Tales of loathsome kings and prophesied saviors aren't so appealing when you are a royal bastard of prophecy... Evonalé Yunan is supposed to somehow free her grandmother's enslaved people, but she's merely a child, and her father is the powerful fire mage who subjugates the realm. She has therefore fled home, her half-siblings, and the father who really should've been her uncle. Unfortunately, it's the middle of winter. Fortunately, following her mother's directions has put her in another king's hunting grounds. To Evonalé's bewilderment, that king picks her up and gives her a place in his castle. The prince seeks her out to tease and befriend. Then one of Cook's daughters starts teaching her magic, and a scullery maid proves herself immune to poison. Evonalé isn't the only one with secrets. ----------- Followed by "A Fistful of Earth"

Murderous pirates, battleships galore, and too much treasure for one man to hold. What else could anyone ask for? Captain Nathaniel Thatcher sails alongside his scurvy crew raiding merchant ships, hunting booty, and most importantly scouring ports for rum. With his right-hand, Matthias Clarke, keeping his recklessness at a minimum, the Captain became the envy of the five seas. Whether it was his power, money, liquor, or constant 'companionship' that drew people towards him, they all had one thing in common. They wanted him. Dead-or-Alive. Sybil Collier was no exception. On the eve of her father's disappearance, she knew something was awry. Her mother had pushed her to set her worries aside, because there had not been an accident in the mines for over a decade, but when rumors of pirates raiding a mine on the coast for treasure flooded the village, Sybil's heart sunk. Her father had vanished without a trace, while the other miners remained behind and not a single lick of treasure went missing. Now on the prowl for any clues, Sybil knows her only chance of finding her father is with Captain Thatcher's help. Not that he is at all willing or interested in helping a miner's daughter.

Melaina is a slave in the Greek city-state of Corinth, 800 BC. But she is no ordinary slave. She is a musical prodigy of her time, blessed with an incredible aptitude for musical instruments and a voice that haunts all who hear it. But her talent doesn't change her status. In Ancient Greece, slaves are not human beings. They are property, seen as little more than the common mule. Melaina is accustomed to being treated like an animal, and she has resigned to her mundane existence. Until she meets a cryptic prince that awakens all the human desires she has tried so long to suppress. She suspects of sinister forces lurking in his past, but she can't bring herself to leave him. He is the first person, aside from her mother, to make her feel human. As their mutual desire brings them closer, the pressures of their rigid society and his troubled past push back with equal force, keeping them apart. Will they find a way to overcome them? You'll have to read to find out! *Disregard all your pre-conceived notions of slavery. Slavery in Ancient Greece was NOT based on race. Melaina is black simply bc I like having POC as my main characters :-)*
