Synopsis

Lewis Haystoun is a man of intellect and privilege, yet he is haunted by a crippling hesitation that prevents him from seizing his true destiny. When a geopolitical crisis emerges on the Indian frontier, he is forced to confront his internal demons to save his country from a Russian invasion. The narrative masterfully weaves together high-society romance and grueling mountain warfare. Haystoun’s journey is a profound exploration of character, courage, and the heavy price of inaction.

    When she catches her fiancé Tristan cheating with her best friend Charlie—while three months pregnant—she doesn’t cry or scream. Instead, she walks away calmly, hiding a decades-long grudge that’s about to ignite. What seems like acceptance is actually the start of a twisted revenge plan targeting the “perfect” people who’ve haunted her life. 
    As she lures the charming James into her orbit and uncovers shocking family ties, every step pulls Tristan, Charlie, and even her own mother into a web of lies, betrayal, and irreversible consequences. This dark, suspenseful tale peels back the layers of envy, parental pressure, and the cost of letting resentment fester. 
    It’s a gripping reminder: when we let others define our worth, everyone loses. Dive into a story where revenge burns bright, but redemption is nowhere in sight.

    Paris, turn of the century.
    In a city ruined by a magical war, the magical factions known as Houses intrigue against each other to gain power.
    House Harrier is no one's friend, which leaves an ample trail of suspects when a mysterious magical explosion devastates the House and its surrrounding areas. Emmanuelle, partner of the head of House Silverspires, finds herself in the ruins of House Harrier with no memories of the explosion, struggling to navigate amnesia and survive in hostile territory. Thuan, co-head of House Hawthorn, navigates his prickly relationship to his husband while dealing with changed politics and dark magic. And Philippe, once an immortal, accompanies an envoy from his own country in the East, seeking a missing spirit with great power.
    But the flames are rising, and vengeance is coming for those who fought in the war, and their descendants. They will have to stand together, or burn alone...
    This edition includes an introduction by Kate Elliott, author of The Witch Roads, and the bonus short story "The Death of Aiguillon."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    In the immaculate streets of Barren Pines, where whispers cut deeper than knives, a young au pair stumbles upon a secret of corruption that could shatter the veneer of suburban perfection.
    
    But in a community where every move is watched and every failure fodder for gossip, her past missteps paint her as a woman scorned, hungry for revenge rather than justice. 
    
    As she quietly gathers proof, each step draws her closer to danger—and suspicion. Torn between her conscience and survival, she must navigate a deadly path where one wrong move could be her last.
