All those years at the Arcane University, and Hettie still has no idea what's happening to her magic. All of a sudden she can't control it, and it's only getting worse. It starts with a clandestine interlude turning her lover into a chicken, and quickly devolves into accidental destruction of the potion shop where she's apprenticed. After spending the better part of the century as a hermit stuck in his more human form, Gylharen, the Golden Dragon of Death's Maw, is ready to venture into the world again. He is compelled to search for the woman who sold him a defunct thieves trap spell, only to find her out of control and brimming with chaos magic. When her magic overloads her system he sees only one solution - to spirit her away to his castle in the mountains. After all, he is the only one who can help her, if only he could help himself. What sort of dragon can't take its true shape?The two find themselves deeply entangled in each other, like there's something deep inside that draws them. They are kindred spirits, both damaged in their own ways. Together, they may just have to learn what it means to really live again.

Spiritbound is the story of Rose, servant of the god of the undertakers, and Spider, a temporarily flesh-deficient thief. When confronted with a ghost she can't just see but also touch, Rose has to decide if destroying her lonely, nomadic life to restore him to his body is worth the reward, and Spider has to consider whether he can justify keeping his new lover around, or if his secret will put her in danger.When Spider tells Rose he's not truly dead, she's skeptical at first, particularly since he claims his body is in the most dangerous mountain range in the kingdom. It would be a risk to take him there, and could be a trap. Until she has more answers she just can't say yes, and the spectral thief is not exactly being forthcoming. Yet Spider won't leave, and, unlike everyone else, seems completely unperturbed by her status as one of Cynyr's Children, more colloquially known as corpse talkers. Spider needs her, and he's willing to do just about anything to get her to help him, including serving the needs of her body.

Forced to work together to solve a mystery, dodge danger, and hunt down a monster, they come to question everything they thought they knew about each other.Star-Crossed is the second installment in a fantasy romance series featuring plus-size heroines and just a touch of divine magical intervention.
