The Sting of Victory
“When faced with monstrosity, become the greater monster. The sting of victory will fade with time.”
Haunted by a history of horror and abuse, Flowridia, a witch with a tender heart, finds a second chance in the home of her kingdom’s royal family. With employment comes friendship, and perhaps she has finally found a place to belong—until she catches the eye of Lady Ayla Darkleaf, a woman with enticing grace and a predatory smile. The corrupt world of politics consumes her, and Flowridia falls into a toxic love affair surely doomed for heartbreak. Yet when Ayla’s legacy as a monster unfolds, Flowridia sees only the tender soul hiding beneath.
An ancient deity returns, hell-bent on restoring the world to its natural order, and Flowridia’s kingdom is tasked to stop him. Caught in the ensuing clash of gods, her loyalties will be tempted at every turn—by family, by fate, and by the woman whose claws grip her heart.
Horror abounds, monsters rise, and hearts break in the first installment of FALLEN GODS.

Among Gods and Monsters
“Look at you, as sweet as springtime, your heart and soul both. Would you destroy all of that to bring about your love’s return?”
The dead lay gone but not forgotten. War has sparked in the demonic realm of Sha’Demoni, ignited by the wrath of a vengeful goddess seeking recompense for her daughter’s death – and she deems Flowridia responsible. Meanwhile, Flowridia embarks on a journey with Imperator Casvir of Nox’Kartha, the mysterious patron of her powers. Casvir’s assistance in her kingdom’s quest to stop the reborn God of Order could ensure victory, but not without its own costs. After all, he who writes the contracts writes them in his favor.
Flowridia’s powers flourish under Casvir’s tutelage, manifesting in talents beyond her nightmares and dreams. With the strings of life and death held in her grasp, destiny might come at the cost of her soul.
All the while, Flowridia is plagued by dreams of Ayla Darkleaf, as well as the tantalizing promise of her lost love’s return – for a price. But the city of the dead is full of secrets, and those her lover kept were the darkest of all.
Blood of the Moon
“Warm her heart. Cherish it. Kiss her as you slit her pretty throat.”
Successful in her quest, Flowridia returns to Staelash for a joyous affair—the long awaited wedding of Marielle and Zorlaeus, an event promising to seal her kingdom and Nox’Kartha as allies. But the price of Ayla’s return, and the sacrifice it demands, weighs heavily on her heart. To do nothing means to live a life of loneliness, but to act would condemn her forever in the eyes of the world.
Meanwhile, Etolié wades through the cesspool of politics, yet drowns in a loneliness she cannot voice in words. The news of Khastra’s new position in Nox’Kartha forces her to confront a few harsh truths of her past, as well as her place in her dearest friend’s life . . . if she has a place at all.
For Flowridia’s mission to be complete, she must make allies of enemies—including enemies thought dead. And Etolié finds herself at the center of a murderous conspiracy, yet to speak the truth would condemn the one she loves the most.
Kingdoms clash, betrayal is nigh, and the bounds of love are tested in the third installment of Fallen Gods.
Tear the World Apart
“A wedding day for you… and a night for me.”
The God of Order marches on, approaching victory with every stride. Frustrated with the stagnation of politics, Etolié takes matters into her own hands, resolving to find the reborn God and defeat him herself—with the help of her favorite half-demon, of course. An unexpected ally finds them in the woods, claiming to know his whereabouts, and while Etolié knows better than to trust vampires, Mereen Fireborn seems honest enough.
Meanwhile, Flowridia basks in her impossible victory, even if the haunting memory of its cost lurks in every shadow. Joy comes with compromise, however, because the woman she loves will never die, and so neither must she. Immortality holds a soul-wrenching cost. Flowridia agrees to pay it with a single addendum—that they first be wed.
Gods rise, kingdoms fall, and a monster is unleashed in the fourth installment of FALLEN GODS.
Eve of Endless Night
“Face your sins.”
War erupts between Nox’Kartha and the Elven Territories, but the world feels far away for Flowridia and Ayla Darkleaf, living a life of bliss–until a summons from the Elven Council upturns their world. Respect among the elves must be earned, and Flowridia steps into a political regime more dangerous than any she has experienced before. But though their allies are unpredictable, they are powerful, and Flowridia thinks she might’ve found a place for her small family to belong . . .
. . . until the whole world ends with a click and a boom.
Darkness falls, enemies become allies, and family is forged and shattered in the fifth installment of FALLEN GODS.
