In her escape from an arranged marriage, 20-year-old human princess Stella finds herself facing an entirely new set of challenges beyond the thorn wall separating her father's kingdom from the fae realm. A moment of terror and desperation drove Stella to make a deal with a witch in order to live beyond the wall, but it comes at the price of her soul in three months' time. Political maneuvers and shady dealings cannot be escaped, even in the kingdoms of the fae. Pestilent monsters, disappearances, and tensions plague her new home as she attempts to find a way to overcome her deadly contract.
A reimagined variation of The Little Mermaid.

Through the Veil (The Starweaver's Loom)
Annabel Stewart has always lived with shadows. Raised by her grandfather after the mysterious death of her parents, she has carried a loneliness she can't name and a hunger for connection that her art has never been able to fill. On the night of her long-awaited gallery debut, her world unravels. Her work is torn apart by critics, and the boyfriend she thought she could lean on betrays her in the cruelest way. Broken and adrift, Annabel retreats to Scotland, where she unexpectedly inherits her family's ancestral cottage. But the cottage is no ordinary home. Standing at the edge of the wildwood, it hums with forgotten magic and whispers of a legacy long buried. As Annabel digs through her mother's old journals, she discovers that her bloodline once stood at the heart of a fragile peace, three powerful witches who balanced the realm of mortals and fae. A balance shattered the night her family was murdered. Among the ruins of that lost world, Annabel encounters Nick, a gruff fae whose piercing blue eyes and guarded heart conceal secrets of his own. Drawn to him against her better judgment, she begins to sense that their fates are tangled far more deeply than she realizes. But in the shadows, an old enemy stirs. The Loom trembles, the Courts are restless, and the veil between realms grows thin. Annabel must choose: embrace the legacy that terrifies her or watch both worlds collapse into ruin.
