So excited to officially reveal this cover designed by Hannah Sternjakob. She did such an amazing job, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Some of you have asked about what is coming next now that the Dragon’s Breath Series is complete, and I’ve mentioned some details briefly in other posts. Those of you who have read Galadon will have an even better idea.

This is a new romantasy series set in a different world with a fresh set of characters, but there are still some dragons in it, as well as other interesting mythical creatures. At some point, there will be a crossover with the Dragon’s Breath world. That’s all I’ll say about that for now.

Below is the cover for Oaths & Vengeance, retailer links, and other details about the first book in The Realm of Zadrya series. It will release on August 22nd, 2025. I’m very excited about this novel and will share more in the coming months.

SUMMARY

Darrow is powerful, ruthless, and her sworn enemy. The wickedly good-looking elf is also cursed never to love.

Aella should stay far away from him, especially considering he could kill her from a distance with little effort. Except that someone close to her is dying, and he is the only person in the realm with the means to help. She has strong powers of her own to offer in exchange, but to her dismay, Darrow wants a secret marriage as part of the bargain.

Fae marriages are forever, so she’d always be his.

With other factors pushing her toward it, she agrees to a private wedding that the king himself officiates while hiding the ceremony from her disapproving family. Aella suspects there is far more to Darrow’s motives if Zadrya’s monarch is involved. It isn’t long before she discovers that dark forces are circling, and it’s her rare magic they want to use or eradicate by any means necessary. Her new husband has drawn her into a dangerous conflict started centuries ago that could either end in the salvation or destruction of their world. If she wants to survive, she’ll need to trust Darrow with her body, but never her heart.

Note- This novel contains sentient, carnivorous plants that may result in gardener nightmares.  It also contains spicy elements (no plants involved—at least not yet, hmm…).  Read at your own discretion.
