An arranged marriage, a bargain gone wrong, and Appalachian mountain magic combine to answer one question: Is it so terrible to want to be loved?

In 1929 Boone, North Carolina, marriage feels like Alice's only true ticket to a better life, and she is determined to make it happen for herself. When Xavier, a deer shifter and the King of the Shadow Fae, appears with a marriage contract arranged at birth and an apparent ardent infatuation with Alice, she believes her dreams have finally come true. 

However, the longer she stays in the Shadow Court, the more things seem out of place. No one can remember exactly how or when Xavier became the king, and Alice is the only person who seems to remember the existence of Xavier's mysterious twin brother, Florian. As she searches for answers to the mystery of Florian's disappearance and Xavier's rise to power, Alice must decide for herself what it means to love and be loved, and what it means to love someone enough to fight for them.

Follow Alice, Xavier, and Florian in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry.

BLOOD MARRIAGE is Book #2 in the Appalachian Magic companion book series. Each story can be read as a standalone, but some characters and locations recur.
