After I was falsely convicted of crime, I was exiled to a primitive planet which desperately needs women. I’d hoped for a fresh start by becoming an alien’s mail order bride, but it’s not working out. Nobody wanted a short curvy blonde, and I can tell that the tall muscular tribal chief who got stuck with me is disappointed. Well, fine. As soon as I can clear my name, I’m going back to Earth!

After a brutal encounter with a black-magic witch, rebellious monster hunter Ava Ashe finds herself ambushed by the merciless fae mafia. When the enigmatic Second-in-command of the Shadow Court suggests she’s just the anonymous assassin they’ve been searching for to take out the powerful Iron King, she’s pretty sure it’s because he doesn’t care if she lives through it.

Faced with a devil’s bargain, she accepts, but being thrust into a world of magic and forced to achieve the impossible without understanding the rules will take all her wit and instinct to survive.

A task that grows much harder when, amidst the chaos, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to a darkly brooding fae who suggests there might be more than one way to get close to a king.

And she realizes it’s not just her head at risk…

Decades before a deadly attack wipes out a neighborhood along Roy’s Slough, a circus ship crashes ashore at Devil’s Landing.

Among the wreck’s survivors: a young woman from the mountains of Mexico seeking to free her captured lover, a vile ringmaster, and creatures that howl in the night.

The lifeboats carry more than the circus troupe to the fog-shrouded harbor on the central coast of California: cages, secrets, and a lifetime of resentment.

Hoping to fund the rest of their journey, the circus performers put on a show in the isolated village, but when a new animal act debuts, things go horrifyingly wrong.

The events that follow reveal the depth of the ringmaster’s ambition, the true nature of the beasts, a test of Ana Maria’s love, and the real story behind the deadly Slough Devils of Devil’s Landing.
