CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR BOOK IS ABOUT?
Aioffe and Joshua return to Tudor England seeking a safe haven for their family, yet celestial portents predict disaster. Under Queen Mary I’s rule, the Catholic church has gripped power and the fae are in danger and unwelcome. Imprisoned for murder, their friend and se’er witch Nemis awaits her trial, but is crippled by visions of royal deaths.
When Queen Mary dies, political and religious upheaval shroud the horrifying truth. Aioffe and Joshua are the only people who believe Nemis’s prophecy… a killer of queens has started a campaign of terror.
As the trial looms, with Nemis’s life at stake, the murderer strikes again. It becomesclear – being different doesn’t mean you are invincible. Aioffe is destined to die next, unless the hunted becomes the hunter.
Past and present collide as the family embarks on a dangerous and forbidden journey across Elizabethan England and Scotland in search of answers. Can they capture the murderer before more queens die and a Treaty protecting all fae, witches and vampires is destroyed? Or is Aioffe’s destiny foretold after all?
But… if five crowns tumble… King Henry Fitzroy, a vampire ruling over a fae nation, can’t help but see the opportunity in Nemis’s prophecy. Is this the moment when he arises into his destiny?

- Tropes you’ll love: hidden worlds, suffering main characters, murder-mystery thriller style, created families, formidable villains and morally grey characters;
- A complex plot with dramatic twists;
- While there are romantic elements, the main characters are already in a long established couple;
- A multiple 3rd person omniscient point of view that gives depth to the story;
- A chance to escape into descriptive writing and experience accurate historical events including the death of Queen Mary I, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth I; Mary Queen of Scots and all her drama! Oh and witch trials…
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF…
By day, I juggle consultancy work with family, but by night I sneaks off into the past. My penchant for sprinkling history with magic is fuelled by coffee and Cadburys. When I am not writing, I take my dogs and small monsters into the countryside, especially if there is a castle or historic building there with a cosy coffee shop in which to escape the rain of Manchester, England. I fed all my love for history and folklore into my ‘Naturae’ historical fantasy series of novels.
