    All the Queen's Knaves Series

    About this series

    "There's no predator more dangerous than a frightened one."
     

    It's been more than a decade since a pack of criminals robbed Aster of her memories, killed her grandmother, and left her for dead. Now the little girl in the red hood is all grown up, and the wolves are paying with their lives.
     

    But as her quest nears its end, the enchantment that saved Aster all those years ago begins to crumble, threatening her life and her sanity. Nightmares warn of dangers she can't name, and Aster fears her fairy tale past isn't what she's always believed.
     

    Her lost childhood memories could be the key to her salvation, but the only person who can help might be a fascinating but untrustworthy young witch who talks to ghosts, sees too much, and asks questions Aster isn't sure she wants answered.
     

    In a city filled with dark magic and darker secrets, there's no one Aster can truly trust.
     

    Especially not herself.

    NOTE TO SENSITIVE READERS: Scars and Seams is a mature YA retelling of Bluebeard and Little Red Riding Hood which contains intense scenes of violence and gore as well as psychological manipulation by authority figures.

      "Are you a wolf, Jesamyn? Or are you a lamb I should have slaughtered the moment you drew your first breath?" Jes has spent nearly two decades with those words in her ear as her mother, Mav, taught her how to lie, steal, and con her way through life. She's ready to claim her independence, but Mav won't give up control of her greatest asset without a fight. When Mav demands the unthinkable, Jes is at a loss as to how to beat the queen of criminals at her own game—that is, until a magical beanstalk, a charming prince, and an impossible land lost in the clouds come together to offer Jes the opportunity she's been dreaming of. With her future, her heart, and her freedom on the line, Jes will need to do the impossible, risking her life to pull off a scam of gigantic proportions. The danger will be enormous, but so will the payoff... If she can make it back alive.

      "No witch shall live among those who hold to God's will. They shall be cast out, lest they bring corruption to all." Nightingale Goodweather has a secret. Ten years ago, Gale and her brother Hawk were abandoned in the woods as their village starved. They returned as heroes, children used by God to slay the witch who had cursed their land. But Gale has never felt like a hero, and since her return she's kept a dark secret: during her time with the witch she allowed magic to corrupt her soul. She's never wavered from her vow to turn her back on that tempting power. But when a new curse arises, spreading sickness and death, Gale realizes she'll need to stretch the limits of her faith and defy the laws of the land to fight magic with magic.   If she wants to save her people and become the hero she's always wished to be, she'll have to risk her soul and her life… and enlist the help of the last person in the world she ever wished to speak to again. --- CONTENT NOTE: please be advised that this story contains scenes involving deaths of characters of all ages, gore, and religious indoctrination
