About Bound By Knighthood
An academy in the sky,
Two rival knights-to-be,
And the cursed princess who could destroy them all.
Willow is a fae born with a weak and muddled magic. In a world where magic can be bought…for the right price, she attends the Academy of the Gilded Knights. Her goal: to swear her service to a high fae in return for powerful magic.
There is only one person standing in the way of her success, Byron Coalbiter, her childhood rival.
A blacksmith’s son born with a magic far more powerful than her own, Byron has always lived a seemingly charmed life. But apparently that isn’t enough, because now he’s looking to steal Willow’s knighthood.
However, there is something sinister taking place at the academy, and the princess they both rescued might be far more than a damsel in distress. She could very well be their undoing.
If Willow and Byron want to save their precious academy then they are going to have to put aside their rivalry, move past the strange attraction that they feel toward each other, and learn to work together before they both lose their dreams.
Because a dark magic threatens the academy and Willow and Byron might be the only ones capable of keeping the school from crumbling…right out of the sky.
Bound By Knighthood is the eighth book in the Starry Kingdoms of the Fae Collection. Prepare to be swept away into a magical world of knights, fae, and swoon-worthy romance.
About To Slay a Knight Boldly
A Skilled Warden
A Steadfast paladin
And The Fake Relationship That Could Destroy Them Both
All her life, Willow dreamed of being a knight, but when she is offered her first quest as a member of the Wardens, she begins to wonder if the sacrifices she made along the way were truly worth it. Because this knew quest brings her face to face with Byron Coalbiter, her bitter ex-lover, and the man she gave up to become a knight.
Losing Willow drove Byron to join the Hallowed Order of Knights. He gladly swore a vow of celibacy for greater power, but it seems that fate has cruel designs because now he finds himself having to work with the very woman who ripped his heart out years ago.
Something dark lurks within the mysterious Templar order. It is their mission to infiltrate it by taking advantage of the Templar Knight Commander’s invitation to couples across the land. Unfortunately, in order to enter the Templar’s Hall of Brotherhood, something no outsider has done before, they will have to pretend to be desperately in love with each other. If they fail, they could find themselves the subject of a dark ritual. Of course, that’s assuming that they don’t either kill each other or fall victim to the flame of the forbidden attraction still fostered between them.
The fate of the land hangs in the balance, at the mercy of two broken-hearted knights. It might just take a miracle for them to succeed.
Too bad that miracles are in short supply, these days.
To Slay a Knight Boldly is an epic new standalone set in a magical world of knights, fae, and swoon-worthy forbidden romance. This twisty adventure is perfect for fans of Jordan Rivet, Sarah K. L. Wilson, and Shari L Tapscott.
