Artura is a healer. Her home is in the grips of war. A war on the very thing she values most: her freedom.
Accused of witchcraft and treason against Cimran and the wicked king who rules the land, Artura and Emrys, the man who loved and raised her as his own, are forcibly taken from their home. At the hands of The Cleanse, an elite group of soldiers tasked with eradicating magic from the kingdom, the pair are handed over to King Helmar and locked away beneath the mountain range bordering the city.
Artura has one goal: Do not break. No matter what happens.
Tortured and taunted for months, when Artura is then one day handed over in marriage to a neighbouring king, it feels like this is yet another twisted form of punishment at the hands of King Helmar. Only, Artura realises that her betrothed, King Thorn of House Sorega, is not what he seems.
Whisked away from the place that has haunted her dreams for so long, Artura discovers things about herself that she never thought possible.
That perhaps all along, she really was guilty.
And perhaps it might be her greatest asset.
A whirlwind journey of pain and heartbreak, love and self discovery, ‘Queen of Poison & Fire’ will captivate you from the very start.
“I know you,” he whispered against my skin. “You and I, we are the same, sparrow. One flesh, one blood. One heart and soul. I am bound to you and you to me. I’ve known you for an age. Wanted you even longer. I waited for someone like you and now that you’re here, I am never letting you go.
You are mine, Artura. Mine.
I protect what is mine. I keep close what is mine.
I am utterly devoted to what is mine.”

When tragedy strikes Winter Court, Orphelia finds her world turned upside down. Everything she's built is ripped away in one brutal moment. Fleeing to the continent, she finds herself training under Dianthe, Goddess of Creation, preparing to take down dark forces that threaten to tear apart the empire. With the prospect of war looming on the horizon, alliances must be formed and enemies defined.
Yet the world is much larger than Orphelia ever knew and she comes to find she's merely one player in a very dangerous game.

The seas rage at your fingertips and the earth quakes at your slightest footstep. I wonder, are you aware of your power? Do you know what you could be, Orphelia?”
