Magic
comes with a price. If Cassia wants a happily
ever after in the Fae realm, she’ll have to join a brutal fight for a crown she
doesn’t even want.
Cassia is so close to the life she always wanted. A changeling who was always out of place in the human world, she is on her way to finding love, magic, and happiness with four Fae princes. The monster threat against her life has been contained. For now. But they are attracted to her power and her untrained magic, and it’s a race against time before they break through again.
And the monsters aren’t the
only ones trying to kill Cassia. The Queen’s Trial is approaching, and her
power makes her a target and a threat to the other noble houses vying to be
queen.
With her enemies piling up
and only Four Fae Princes on her side she’s running out of options. There's
only one rule in Queen's Trial: Survive.
Excerpt on tour:
"Cassia, it's daybreak," Ethan said gently.Groggily, I opened my eyes and blinked up at Ethan's handsome face. I greeted him with a sleepy smile and reached my fingers toward his cheek, brushing them against his skin. As confident as I had beenbefore I went to bed last night, I still wanted to make sure this was all real. I wanted to make sure thatEthan was still here, and that he was still mine. "Good morning."Ethan leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Breakfast is ready and soon it will be time to go.""She going to come? Or am I going to have to carry her down?"I turned toward the newcomer and couldn't help but smile at Dane's huge grin. "She's coming," I said,throwing the covers off of me. Though, part of me wasn't completely opposed to the idea of Danethrowing me over his shoulder. A vision flashed through my mind and I saw the world from upside downas Dane walked with me over his shoulder. It faded nearly as quickly as it had arrived, leaving me with asmile. "Can you imagine the look on Cormac's face if you came down to breakfast carrying me?""It would be pure jealousy," Dane said. "And worth every second." He charged me, ducking down toscoop me up and throw me over his shoulder, just as I had visualized.I squealed and giggled as Dane raced out of the room causing me to bob up and down on his muscledshoulder. "Dane, put me down, you beast!""Not until I see that look on Cormac's face," Dane said.From my vantage point, I had a very clear view of Dane's firm buttocks and I felt my cheeks heat at thememory of him without his clothes on. I looked up to see Ethan trailing behind us, laughing."I'm not healing you if Cormac decides to punch that grin off your face," Ethan said."It'll still be worth it," Dane said.I'd given up asking for him to put me down, I was laughing too hard to speak anymore anyway. Themood was lighter this morning now that the Sodalis were gone and everyone had a full night's sleep. Noone seemed all that bothered by the fact that we had to go see the Queen. And I wondered how muchof that was for my benefit and how much of it was because of their station.I tried not to think about how my father had reacted every time someone with higher rank than himcame by our house. He was a ball of stress, preparing and working round-the-clock to placate andimpress other human beings who had nothing on him other than a title. Yet, when those people werearound each other, there was no sense of fear or anxiety. My males were all royalty themselves. Andthough I didn't understand the way the Fae Court worked, I still knew they were high-ranking enoughthat going to see the Queen wasn't the same as someone like me going to see her.Dane took the stairs carefully down to Tristan's grand dining hall. I couldn't see what was in front of us,so I watched Ethan's face to get a sense of how Cormac was going to react to the three of us acting likechildren.Ethan pressed his lips together, trying to maintain some sense of decorum so I knew Cormac was in theroom."I brought you something," Dane said.I could only assume he was speaking to Cormac. Then, Dane burst out laughing and Ethan joined him."Just put her down," Cormac said."Now I understand how Faerie lost the Winter Court," Tristan said. "The second you think you'vedefeated your foes, you begin to celebrate.""Not all of us," Cormac said. "And we granted the Winter Court its succession; the Winter Court didn'tearn it."The mood in the room shifted. It felt like every speck of happiness had been sucked out.Dane set me down on the ground. "You know, the Winter Court could learn a lot from us. When you'rekind to females and make them laugh, you don't have to force them to come to you."

About
Dyan:
My story is probably similar
to a lot of other writers out there. As a kid, I was creative, imaginative, and
loved to write. I’d write scripts for plays and make my sisters act them out. I
got excited about the writing prompts for standardized tests in elementary
school. I started writing my first (unfinished) novel in 5th grade. Then
started another one in middle school. For a long time, I was a closet writer. I
didn’t tell anybody that I had a hard drive full of abandoned stories. After
years of not finishing anything, I finally took the plunge and started taking
writing, and myself as a writer, seriously. My first novel, Heir of Illaria,
published January 23, 2017. Book 2 is right around the corner. It’s gone from
closet hobby to full on addiction. Thankfully, I have a wonderfully supportive
husband who doesn’t look at me like I’m crazy when I talk about my characters
as if they’re real.
