The Dark Deceit

Appearances can be deceptive.

Like Snow White's apple the exterior may be shiny and innocent, while underneath a secret lurks, a maggot writhing at the core. At the heart of the fae lands lies a secret that could tear apart everything Prince Corin has come to love and hold dear but it is a secret he himself must keep.

Secrets, lies and scandal, are the coin of the fae court and no man's reputation is more scandalous that the Duke of Dannon.

Boredom has drawn him to turn his elegant hand to the dirty work of being the Queen's chief spy and... secret lover. Feared and admired, his dark reputation does little to keep the women from trying to snare him, a fate that he refuses to contemplate.
A sickness born of the human realm looms over the fae like a dark cloud as the tainted mortal world begins to poison both them and their land.
The Queen however has a plan; as rumours reach her that a faery man, long since dead and regarded as a saint for his incredible healing powers, fathered a child in the mortal realm. If the man's gift has been passed on... to his great, great granddaughter, Anaïs, the Queen wants it; and Dannon is just the man to get it for her.
Corin, Laen and Dannon will soon be drawn towards a bloody battle for power...
...will it be Anaïs who tips them over the edge?

The Darkest Night

The War has begun.

Prince Corin and Prince Laen, united against the light fae, are battling their way to the capital, Aos Sí, where Corin will claim the Kingdom for his own.

The land is pleading for a new leader, someone to save it, and the people, from its treatment at the hands of King Auberren but has Corin waited too long... has he time enough to do what he must as the land screams for him in his mind, pushing his sanity to the limits of what he can bear?

Laen is his ever present defender, brother, best friend and the man he will have no choice but to betray if he finally succeeds.

In winning the war, what, exactly will Corin lose?

The war leaves no one untouched and Claudette is torn in two directions as she fears for the lives of three men in her life. She is following Corin to the Capital, terrified that she may lose him, and waiting desperately for news from Bram, her personal spy; a disgraced nobleman turned highwayman.

He has gone to find her brother in the human world but trouble follows Bram like the tail on a cat, and this time, instead of running from his problems...

he’s going to have to take them home with him.
