The Nightmare Court Series

For fans of The Wrath and the Dawn and From Blood and Ash Every year, a virgin weds a monster. By the next sunrise, he bleeds her dry. This year, the virgin bride is Nicce Ward, but she's no helpless victim. She has been prepared for this moment, consecrated to the sun, trained to fight with magic and with weapons. She must kill the monster, Sir Eithan Draig, and free the land of the scourge of his twisted desire. Eithan Draig knows the sacrifices are necessary. He knows that if the girls don't bleed, there will be carnage: throats ripped out and children slaughtered, and every single death will be on his conscience. So, every year, he does his duty. But this year… this girl… A hundred years, a hundred sacrifices, and not one has ever fought back. He's never wanted a girl like he wants this one. He's never wanted two things so fiercely at once. Both to let her go free. And to taste her blood. Read this complete enemies-to-lovers epic fantasy trilogy—a slow burn romance with eventual steam.

Nicce Ward is determined to kill the goddess of nightmares, Ciaska. It might seem impossible, but Nicce is up for the task, and she needs Sir Eithan Draig to get into the Nightmare Court. Eithan Draig isn't keen on the idea of putting Nicce in danger. He just wants her magic sunlight blood and then he'll be on his way and let her go on hers. Well, anyway, that's what he should want. What he actually wants is to seize any excuse to be near her, even if it means risking her life. So he brings Nicce to the Nightmare Court, where he must protect her from the whims of the capricious goddess of nightmares, who happens to be jealous of his obsession with Nicce. He can make it work. He's been playing Ciaska for over a hundred years. He's a master of subterfuge and manipulation, but his plan hinges on Nicce displaying nothing but disgust for Eithan. She is disgusted by him, isn't she? All he's ever done is hurt her. She couldn't possibly want him too. If Nicce did want him, he might lose control. And that could cost them everything.

The goddess of nightmares is dead, but Nicce and Eithan now face the threat of Sullo, the sun god and Nicce's father. Arrogant and vain, Sullo thinks of his children as possessions, extensions of himself. And no daughter of his should be dallying with an abomination like Eithan. Sullo wants Eithan dead and Nicce to do exactly as he says. Ciaska's body isn't even cold and they're already back exactly where they started. They are scraping and bowing and placating an insane, powerful, immortal being. Nicce isn't about to stand for that. They've killed one god, they can kill another. Sun and bones, why stop there? Why not kill all of the gods? Every. Single. One.
