Book Description for Book 1 – Flame and Crystal Thorns

She’s a human apothecary. He’s the fae warrior who once broke her heart… and now he needs her help.

As a skilled apothecary, Chloe desperately wants to stay in the mortal realm where she belongs. When Quintus—a fae from her past—shows up begging her to return to Faerie, she utterly refuses.

But then Chloe finds out an angry group of mortals have imprisoned an entire castle full of fae. Somehow, Chloe’s heroic older sister is among those trapped.

In effort to save the fae, she performs a ritual that gives her powerful magic…except it accidentally binds her to Quintus in the process. Unable to use magic without touching him, both Chloe’s heart and wits are tested.

Affections she’d thought long gone still linger. The fear she’s not strong enough to save anyone haunts her every action. Can a timid apothecary find the courage to face her feelings and save her sister, or will her doubts doom everyone she’s ever known and loved?

Lose yourself in this slow burn, no spice romantasy series filled with a magical binding, dragons, deadly revenge, and a brooding warrior who falls first and falls HARD.

Excerpt from Book 1 – Flame and Crystal Thorns

It lasted three full steps before a tall figure just ahead forced her to jerk to a stop. She gulped as she glanced up, but then her entire body went rigid. She gasped.

The man before her stood taller than the average mortal, but that wasn’t too out of place. His pointed fae ears, on the other hand, would make anyone stare. Not to mention, he had gloriously perfect features that made him impossibly attractive, especially for a mortal.

“Quintus.” She spoke his name like a warning. If he weren’t so beautiful, she would have glared. He never should have entered the mortal realm without masking himself with a glamour that made him appear more like an imperfect mortal.

His eyes locked onto hers with a fervor she hadn’t known since leaving Faerie. His expression commanded the utmost attention. Surely, his voice would too.

“You have to return to Faerie.”
