Magic is dangerous. Bound magic is deadly.

Left vulnerable to relentless witch hunters, Ameris will go any length to unbind her magic. Even bargain with Xander, the dangerously attractive fae heir. Caught in a whirlwind of ambition and lust, Ameris agrees to save him in exchange for learning fae magic.

Allies are scarce. Trust is a luxury.

With the witch hunters closing in, Ameris and Xander enact a blood bond, transporting them to the fae kingdom of Elysium. In a world torn by ancient vendettas and ruled by the shadow king, Oberon, Ameris discovers her unbound magic may be key to the throne.

Unbound & used for her power.

Xander will use any tool in his quest to rule – including the sexual tension between them, magnified by their blood bond. Oberon will do whatever it takes to keep the throne and make Ameris his. And he’s not afraid to play dirty to win.

The throne is the prize. Lust is the game.

Captured by Oberon, Ameris is seduced by the very darkness she’s warned about. Torn between the intoxicating allure of Oberon’s shadow magic and her intense bond with Xander, Ameris is left with no choice:

Make her claim.
Or be bound by blood & shadow.

Morpheus couldn’t be trusted. He was the son of Hypnos, the god responsible for aiding Demeter, killing witches, and stealing my little sister. Morpheus had the rest of them fooled with his smug grin, sharp cheekbones, and golden eyes glinting with sex and privilege, but I saw through his cocky smirk.

Hades thought Morpheus would keep me in line, prevent me from making thing worse for The Underworld in this war, but neither of them realized just how far I was wiling to go to save my sister.

The first hint of her fear scented the air. A piece of me crumpled at the knowledge that I was the cause of it. I wished to the depths of my soul that this could’ve been different. In another life, another rebirth, perhaps we might’ve stood a chance.

“Can a daughter born under the sun of day find her heart a home bathed in moonlight?”

Cyril Rhodea has always feared the Kingdom of Reykr.

Generations of dark fables shroud the isolated moon-fae realm, its reclusive people steeped in rumors of ritual sacrifice and sanguine arts—a stark contrast to the orderly, conservative sun-fae states of Southern Carinae.

Yet when a contract to investigate murders plaguing the notorious kingdom is awarded to her uncle’s esteemed guild of rogues, Cyril is forced to confront those long-standing fears.

Reykr’s prince commander is a man she should despise, and not just because he’s determined to get under her skin. Mikael exudes abrasive arrogance, just like the foolhardy recruits who never last long at the guild.

But when tragic flaws surface in Cyril’s once-infallible family of rogues and she faces the reality of a life once loved being laid to waste, Mikael is the one standing by her side in the wreckage.

Torn between the conflicting pulls of duty and desire in a world determined to break her, Cyril knows only one thing for certain: No one will leave Reykr unscathed.

The Mercy of Dawn is book one in the Fires of Carinae duet. Dark fantasy and steamy romance intertwine in a gritty coming of age story laced with murder mystery, court intrigue and heart wrenching tragedy.

🔮 Mating Bond Revelations

A chambermaid bound to her family’s prestigious palace legacy. A King harboring a secret bound to shatter his world.

Leader Reneah Diaz, the unparalleled head of the palace chambermaids and valets, was a figure of admiration and respect. Her family’s legacy amongst the staff was not just coveted, but revered. But when the grieving Fae King returns to Atlantis with the Heir in tow, the human chambermaid breaks all the rules and forms an unexpected and unique friendship with father and daughter. This friendship, unlike any other, born in the most unlikely of circumstances, opens up a world of secrets and revelations about his mating bond with the deceased Queen Neleah, secrets that not a soul alive knows of.

A hidden shame plagues the Fae King, a secret so rare that it could shatter the perceptions Neleah and Cathan carefully built. But when undeniable chemistry flourishes with his human chambermaid, he feels something he never dared to dream of—something worth risking his reputation and his daughter’s.

In a world where palace politics expressly forbids relations between the royal family and the palace staff, and where relations between humans and Fae are incredibly taboo, Cathan’s unusual request for Reneah to take residence in the royal wing does not go unnoticed by her superior or her subordinates. And when their affections become something more, Reneah and Cathan must face a heart-wrenching decision: distance themselves or risk destroying her family’s legacy and his reputation forever.

The Forbidden King is an Heir of Atlantis Novella (Book 1.5). It should be read after reading The Veiled Heir (Book 1). This is a spicy romantasy, a blend of romance and fantasy with mature themes, intended for readers aged 18+. Trigger and content warnings can be found at the beginning of the book and on STFernandez.com. Please read with care.

I want to live.

The promises of prophecy press in on Veyka Pendragon from every direction. An ancient darkness. A lost queen. A heartbreaking sacrifice. To save her kingdom, she will fulfill them all. She will not falter.

But there are secrets still to be unraveled. Where is the Ethereal Queen? How will they join their power to finally banish the succubus? Those questions are easier than the ones Veyka must answer on her own. For saving her kingdom means leaving behind her mate.

Arran Earthborn has dedicated his life to protecting Annwyn. But the Brutal Prince who arrived in Baylaur is not the one now standing at the head of a vast fae army. When an enemy offers a final chance, three weapons forged in the depths of Avalon itself, Arran does not hesitate.

He will rule with Veyka at his side, or he will destroy this realm… and every other.

Every story must end.

But I will not go down without a fight.
