Worlds collide when a dark queen's journey to break her curse forces her to take a human prisoner back to her realm. His brother will do anything to find out what happened, including infiltrating an exclusive nightclub where men seem to disappear.

A graphic with wrath of a Wildflower in the center. Bubbles of text around it say: Morally grey, urban fantasy, cursed dark queen, two realms, dual pov, romance, missing brother, new adult

The pitch. Decades ago, the princes of Lucis realm cursed her before they left to take over earth. Liming the days she can cross realms to hunt them and forcing her to take a mortal soul each visit has made killing the princes difficult, but not impossible. Now she is finally closing in on the prince with the key to breaking her curse, but she doesn't know that one of the mortal monsters she took on her journey to vengeance has a very loyal brother. Ryland finally has the job he needs at greeds, the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen two years ago. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with the hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and monsters are real. And they are hunting one.

When cruelty is seen as patriotic, compassion is seen as treasonous.

A friends bookish wife just read my book in two days. She has 2 toddlers. That feels like the biggest compliment I could get?

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:

ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.

The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.

This is ridiculous.

JD Vance touches the Pope on Easter and he dies hours later? They will never outrun the anti-Christ theory

If you plan to read The Ever King, I super recommend reading the series that comes before it. Loved all of the books!

Can you help get the word out? Warren Davidson won't hold a town hall for all, but is holding one in a private church. So we're having one without him!

Let's fill these seats!

We tried to invite Warren Davidson to the Where’s Warren Town Hall. His contact form wouldn’t let us. His speaking request form wouldn’t let us. So we sent it by registered mail.
Will he show up? We will. Will you?

📅 April 22, 6–8 PM

Davidson said he sees a town hall as a “war.” So let’s talk about who he thinks he’s at war with, because it seems like it’s not lobbyists or billionaires. It’s… you.

Join us for the empty chair town hall on April 22, 6 - 8 PM
