The Princess plays a fatal game, and the stakes are higher than she ever could have imagined.

Princess Asherah Delmar, the former heir to the throne of Atlantis, makes a heart-wrenching sacrifice as she embarks on a perilous journey into the enemy realm of Corenathia. Under the cunning guise of Prince Lux Nacan’s betrothed, she must retrieve the goddess’s artifact. One only she can find.

As Atlantis slides further into darkness, Asherah leaves behind her unbonded mate, Commander Draevyn Eliron, and risks the lives of the humans in Atlantis, a decision she does not take lightly.

When Asherah arrives in Corenathia, she discovers a treacherous world that will challenge her integrity and shake her will to stay silent. But with help from the most unlikely of allies, she’s determined to find the hidden artifact and escape Queen Sessi’s realm in time to save Atlantis and solidify the bond with Draevyn.

Though Asherah doesn’t realize she’s playing a deadly game with a wicked queen who holds all the cards.

Including hers.

Byrdfyre Covenant

Expected Release Date: July 17

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance (No Spice)

Byrdfyre Covenant is about desperation and loss, unbreakable bonds and old Gods, and a young woman locked into a deal with a dark stranger that stole her humanity and chained her to him for eternity.

And the young man who refused to do the same.

My mother died on the same day my father went mad. He tried to kill me.

With his bare hands, he gripped my throat, stole my breath, meant to tear me from the world.

I survived, but I changed.

That was the beginning of the plague that devoured us. I would be its ending.

I am Astrid, my mother’s first child, promised to an ancient, odious priest and surrounded by brothers who love me to varying degrees, but don’t respect me at all. Still, I love my family and my home, and I would do anything to save them, to save everything I can from the sickness that’s come to our shores, but no one will listen to me.

No one but him — the mysterious foreigner, Will Green.

Kind, intelligent, but strangely changeable, he stands by my side when others won’t, whispers ideas in my ear as we bury our dead. They are mounting up by the day, by the very minute. He tempts me with logic about what we owe one another.

If we are to survive this, my sincere belief is that our only chance is to run. Some of the women are on my side, but being women, at most, we must work in the shadows, constrained by husbands, children, and the church.

What if no one follows?

If they won’t, Will says, would it be so wrong to force their hand?

I trust him, because Will Green is good and I believe in good, and in sacrifice, even in myself. And we do need to act … but sometimes his eyes burn with a strange flame, and I’m not sure he isn’t more than he seems. I’m not sure of anything. Not what to do, not who to trust … Sometimes, I’m not sure if I’m even alive.

Fire destroys, but it also tempers. It makes things strong. And I’ve been through hell. If I can harness it, and if I am careful, it might be our salvation. Or…

In the late Middle Ages, the Black Plague devoured half the population of Europe, arriving in Norway via a “ghost ship” that was entirely unmanned. After the pestilence burned itself out, stories emerged about seemingly-otherworldly lone-survivors, including one made so feral by her long abandonment, she was called Rype, or “wild bird”. We remember the fleas and the rats, even her name, but we don’t remember everything. What if there were more to the stories of the past than we ever imagined? Byrdfyre Covenant is about the survivors the fates failed to claim.

Jayne Starwing is a new pen name for seasoned author Olivia M. Jacques (Women’s Fiction, The Madisons), who is also the co-author of The Lightbringers series (Fantasy Romance). Byrdfyre Covenant merges Dark Fantasy Romance and Speculative Historical Fiction and will appeal to fans of V.E. Schwab (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue), Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler’s Wife) and Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass). Expect heart-pounding action, swoony slow-burn romance, twists and turns you won’t expect, and a chilling and heart-rending cliffhanger ending … because there’s always more to the story.

A fallen king. A hunted queen. Bound by fate, divided by war.

As a relentless enemy sweeps through the mountains in search of a legendary
power, Elara rules a fractured realm. Her grip on power is fragile and her heart
is caught between duty — and the haunted king who once vowed to fight by
her side.

Once the king of Norrandale, Cai is now an exile. He has lost everything.
Everything . . . except her.

Their only hope of survival is a lost diary, said to have belonged to the first king of Everness. Its pages hold answers buried in ancient magic, cursed relics and a war that never truly ended. If they can find it, it could change everything.

As Elara and Cai’s enemies close in, the line between truth and legend begins to blur. Now, the fate of two kingdoms — and one forbidden love — hangs in the balance.

And the crown may demand the greatest sacrifice of all.
