FROM THE ASHES (Birth of the Fae, Vol. 1, Book Three)
They will either burn the world down, taking their courts with them. Or rise from the ashes together …
Once, peace between the Court of Dark and Light seemed possible. A treaty was signed, a new balance was agreed upon. But now it all may go up in flames.
Queen Aurora and King Jarvok are refusing to end their battle. And with neither willing to surrender, their kingdoms are on the edge of destruction.
Until a ghost from the past intervenes.
For the first time, the monarchs see more than their differences. They recognize the darkness and light are inextricably linked, and what has been missing all along in their attempts for peace—mutual understanding.
Attempting to strengthen their newfound partnership is not without risks. Asking the respective courts to support the reconciliation of royal enemies after centuries of brutality is plagued with danger. Especially when some Fae will go to any length to ensure failure.
But in putting aside their old hurt and vendettas for their kingdom’s safety, Queen Aurora and King Jarvok find they are risking something far more precious than their crowns. Something that cannot be won on a battlefield.
Their hearts …
FIRE, ICE, ACID, AND HEART (Tales from the Veil #1)
Dark Fae soldier Jennara and her fierce Fire-Breather dragon, Kali, have trained for months, their sights set on the Tournament of Fire, Ice, and Acid—a deadly competition that determines who will join the elite ranks of Blood Haven’s warriors. The tournament, a cycle-long tradition of honor and respect, has never been more perilous.
But this year, treachery mars the hallowed grounds of Blood Haven. High Council Guard Yagora shatters centuries-old traditions, excluding Jennara and Kali from the nominees. As chaos looms, Azrael, another council member, steps in determined to restore fairness. Unbeknownst to him, darker forces are at play within the fortress walls.
Jennara and Kali’s fight becomes more than just a quest for glory—it becomes a battle for survival. Thrust into a world of deceit and danger, they must navigate through fiery trials and icy treachery, forging alliances and facing formidable foes.

“After summoning this world into existence through an imaginative force of will, Danielle has scoured every inch of the landscape several times over. Critics often praise a story’s world building by saying that it feels ‘lived in.’ Well, the world of the Fae certainly seems like that because Danielle herself has happily lived there for years as she worked to put all of this together.”
