About this ebook

THE WITCH OF THE WOODS

I protect my sister. And I protect my forest. That’s all I care about. All I need.

But a series of unfortunate events leads to me having to step outside of my beloved woods. The hunt is simple. Find the men who dared to trespass. End them. Return home.

What’s not simple? The thief with the dark eyes and a sly grin that calls to me like no one else has. But I’m the Witch of the Woods. And love is a dangerous thing.

THE CURSED WEREWOLF

I protect my sister. And I protect my troupe. That’s all I care about. All I need.

When the opportunity to get revenge—and money—falls into my lap...I can hardly say no. It’s just a simple job. Find the man who hurt someone I care about. Take his money and his life. Return home.

But the mysterious woman who invites herself to our heist is anything but simple. And the pull I feel towards her... it’s like nothing I’ve ever known. But I’m a cursed werewolf. And love is a dangerous thing.

Of Melodies and Maledictions is a fast-paced and spicy queer romantasy that is a prequel novella to Of Silver and Curses. Perfect for fans of stabby morally grey characters, fated mates, forced proximity, banter, and all the found family vibes. 

Ratings and reviews

Promising, but ultimately disappointing (the intimacy, especially). And the "pronouns," seriously?!
