Delphine has been fae-marked from birth, treated as a curse despite the fact the once treacherous fae haven’t been sighted in decades—in fact, no one in Delph’s village has so much as laid eyes on one of the folk in nearly a century. Right up until a fae turns up on her doorstep, demanding Delph as down payment. No sooner has she set foot in the fae realm, however, then she learns she’s no mere collateral in a deal made with the lord that owns her family lands. She was selected for a reason, hunted down for a single purpose. The fae courts are fading. The folk disappearing. Only four courts remain. Four princes determined to save their crumbling kingdoms. And Delph … Delph may just hold the key to save them all. But even as Delph learns to see past the feared glamour of the fae realm, she quickly learns the impossible position she’s found herself in. The fae may not be the monsters she was led to believe, but in order to save them … she may have to become a monster herself. A Veil of Truth and Trickery is the first of a New Adult reverse harem fantasy series that may contain content sensitive to some readers.

More details on the fourth chapter of Delphine's story coming soon...

There is no worse betrayal than being kidnapped by the fae. Or so Delphine thought. She’s been torn from her home, forced to face the curse that plagued her since birth, and nearly murdered more times now than she can count—and yet that never broke her. No, not even the princes, not even the kings of faerie, managed to do that. But this, this most recent betrayal, just might. And that will be their downfall. The fae should have broken her before they made her stronger. With little magic to aid her, Delph must find her way back to the human realm to reach her brother before the fae prince Nyx. She made the foolish mistake of trusting him, even for a moment, only for him to prove himself to be the beast she once believed all fae to be. He’s dangerous, determined, willing to offer up anything in exchange for the magic that will save his dying kingdom. There’s one problem with that, however. So is Delphine…and it’s not just a throne or even her brother she’s trying to save, it’s the whole human race. The tides are turning between the realms. Loyalties are shifting. Fates aligning. Something changed the night the Starlight Fae witnessed one of their own die. Nothing is certain except for this—Delphine is finally going back. She’s finally going home. Only, she isn’t going back alone. This time, she’ll have the royalty of not one, but two fae realms at her side. For better or worse, the fate of all realms is about to be decided.

There’s a reason the Starlight Fae are known as the greatest tricksters of all.Unfortunately for Delphine, she’s just begun to learn that for herself.She was warned they were not to be trusted—even when those same fae claim to share the blood running through her own veins. True to his word, Seren did not let Delphine die in Avarath, but he didn’t take her home, either.No, the king of the Starlight Court took her even further away. He took her to another faerie realm.He took her to Elysia, a place so far from the human realm that stories of it never so much as made it to their legends.Unlike Avarath, this realm’s glamour is still intact, untouched by the ravages of time. Elysia is everything that Delphine expected faerie to be. It’s everything that Avarath wasn’t.It’s ethereal. Enchanting. Inviting.But in some ways, the ways that matter the most, the two realms remain the same.Elysia is still faerie, and so despite Seren’s promises to protect her, it’s the most dangerous place for Delph to be... especially when the four fae who tried to kill her once somehow do the impossible and find her again.Caldamir. Tethys. Armene. Nyx.The four princes of Avarath.The four princes who betrayed her.The re-emergence of the Starlight Court has changed everything, but not in the way Delph might have hoped. Certainly not in the way that would allow her to forgive the princes for what they tried to do—what they’ll inevitably try again. The collision of realms broke something, and it’s only a matter of time before even Delphine’s own fae turn on her too. She can feel it.If she’s going to survive in the realms of faerie, she’s going to have to learn how to play the game. Or, more specifically, the art of the deal.She’s already made one deal with the king of this new realm and lived to tell the tale. This time, she’ll make sure she gets what she wants out of it. This time, she’ll make sure she gets home.Truly home.To Alderia.If the other fae don’t beat her there first.

Earth. Psychic. Ritual. The three magical affinities. No mage has ever been chosen by all three…until now. My name is Octavia Hadley, and I am the mage who broke the affinity ritual. I have been at the New York Academy of Mages for less than one day and the school board already wants to strip me of my powers. It would be a whole lot simpler if it didn’t also mean giving up on them—the four mages that I got paired up with: Kendall, my best friend’s twin brother, Draven, the leather-clad ritual mage, Cedric, the principal’s son, and Flynn, the only other mage who also has more than one affinity. The school board tells me I am mistake, but I know that isn’t right. This magic is mine, and I will find a way to keep it. My paired mages will fight beside me even if it means losing everything—so long as it means they don’t have to lose me too. ABSORB is a young adult/new adult paranormal reverse harem romance novel. It is the first in the Forgotten Affinities series.

There's something wrong with the inmates at Ashford Asylum. And Thalia is no exception. From the moment she set foot in this place, escape was the one thing on her mind. Until now. Until she started to wonder if maybe she belongs here. It's more than madness that haunts these crooked halls. In fact, it might not be madness at all, but something darker. Something that drew them here to this place in the first place. Something that makes them all stay. Try as they might not to, even the self-proclaimed princes of this place start to see it too. Price. Ives. Kingsley. Bentley. They might have run this place for a decade before Thalia arrived, but they can’t do it anymore. Not without her. Not when even they couldn’t break her. When Thalia first arrived at the Asylum, staying inside its walls was the worst fate she could imagine. But as the truth of how she got in here in the first place comes out, she starts to wonder which is worse? Leaving the asylum knowing there’s not one person left outside these walls who she can trust…or staying inside, where at least she has allies. More than allies, she has friends. Lovers. People who know her. Understand her. Care for her, even. People who won’t look at her gifts as a curse. They say no one leaves Ashford Asylum. Now she’s starting to understand why. A House So Cruel is a dark enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance where the main character has no intention of choosing between the love interests she starts falling for. It is the second part of the Asylum Bound duology. This series contains steam and sensitive subjects that may not be suitable for all readers.

Some call it grief. Some call it madness. When Thalia Novak’s parents die in an unexpected accident, it’s all too much for her to handle. She’s spent a lifetime trying to keep the voices at bay, to keep them a secret, but this time their screams can’t be ignored. And neither can Thalia’s. Not too far away, it’s a very different body causing a very different problem. It’s not the first body to be carted off from Ashford under suspicious circumstances. And unless something changes, it won’t be the last. A House So Dark is a short story prequel of the events leading up to Thalia’s commitment to Ashford Asylum in the Asylum Bound duology.

Previously published as Asylum Bound by Analeigh Ford. This isn’t your ordinary asylum, and these aren’t your ordinary patients. Ashford isn't the sort of place you’re sent to get better, it’s the sort of place you’re sent to be forgotten. Thalia already knows that from the moment she arrives. Long abandoned by the families who put them away to begin with, this place has had to develop its own sort of hierarchy to keep from falling apart. And it all starts with Price, Ives, and Kingsley—the self-proclaimed princes of Ashford Asylum as untouchable as they are cruel. Price, the boy whose mere presence makes the mind go mad. Ives, whose temper makes the whole asylum go into panic. And Kingsley. Kingsley, the greatest threat of all…mostly because he’s as unpredictable as he is vicious. Tempered only by the fact that he shares his body with a boy as kind as he is dangerous. The three of them think they can bully the rest of the inmates into submission, force them to bow to their reign…but there’s one little problem. Thalia doesn’t run from chaos. She embraces it. Unlike the rest of the inmates, she’s no victim. She’s dealt with bullies like them all her life. Anything they do to her, she’ll do ten times worse. Let them try to bruise her, she’ll break them. If she doesn’t get out of there first. There’s only one problem with that—no one leaves Ashford Asylum. Not until now. Not if Thalia has anything to do with it. Not when the voices are telling her otherwise. A House So Mad is a dark enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance where the main character has no intention of choosing between the love interests she starts falling for. It’s the first part of the Asylum Bound duology. This series contains steam and sensitive subjects that may not be suitable for all readers.

If you’d told me six months ago that I would end up at the Academy for the Dark Arts, I never would’ve believed you. But I wouldn’t have believed I was a Dark Witch either...and look how that turned out. Being a Highborne Witch was simple. Maybe I wasn’t allowed to cast curses or summon demons, but I was okay with that. And sure, sometimes we burned each other at the stake. But only when someone really deserved it. I was content. Happy, even. And then the initiation rites go so very wrong. Suddenly, I’m not a Highborne Witch anymore. Witch Law forbids me to stay so I’m given two choices—burn at the stake or attend the Academy of the Dark Arts. It’s a choice that seems simple enough until I arrive at my new school only to find the witches there don’t trust me either. I’m instantly branded an outsider. An outcast among outcasts. Well joke’s on them. They can whisk me off to another city and send me to a school full of zombified servants and half-spider people, but I’m not going to just sit back and take it. This is all some kind of horrible mistake. I’m determined to prove it. At least, until three handsome Dark Witches make me question everything. Merlin, Puck, and Nicholas. The more time we spend together, the more I wonder if Dark Witches are really so different after all. Even if they are…would it really be so bad if I turn out to be one of them? DARK WITCH is an upper YA/NA reverse harem romance, complete at over 100,000 words and one *very* steamy love scene. It’s the first book in the Academy of the Dark Arts series.
