Being King isn't all it's Cracked up to Be.
Gaidon Silverwood is given the charge by the Fae Elders to keep their Realm in order. It's a responsibility he never desired and it's tiring being King. But getting away from it requires careful planning to escape those determined to keep you safe. And others are waiting to pounce...
This is a prelude to Behind the Mask by Shawnna Lea available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited!
**Author Note**
I was asked how Gaidon ended up in our Realm and since this chapter (and a couple others) were cut out of the book I thought Hey why not make it into a little freebie? Happy Trails!

Crown of Moonlight and Silver
Artemis carries a secret powerful enough to reshape the fate of the realms. Hunted by a relentless elven tracker and a charming rogue, she must navigate the treacherous Veilwood-an ancient forest where the boundaries of reality twist like threads in a loom. But Artemis is no ordinary fugitive. The fragment she guards hums with forgotten magic, calling her toward a destiny she never asked for. As the three uneasy allies journey deeper into the unknown, they are stalked not only by those who would claim the fragment but by creatures born of nightmares-beasts drawn to the power Artemis barely understands. With danger closing in and the weight of the past pressing heavier with each step, trust becomes as fragile as the secrets they keep. But the Veilwood does not shelter the weak. And as the echoes of a shattered crown stir once more, Artemis will have to decide: run from the truth, or embrace the power that could unravel them all.
Whispers of Nowhere
**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...Complete
Little Light
In the fae realms, power is everything. It determines who you are, how high you rise, and how far you fall.

For decades, her council has kept her from asking questions, masking their control as protection while stifling her every attempt to lead. Her crown may gleam, but it's nothing more than a cage. When a shadow creeps across the border of her realm, threatening her people with war, Ciara knows she must act.
