"The King is dead. Long live the King. And death to his enemies.
Bargained away to Dawn Court, Kat must play the part of a helpless human bewitched by the Day King. But beneath the veneer of submission, she's playing a far more dangerous game—spying for Dusk Court, and for the one person who holds her heart: Bastian.
Separated from the woman he loves, Bastian has no time to rage against fate—or his queen. With his city on the brink of collapse and war brewing, he must uncover the truth before a devastating betrayal shatters everything he's fought to protect.
As the enemy's hold on Kat tightens, secrets from the past threaten to unravel the courts' fragile alliance. Every step brings the couple closer to a deadly choice: risk everything for love—or lose it all to the lies that bind them.
With danger, desire, and dark secrets, A Promise of Lies is the epic conclusion to Shadows of the Tenebris Court, an addictive romantasy trilogy ideal for fans of morally grey shadow daddies and heroines who refuse to give up—even when death seems set to win.

"No home. No hope. No safe harbors. Just one final clue.
Castaway on a desert island, Vice has lost everything and everyone. If she's going to live—truly live—she must not only fight to survive but also battle her inner demons. Only then can she escape her island… and her past.
Without the woman he loves, Knigh is unraveling like a frayed rope. Around him, the refugee fleet that fled the battle of Nassau is low on food, water, and options. As the Royal Navy closes in, they must keep one step ahead or all they sacrificed will be for nothing.
Finding their way back to each other isn't the end of their problems. With thousands of lives at stake, they can't run forever. They need the impossible: a home that's safe from Mercia's vengeance.
Maybe, just maybe, the answers lie not in their future, but in the past and its long-lost treasure.
If you love Sarah J Maas's gut-wrenching romances and the adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, you'll love the breathtaking conclusion to this new adult fantasy series. Listen to Through Dark Storms and discover a centuries-old mystery, an epic happily ever after, and what else besides the Kraken lurks in the deep."
"Enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies. Now they're 'just friends.' Sure.
Reunited with her crew, Vice is on the hunt for Drake's treasure. But there's a good reason it hasn't been seen in two hundred years—it's hidden by fiendish clues and deadly traps. To keep her crew—her family—safe, she can't afford a single misstep. That's easier said than done with a distraction like Knigh Blackwood around.
Knigh might not sail for the Navy anymore, but he's found a new place in the world—home with Vice on the Venatrix. Even as he longs for more than 'just friends,' he battles with demons from his past and one from his present. To save his family, he needs money. Lots of it. A legendary treasure would be the perfect solution.
But traps and troublesome feelings aren't the only dangers they face. When treachery strikes at the heart of pirate-kind, no one is safe: not their home, not Knigh's family, not even the Pirate Queen herself.
If you love the banter of From Blood and Ash and the steamy romance of A Court of Silver Flames, you'll love this new adult fantasy series that fans are calling sexy and intense. Listen to Under Black Skies and set sail on an adventure where tentacles lurk in the deep, half a map leads the way, and even treasure isn't what it seems. As you might expect from pirates, these stories include moderate cussing and steamy scenes."
"Enemies. Lovers. Enemies once more. Now, they must work together to survive.
Notorious pirate Lady Vice has lost everything: ship, crew, and friends. Even her body has betrayed her, leaving her magic weak. To make matters worse, she's stuck at sea with the man who stabbed her in the back.
Knigh Blackwood is no longer a captain, no longer a pirate-hunter, no longer… anything. All he has left is the woman he betrayed, and she'd rather cut out his tongue with his own dagger than forgive him.
There's just one thing that might make up for what they've lost: Drake's treasure.
But they're not the only ones searching for clues and the elusive X that marks the spot. Between them and the treasure stand a scheming duke, a former lover, and a sea monster thought the stuff of legends—not to mention Vice and Knigh's complicated feelings for each other.
If you love the scheming of Black Sails, the high seas adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the romance of Holly Black, you won't want to miss this heart-pounding new series. Escape to a magical world where enemies become allies and even the closest lovers can become the worst foes. As you might expect from pirates, these stories include mild cussing and steamy scenes."
"A gilded cage is still a cage. Will love set her free or trap her forever?
Half-human, half-fae, and with rebellion in her blood, Lady Avice chafes against society's strict rules. Climbing trees, cursing, and running through the woods with young men are all strictly forbidden.
Eloping with a man she's fairly sure she loves must be the solution to all her problems. But her white knight quickly loses his luster when they're chased across the country by armed men and forced to flee in a pirate ship.
With the wind in her hair, sea spray on her face, and magic stirring in her veins, the pirate life might be exactly the freedom she'd been longing for. But what's freedom when her husband is still chained to tradition?
If you love adventures with magic, romance, and heroines who discover their power, you'll love this prequel to Beneath Black Sails, a pirate fantasy adventure series featuring a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance. While this prequel book does not feature a HEA, the series does. As you might expect from pirates, these stories include mild cussing and steamy encounters."
"She's a sea witch wanted for murder. He's a pirate hunter determined to capture her. But in a world of hidden treasures and deadly secrets, their attraction may be the most dangerous thing of all.
With weather magic on her side, Vice is the bane of the high seas, but she isn't the captain of her own ship. Yet. If she can prove herself and get a command, she'll be in charge of her own fate at last.
To pay off his family's debts, Knigh Blackwood hunts pirates for the Royal Navy. When the bounty on Lady Vice grows, he's determined to make her face justice, even if that means beating her at her own game.
Forced to work closely, neither can deny the tension that crackles every time they're together. As they face battles at sea and scheming crewmates, they find hints of a long-lost treasure that could be the answer to both their problems.
But treasure isn't the only thing buried. Secrets best-forgotten lie in wait that could blast them apart forever. And the closer Vice and Knigh grow, the greater the threat—to her life and to his family. Because for one to succeed, the other must fail.
If you love cunning heroes, feisty heroines, and steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, you'll love this new adult fantasy series that's perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Raven Kennedy."
"In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness.
Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan—she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life.
Thrust into the center of Dusk and Dawn Courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city, and spies whisper of an ancient artifact powerful enough to destroy an entire court.

"She was willing to sacrifice anything for revenge. But she thought she was only gambling with her life… not her heart.
Aerial performer Zita has dedicated ten years of her life to one thing and one thing alone: vengeance. Armed with an iron blade, she must take to the silks and give the performance of a lifetime to kill the notorious Prince of Monsters—the fae prince responsible for her sister's death.
But when Zita's plan fails, she finds herself imprisoned and sentenced to be the prince's 'pet' as punishment for her crime. With cruelty as sharp as his claws, Sepher is everything Zita expected from her enemy. Yet he's also patient and obsessive, particularly when it comes to his 'pet's' punishment.
