A battle-scarred knight who dreams of peace. A secret princess who knows the Empire’s darkest truths. And a marriage written in blood and betrayal. After seven years of brutal war, Remin of Andelin has become the Empire’s greatest hero—and its most feared general. His reward may be more dangerous than any war. After a campaign he was never meant to survive, his prize is a ravaged duchy and the hand of a princess no one’s ever heard of. Princess Ophele Agnephus has spent her life in an exile prison, the illegitimate child of the divine Emperor and a disgrace to the sacred stars. She never asked to be wed to a brutal conqueror, or to leave behind the only home she’s ever known for a cottage on a dangerous frontier. Trapped by her father’s bloody legacy, she can only choose whether she will protect secrets that could shatter the Empire—or step out of the shadows she’s lived in all her life. Remin wants no crown, no glory. Only a home for his knights, and a future built on something better than vengeance. But in the Andelin valley, where devils stalk through the ruins of bloody conquest, even peace is a battle. Epic in scope and intimate in heart, Traitor Son is a romantic fantasy about love in the ruins of a century of war—and the impossible dream of peace. Perfect for fans of The Witcher’s monsters, Game of Thrones’ high-stakes strategy, and Outlander’s sweeping history and unforgettable romance. Begin an epic journey with Traitor Son—and witness the beginning of a love that could redeem an Empire.

Fear the monsters we make. A swoon-worthy, spicy romantic fantasy filled with legends and monsters. The Witcher meets “Cinderella.” A princess is chosen to fulfill the terms of an ancient treaty and finds herself traveling with an infamous monster slayer.

Eleven paladins walk into a monastery. Only one knows it’s a trap. When Victoriana Greenmantle is summoned to represent her paladin order in an unusual quest, the timing couldn’t be worse. Having just witnessed the horrific death of her mentor, she is barely a paladin at all. Worse, she has a trapped demon on her hands and if anyone discovers she hasn’t quite managed to cast it out, she will be made to suffer consequences worse than death. The summoning requires Victoriana to journey to the newly revealed Aching Monastery and there to search for and recover the fabled Cup of Tears on behalf of her order. But her order is not the only one seeking this relic. And her rivals are stronger, smarter, more experienced and just as motivated as she is. Will this cynical paladin have the faith to find the truth? When Adalbrand Von Menticure is summoned to the Aching Monastery he is unamused. Far from his holy work healing the sick and injured, this quest seems a waste of his time. But when the murders start and he’s thrown together unwittingly with a young female paladin who keeps breaking all the rules and drawing everyone’s ire, he is forced to confront ghosts of his past. Can he push past his guilt to accept this tempting ally? Together, these two holy paladins may be the only ones who can discover what or who is killing their compatriots and whether the Cup of Tears is really worth the bloodshed and danger within the monastery walls before time runs out and they are trapped forever. A complicated mission, you say? Oh, but it gets worse, because forbidden love is slowly stalking them both, complicating everything, and leaving them each more vulnerable than they can afford to be in the face of a danger worse than either of them ever imagined. Will this pair find strength in their strict discipline and holy orders in time to escape, or will they fall before the twin dangers of a rogue killer and an attraction more deadly than the simple risk of death? This adult romantic epic fantasy stand-alone novel features paladins in all their aspects and is perfect for lovers of T. Kingfisher, Tamsyn Muir and Danielle L. Jensen. Though this book is a part of a collection of books linked by the same world it is a complete story in itself and does not bleed out into the other books in the series.
