Banished from the fae realm, the last surviving sirens cling to life in the underwater city of Salus, where death lurks at every turn. Mariana, heir to the siren throne, has spent her life preparing to protect her people against the fae, but when her sister, Astra, vanishes on a perilous mission, she faces an impossible choice: defy her mother’s command and risk everything to bring Astra home, or remain trapped in the darkness as her world fades away.
To save Astra, and the future of all sirens, Mariana must recover an ancient amulet capable of restoring their lost homeland, Sirenia, before it falls into the hands of the ruthless fae king. But before she can act, she is captured by Dax, a brooding fae warrior with secrets of his own, who is determined to drag her to the heart of the fae realm. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Mariana and Dax are drawn deeper into a dangerous web of fae politics, long-buried truths, and heartbreaking betrayal.
Stripped of her siren powers and thrust into a world of deadly lies, Mariana uncovers dark forces threatening not only her people, but the entire realm. In a world where loyalty is fragile, love is dangerous, and betrayal runs deep, Mariana must stop the wicked forces rising in the shadows before they can sing their final, deadly song.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I’ve always had a life-long dream to become a published author. I grew up in Hawaii where storytelling has significant cultural importance and shaped my love for learning. Combine that with the fact that Halloween is my favorite magical holiday and you’ve got an aspiring author. However, as I got older, anxiety became my nemesis (let’s face it, being an adult is hard) and once again, I found an escape through crafting magical fantasy stories. Now living amongst the cornfields of Illinois with my husband, fluffy dog, and two mischievous cats, I find myself always on the lookout for the next adventure—whether it’s in the real world or tucked within the magical pages of a good book.

Synopsis
Aara
My world was ravaged when the king’s hunt obliterated my desert tribe, leaving me a captive in a city drenched in secrets.
Now, I’ve been thrust into a guild of six—an alliance of enslaved survivors, scheming rivals, and pampered heirs of power. To survive, I have to conquer the Vertex, a labyrinthine descent where each level tests me with increasingly dangerous challenges.
But surviving the Vertex isn’t my only battle. There’s a deadlier game unraveling in the shadows, and at its center stands the Blade Master—merciless, unreadable, and the man who slaughtered my people. His blade carved my past, and his secrets could destroy my future. He’s the enemy I swore to kill, yet the only one who can keep me alive. And now I’m trapped in his own lethal game.
Every glance he throws my way is a taunt. Every lesson is a battle of wills. I ache to drive a dagger into his heart—but what terrifies me even more is how he’s slowly slipping into mine.
Alysna
My marriage is a prison. The king, my husband, scorns me, and the court shuns me. But I’ve found solace in the worst place imaginable—my growing obsession with his captivating mistress, Novell.
Bold, unflinching, and dangerously beautiful, Novell ignites a passion that threatens to burn us both. In a court ruled by a jealous king, desiring his mistress is a death sentence. Every stolen glance is a risk, every touch a silent rebellion.
I know the stakes. I know how this ends. But I can’t stop.
Two women defy their fates. Two secrets sharp as steel. Two hearts must conquer.
Terina’s life has been a tapestry of thrilling adventures and diverse experiences. From riding camels through the Rajasthani desert and white-water rafting on the Zambezi to bungee jumping off the Victoria Falls bridge and hiking the peaks in Pakistan, her thirst for adventure knows no bounds. She has piloted a twin-prop plane into remote First Nation communities in northern Western Australia and spent countless hours peering into the mysteries of the microscopic world in a laboratory.
However, it was motherhood that brought a different kind of adventure into her life. Seeking an outlet for her creativity and restless spirit, Terina embarked on a master's degree in writing. This decision marked the beginning of her journey as an author.
Terina writes fantasy and paranormal romance. Her vivid imagination and diverse experiences breathe life into her stories, captivating readers with worlds of magic, mystery, and romance.

🏜️ Sprawling, desert world
In a glittering Sahara Desert palace, many have come to die…
I am Zair, reviled, half-blooded, and dangerous. Aziza magic coils in my veins like a curse, and for that, they fear me. But I will not stand by while traitors attack my academy and vanish with its students, especially as my sister is targeted.
They sent me to the palace as a student envoy to the king’s coronation, but I know the truth. I’m a weapon, a spy cloaked in silk and suspicion, sent to unmask those behind the disappearances. The air is thick with secrets, and the palace feels alive, pulsing with night magic and silent menace.
Then I meet him. Dathan. A rival spy from another academy—sharp-eyed, clever, cunning, and deadly. I don’t trust him, and I shouldn’t want him. But the pull between us is maddening, dangerous, a flame I cannot smother.
As more students vanish and shadows stir in every corridor, we have no choice but to join forces. Yet every moment spent together fractures my resolve.
In a palace where ambition poisons the air and betrayal hides behind every smile, I must unravel the truth before time runs out—while guarding my heart against the one man who could ruin more than the mission… he could destroy me.

As war breaks out, she and Falcon lick their wounds in the Underbelly, waiting for word on Hart and Rune. There, Ophelia plots to end the centuries-old battle for the throne by unearthing and destroying three elusive primordial relics—but she isn’t the only one who seeks them.

To save Magus from ruin, Ophelia finds herself making a bargain with a dangerous enemy—one that plunges her into a harrowing game of trust, politics, and dark secrets. To win, she’ll have to master her horrifying magic, mend her shattered soul, and decide how far she’ll go to shape her fate—or she and her kingdom will be destined for destruction.
