About the book:

Princess Wren Aranvia’s existence is kept secret from the entire world.

Forbidden from leaving the palace grounds until the day she marries, the worst thing she can imagine happening to her is being forced into a betrothal.  But when her family is brutally slaughtered by mysterious, masked assassins, Wren’s forced to flee the only life she has ever known, straight into the perilous wilds of Lodhanis.  Hunted and alone, she falls into the hands of dangerous Elven rebels, the very people who most likely killed her family, and who very much want her dead – like Feilann, a brooding, frustratingly cryptic rogue who guards an impossible secret that could very well tear Wren apart. 

In a world shaped by spell-wielding Beasts and twisted by the ambition of men, Wren slowly unravels the secrets behind her family's murder.  But along the way, she awakens an ancient, untamed magic that tempts fate, calling into question everything she’s ever known and exposing truths long buried by legend and ash.

“The Last Beast” is the first installment in a five-part Romantasy series with Entwined Publishing, coming January 12, 2027.

Terrifying Beasts.  Bloodthirsty kings.  Dangerous rebellions.  And a secret history that could topple an entire nation.  Welcome to Lodhanis, the land Wren Aranvia calls home. 

Expected to live the quiet, obedient life of a princess, Wren’s world is suddenly thrown into chaos – made all the more complicated by the appearance of Feilann, and the inexplicable bond that forms between them.  Driven by an ancient magic, Wren’s determined to right that which has wronged her, even if it means emerging on the other side more Beast than Human.

This sweeping, five-part Romantasy series follows an unlikely heroine’s journey of vengeance and self-discovery as she navigates centuries-old rivalries, wild magic, and a sizzling romance, all within a world that is rich and storied.

Book One, “The Last Beast,” will be available on January 12, 2027. Pre-order your e-book copy now.
