Princess Coriandra has no magic in a royal family defined by it, no claim to the throne, and no illusions about either.She has spent years quietly holding Venik together while her warlock father gambles, her magically gifted sisters chase power, and the kingdom rots beneath its jewels.But when King Doldus's debts finally come due, he divides the realm between Cori's ambitious sisters and sends her across the sea as payment for the money needed to save what remains.Disowned, powerless, and bound for an unwanted marriage, Cori must survive pirates, political betrayal, and the dangerous truth of her own forgotten past — before the kingdom that cast her out tears itself apart.Perfect for readers who love sharp-witted heroines, court intrigue, family betrayal, sea voyages, pirates, and fantasy worlds where crowns are never the same thing as power.

Midlife magic. A missing prince. One woman's second chance—if she's brave enough to take it.When sixty-year-old self-help author Olivia Furie discovered she's the Fire Crone, her midlife reboot took a scorching turn.Still reeling from widowhood and financial ruin, Olivia sought refuge in the hidden magical village of Rowanswood.But as she began to forge a new life—complete with a grumpy cat familiar, a fashion-obsessed house piskie, and the other elemental Crones who guard our world—her fire magic starts to fail her.Worse, the High Fae prince who once protected her is missing. Olivia must venture into the dangerous fae realm to rescue the prince and his sister—and confront the terrifying possibility that her power is gone for good.With enemies on all sides, allies who don't trust her, and a slow-burning attraction she can't afford to indulge, Olivia must reclaim her fire before everything she's rebuilt goes up in flames.Witty, warm, and laced with wonder, Crone of Flames is a cozy portal fantasy of midlife magic, found family, and magical realms where older women wield extraordinary power.
