Vera always knew she didn’t fit in. When she learns that she is meant to be in
another time, she leaps at the chance to embrace a new life in a world of
valor, intrigue, and unexpected magic in this bold and romantic retelling of
Arthurian legend . . .
22-year-old Vera is at a crossroads: waiting tables, grieving her previous
relationship, and jogging aimlessly each morning as if toward an uncertain
future. Then an odd man shows up at her workplace, insisting that she was once
the legendary Queen Guinevere of Camelot, and that her lost memories hold the
key to changing both the past and the present. Somehow, it all feels like the
direction she’s been looking for. But when she asks the mysterious man to tell
her more about Lancelot, Arthur, and a faithless queen, he can only say that
much of what she’s heard about Camelot is wrong. The truth, he claims, is
something she must see for herself.
After jumping through a portal in Glastonbury’s historic center, Vera is not
prepared for what she finds. Magic is everywhere, but a curse on the kingdom
means it dwindles every day. She has no idea how to perform a queen’s duties.
Her fast friendship with Lancelot sets gossip flowing, and the stranger she
must call “husband” often refuses to meet her eye. Arthur is a puzzle: cold,
forbidding, and, while angry to her face, keeps leaving secret tokens of
tenderness in her chambers. Worst of all, Vera’s memories—and the answers
locked within them—show no signs of returning. If Vera is truly destined to
save Camelot, she’ll have to trust her instincts. And her king will have to
trust her . . .
Can I outrun his merciless obsession?
I accidentally witnessed a brutal murder.
I froze, pretended I saw nothing, hoping I could leave it behind.
But my plan backfired, and my life spiraled downward.
Now, I’m the target of cold-blooded revenge.
Jude Callahan isn’t just a hockey god—he’s a devil no one dares to cross.
My existence disrupts his stardom, prestige, and possible serial killer career
choice.
And he’s set out to make me pay for that moment of silence.
No matter how much I run or hide, he finds me, watching from the shadows.
Like a predator.
I thought he’d stop at the stalking.
Or even better, he’d kill me and finally end my misery.
But Jude has other plans.
He says I can’t die. I have to pay for my sins.
And just like that, he drags me into his depraved world, kicking and screaming.
This book can be read on its own but for better understanding of the world,
it's recommended to read Beautiful Venom first.
From a remote hilltop haven, far from the city of Fantome, Seraphine Marchant
and her Order of Flames plot to eradicate shade magic with lightfire. But as
Sera struggles to control her blooming powers, destiny calls her back to
Fantome—and to the assassin who haunts her dreams.
Ransom Hale can’t get Sera out of his head. As their rivalry grows and he
grapples with the responsibility of leading the Order of Daggers, he feels
himself slipping further from who he wants to be. Is he doomed to a life in the
shadows? Or can he forge another path?
Meanwhile, rebellion is stirring in the kingdom, and a dangerous prince grows
in power. Forced to work together by order of the king, Sera and Ransom’s
conflicted hearts are tested to their limits. And all the while, an ancient
prophecy is unfolding that will change the fate of Valterre forever…
