She dreamed of owls and smoke. She woke to a kingdom in peril.

Addie Howell thought she’d perfected the art of holding it all together—until her anxiety-fueled sleep hallucinations rip her from Manhattan into a realm teetering on the edge of distruction. Lost and reeling, she’s captured by Gwilym (Will) Noctura, arrogant commander to Threllwood’s ruthless Druid Queen—and her only chance of surviving this strange land.

When the deadly Scourge ravages their party, Addie recognizes the blight from her darkest dreams—and unwittingly unleashes the only power that can repel it. As sole witness, Will drags her before his Druid Queen. Addie braces to be used as a weapon, but Will conceals her secret and offers a choice: return to the mortal realm’s safety, or stay to uncover the truth of her magic—and risk becoming a coveted prize.

As a fragile alliance sparks into dangerous attraction, Addie must navigate the Owl Kingdom’s deadly forests and hidden aeries to learn the truth of her past—and power. With the Scourge closing in and the Queen tightening her grip, Addie must choose: risk her life for the realm—and the man—she’s come to love, or abandon them both for the safety of a life that was never hers.

KINGDOM OF THE OWL combines the sweeping romance and “down the rabbit hole” immersion of Outlander with the magic, enemies-to-lovers tension, and hidden destiny of Spark of the Everflame, bridging the contemporary and fantastical in a way that is both epic and one-of-a-kind.

Allie Whitstrom is on the fast track to the life she’s always wanted: a dream design job, a charming apartment in Old Town Alexandria, and a future with her perfect boyfriend, Ben. The only flaw in her carefully curated life? Beckham Tate—Ben’s infuriatingly smug best friend, business partner, and perpetual thorn in her side.

Beckham Tate doesn’t do feelings—or failure. Not on the rugby field, in business, or when it comes to the darkest parts of his past. His biggest secret? He’s always had a soft spot for Allison Whitstrom—one he’s buried under years of animosity, for Ben’s sake.

But when Ben dies suddenly, their worlds implode, leaving Allie a shell of her former self, and Beckham mourning not just his best friend, but the only tether he had to Allie.

Two years later, Allie is ready to go from surviving to thriving. But when she’s assigned to redesign the new headquarters for Verdant Group—a rebrand of the company she watched Ben and Beckham build from the ground up—she’s forced to face the past she’s worked so hard to outrun.

Now working side-by-side on a high-stakes project, Allie and Beckham can’t avoid each other—or the chemistry that’s always simmered beneath their sparring. As old wounds reopen and long-buried feelings surface, they’ll have to decide: will the truth destroy them, or is risking their hearts the only way to heal?
