The shoe fits, but she's no Cinderella.Ellie knows what she wants in life:Open a glassblowing shop in the art district.See her father retire.Marry for love. (If she can find someone who can keep up, that is).Winning the fae prince's heart doesn't make the list.So when Prince Evander throws a ball to find a human bride, Ellie respectfully declines. And when she reads the morning paper and discovers the prince danced the night away with a mysterious stranger, only for the woman to flee at the stroke of midnight, Ellie can't help but laugh.Until she learns the mystery girl left behind a glass slipper.Ellie's glass slipper. From the set that went missing from Ellie's workshop.So when the idiotic prince decides it's a good idea to use the slipper to identify the love of his life (because, you know, no two women could possibly share the same shoe size), Ellie doesn't hesitate to prove the slipper is hers.Little does she know there's been a modification to her work of art. The prince may or may not have attached a fae bargain to the shoe, and when Ellie places it on her foot, she finds herself both legally and magically betrothed to the very prince she detests.Not that Prince Evander is thrilled about the situation, either. After all, he'd thought the shoe would only fit Cinderella.Together, the unhappy couple must discover a way to break the fae bond, but there's danger along the way.And what's more dangerous than falling in love with someone whose heart belongs to another?Hilarious and filled with witty banter, this not-so-retelling of Cinderella takes a fresh spin on the classic tale, pairing the dangerous politics of Alondria with the swoon-worthy chemistry of a romantic comedy. A Bond of Broken Glass is the third in a series of interconnected standalones, but you just might recognize a few faces along the way.

She's a wanted criminal, but he doesn't have to know that.Piper's job is simple. Take the children.Don't get caught.The rules she binds on herself; however... Well, they're a tad more complicated.Kidnapped as a child for her connection with the Old Magic-the one that grants her the ability to enchant others with her music-Piper knows good and well the rules of the Coup, the underground organization intent on bringing down the fae regime. As the Coup's first "recruiter," she's supposed to take the strong, the good-boned, the clever, the healthy. Except Piper doesn't always do what she's supposed to.Instead, she makes a few rules of her own.Like how she only takes the children who need taking-the children who suffer harm and neglect in their current homes, the ones who come with her willingly.The children for whom a life bound in service to the Coup would be a mercy.But when a deadly oversight leaves Piper injured, stranded in the forest, and unable to protect the no-nonsense child to whom she's promised a better life, she's left with no other choice. She strikes a bargain with a handsome archer whose aim is almost as deadly as his past.Oh, but there's another rule too.Don't fall in love.Especially not with a human who has no idea who Piper really is.Fast-paced and action-packed, this second installment in The Severed Realms series transports the reader across Alondria to Avelea, a kingdom full of wicked forest faeries, underground rebellions, and a king with a secret of his own.A Tune to Make Them Follow is the second book in a series of interconnected fairytale retellings. This book can serve as a standalone, or as an entry point into the series.
