Synopsis

One chilly April morning a stranger shows up at a commune in the Catskill Mountains, upstate New York. Conor is greeted by Liv, sixty-seven years old, mother, cancer survivor and founder of the once pilgrimage-worthy Birdeye Colony, now well past its heyday. Liv lets him stay, unaware that her two oldest friends are about to make a devastating announcement. Conor seems to offer a lifeline, but who is he really? As truths masked by free spirit push their way into the open, Liv must reassess what she asks of those she loves most.
Birdeye is a novel about tolerance, the choices we make in good faith, and, ultimately, what they cost.

    They call me…Hero…Mercenary…Dragon Slayer. 
    But that wasn’t always the case. 
    There was a time when I thought that dragons were beautiful... 
    During my childhood, I believed that I was friends with a dragon, except the dragon never knew of this friendship. 
    Days after my thirteenth birthday, my secret was no longer mine to keep. Soldiers arrived to slay the dragon so that a feudal lord could make his name amongst the Nine Kingdoms. It ended in abject failure. They were left to soak in a bloodbath of their own making. 
    In a rage, the dragon destroyed the place that I called home, and killed the people that I called family. She also dismantled a thing that I called love. 
    Reborn under a mound of ashen corpses, my empty shell vowed vengeance, forging a fiery path of retribution that could not be undone. 
    Not by my own design, I inadvertently became a slayer of dragons. Curiously, dragon slaying isn’t my next job... 
    A princess is being held for ransom at a goblin fort. Wearing the stolen armour of a goblin knight, I attempt to rescue her to claim my prize. 
    When I met her, she was Winter. Now, she is Spring. Maybe I can learn to love again… 
    An award-winning literary epic fantasy novel. Winner of the "Global (Asia)" and "Fantasy" categories in the Reader Views Literary Awards 2021-2022 and Winner of the Sword & Sorcery category in the Global Book Awards 2022.

    My new master is intense, intimidating, and wildly unpredictable. The only thing I can count on? That he makes me ache in ways I didn’t know were possible before he caught me in his web. 
    Sterling’s secrets are of the dark and dangerous variety - there’s no doubt in my mind about that now. But I still can’t figure out what he truly wants from me. He says he’ll take what I’ve promised when “the time is right”. In the meantime, he seems determined to treat me like a naughty submissive, a princess, or his lover. 
    But I can’t let myself be drawn in by his generous, wickedly sexy side. Serving Sterling is something I can survive.  
    Falling for Sterling would destroy me - body, heart, and soul. 
    Warning: Serving Sterling is the second installment in a three-book serial romance. It’s a dark, dirty, boundary-pushing romance that ends in a cliff-hanger.
