    About this series

    Previously published as EIRWEN


    She has a heart of stone.

    A heart he is fated by the faeries to break.


    Eirwen Blackvein grew up in a mining camp at the edge of the map. A perfect place to hide an elven princess destined to destroy a queen and save a kingdom at war, as foretold in a seer’s magic mirror. Except, Eirwen doesn’t know she is the lost princess. Only that she was found as a newborn with her heart carved out. And why she now possesses a heart of stone in her chest.


    A heart made from the black stone she mines to power weapons for her realm’s king.


    The same enchanted stone coveted by a neighboring queen to destroy an entire kingdom.


    Eirwen’s only desire is to protect her workers. Even if it means kidnapping Lieutenant Prince Florian Halivaard, the youngest son of a warmongering king she discovers half-dead outside of the Dark Forest.


    With monarchs from different kingdoms willing to kill for her heart’s magic, Eirwen finds herself at the center of a losing battle. Her only chance to protect those she loves and defend her kingdom is to trust her enemy—a prince with haunting silver eyes fated by the faeries to one day meet a heart of stone.


    A heart he will break.



    OF HEART AND STONE is a young/new adult elven faerie tale fantasy spin on the romantic tale of Snow White, blending faerie magic and pagan ritual with a 1930s-1940s wartime inspired setting. Guaranteed to please readers who love angsty, enemies-to-lovers medium-burn fated romances, twisted fairy tales, and strong found family themes.

      Previously published as: ÆROREH She is forced to dream while awake. He must face his nightmare—her. Something is terribly wrong. What her eyes see conflicts with what she feels. But Princess Aroreh Rosen doesn't know she is under a glamour, one that forces her to see only illusions of beauty and contentment. Not how hunger and sickness plague her factory-choked land. Or how her mother's cruel, dark magic is amplified when Aroreh is awake and why she's enchanted to never sleep. And definitely not how the handsome young man her mother prepares to sacrifice is demonized by her realm. Not until a rebel sect of faeries, that is, releases her mind and unleashes her magic—the power to weave new realities while dreaming. Now on the run, Aroreh’s unspooling world collides with Félip Batten McKinley’s, the young man her mother had captured and the surviving heir to the throne of faerie. The very throne the queen maneuvered to annihilate through Aroreh's magic. And why the faeries hid Félip as a child in the factory slums. But an uprising pushes Félip from the shadows of his life and into the hauntingly beautiful light of Aroreh Rosen—a young woman who represents every nightmare he knows. Yet only she has the power to awaken a new dream and save their people. ✨ OF DREAMS AND SHADOWS ✨ is a young adult elven fantasy spin on the romantic tale of Sleeping Beauty, blending faerie magic and pagan ritual with an Industrial Revolution meets medieval faerie tale inspired setting. Guaranteed to please readers who love angsty, enemies-to-lovers medium-burn fated romances, twisted fairy tales, and strong found family themes. STANDALONE in a connected series / shared world
