The Never Heir (Otherworlds #1)
Published May 16, 2023
Charlie “Tootles” Tulane risked everything to break the spell binding the lost boys to Pan and escape Neverland. Now seventeen and living in 1923 London, Charlie’s freedom from the land of Faerie has never felt better, but even the noblest of actions have consequences. Neverland demands a leader, and without one, chaos spills into the mortal world.
​
Spending his nights as an amateur boxer, Charlie meets the “Bright Young Things” of London’s upper class. Part of that group is Evie, a girl whose ravings about mermaids abducting her sister got her sent to an asylum. Now that she’s “cured” and back among polite society, Evie’s under strict orders not to embarrass her mother and to attract a suitable match. But that proves difficult when her friend and confidant from Faerie turns demanding and sinister, forcing her into a deal she can’t refuse: In exchange for locating Pan’s lost relics of power, the Fae will return the one thing Evie wants most.
When Charlie learns his past betrayals set off a chain reaction resulting in the abduction of Evie’s sister, the two must return to the place of Charlie's nightmares in an attempt to set things right. But this time, the price for rectitude might prove too steep for either one of them to pay.
The Game of Hearts (Otherwords #2)
Published February 23, 2024
When Alice Liddell runs away on the night of her engagement party and stumbles into a shadowy pub on a forgotten street, she thinks her life is ruined. Her parents are furious, her reputation is destroyed, and her fall from society will be printed in all of London’s gossip columns. Then a mysterious stranger gives her an unexpected solution to all of her problems: A yearly game inviting mortals into the land of Faerie to play the queen’s infamous Game of Hearts. To win is to gain a wish of your heart but to lose means sacrificing your freedom.
Alice quickly realizes the game is far more intricate and deadly than she was led to believe and teams up with the rebellious and irreverent cat-shifter Ches. Together they must outwit the other players by solving the obscure riddles given as clues and get out of the queen’s enchanted hedge maze unscathed. It also means staying far away from Maddox, the queen’s champion player and Alice’s fiercest competition. He’s determined to win at all costs, but Alice suspects his motives may not be his own.
The deeper Alice goes inside the world of cunning fae, bloodthirsty beasts, and vengeful queens, the more she fears that winning means betraying those closest to her. And in this Game of Hearts, Alice needs to guard hers.
This 1920's Alice in Wonderland reimagining is the second book in the Otherworlds Trilogy and is perfect for fans of fairytale retellings with dark twists, atmospheric settings, and slow burn romance that's swoony, not spicy.
The Emerald Alliance (Otherworlds #3)
A heartless boy. A timid girl. And an exiled fae who will do anything to go home.
It’s been two years since Queen Verena exiled Thea to 1923 Chicago. As a fae living in the city, Thea tries to forget her past and blend in, but she’s plagued by thoughts of Faerie, her failed attempt at rebellion, and everyone she left behind.
When tragic news from the Winterland reaches Thea, she's determined to find a way home. Even if it means striking a deal with a notorious fae who rules the criminal world and teaming up with two mortals she barely knows. There’s Alice, who holds the key to changing the fate of the Winterland, but her heart is divided between saving the kingdom and saving the boy she loves. Then there’s Edmund, who provokes Thea as much as he protects her. He has his own reasons for returning to Faerie, and Thea isn’t certain if Edmund is an enemy or an ally.
They say there’s no place like home, but home has changed since Thea was last there. New rulers, new alliances, and new dangers lurk around every corner. When their mission goes terribly wrong, a desperate bargain is made, and Thea and Edmund are forced to navigate the unfamiliar Emerald Kingdom alone. And with more than just her heart on the line, Thea worries that saving Faerie will cost more than she’s willing to give.
The Emerald Alliance is the thrilling conclusion to the Otherworlds Trilogy and is perfect for fans of atmospheric settings, fairytale retellings with dark twists, and slow burn romance that's swoony, not spicy.
