Twenty-three year old SELINA is having a bad day. After a dreamy, scarred hunk seemingly falls from the sky (and onto her head!), he drags her into the legendary QUEEN MAEVE'S cairn. It turns out magic is real and so is the fiery queen's blood lust. She gives Selina an ultimatum: find her long lost daughter, FINDABAIR, or risk her own mother, musician Tanya's, death.
Selina, along with BARD, (her sexy, but stuck-in-the-past half-fey sidekick) must find six magical songs in a variety of international locations to unlock the key to tricksy Findabair's whereabouts...and if they don't do it within a few months, Bard's fiancé, ALANNAH, will die too.
With their loved ones on the chopping block, the two must work through their mutual dislike in order to escape the God-Queen's wrath.
Blending fantasy and rock'n'roll, this book will have romance lovers falling for this cheeky heroine as she and Bard fend off the monstrous sluagh on top of overcoming various magical obstacles to unlock the songs. Meanwhile, Selina and Bard fight a growing attraction for each other - because he is promised to someone else.
Add the mischievous, yet devilishly alluring FRANCO to the mix - the queen's henchman monitoring their progress - and Selina is caught between two very different, and deeply flawed, heart throbs.
Ultimately, Selina must face the implications of her fey heritage, her rocky relationship with her mother and her own self-doubt... if she is ever to save the people she loves.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
