This is a short and simple post. For those waiting for Wrath & Desire to be on Kindle Unlimited, you can now borrow it through KU on Amazon. Hope you enjoy!
Also, Ingram approved the Wrath & Desire files I uploaded (that took a few business days). I have ordered the proof copy so I can verify it looks good. That should arrive by early next week. Once I have it, and I’m sure it doesn’t need any changes, I’ll approve it for sale across the retailers. I will post here and on social media to let you all know.
That’s it for today. Hope everyone’s week is going well!
A sentient murder garden, gods meddling in unexpected ways, weird creatures running wild. Oh, and the two main characters trying to navigate their new marriage while a war rages and a blight kills the land. Wrath & Desire is here and ready to keep you on the edge of your seat in more ways than one. You don’t want to miss out on this installment.
For those who haven’t read the first book, Oaths & Vengeance, you can find it on Amazon (including Kindle Unlimited). If you have read it, but it’s been a while and you need a refresher, I recorded a YouTube video that covers the key points to keep in mind as you head into the second installment. It will refresh your memory of many of the characters, plot points, plants, animals, and the sequence of events that led to the conclusion of the first novel.
Now, for the full details on the book below, including links to where you can grab it. For anyone who doesn’t use Amazon, please get it quickly because I’ll be pulling it tomorrow night to put into Kindle Unlimited. I’m also working to get the hardcover available in the next week or so, and the paperback sometime in March.
BOOK SUMMARY
Darrow is raw power exemplified. He is full of secrets and pain. The dark elf isn’t satisfied with only marrying me. Oh, no. He wants it all—my body, heart, and soul. I must resist despite being his fated mate. Because if I don’t, he could break me, and I’m already at my limit.
Aella is everything I’m not. She is full of compassion and resilience. The half-druid’s grace and odd fondness for plants bring me to my knees. Though I cannot love her, I need to own her in every way. She can resist all she wants, but I’ll do whatever it takes. No price is too high, even if it breaks me.
But now, war and death plague us. My mother’s people have invaded our realm with ruthless precision. Our monarchy is at stake. And a blight is rapidly spreading to kill the land. Powerful forces are at work to divide our people. I may wish I could focus entirely on my new wife. But we must find a way to save our world. Even if it means traveling to a distant one with its own dangers. That is…if we can find a way there before the enemy stops us. Somehow, they’re ahead of us at every turn.
Note– This novel contains adult content, including graphic violence, foul language, rough spicy scenes, torture, and divine astral projection/consensual body sharing between multiple characters (of a sexual nature).
Other content warnings– weird homicidal chickens, terrifying hordes of venomous frogs, sentient plants with murderous attitudes…actually, many flora and fauna are not what they seem in this world, so assume nothing and mentally prepare yourself for anything. It’s fantasy. Immerse yourself in the madness or go find another genre.
Note- The ebook will only be available widely until the evening of February 24th, 2026, when I pull it to enroll into Kindle Unlimited. I’m working to get the hardcover available before the end of the month and the paperback in March. Stay tuned on my website or social media for more on that.
BOOK SERIES RESOURCES
While there are two professional maps inside the eBook and hardcovers, you can use the ones HERE on the website for reference if you want to avoid flipping back and forth while reading. These are hand-drawn images with some digital details added later that are relevant to key lands and cities that the two in the book don’t show as deeply due to size limitations. You can locate them in the Realm of Zadrya book tab.
Special thanks to my amazing street team for working tirelessly these last days to promote Wrath & Desire. They’ve designed banners and other promo materials, shouted about it on social media, acted as a sounding board, and been a huge source of motivation in many ways. I appreciate them so much! Also, I want to give a special thanks to Hawthorne & Aster for managing my book release blast for this week.
If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers romantasy and want to meet a female character who cultivates a wickedly dangerous garden, then this book is for you. Aella isn’t a young, inexperienced girl just discovering her powers. She’s in her thirties with life experience, has a strong handle on her magic, and strains against a system that keeps fae women under men’s control.
Her careful obedience is about to be shattered when she has to ally with a rival lord’s powerful son in secret. If her guardian uncle finds out, he’ll execute her for treason. She’s going to be walking a careful line to survive what lies ahead, but she’s out of options. As for Darrow, he may hate Aella at first, but he’ll soon discover she isn’t at all what he expected. She’ll challenge and taunt him at every turn. Too bad he’s cursed not to love because he may have met his match.
Oaths & Vengeance is available in ebook, hardcover (availability varies by retailer), and paperback (Amazon only). For the ebook, it will only be on the other retailers until August 25th, when I’ll pull it from them to put it into Kindle Unlimited. Be sure to grab your copy before then if you shop elsewhere. The rest of the details are below.
SUMMARY
Darrow has so many secrets that even those closest to him don’t know them all, but she’s about to become his favorite. He 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 is an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romantasy. It contains adult content, including violence, foul language, rough spicy scenes, torture, and a sentient murder garden that you’ll either adore or have nightmares about for years to come. Read Oaths & Vengeance at your own discretion.

If you’d like to read the first two chapters of the novel, click HERE! Otherwise, I hope you give this new series a chance. It may include many familiar tropes to romantasy, but the world-building is unique and vibrant, so you’ll feel like you’ve truly stepped into a new place you’ve never been before.
This is a busy release week for me, and I’m switching gears today to the Dragon’s Breath Series with the audio finally available. As some of you know, this is the single spin-off featuring Galadon and Rayna as the main characters. It’s their turn to get a happy ending. While it will give closure to the series, I did write it with enough recapping of the pertinent details from previous books that readers could jump straight into this one if they wished. It is the only novel in the Dragon’s Breath world with a lot of spice. There are also easter eggs in here for the Realm of Zadrya series, with the main characters from that one making a brief appearance.
The rest of the details are below!
SUMMARY
The attraction between them is undeniable. They are also born enemies.
One time, in the midst of a war for their very survival against a greater foe, Galadon and Rayna gave in to their lust. It was explosive and breathtaking. Afterward, he told her it could never happen again. Galadon is one of the most powerful dragon shifters in the history of his kind and has a tragic past that began with his mother abandoning him at eight years old in a land far from home. Most other dragons fear and revile him, so he trusts no one.
Rayna is a slayer, bred to kill his kind with ruthless efficiency. When she sees Galadon, though, she doesn’t care about his other side. She sees a man who completes her soul and could end the loneliness she’s endured after years of roaming and hunting his kind. The hard part is proving he can trust her.
He is determined to resist the pull between them, but when she becomes endangered by their mutual enemy, he has to ask himself if he’s willing to lose the only woman who truly sees to the heart of him…forever.
Note- This novel contains spicy elements, violence, torture, and foul language.
I am excited to announce that Oaths & Vengeance is available on Amazon in paperback format. This edition has full-color maps inside, which turned out amazing. For those who are interested, the details are below. For those waiting for the ebook, it will be released this Friday, August 22nd. I chose to make the paperback available sooner, so it would reach readers around the same date as the digital version, depending on where you live (sooner for some, later for others).
While the paperback will only be on Amazon to keep the price lower (they required setting it for $8 higher if I wanted wide distribution), the hardback will be available everywhere because I went through Ingram instead for it, but that format will have the maps in black and white to keep the cost down. Expect to hear more about its availability later this week.
There are plenty of reviews on Goodreads and other book review sites to help you decide if Oaths & Vengeance is for you, thanks to a very enthusiastic response during my ARC campaign. I truly appreciate everyone who took a chance on my new series, most of whom had never read my work before.
The rest of the details are below, as well as a closer look at the book with the video I made to show it:
This is the final version of Oaths & Vengeance for the paperback version. It will be releasing ahead of the ebook on August 19th and includes full color maps! #romantasy#enemiestolovers
