    Summary

    "Shadows may hide...but the light reveals all."

    After the events of A Court of Silver Flames, Gwyneth Berdara begins a quiet journey of healing, strength, and self-discovery beneath the stars of Velaris. As her power awakens into something stronger than anyone could have imagined, and the Night Court’s shadows draw closer, an unfamiliar bond forms between her and the male who commands the dark. Slow, tender, and unspoken, their connection may prove to be the balance they never knew they needed.

    A story of when light meets shadows, and connection forces healing. Gwyn finds her voice, and Azriel finds himself listening. Healing is never quiet, but love can be. Will the Shadowsinger finally open his eyes? Or will he continue chasing what he can't have?

    Be prepared for real yearning, angst, smut, and of course, a slow-burning romance. P.S. I do support all three Archerons, so there will be no serious Elain or Nesta slander. Girls support girls here.

    Summary

    The bond flares to life in her chest—sharp, bright, Cassian—and Nesta’s entire body goes rigid even as she forces herself to reveal nothing.

    Cassian lands first, Azriel following close behind. They’re both in their leathers, both clearly having come straight from Windhaven. Cassian’s face breaks into a grin when he sees her, sees the gathering, and something about that unguarded joy makes her throat close up.

    “Well, isn’t this nice,” he says, striding inside with that easy confidence she used to find thrilling. “A family gathering and nobody told me?”

    He crosses to where Nesta stands with Nyx, and before she can brace herself, he’s there, solid and warm and overwhelming. His hand comes to rest on the small of her back, familiar and possessive, and he presses a kiss to her temple that she feels like a brand.

    “Hey, sweetheart,” he murmurs against her hair. “Miss me?”

    —————

    Months after Bryce Quinlan returned to Midgard, Nesta barely recognizes herself anymore. She can't wrap her mind around the concept of forever when she never asked to be immortal in the first place.

    When Nesta finally breaks, Cassian is forced to confront every way he's failed her.

    Ever since Bryce Quinlan left her world three months ago, Nesta Archeron has been struggling with something the quirky female had told her. Her curiosities are beginning to get the better of her, nagging at her soul relentlessly as she finds herself wanting to go back to the Prison Island, despite all the warnings from her friend Azriel, and their High Lord, Rhysand. While their warnings are valid, she knows down to her bones that her business there is not done. Will she be able to resist the call of the wind and the stone, or will she buckle and end up in the fangs of monsters once more?

    Summary

    The HOFAS spelunking escapades are to remain STRICTLY confidential; NOBODY outside of the Inner Circle is to know even the smallest detail. The High Lord did not mince words.

    Sure thing, Rhys. Whatever you say.

    Summary

    Lucien Vanserra has finally had enough. With no place to call his own and a mate who seems to ignore his very existence, he decides to follow Bryce into her own world and make a life for himself in the bustling city of Lunathion.

    I fled to the city with so much discounted
    Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
    Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted

    Summary

    After the events of HOFAS, weeks of silence and overtraining have left Nesta teetering on the edge. Cassian thought she was fine, giving himself time to cool off from her reckless actions. Now he must face the truth: his anger and distance may have cost her far more than he realised.

    Summary

    Nesta hasn’t heard the sound of a voice—familiar or otherwise—in five days. Not since Cassian slammed the balcony doors behind him on his way out after a particularly nasty argument, wingbeats like thunder retreating into the clouds.

    It seems that all she can do these days is anger the ones around her.

    She hasn’t left the House of Wind in two weeks. She hasn’t been allowed to. Not since Rhysand told her, voice black with rage, “If it wasn’t for Feyre, if you weren’t my brother’s mate, I would have had you executed for what you did.”

    Not since Amren said she belonged in one of the cells beneath the Court of Nightmares, because, “Some monsters don’t stay tamed, no matter how hard you try to civilize them.”

    Not since Mor stared at her and said to her cousin, “I don’t know why you’re surprised, Rhys. You’ve always known she’s reckless and useless in equal measure. She never did become one of us.”

    Not since Cassian stood in that same room and stayed silent.

    _____

    Even after the Mask is safely returned by Bryce, Nesta is confined to the House of Wind. Deciding enough is enough, she makes plans to sever something that was supposed to be her sacred forever.

    Summary

    In the end, she had been given one semi-normal Solstice. One where, while still feeling more than a little outcast, she had been embraced by enough of these people to feel something other than abject despair or disdain for the fae holiday.

    Naturally, she’d ruined all of that just in time for the next one.

    Semi-good graces one year, back on the periphery the next.

    Such was the price for saving the universe.

    Nursing a warm cup of mulled wine, she observed the rituals of the day in solemn silence.
    ---
    In which Solstice is a time to be grateful for those we love, and in the aftermath of Bryce Quinlan wreaking havoc in their world, some holiday magic just might be what is needed to heal the wounds left behind.

    Summary

    Gwyn and her moody teenage daughter move to Velaris to find someone to teach her how to fly.
    Spoiler Alert: Azriel obviously takes the job!
    ___________________

    “Are you ready to see your new room?”

    Juno answered with a dramatic eye roll and folded her arms in a huff. She turned to walk into their new apartment, nearly hitting Gwyn with her leathery wings as she did.

    Why hadn’t anyone told Gwyn how awful she’d feel as a mother when her daughter became a teenager? Everything she did was wrong, uncool, or embarrassing. Although maybe Juno had the right to be upset with her this time.

    Summary

    Nesta Archeron has run out patience. Fed up of having the same fights and never seeming to win, she accepts a job offer from none other than her former betrothed. The chance to get away puts her at odds with her mate, but she can't resist the opportunity—for herself and her Valkyries.

    Eris Vanserra has run out of time. After centuries of dodging betrothals, and finally moving past the one that got away, Eris is forced to travel to Bharat to secure another—this time to the youngest daughter of their warrior-Empress. To do so, he hires Nesta Archeron and her Valkyries to be his personal bodyguards.

    Over the course of their month-long trip away to the desert-nation, Nesta and Eris' uneasy alliance develops into genuine friendship, and they realise they have far more in common than initially thought.
