Mirk has lost everything: his noble family, his home, and nearly his life. All he has left is his grandfather’s staff and the K’maneda, the strange band of foreign mercenaries who saved him. He decides to build a new life among them in their wandering City of Glass, dedicating himself to healing the outcast and forgotten men who did everything to protect him. Providence makes no mistakes. And to live is to serve.... more>>

Genesis is an expert at three things: binding magic, assassination, and cleaning potions. Everything else is a mystery to him, especially people. Which is a crucial shortcoming, considering his ambition is to launch an insurrection against the corrupt mages who have warped the K’maneda into a machine designed to grind up the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. He will never be free; his nature is destruction. Since he can’t escape it, he will use it to liberate those who aren’t bound to obey.

They’re an unexpected team: the unrelenting and inhumanly powerful Destroyer and the kindly healer with the right lineage and a knack for putting the right people in the right places. But will it be enough to ensure the revolution prevails? And is there more to their relationship beyond a mutually beneficial alliance?

Featuring: Slowest of slow-burns, grumpy x sunshine, size difference to the max, perpetual hurt/comfort, and a whole lotta bed sharing. HEA guaranteed...eventually. <<less

"The Alpha king's death is just the beginning."... more>>

After decades of failed alliances and line-breeding, the once-powerful Ilialana clan is in the brink of collapse. Once a highly revered monarchy of Alphas, the royal bloodline is now plagued with mysterious deaths and illnesses, leaving the monarch with a dead king, an ailing crown prince, and a kingdom that will soon fall in the hands of the tyrant king, Athar Kriskhana.

But there could still be salvation.

Vamir vus-Ilialana, the only remaining highborn Omega and prince regent to the Ilialana throne, is to wed the beloved Summer King, Ettrian Cardan. With a covenant marriage sealed with one of the most powerful kingdoms in the Glass Empire, Prince Regent Vamir gains the honored title of Summer Consort and will once again bring honor to the Ilialana clan.

But on the night of the wedding, betrayal comes to play as the Summer King is slain on their marriage bed. All eyes turn to Vamir—the consort, the witness...and the assailant himself? After all, the Summer Consort has everything to gain from the covenant marriage: A powerful kingdom, money and influence, and the largest army in all of the Glass Empire. Thus, the tribunal of the century begins, ultimately deciding the fate of the last highborn Omega of Ilialana.

Prince Regent Elyon vus-Cardan is the mirror opposite of his elder brother, Ettrian. While the Summer King is calm, decisive, and congenial, Elyon is reclusive, quick to lose his temper, and notoriously impulsive. And with the untimely death of his brother, the role of the Summer King is abruptly shoved in his hands.

Having known Vamir his whole life, Elyon is certain the highborn Omega is innocent of the highest form of treachery, with the real traitor hiding in the midst of the imperial tumult. In a swift effort to protect Vamir, Elyon asks for the Omega's hand in marriage, sending shock waves throughout the nation and provoking a public outcry.

Elyon and Vamir have never been the best of comrades, with a sour history during their childhood. But with the sudden and unexpected turn of events, Alpha and Omega are forced to work together to solve the mystery of the Summer King's death and to save the Summer Consort from the gallows. Along the way, they uncover corruption, deception, and political scheming of an imperial scale, forge new friendships and gain formidable enemies, and finally put a face to the elusive assassin and greatest traitor to the Summer Court.

Will this bring the Alpha king and the Omega consort together, finally settling their differences once and for all, or will the circumstances and broiling unease in the kingdom pull them further apart? <<less
