Coming Soon: Cast in Stone
After her parents are murdered by a brutal warlord, Celia makes it her ultimate mission to bring him to justice, but she can’t do it alone.
Rupert is a criminal mage whose sentenced execution is commuted if he agrees to serve as Celia’s Guardian until her mission is complete.
But what looks like the perfect opportunity for them both quickly turns into the perfect catastrophe. In the fall out, she is betrayed by those she trusted most. Now on the run, Celia and Rupert find not only their lives in jeopardy, but also their hearts.
Torn between her old vow and a new love, Celia must choose justice…or vengeance.
Cast in Stone is the second book in The Conquest of Kelemir series, but it is not necessary to read Winter’s Fallen first. I wrote them so that either book could serve as��an entry point into the series.��(Some plot details from the first book will inevitably be “spoiled” if you do choose to read them out of order, but if I’ve done my job right, this��shouldn’t prove disastrous to your enjoyment of either book ;) )
If you did read Winter’s Fallen (minor spoiler below the cut):
Yes, it’s the same Rupert.��No worries if you thought he was kind of a jerk in Winter’s Fallen;��that situation really brought out the worst in him.

Have a Magical Valentine’s Day with Breath of Life!
I’m delighted to announce the release of my new fantasy romance novella, Breath of Life! It’s FREE for everyone��this weekend only (February 13th-15th), only on Amazon!
On the feast of the love goddess, Valentine is preparing to make a confession to her childhood sweetheart when an unexpected moment of passion derails her plan and lands her in the path of a dangerous mage. He practices a forbidden form of magic, and he wants Valentine to be his apprentice. Life and death hinge on her decision, but one thing is for certain: he’s not going to take “no” for an answer.
Have a very happy Valentine’s day!
