THE FORGED EMPIREThe final installment of the kingdom within trilogyAs the specter of war looms, Meredith, Ethan, and Connor are thrust into a final, desperate struggle for freedom.

As betrayals mount and loyalties are tested, she finds herself caught between the prince she married and the soldier she never forgot. And beneath the weight of destiny, Meredith must decide who she truly is: a queen who must learn to believe in her own strength... or a pawn in a game she can no longer control. |

When Connor, an Alderian soldier sent by the prince to protect her, arrives at court, betrayal soon follows. Meredith and Connor are drawn together in ways that defy duty and threaten everything they’ve ever known. Torn between a future she didn’t choose and a love she never expected, Meredith must decide: Will she fight for her heart… or sacrifice it to save her kingdom? |

Of Beasts and Blood
She's the one thing he's never stopped loving—and the one thing he must destroy
Kaelen Stroud was trained to hunt monsters. As a veilwalker of the Order, his life belongs to the blade, and to the darkness he’s sworn to keep at bay. But when a ritualistic killing and a missing veilwalker draw him back to the village he once called home, Kaelen is forced to confront a past he thought he’d buried … and the girl he never stopped loving.
Maeve has spent years hiding her true nature and nursing her broken heart. The tinctures that suppress her deadly touch are growing weaker, and time is running out. When Kaelen returns, so do old feelings and dangerous truths, and Maeve must decide whether to trust him with the secret that could destroy them both.
As the bodies pile up and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, Kaelen and Maeve are drawn together by a shared history—and an ancient threat far darker than either of them imagined. But in a world where monsters wear familiar faces, love itself may be what destroys them.
