The Palace Healer
Lyra Fowler, a healer gifted with the ability to mend wounds and cure ailments through touch, has always lived on the outskirts of her village-both physically and socially. Branded as an outcast and accused of witchcraft, her life is marked by isolation and ridicule. But when the village Chief's daughter, Helena, succumbs to a mysterious illness no doctor can cure, Lyra becomes their last hope. Helena's condition, however, is beyond saving. Despite Lyra's desperate attempts, the young woman dies in her arms. Blamed for the failure and accused of fraud, Lyra is brutally beaten and left to die by the very people who sought her help. Yet, instead of death, Lyra wakes in a luxurious chamber under the watchful eyes of two strangers. One is otherworldly and enigmatic, the other is the King himself-Calean Ryne, Helena's grieving betrothed. Now, trapped between the fury of a mighty ruler and the enigma of her own survival, Alia must uncover the truth behind her gift, her destiny, and the immense forces at work-forces that surpass the trivial malice of her village.
How to Feed your Demon (without dying from blood loss) | bxb
I summoned him to keep me alive. Not to kiss me and make me feel things. Prince Leonard is a paranoid wreck-hated by his court, haunted by his past, and one imagined assassination attempt away from losing the only person still on his side. So when his own guards turn on him, Leo makes the one move no sane person would: he summons a demon. What he expects is a bloodthirsty monster. What he gets is Razvain Nyxbourne-dangerously attractive, infuriatingly flirty, and far more interested in kissing than drinking blood. Leo is unprepared for his sharp smiles or the avalanche of inconvenient emotional intimacy that comes with them. Bound by magic to keep Leo alive, Raz and his disarmingly cute shadows have their work cut out for them, because every member of the court seems to be after the newly crowned king's fragile life. If Leo wants to survive, he'll have to confront the demons of his past to keep the one at his side strong enough to protect him. Mature rated for explicit sexual content
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. β§ Copyright Β© Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
