About This Book
He’s the queen’s deadliest weapon. She might be his only weakness.
Living in a quiet human village, Emelin knows better than to use forbidden magic – but one mistake lands her in the hands of the legendary fae assassin known as the Silent Death. He’s beautiful. Brutal. Voiceless. And instead of killing her, he offers her a dangerous bargain.
To survive, she must join him at the Crimson Court, the glittering heart of fae power and cruelty – to play the part of his lover in a realm where humans are nothing but prey.
But Creon is not the monster she expected. He’s worse.
He always seems to know what she’s thinking. He shields her like it’s instinct. And when his burning gaze lingers on her lips, she forgets what side she’s supposed to be on.
As rebellion stirs beneath the court’s jewelled surface, Emelin finds herself drawn into a game of lies and secrets where every alliance is a risk and every touch could be her ruin. Creon may need her magic to bring down the queen … but if she lets herself trust him, it won’t be just her life on the line.
It will be her heart.
Court of Blood and Bindings is the first book in the completed Fae Isles series, an epic enemies to lovers romantasy featuring a morally grey fae executioner, the rebellious human he kidnaps, and their sizzling slow burn romance. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, the first book does contain spicy content intended for 18+ readers.

About This Book
They call him the Silent Death, because he kills without sound and leaves none capable of speaking in his wake…
When the empire’s deadliest fae murderer catches her wielding forbidden magic, twenty-year-old Emelin believes her hour has come. Instead, her inhumanly beautiful captor spares her life, but carries her off on his velvet wings into the one place from which no human ever returns:
The heart of the Fae Isles. The treacherous Crimson Court, where the Mother of faekind has ruled unchallenged over fae and humans for decades.
The Silent Death is supposed to be the Mother’s loyal servant, her invincible warrior, her ruthless, soulless killer. But in the shadows he is playing a game of his own, and he needs Emelin’s magic to win it.
If she agrees to work with him, she could free all of humanity. But can she trust a fae male with so much blood on his hands? Worse, when his smouldering dark eyes and dangerous secrets reveal glimpses of the heart behind his murderer’s mask…can she trust herself?
Court of Blood and Bindings is the first book of the Fae Isles series, an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance featuring a strong-willed heroine and a broody, morally grey hero. It contains a generous dose of smouldering glances, angry yearning, and midnight meetings of the illicit type, as well as other mature themes.
