The Forgotten Kingdom Series

The first book in a new series of epic romantic fantasy novellas.   With her dying breath, Morgan's mother cast a desperate spell to save her son from Duke Arnost, successfully wiping Morgan's and his kingdom's existence from the world's collective memory. Morgan has been paying the price ever since, as he struggles to free his people from an obscurity he has begun to despair of ever escaping.   Princess Caya has spent the past ten years living in isolation. Cut off from her father and her throne, she has watched her realm fall deeply under Arnost's sway. When her father dies, she faces the impossible task of returning to a court in which she has no allies and somehow finding a way to prove Arnost is a danger to the kingdom.   Before she can return, Morgan abducts her and takes her to his forgotten lands in the hopes of persuading her to help him bring Arnost to justice. Yet how can he hope to convince someone who has no memory of him, nor of the friendship they once shared?   But Caya does remember him—though that doesn't mean she trusts him. An alliance may be just what she needs to expose Arnost and save both their kingdoms, but how can she trust that Morgan doesn't intend to use her for his own ends?

Book 2 in the epic romantic fantasy novella series, The Forgotten Kingdom.   Caya and Morgan are running out of time to save their kingdoms from Arnost. Lacking the numbers necessary to face him head-on, they launch a two-pronged assault: a sabotage mission to disrupt his supply lines, and a whisper campaign designed to provoke unrest.   As determined as Caya is to stop him, when faced with the reality of having to fight against her own people, she finds her resolve wavering. But witnessing the devastation her army has wrought proves her people aren't blameless, and grappling with how to punish those guilty of atrocities while also protecting the innocent is almost more than she can bear.   Morgan wonders if bringing her on the mission was a mistake. Uncertain of whether he can trust her to do what must be done, he is forced to reckon with the fact that however much he has come to identify with her, he cannot let her stand in the way of his efforts to protect his own people.

Book 3 in the epic romantic fantasy novella series, The Forgotten Kingdom.   After the success of their initial missions, Caya and Morgan return to his kingdom to consider their next steps. Still wary of their supposed ally, Karima, they're unsettled by the fact that their hopes of defeating Arnost appear to hinge on her. Their alliance provides her with an undeniable advantage, and neither Caya nor Morgan trust that she has Caya's best interests at heart.   Caya's misgivings about Karima aren't the only thing troubling her. A dawning awareness of how little she knows about her own father and his past plagues her. And while she's determined to see her kingdom grapple with and atone for the wrongs it has committed, the thought of becoming the face of the rebellion leaves her conflicted. Will her people see her as their liberator or as a traitor?   Meanwhile, Morgan is struggling with his envy and resentment. Having sacrificed so much, the necessity of fading into the background stings. Worse yet, his darkest, most secret fears have begun to take hold. What if defeating Arnost doesn't break the spell entrapping his kingdom? What if everything he's done has been in vain?   As word of Karima's and Caya's alliance spreads, a new group of Rostands makes overtures toward the resistance, claiming they disapprove of the official Rostand policy of appeasement, and intimating that they too want to free Rostand from Arnost's grip. Karima makes no secret of her desire to use the group to drive a wedge between Rostand's queen and her regents, but can Morgan and Caya trust that if they do defeat Arnost, Karima won't turn on them next?

Contains adult content.   At last, the identities of the mysterious Rostand nobles backing Karima are about to be revealed, but Morgan doesn't trust their intentions. Is their objective to use an alliance with Caya to restore Rostand to what it once was, or do they see this as their chance to wrest control from the child queen's regents?   Plagued by the fear that no matter what she does innocents will suffer, Caya has a string of difficult choices to make. Arnost must be defeated, there is no question of that, but how can she live with the decision of which people to sacrifice in order to save others? And in their determination to stop him before he can march to the Rostand capital, will she, Morgan, and their allies unwittingly unleash Arnost's wrath on the very people they're so desperate to protect?

Caya is vehemently against his taking the risk, but he can't dismiss the possibility of sacrificing for the greater good.   With the futures of both their kingdoms hanging in the balance, Caya and Morgan must decide just how far they're willing to go to stop Arnost.
