Update on Arakzeon City Series
Nov 16, 2024 2:51 pm
Hello Happy Readers!
I have news about my Arakzeon City Series today. I've just finished both book 2 & book 3 and they are in the editing process. So, for all of you who have read Magically Bound and are waiting to find out what happens next, I can't wait to present Rune Bound and Fate Bound to you in late December or January.
An interesting fact about this story is that the Arakzeon City was first written as a standalone with an unhappily ever after ending. But my readers didn't like that. You're all so romantic! Like me :) So, I had to adjust the ending, and now I have had the time to finish the story. The story continues with Princess Jelena (Marcus and Megan's daughter) and she is not one to yield... nor to obey her warrior master's orders.
Here is the blurb:
War put Jelena on the throne, but she doesn’t want to sit on it without first finding the cure for her father’s magical coma.
The warrior courts’ library could hold the spell she needs. Desperate for answers, she must infiltrate the warrior courts' vast library, but the price of entry is steep—she must enrol as a fae warrior. There are several reasons she shouldn’t become an asset of any of the four guilds of the courts. One being the chastity oath, another being Fae Warrior Master Dylan, but an even deeper secret that the royal family has kept from the court could surface. Jelena is a power mage, able to draw powerful runes, and if the courts found that out, her service in the mage guild would be mandatory.
An even bigger problem surfaces when the guild she had chosen to join is overenrolled and she is transferred to the Wolfsbane Court which, after graduation, undertake dangerous missions to fight demons beyond the city walls.
Demons attack the city in search of something and end up kidnapping her best friend. When they announce their demands in exchange of her freedom, Master Dylan refuses to accept. Jelena doesn’t believe the court is doing enough to send rescue missions beyond the wall to save her friend, so she must leave the court and gather her own royal army. But on her way out from the court, she encounters someone who doesn’t want her to leave. Conflicted, she no longer knows what path to take.
I think this pole has inspired my story somewhat! Yes, there is lashing!
Until next time,
Therese
THERESE'S READING RECOMMENDATIONS
Vampires captured me, but it’s the prisoner beside me who captures my soul.
Getting abducted by vampires was definitely not on my winter vacation checklist. Yet here I am, a living, breathing sacrifice in a snowbound castle, with fangs hovering a little too close for comfort.
But in the gloom, I meet a man with a sharp mind that questions everything and a voice that could melt even the iciest defenses. There’s an irresistible, magnetic pull to him, daring me to let my guard slip.
Our conversations are a dance of intellect and wit, wisdom and shadow, unraveling my very soul. Before I know it, I’m no longer just a human sacrifice. I’m his—alive, but owned.
Caught between desire and survival, I sink deeper into his hold. My heartbeat thunders, part warning, part invitation to join the one I know I shouldn’t trust.
Can I resist the allure of his immortal love, or will it consume every last piece of my fragile humanity?
Comin’ back to Sotirìa was a mistake that might cost me everything I love. Because someone knows my secrets and is manipulating me into sabotaging the Paldimori. The ice princess training me is the last person I should trust to help me out of my predicament, but maybe she needs me as much as I need her.
The feud makes her off-limits. Fate makes her my mate.
Injured, alone, left for dead.
Pain and blood loss cloud my senses until soft hands mend my wounds.
This is no mere good Samaritan; she is the daughter of the Riley pack Alpha.
My sworn enemy.
But this rare woman awakens my soul as no other.
Our passion ignites with only a touch and consumes us as we burn for each other.
We meet in secret to love, bond, and vow to find a way to be together.
Exposed and now our families are on the brink of an all-out bloody war.
The only choice is to stand up and fight--for each other, for our people, and for the peace we both crave.
I will forge a new destiny if it's the last thing I do.
Now, to save humanity and protect her friends, Avery must learn to control her potent magic, all while building an alliance with the warrior vampire sent to seize her. Their destinies are more entwined than either could have ever foreseen. But despite the magic that binds their paths and the enigmatic attraction growing between them, Avery struggles to trust the man born to be her enemy.
However, Kane’s not the only vampire thirsting for the honeyed taste of Avery’s blood...someone else also seeks to wage a war against her heart.
In the end, Avery must not only grapple with the painful truth behind her family’s past, but she’ll need to accept the journey laid out before her. For not only do the lives of those she loves depend on it, but so do the lives of every mortal and immortal creature alike.
As passion tangles with destiny, I must choose:
Cling to the past I’ve waited a decade to claim or embrace the future with the woman who makes me believe in love again.
I don’t even know that my desire for the gorgeous fae who rescued me is forbidden and my people are now hunted down by his.
And I have no idea how to control the magic that had been taken from me while I was locked away.
But he says rescued me to help his cause, and I fear that’s more important to him than I am.
After all, he didn’t even tell me he was a prince or that his mom, the Queen, would kill me if she finds out who I am.
And now I need to survive meeting his parents as his fake fiancée.
While the destiny of her kingdom rests on Celeste’s shoulders, she must also face the threat of madness, a fate which could befall her if her fae powers do not manifest. And to make things worse, the prince’s brooding half-brother carries a hatred for her she can’t understand.
As Celeste unravels the mysteries hidden within Hedera, she must navigate a treacherous path to protect her kingdom and uncover the truth hidden within her own bloodline.
Bound to a stranger by the cold chains of an arranged marriage, I brace myself for a life devoid of love.
Yet, in the shadowed corridors of our shared home, an unexpected warmth blossoms between us.
But a terrifying secret lurks—a beast roams the halls, its presence a constant source of fear.
Lord Blackwood’s promise to protect me is tinged with sadness, echoing my own doubts.
Can the promise made by a man harboring a monstrous secret protect us from the looming tragedy, or will it be the very thing that tears us apart?
How am I supposed to keep my broken magic hidden from these men, especially when they’re so protective and attentive, never taking their eyes off of me? At any moment I could slip up and show my magic for what it is: erratic and unstable. But I must keep my power in check or I’ll risk the wrath of my family when the secret is revealed.
The only option I have is to outsmart a fae at her own game. Here’s hoping those years strategizing as a dungeon master pay off.
I wouldn’t consider myself extraordinary.
That is until my thirtieth birthday when a world I didn't know existed is revealed in a dream. A world where I discover I'm a dragon and the next queen of Arcadia.
Me, Cordelia Drake, a soap maker? A queen?
Even worse, three men show up claiming I'm the key to saving our realm. A realm that is protected by the balance of a mate bond...with them.
Can I leave the world I know behind and save a place I've only seen in my dreams?

I no longer want to hide from a world that might accept me for who I have become.
But I have a little fetish of my own. And a second date with Tanya--breaking all her rules-means I might break mine, too.
Perhaps I'll opt for funishments over my usual pain.
Perhaps I'll make her mine.
The minute that they chose one another, neither could have dreamed of the possibility of what would come.
