Faelana is a faerie noblewoman with excellent cheekbones, a terrible fiancé and a wedding date looming like a guillotine.
Garwye is a human with two sick sisters, a talent for vanishing at the worst possible moments and absolutely no desire to get involved with faerie politics-until he has no choice.
When their problems collide, the solution is... each other. (Unfortunate, but true.)
To rescue Garwye's sisters and save Faelana from a loveless marriage to the smirking faerie prince who's already rewriting her future, they'll have to cross into a glittering, cut-throat world where bargains bite, etiquette kills and everyone's pretending they're not terrified. Add in a prophecy that's either ancient wisdom or complete nonsense, murderous vampires with a taste for chaos, and a growing attraction neither of them has time for, and you've got the sort of quest that ends in either triumph... or an extremely dramatic obituary.
Because in Virellen, love is leverage. Magic has a price. And happy endings don't come without a fight.
A Veil of Starlight and Shadows is a laugh-out-loud romantasy adventure packed with sharp banter, dangerous faerie intrigue, found-family chaos and just enough swoon to distract you right before everything goes wrong.

The Duke's Reincarnated Daughter
I died and woke up as Cryselle Argentum, a princess whose fate I already knew too well. This world was not unfamiliar to me. It was the setting of a novel I had once read, a tragic story where a neglected child grows into a misunderstood scholar and meets her end at the hands of her own father. Knowing that future, I resolved to survive by doing the opposite of what the story demanded. I would stay quiet, stay small, and stay out of sight. But the world did not allow me to remain unseen. I met Silas Argentum, my father, far earlier than I was ever meant to, and every interaction felt like walking on thin ice. Was he dangerous? Yes. Was he cruel? Perhaps. But he was also attentive in ways the novel never described. So tell me, if fate has already been written, what happens when the person meant to die decides to rewrite the story herself?Complete

Red Riding Hood (#wattys2016)
I shuddered. It had never been so dark, nor so quiet before. There was always the light of the moon to guide me. The sound of the wind against the trees. I shook the thought from my mind and continued further into the wood. Then I saw it. A white light spread across the ground in front of me. The clouds had parted from where they were, revealing the moon at its fullest. I stared in awe. It had never been so bright. The ambiance began to come back. The wind began to dance with the trees. I closed my eyes. The scent of oak filled my nose and exhaled through my mouth. The aroma filled me with exhilaration. It filled me with something I couldn't explain. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Although it was something I wasn't used to feeling, I craved it deeply. I felt happy. I felt as if nothing else mattered than this moment. I opened my eyes. Everything seemed clearer. I could see the particles of dust flying in the beam of light that shone around me. I wanted to stay here for longer. I wanted this moment to last forever. Until I saw the wolf. It was hidden among the fold of trees behind me. It stared at me in aggravation. It's brows furrowed in my direction. It's face, livid with anger, revealed a set of unpleasant and sharp teeth. It began to move slightly forward. The wolf bounded towards me. It happened so quickly I had no time to react. It's limbs outstretched. It's teeth bared. My body, paralyzed from fear, refused to move. My lip quivered, urged to call for help, but no help would come. I was too deep into the woods. No one would hear my screams. The thought was soon interrupted by the wolf's teeth digging into my side.Complete
