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 have a few things for you all about Oaths & Vengeance and Galadon. The first thing I want to let you all know is that the Galadon audiobook pre-order is up, and it will release on August 19th, 2025. You can check it out on Amazon HERE. It will be available pretty much anywhere audiobooks are sold if you prefer somewhere else. Even most of the libraries in the United States have my audiobooks via Hoopla.
Oaths & Vengeance has multiple updates. For one, I’ve been doing an ARC (Advance Review Copy) campaign ahead of the release to help get word out about my new romantasy series and so readers can see what others think of the novel before choosing to buy it once it releases. Almost all the people who have read it so far have never read any of my other books. I wanted to test the waters with an expanded audience, and thankfully, the reviews have been amazing. There are currently over fifty of them on Goodreads, along with some of them posted in other places like Instagram, Storygraph, and Fable.
I took a lot of chances with this book that bucked the trends of the genre a bit by making the FMC in her thirties and already in full control of most of her powers. Her growth comes from other facets. Also, this series has sentient plants, some of which are even mobile when the urge strikes them. I had no idea how that was going to be received, but I had to write it. For about seven years now, I’ve really gotten into gardening and love it. I thought it would be fun to create unusual and rather moody (sometimes hostile) plants since this series is set on a different planet with magic. Thankfully, that appears to be one of the favorite elements reviewers have mentioned (wipes forehead in relief). The magic system and world-building are also designed to be unique and stand out from other series in the genre, and that has been really well received as well.
PAPERBACK FOR OATHS & VENGEANCE
I’ve set up the paperback through Amazon, so it’s ready to go and will release on August 18th. That’s a few days earlier than the ebook to allow for shipping time since I can’t do a pre-order for it. I am amazed at how beautiful it came out, especially because it has color maps inside (the color maps are also in the ebook). The drawback is that color printing is more expensive, but I priced it as low as I could at $28.99.
The other drawback is that Amazon doesn’t offer color printing in Australia, and I have a decent amount of readers there. As it stands, they’d have to have the paperback shipped from the United States. I know that’s expensive. I may set up an Etsy shop or something to sell signed copies at a lower price so I can ship them down there (need to research this). Also, we hope to visit Australia again in the next year or so. When that happens, I’ll pack some in my suitcase to bring for readers. My in-laws haven’t met my youngest son yet, and my oldest turned one while we were there, so he doesn’t remember my husband’s family. While there, I can try to plan a meetup with readers in Melbourne or at least ship the paperback to them while I’m much closer.
HARDBACK FOR OATHS & VENGEANCE
I finished formatting the interior for the Oaths & Vengeance hardcover a few days ago. My cover designer is on vacation at the moment (bad timing on my part), but hopefully soon after she returns, she can format the cover for that edition and I can move on with the next step. I’m using Ingram Spark for it, which will provide much wider distribution and make it more accessible worldwide. At this stage, I’m not sure if it will be ready the same time as the paperback and ebook, but I will do my best. A lot depends on how long it takes before I receive the physical proof copy, and if it looks good, approve it for sale. The maps will be in grayscale for the hardback to make it more affordable (sorry, no color for this one). It will be $24.99, which is cheaper than the paperback, though. I will update more on this once I’ve finalized everything.
KINDLE UNLIMITED AND AUDIO
For those who have been with me a while, you know that when I release ebooks, I have them wide on all the retailers for a few days. In this case, Oaths & Vengeance will be available on Nook, Kobo, iTunes, and Google Play for four days. I’ve also given a long pre-order period, so there has been plenty of time to order it. On the evening of August 25th, I will pull the ebook off those retailers, and once it’s cleared (usually about 12 hours or so), I’ll put it in Kindle Unlimited for the readers who prefer to borrow it through Amazon. This only affects the ebook version.
For audio, most of my books have been published through Tantor/Recorded Books. I am hoping to work with them again for Oaths & Vengeance. First, though, I need to prove it will sell since it’s a new series. I also desperately want this one in duet format, which requires two narrators and costs a lot more to produce. As a result, I haven’t contacted the publisher yet (I don’t have an agent and just pitch my work to the editor they assigned me). If this book proves to do well enough after release, I will see about getting it into audio and let you all know. Fingers crossed!
That’s it for now, but feel free to ask questions below if I’ve missed something. I’ll be out doing school clothes and school supply shopping today, but I’ll get back to you all as soon as I can. Hope you’ve all had a great week!
Thanks to everyone who has grabbed Galadon so far. As promised, I’m letting you all know the ebook is now in Kindle Unlimited. You can borrow it and begin reading right away. Hope you enjoy!
I am excited to let everyone know that Galadon is now available in ebook format. This novel came to me so clearly that it was easy and fun to write. There’s plenty of action, suspense, and romance with spicy elements to keep you entertained. You’ll also get to see some of your other favorite characters again to see how they’re doing.
For the next three days, you can grab Galadon on any of the major retailers. I will pull it from everywhere except Amazon after that to enroll it into Kindle Unlimited. Once it’s in KU, I’ll post again to let everyone know who is waiting to borrow it. I’ll also update you all when I have further information on the audiobook and paperback.
Below are the details for the ebook and the retailer links. I hope you enjoy this spin-off with Galadon and Rayna!

I am excited to let you all know that Galadon, the spin-off book for the Dragon’s Breath Series, is now available to pre-order. This one will feature Galadon and Rayna as the main characters and cover their slow-burn (but also spicy) romance. It will release on April 24th, but for those who haven’t read it already, the first chapter is available HERE.

Please keep in mind that Galadon will only be available on the non-Amazon retailers for three days after it releases. Then, it will be removed from them and entered into Kindle Unlimited. If you don’t use Amazon, please be sure to pre-order or grab it quickly once it’s out. For those who prefer audio, I will let you know when I have the details on that, but it will likely be a few months after the ebook. Audio will be available everywhere.
