Ireland is no promised land in 1846. It is wracked by a crippling potato blight, and people are dying. But Valentia McDowell doesn’t know that.

From her father’s prosperous farm in Ohio, young Valentia is haunted by tales of an abandoned family and a lost heirloom. She travels to her grandmother’s homeland with her brother, Conor, and two servants, to find both. Her delight in the exciting journey on one of the first steam ships to cross the Atlantic is shattered by a horrible tragedy.

What she encounters upon her arrival in Ireland is both more and less than she had hoped. Valentia finds both enemies and allies, amid horrors and delights, and a small bit of magic. She finds a richer heritage than she had ever imagined, but it comes with a price.

When she finally reaches her goal, a terrible price is demanded. She must pay or forfeit, and both decisions have strong consequences.

Jessa Lyle thinks the only good werewolves are dead ones. She should know. Her father has earned his fortune hunting some of the most brutal, rogue shifters around. But, when a sudden injury sidelines him in the middle of his biggest contract yet, Jessa decides to take his place to save the family business. Problem solved…until she meets her mark.

Sexy Alpha Derek Monroe’s not like any of the werewolves Jessa’s used to. Sure, he’s got that shifter swagger, that preternatural strength, and chiseled abs for days. But, when he turns those golden wolfish eyes on her, she feels a powerful attraction to him she never saw coming. There’s too much at stake to go soft now. Her father’s reputation, her family’s livelihood, and her very life depend on her carrying out this hit. Just when Jessa thinks she’s captured her wolf, Derek may just have captured Jessa’s heart.

Rustam Chalice, gigolo and spy, loves his life, so when the kingdom he serves is threatened from within, he leaps into action. Only trouble is, the spy master teams him up with an untouchable, beautiful aristocratic assassin who despises him. Plunged into a desperate journey across the mountains, the mismatched pair struggle to survive deadly wildlife, the machinations of a spiteful god – and each other.

They must also keep alive a sickly elf they need as a political pawn. But when the elf reveals that Rustam has magic of his own, he is forced to question his identity, his sanity and worst, his loyalty to his prince, for in Tyr-en, all magic users are put to death.
Think James Bond meets Lord of the Rings – a sweeping tale of spies and deadly politics, inter-species mistrust and magic phobia, with an underlying thread of romance.
