  Reign of Bone and Steel

  By Gwynn White & Erin St Pierre

  A murdered Soul-Reaper. A stolen Weapon. No one can be trusted.

  Lieutenant Caeda Aerith is a fearsome Fae warrior, and that is all she ever wanted to be. But when the Soul-Reaper of the Kingdom of Yatres is murdered and her deadly weapon stolen, Caeda is chosen as the new Reaper. It’s left to her and the charming, but dangerous heir to the throne, Lord Dominik Dakar, to find the weapon before it is used to destroy them. The only problem is, Dominik is her number one suspect.

  Somewhere in a court of webs and lies hides the truth that will save or destroy them all—and it is up to Caeda to find it. When all the clues point to Dominik, Caeda must ignore her growing feelings for him to bring him to justice. But if she's wrong, the true perpetrators may have more than enough time to use the weapon for its true purpose: turning the world into nothing but bone and ash…

  Reign of Bone and Steel is a mysterious dark fantasy simmering with forbidden romance. If you like nail-biting whodunits, beautiful and brutal fae worlds, and explosive chemistry, then you'll love Gwynn White and Erin St. Pierre's dark world.

  Urban fantasy. Galactic consequences.

  Everything is going so well—up until her father, the mages’ high king, betroths her to one of his allies. But playing nice with otherworldly ambassadors isn’t the only thing on Terra’s plate. A renegade mage scientist has taken up shop on Earth, whose inhabitants have no knowledge of magic or the worlds beyond.

  With his forbidden experiments threatening to pierce the Veil of Secrecy on Earth, Terra can’t tackle this challenge alone.

Vengeance is left with only one hope in his potentially immortal existence: the chance to avenge his innocent link.

  Twenty years later, a young engineer joins his crew, and he’s inextricably drawn to her. But the closer he tries to get to her, the harder she pushes him away.

After suffering at the hands of rogue AIs, she should be wary of trusting one again, even her old friend. And yet, she can’t seem to stay away from him.
