a pawn in Sidhe games. And Ian must make peace with his family's legacy; he must do it soon. Somehow, they'll have to work together, before time runs out.

    Deep in the wildwood, an old power is stirring… Alise thought she was ready for anything, until Otherworld almost undid her.  Drake watched it happen, and now he can't seem to forget. He's as surprised as anyone when he can't get the raven-haired witch out of his mind. He's accustomed to being the irresistible one. Alise understands magic. She lives and breathes it. But she's never dealt with anything like the magic in Otherworld. Not until she rushed to her best friend's rescue and almost lost her wits to the Land of the Young. When she wakes up in Otherworld, a mysterious connection to the place haunts her. Her former life seems so far away…unreachable. And she has a more immediate concern. She would never have expected to find Drake, notorious agent of the Sidhe Authority, sitting vigil for her. While she's grateful, she's not at all interested in that look in his eyes. They've always clashed. The man doesn't have a loyal bone in his body. And Alise isn't the forgiving sort.  But things are different now. Peril hides in every Otherworld shadow, and a dangerous presence lurks in every strange dream…

    Half his heritage is a lie. She's harboring family secrets. Neither are what they seem.  After a hundred lost generations, conflict is brewing in Otherworld. The Sidhe's unloved part-human children, abandoned to the mortal world, are suddenly their greatest source of hope. Nathan has always felt more at home in the wilds than with other people. But he had no idea just how different he was.  When his long-absent father reveals he's not of this world, it's in tandem with even worse news. Nathan is on an Otherworld assassin's hit list, and the only person stepping forward to help him just may be playing for the other side in the Sidhe Blood Wars.  Tessa isn't sure where she stands. When a family secret is threatened, she's determined to protect her own. She's never approved of thinning Sidhe blood by mixing with humans. So what does she care if these half-humans are lost to an assassin?  But she has more in common with the young Lord of the Skies than she wants to admit. Maybe, together, they can keep the darkness pervading Otherworld at bay. Or maybe her attraction to this particular half-human will prove the undoing of all she knows.

    Darkness threatens. Otherworld needs a hero. Otherworld needs all descendants of the blood. When Rosa thinks of her ex, they aren't kind thoughts. Mikhail left her, pregnant and alone, four years ago. She's perfectly capable of taking care of herself; she's the Guardian of Dubhros and quite skilled at doing so. But Mikhail's sudden reappearance comes with ill tidings of an Otherworld war.  After all this time, can Rosa trust Mikhail with her precious daughter's safety…and her heart?  Mikhail has carried his regrets like another sort of armor, every single day since he left Rosa beyond the veil to raise their child alone. But since that day, everything has changed for his people. Now Mikhail must convince Rosa to bring their daughter to Otherworld. Only there, together, will they be able to keep her safe. In the midst of all that, can Rosa ignore how Mikhail still makes her feel? Can Mikhail convince her that she doesn't need to?

    Her power shields. His lies in shadows. It will take both to win this war. Descendants of the blood have gathered. Hell will be unleashed in the human world in just days, as the Sidhe battle their ancient enemy, the Fomorii.  But Eva has no way to know that when she's kidnapped by creatures her rational mind has trouble accepting. They steal her dinner and stow her in a dank cell for good measure.  In the Fomorii cells she meets Joel, a haunted man with a strange ability to rival her own.  Joel has already lost too much to this Otherworld struggle. He doesn't know what kind of life he has to go back to. None of that will matter if they waste away in these cells. Somehow he can't handle the idea of Eva going out that way. But their survival will depend on all of their skills, even the secret abilities they each inherited from Otherworld. And escape isn't their last challenge. They're so deep in an Otherworld war that there's no way out – until it's over. When it ends, what will that mean for the two of them?
