Synopsis - Book 1
Two kingdoms, two seasons,
and a feud as old as the realm itself.
Prince Isanfier and Princess Skiansy of Summer were four years old when their parents were murdered in their sleep. Twelve years have passed since, but the tragedy has not lost its sting, and Isan is determined to avenge them. He suspects the assassin hails from within the icy clutches of Winter, a kingdom that has always wanted to bring Summer to its knees.
When his uncle, King Arkenier, declares war, Isan sees it as the perfect opportunity to give Winter what it deserves, while his sister fears it will plunge the entire realm into chaos. Isan is willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge, but he is unprepared for the challenges he will face along the way.
His quest will test his strength — both mental and physical — as he braves the Edgewood, fights battles on snow covered fields, and learns of a curse that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
How far will Isan’s vengeance take him and will
he even recognize himself in the mirror
when it is all said and done?
Synopsis - Book 2
Two kingdoms, two royals, and a curse that threatens to destroy the fragile peace between them.
Prince Isanfier and Princess Skiansy have returned from the war with heavy hearts, but their battles are far from over. Fidal’s curse looms over Isan's head and he knows Icaria is still out there, plotting to finish what King Frost and Darkenier started.
Dealing with the fallout of the King’s death is a difficult dance, and to make matters worse, the Council has called a Festival of Honour, in hopes of choosing the next Queen and Prince Consort of Summer. Marriage is the furthest thing from Isan's mind as he struggles with his unpredictable newfound magic, his tenuous alliance with Asmund, and a controlling Captain of the Guard who judges his every move.
When disaster strikes, Isan discovers he's not the only one keeping secrets, and is forced to seek refuge in the Edgewood. Echo may be his saviour once again, but the stakes are high and time is running out.
Will Isan learn to control his magic in time to save his kingdom or will the wrath of Winter reach him first?
Synopsis - Novella (2.5)
Once a generation, in the Kingdom of Summer, the Festival of Honour is held, a competition between the noble children of the kingdom to earn the Prince or Princess' hand in marriage and become royalty themselves.
Princess Skiansy didn't think the Festival would come so soon, and certainly not after barely surviving the war with Winter. Now, she must dance and smile while others decide her fate, abandoning the dream of true love for duty.
Asmund Arrath has waited for the Festival all his life, to bring honour to his family and make his father proud, but the competition threatens the friendship he's built with Prince Isan and his twin sister, Sky, something Asmund is not sure he's willing to sacrifice.
Told in dual POV, Honour's Heart follows the two young Sancians during the events of Winter's Wrath as they fall in love behind the scenes and discover that while there is honour in following your duty, there is also honour in following your heart.
Honour's Heart is a newsletter exclusive ebook and is best read after both Summer's Revenge & Winter's Wrath.
Synopsis - Book 3
A prince of fire, a queen of ice, and a war to end all wars...
Prince Isanfier and Princess Skiansy of Summer barely escaped the Winter Palace with their lives, but Fidal isn’t done with them yet. War is looming on the horizon and the fate of the very realm lies in Isan’s hands.
Furious at his failure to kill Icaria and the loss of his first love, Isan finds it hard to ignore the pull of the Curse, but his own kingdom is in dire need of saving before he can turn his gaze southward again. Summer is trapped beneath Lord Quinton’s iron fist and Isan will need all the magic and allies at his disposal to wrest back control, before it’s too late.
As Isan plans Summer’s salvation and Winter’s demise, his mother’s words echo in the back of his mind, reminding him that he is the Prince of Fire, true heir to the Wyllan throne and chosen saviour of both kingdoms, whether he likes it or not.
Will Isan accept his destiny in time to save the realm
from Fidal's curse or will it all fall to ruin beneath
his own ashen touch?
