A spirited young woman's quest for the extraordinary entangles her in a deadly investigation, where she must unravel murder, life-altering secrets and a forbidden love that transcends realms to save all she holds dear. Bound by the constraints of Victorian England, Lady Alice Hyde's future appears secure in a marriage arranged by her uncle, the Viscount. But her heart yearns for more than being a traditional and dutiful wife. Blessed, or cursed as it seems, with a curious mind and a thirst for knowledge, she eagerly anticipates a visit to The Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace. However, her journey takes a darker twist when she stumbles upon the lifeless body of a young woman. Drawn into the investigation alongside the enigmatic and exasperating Cyan, Alice finds herself on a treacherous path fraught with danger and desire. Together, Alice and Cyan battle not only dark forces but also a growing attraction that defies the chasm between their worlds. As they unravel the mystery behind the murder, Alice discovers a whole new realm of terrifying possibilities that leads them to an all-powerful and vengeful fae who threatens everything. In a mesmerising blend of romance, fantasy and intrigue, The Charmed is a spellbinding tale of love, magic and choosing one's destiny. Join Alice and Cyan on a heart-stilling journey where they discover that even in the darkest of shadows, love can illuminate the way and potentially conquer the impossible. The Charmed is the first book in the Fae of the Crystal Palace series and brings together the historical romance of Bridgerton with the mystery of Sherlock Holmes and an irresistible sprinkle of A Court of Thorns and Roses fae.

One broken empire. Two Headstrong Princesses. A Mercurial King. An Idealistic Prince. And An Ambitious Adviser. Together they can unite and bring peace to all of their nations but only if they can overcome their prejudices and hate for each other. Luckily there's a thin line between love and hate, but for some that line can never be crossed. Jealousy, revenge and greed face off against magic and a powerful prophecy, leaving one undeniable truth - in Kypria, love always has deadly consequences. The Earth King's Heir features key characters from the Kyprian Prophecy series leading up to the fateful night of the blood moon as chronicled in The Firemaster's Legacy - The Kyprian Prophecy Book 1.

War has arrived in Kypria. Unlikely allies unite and mighty warriors clash. To protect the people and land she loves, Arisa must fulfil her destiny and overcome her past demons. Arisa flees to Kengia with Takai in pursuit only to find that her father's homeland provides little comfort or safety. In the capital, Lochlen, Arisa trains to harness all of her powers but meets blockages in the form of distrusting tribal chiefs, adversarial family members, and conflicting feelings about Takai and a fascinating Kengian Custodian. In Lamore, the fearsome Northem fleet arrives with a mysterious navigator - a silver-eyed girl with incredible powers...powers that she uses to weaponise firesky after Amund refuses to help. Lamore and the Northemers join forces and armed with the devastating new firesky weapons declare war on Kengia and the Lamorian rebels. Kypria's only hope of salvation is the Water Catcher and two equally powerful ghosts from the past.

Lamore is on the brink of war. Victory will depend on two things: who commands firesky and whether one silver-eyed girl can make the biggest leap of faith - believing in herself, believing in love and believing in the prophesied Water Catcher. After quelling the riots in Obira City, Arisa is celebrated for saving Lamore and the King who she had once vowed to kill, but living at the Lamorian Royal Court has never been more dangerous. After a Northem invading party breaches Lamore Castle, former Chancellor Horace becomes more desperate to secure firesky as a weapon, so he intensifies his threats against Arisa and her guardian, Erun. As Lamore prepares for war, Arisa and Prince Takai are drawn to each other and find themselves working together to save not just the kingdom but each other's lives. But everything unravels when Takai discovers the truth about Arisa - a truth that is bigger and more deadly than they could have ever imagined.

Firesky is the ultimate weapon. It will either obliterate or liberate all of Kypria. One silver-eyed girl has the power to determine their fate - if she dares to question everything she believes in. Arisa is a silver-eyes - a magical race feared and hunted in the Kyprian nation of Lamore. She has survived by hiding her identity but her best friend and father weren't so fortunate. Her luck runs out when she is forced to serve at the Lamorian Royal Court with her guardian, Erun, who is conscripted to weaponise a great power known as firesky - a power not seen since the time of the last Firemaster. With war on the horizon, and no hope of a prophesied saviour materialising, Arisa formulates a deadly plan to tear the brutal regime apart from the inside. There's just one problem...the arrogant, exasperating and intriguing Prince Takai.
