The Unspoken Series

A Crown of Rust

A Crown of Rust - Dark Fantasy Romance Book Cover
She was raised to be a silent ornament. She chose to become a fugitive.

Elowin Vane has spent twenty-five years in a gilded cage, waiting to be sold. But when the buyer turns out to be the Cinder Lord, a tyrant of smoke and nightmares, Elowin refuses to be a monster’s pet. She flees into the wilds, only to collide with Thorne and Garrick.

Mercenaries bonded by a brotherhood deeper than blood, they are determined to stand between her and the darkness hunting her. Thorne is the storm: dark, arrogant, and devastatingly charming. Garrick is the mountain: a golden-haired giant of quiet, protective strength.

The spark between them ignites an inferno. And when the fated tether between their souls snaps into place, the men make one thing dangerously clear: They don't want to fight over her. They want to share her.

But Elowin’s freedom comes with a price. A volatile, lethal magic surges through her veins, and a dark echo connects her mind to the Cinder Lord, allowing him to hunt her through the shadows.

Desperate to shield her mates from the target on her back, Elowin tries to deny the bond. But the Cinder Lord doesn't want to share. He wants to own her soul.

Now, Elowin faces a choice: surrender to the two men who set her body on fire, or burn the world down to escape the one who demands her submission.


A Crown of Rust is the scorching first installment in The Unspoken Series.

A Crown of Wood and Ashes

A Crown of Wood and Ashes - Spicy Fantasy Book Cover
She ran from a monster, only to be caught by his deadliest enemies.

Elowin Vane is a Sol-Aethrin, wielder of a rare magic that bends the Seven Flows to her will. But to her father, she was just currency - sold to the Cinder Lord, a tyrant of ash and bone who hungers for her power as much as her flesh.

She fled the wedding altar for the untamed wilds, hoping to vanish. Instead, she was hunted down.

The Storm and the Mountain. Thorne and Garrick are myths of the East, warriors of legend, and her family’s sworn enemies. They should have put her in chains. Instead, they put her in their bed.

In their arms, Elowin finds a sanctuary of silk and steel. They protect her, worship her, and share her, lighting a passion hot enough to sear away her fear. But one cannot run from destiny, especially when it is forged in blood.

A golden tether binds her soul to the very monster she escaped. Vorian Kael isn’t just hunting her; he is haunting her. He stalks her dreams and pulls at the bond, claiming a part of her she never gave away.


Now, Elowin is torn between the two warriors who hold her heart and the tyrant who holds her fate.

A Crown of Ice and Stone

A Crown of Ice and Stone - Enemies to Lovers Fantasy Book Cover
She ran from her destiny to survive. Now, she must fight to reclaim it.

Elowin has returned to the viper’s nest of Ironhold, no longer the terrified girl who fled in the dead of night. She has walked through fire, mastered the storm, and found a home in the arms of Lord Vorian Kael, the man who holds her soul. But claiming her birthright from the tyrant Malakor will require more than just magic; it requires a kingdom united.

But unity is the last thing she finds.

Elowin’s return has ignited a firestorm in Valdorian. Her former lovers, the powerful Lords Lysander and Darius, are determined to win her back, refusing to let her go a second time. Their obsession clashes violently with Vorian’s possessive claim, turning her war council into a battlefield. As jealousy flares and tempers shatter, the rivalry between her soulmate and her ex-lovers threatens to tear her forces apart, sparking a civil war before she can even face her true enemy.

With King Cassian of Il-Vara marching from the East and her father’s iron legacy tightening the noose, Elowin must navigate a deadly game of hearts and crowns. She needs all three men to unite for the coming storm, but their warring hearts might burn Ironhold and Valdorian to the ground first.

To rise as a warrior queen, Elowin must tame the wolves at her door and make an unthinkable sacrifice - one that could shatter her alliances and break her own heart.


Perfect for fans of high-stakes political intrigue, complex love squares, and "touch her and die" energy.
