Introducing
FOR CENTURIES, a curse has plagued the isolated island of Asteria. Men, on the cusp of adulthood, are blessed, disappearing from the human realms. Every nine years, the witch queens host a competition in which human women vie for a blessed mate. Since its inception, the Courting has appeased the threads of fate, but, this time it just may lead to their unravelling.
The Year of the Phoenix
As the new moon rises, we find ourselves forced into action. The cycle of time pushes us forward. For most, the open door of familiarity, with its welcome mat worn thin, will be their future stagnation. For others, a step into the unknown holds the potential for hope and change, positive in its intention but not inherent in its outcome. From death, a new life begins. Choice arises, and you must make a move.
A woman in search of her long lost love…
Maggie knew she would compete from the moment her first love disappeared before her eyes. Now, she will disobey her family and pledge herself to the queens to find him again. But the game is not what it seems and the competition may take more from her than she bargained for.
An outsider with a mission of his own…
After preparing for years, Luca poses as one of the blessed to pursue his own objective. What he hadn’t planned for was meeting a woman worth courting. Can he keep his secrets while wanting to share his heart?
A witch forced to play a role…
All Boudi wants is to hone her growing power and finish her higher studies. As an orphan, she has no say when she is forced to play a deceptive pawn. Yet when her heart unsuspectedly becomes entangled with one of the blessed, her role in the game begins to blur.
A man with no past…
With no memory since his blessing, Cae returns to find his true mate. This is not a game to him, but rather his destiny. His path is splintered when he falls for a woman who’s not who she seems.

I genuinely hated having to put this book down to work or sleep, and I hated it even more when I reached the end and realized I now have to wait for more!
