Book 4

Nathan Mercer, known to some as Winter's Wolf, the Fae's Bane, and scourge of the Winter realm. 

Known to others as the friendly Innkeeper who will always help those in need.

 

Having thwarted a plot that threatened to plunge the fae into war, Nathan finds himself entangled in an even greater mystery. The Scions, descendants of the Greek Gods, have arrived in Portland, demanding justice for the alleged murder of Dionysus's son. They’re blaming Margie, Nathan’s niece. Trouble is, Margie is missing.

 

With the Scions hot (and violent) on his tail, Nathan embarks on a perilous quest to unearth the truth and clear Margie's name. As the clock ticks down, he must navigate the intricate layers of magical families, each harboring secrets and power rivalling the gods themselves.

 

Are you ready to dive into the shadows and unveil the secrets that lie beneath the surface?

Winter's Wolf

Book 3

It's been more than a decade since Nathan Mercer escaped from the lands of the fae. He had once vowed that he would rather die than go back.

That all changes when the princess of the Spring Court arrives at the inn running for her life, seeking Nathan's help. Not one to turn away somebody in need, Nathan offers her his protection, yet the only way to fulfill his promise is to return to the one place that has haunted his existence since he could remember.

It's now up to Nathan, Silera, and Sabine to journey into the frozen hallways of the Winter Court and find the culprit behind the threat on the spring princess life. Nathan must face his past, reconcile his present and prepare for his future if he is to survive the biggest challenge of his long life. A royal ball.

Someone better get his tux ready, things are about to get bloody.
