Magic Thursday-Lord of the Hunt & giveaway

Nothing says magic quite like fairies! Lord of the Hunt is the second in my Annwyn series which centers around the failing magic of Annwyn and its effects on the mortal world.

Book 1 is The Outcast Prince and Verden, Lord of the Hunt, had a very small role in the story. However he’s back in book 2 as the hero :)

The fairy realm of Annwyn lies between life (our world) and death. Once humans worshipped fairies as gods and they reigned over death….we might have forgotten that, but they haven’t.

With the King dying and boundaries between life and death are blurring and plagues are breaking out in our world. It’s not really the best time for the second most powerful fairy in Annwyn to break the rules and fall in love. Not that he even believes in love. Love is dangerous and can be used against you in Annwyn. Of course no one ever plans to fall in love.

Taryn, the heroine, certainly didn’t she was only going to Annwyn to get a pardon for her father so he won’t die when the power shifts from old king to new king…or queen.

Lust, backstabbing, poison, death threats, magic, gambling…welcome to Annwyn.

I’m giving away one copy of book 1 The Outcast Prince.

Leave a comment to go in the draw! Winner will be drawn Monday 16 December at 7am WST.

Just One Taste Is All It Takes...
This is no ordinary mirror. Caspian caught a hint of color, a whirl of a waltz just past his reflection—a glimpse into the decadent Fairy Court of Annwyn. The home he could never have. It called to him, whispering temptation after temptation...if he could only reclaim his rightful heritage.
To Be Forever Lost...
Caspian has an even stronger reason to stay in the world of humans. He's just met a woman who captivates him like no other. But loving him has proven to be dangerous. And he will do whatever it takes to protect Lydia from the vicious, seductive world of Court—even if doing so requires the ultimate sacrifice: his soul.

She Wasn't Cut Out for His World...
The realm of the fairies might be unbelievably beautiful, but its people are notoriously treacherous. Raised among mortals, Taryn hoped to avoid her fairy heritage her whole life. But now she must cross over to Annwyn and appeal to the King to pardon her exiled parents, or they're sure to die. And to get to the King, she'll first have to face the Lord of the Hunt...
He Can't Imagine Life Without Her...
Verden, Lord of the Hunt, is sworn to serve to King. But the moment he sees Taryn, the attraction is instant and devastating. How can he not help the beautiful, brave young woman who refuses to bend to the will of the court? Yet the power in Annwyn is shifting, its magic failing. No matter how much he may love Taryn, the Hunter knows that abandoning his duty could bring down the mortal world forever...
