Among the Thorns
“… a romantasy that’s part fairy tale, part horror story, and completely entrancing, Lambert returns to the delicious magical world of Never the Roses, where sorcerers are bred and used to benefit the rich. At 20, Rose is a solitary and exceedingly talented oneiromancer, or someone who possesses powerful dream magic. She’s rapidly approaching the end of her schooling and the moment she’ll need to enter into a blood-bound contract with a wealthy employer. As a seventh son, Prince Sebastien is supremely unlikely to inherit his father’s throne and is instead dispatched to Hendricks Academy for Sorcerous Pursuits to train his newly recognized ability to communicate with animals and woo Rose for his father’s court. Meanwhile, Thorn, also 20, is held prisoner in a small cottage, the only home she’s ever known. It’s a Cinderella-like existence, devoted to using her psychometry (the power to detect an object’s history via touch) to line the pockets of her neglectful guardian, Jada, and dreaming of the fair-haired prince she once saw in a vision. Thanks to some well-timed twists of fate, the trio’s paths explosively converge, shattering their preconceived notions of each other and themselves.”

***

Two sorceresses of unrivaled potential clash to claim the greater fate and the heart of prince charming in this deliciously romantic fantasy set in the same world as the USA Today bestselling romantasy Never the Roses by Jennifer K. Lambert.

“Love, magic, heartbreak, and healing.”
– Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Spellshop, on Never the Roses

Ambitious young sorceress Rose of Northbrooke is about to graduate. She’s the only known dream sorcerer of her generation and she’s a remarkable one. No wonder she has a prince of the realm trailing her skirts.

But when rumors of dream magic gone awry reach her ear, Rose discovers she’s not the only oneiromancer of her generation. And she might not be the most powerful.

In a faraway cottage, Thorn has lived a simple and isolated life. She longs to be a part of the world and to be rescued by a prince who could love her with his whole heart. When she discovers there’s another dream sorceress out there who owns everything Thorn has ever wanted, she hungers even more for all she’s been denied. Everything Rose has.

When Rose and Thorn meet, the outcome is clear: only one sorceress can live out in the open and claim the prince’s loving hand… Perhaps, only one can live at all.

Deliciously messy and lusciously romantic, Among the Thorns will pierce your heart.

New Release! BLADES, BOOKS, AND THE BANDIT

Description

Cha, “The Bandit,” has a problem.

Well, one more problem than usual. The fae prince she stupidly fell in love with got himself taken hostage and sent her a plea to rescue him. Never mind that he left her forever after calling her “no one” and “a ride, nothing more” – and everyone knows the fae can’t lie.

Cha can’t resist his call for help.

So, with Katu, her trusty jaguar sportscat, and her best friend, Goldilocks, the Bandit takes to the ley lines again on a daring mission to penetrate the fae realm of Citrine, find Prince Charming, and rescue him from the dragon. Or whatever fae politics he’s mired in.

If she can earn a bit of coin smuggling pixie dust along the way, all the better. For gold, glory, and thrills!

And maybe true love…

A rollicking romantasy.”

New Release! New Series!! LOVE, LIES, AND LEY LINES

It’s been years since the infamous smuggling team of Bandit and Goldilocks thumbed their noses at the fae authorities, running the priceless magical pixie dust desired by everyone from hedge witches to the storied magic academies. No one in the human principalities controlled by the fae can work even the simplest spells without the stuff. And without fae magic, humans will find themselves back in the dark ages of disease and fast mortality. But the enigmatic fae keep a tight grip on their monopoly of pixie dust, charging extortionate prices at their whim.

Bandit has been doing her best to get by on her racing wins and the quick thrill of one-night stands while her former partner and best friend, the powerful sorceress known as Goldilocks, is off playing house and having babies. But when Bandit gets the offer of a lifetime, she convinces Goldilocks to come out of retirement for one last, hugely profitable gig.

And if the Bandit picks up a mysterious and seductive hitchhiker fleeing his wedding, well that just adds a bit of spice to the job. When he refuses to tell her his name, she dubs him Prince Charming and only regrets that she won’t have time to find out more about her enticing companion—and what he looks like under those fancy clothes.

As the Bandit and Prince Charming run distraction for Goldilocks and her precious haul, they face untold dangers penetrating the arcane fae realms.

All for gold, glory, and maybe even true love.

Or lust. It can be hard to tell the difference.

Reviews

RELUCTANT WIZARD Out Now!

Only in an insane world would a young wizard find herself battling monsters and automatons one day and returning to Convocation Academy to cram for finals the next. But this is the world Alise Phel lives in.

Like it or not, Alise must face the consequences of ditching out a second time and dealing with the crushing workload assigned to her as a punishment. Worse yet, succeeding at the Academy means Alise must learn to master her powerful and unusual magic—the same magic that caused her to accidentally murder her own mother.

But graduating is her only way to protect the family she has left—and perhaps save the Convocation itself.

Cillian Harahel is a wizard of the mind. An archivist. A disciplined thinker. Thus, he absolutely cannot be in love with Alise Phel. Apart from the fact that he is faculty and she’s a student—one destined for far more greatness than a lowly librarian like him—the provost has told him in no uncertain terms that Alise is off limits, which would be much more of a problem if Alise actually remembered he was alive.

Cillian has resigned himself to being Alise’s friend and mentor, but when she cuts off even that much contact, in the coldest way possible, he suspects that darker forces than either of them imagined are haunting her. Alise has made it clear she wants nothing to do with him, but how can he abandon her to the demons clawing at her, from her House’s enemies to the doubts plaguing her own heart?

 

TWISTED MAGIC Out Now!!

Their love makes them stronger together… Unless the world rips them apart

Jadren El-Adrel knows he’s a mess. He’s a cobbled-together monster pretending to be a wizard, still unable to master the magic that makes him pretty much immortal and is useless for anything else. Though he’s tried to learn to work with his familiar, Seliah, he’s still terrified to discover what might happen if he gives himself full access to the depths of her powerful magic. Some questions should never be answered.

Seliah Phel got her happy ever after. Jadren loves her; they’re together in a safe and beautiful place; and they’re finally learning to work together as wizard and familiar. But even she must recognize that Jadren continues to stew in his black moods, brooding that only worsens when he receives a missive from home, his horrible family demanding the unthinkable: that they both return to House El-Adrel.

As the denizens of House Phel fight an increasingly pitched battle against the enemies determined to destroy them forever, Jadren and Selly fight their own war—against the past and to overcome their own failings. To become truly stronger together.

ROGUE FAMILIAR RELEASE DAY!

He left to save her from herself… But who will save him from her?

When Lady Seliah Phel wakes from a drugged sleep to find herself abandoned by her newly bonded wizard, she vows revenge—and to hunt him down. Tracking him through the familiar wilds of the marshlands of her home is the easy part; learning to use her nascent magical skills is something else entirely. So is facing the vast, uncaring society of the Convocation in a time of brewing war.

Jadren El-Adrel is not known for doing the right thing, but getting as far away from Seliah as possible before he drains her dry will be his one noble gesture. So what if she weeps a few tears. Better than her dying in his service—or enabling him to become the ravenous beast that crawls beneath his skin. Unfortunately, in his self-imposed exile, and without the power of his familiar, Jadren quickly runs afoul of the enemy.

As her vengeful quest for recapture becomes a rescue mission, Selly faces all she still doesn’t know about the greater world of wizards and familiars. And Jadren, once determined to walk his own path and stay far, far away from the idealistic fools of House Phel, finds himself aligning with them against the house of his birth. War is coming to the Convocation, which means a clever wizard should pick the side most likely to win.

Sadly, Jadren has never been all that clever…
