Ink and Feathers

Music-wielding Pipers, cursed firebirds, and warring animal shifters find love in these interconnected standalone fairytale retellings

Song of the Demon Court (book 1)

A desperate mother…
The town council traded my son to monsters as payment for services rendered. All I want is to take him back from the Pied Piper, but the king of the Pipers never forgives a debt. To remain with my child, I’ll have to play concubine to the cruel, beautiful prince. The longer I’m with him, the harder it is to see the line between fact and fiction as closely-held beliefs begin to crumble. Are the Pipers the demons I was taught to fear? Or do the prince’s actions hold a greater evil at bay?
A prince of demons…
Nothing but music stands between the Pipers and utter destruction. As heir to the Pied Piper’s throne, I have to be strong and ruthless to protect my people. But when a human woman arrives at my father’s court, making impossible demands, my rash decision to make her my mistress threatens everything I’ve been working for. The longer she’s near, the more my mask of indifference crumbles. With danger on every side, can I keep my kingdom safe and still open my heart to love?

Wings of Living Flame (book 2)

A caged firebird…

I’m bound to the sorcerer who gave me this nightly curse, forced to obey his every demand. So when he sends me to steal a magical golden apple from the king’s orchard, I must go. My fire can’t protect me from the man who guards the tree, a beautiful hunter with a rage at the world that burns hotter than my flames. Can he free me from my golden cage? Or will we burn together?

A Piper without a song…

In one fell swoop, I lost my father, my magic, and my home. Now my people’s only hope for refuge lies in the fate of a golden apple. If I find the thief who stole it, the king will grant my people refuge. If I fail, he will destroy us. But the thief isn’t what I expected, and she needs help. I can save us all—but first we have to survive those who want us dead.

Cage of Silver Frost (book 3)

Coming November 1, 2026

 

A wounded princess…

No one is blameless in war, but when I learned of the crimes my family had committed against the bear shifters, I left our gilded castle in a moment of childish rebellion. A lone hunter mistook me for his prey. Now I’m trapped in his cabin until I heal or my sister finds me. I’m drawn to him, but the secrets he’s hiding may be worse than any wound he left on my body.

A warrior on the run…

I came to the wilderness to escape the endless war between bears and swans, but when my arrow strikes the youngest daughter of the swan shifters, I find myself pulled back into the conflict I left behind. I can’t deny my growing feelings for her, but if I show her the beast beneath my skin, will she hate me? Or will I finally find the peace I’ve been searching for?
