The shadows of the Riven Court walk among them, and their very presence puts the entire kingdom in danger. But for Etta, there is a vengeance more personal to pay.If she can just take her place as marshal, she'll gain the standing required to steal back what's hers.

His name is Gideon Alexander.Within the Hollow HeartNickolas Brigham was meant to marry a princess. Everyone said so. His mother, mostly, but it wasn't the time to quibble.If he doesn't marry a woman of station soon, he'll be tied to a fate worse than ruination. When he's dragged bodily into a compromising situation, his only choice is to accept the aid of the doe-eyed damsel he chances upon in his attempt at escape.But Jules is no meek maiden. She's clever and quick, and has terms of her own: Nickolas must vow to break her curse before the fae prince comes to collect his due. Yes, only that, and the minor feat of fooling the kingdom by faking their betrothal.Upon the Riven ThroneIt is a truth universally acknowledged that a cursed prince must be in want of a wife... to break his curse. But when a princess on the run bargains her way into his palace, he discovers he's not the only one who guards a secret.Princess Mireille is in trouble. Her kingdom is under siege by a cruel and powerful fae, and Mireille's only chance to save it lies beyond the filigree wall, in the kingdom of another fae. The prince of Rivenwilde vows to protect her and their deal is struck, but the bargain only buys Mireille one month. At the turn of the moon, she must become his bride or his prisoner.Prince Alder is prickly at best. Between dark and ancient secrets, meddling palace staff, and vicious fae courtiers, a princess would be hard-pressed to win him over. But he wants nothing more than to break the curse that binds him, and Mireille might be the only way to see it done. Melissa is the author of more than a dozen YA and fantasy novels including The Frey Saga and Between Ink and Shadows. When not writing she can generally be found talking with an author friend about a book, painting something from a book, or tucked between headphones listening to a book. It's kind of a theme. She loves reasonable heroines in unreasonable situations, noble--if brooding--heroes, slow burn and sweet kisses, a lot of havoc, and a little magic.
