|| WATTYS 2021 SHORTLIST ||
The day Olivia Byrne met Benjamin Cross, her day was going almost to plan... until he showed up. But it also could have gone so many different ways.
In her summer holidays between university terms, Olivia finds herself lost in the library, researching all sorts of creatures for her latest writing project. The last thing she expected was to find love amidst the shelves filled with fables, myths, and fairytales.
But lurking behind Benjamin's dreamy blue eyes lies a secret that Olivia may not be prepared for.
Jumping head first into the world of vampires, witches, fairies, and shapeshifters, Olivia finds herself in a battle to become the hero of her own story, or to succumb to her past and be, forever, vulnerable.
Will Olivia's journey through magic, love, friendship, and heartache see her story become one immortalised in fairytales?
Or will her story belong in the pages of cautionary fables?

Book 2
May is a witch and a member of the Cursed, the police force of the supernatural world. She's spent her life juggling between her daytime job of running the library in the sleepy little town of Llanidloes, and her weekend mission of keeping law and order in her world and finding revenge against the Witch Hunters, a fanatical religious group hell bent on destroying her kind, who murdered her family when she was a child.
Martin was rescued by Witch Hunters when he was a child, after watching his family being murdered by witches. He was raised in their harsh world and sent on a mission into the heart of Wales, right into May's path. When the two clash he is forced to face the secrets he's hidden from the Witch Hunters and discovers his adopted family are not all they appear to be.
