Heir of Lilith

His enemy’s courtesan. Her only Chance of escape.

Book One: Phantom

A back-stabbing court

A connection written by destiny

Lord Silas Graveston's world is one of order, where honor ranks above all.

But when his family’s stolen necklace resurfaces at the throat of his enemy’s new courtesan, Natalya Slipshayde, his calm facade cracks.

The closer Silas gets to her, the more he questions which trophy he most desires to yank from his rival's grasp: the necklace or Natalya.

An Epic Romantic Fantasy Adventure

A SECRET ASSASSIN

As war threatens to return to Draykemire and tensions between the courtier and noble classes grow, nobleman-by-day assassin-by-night Lord Silas Graveston has a choice to make—Ignore the insult to his family strutting about the queen’s palace on the arm of his enemy or endanger his recent promotion as the public right-hand of his duke.

A CAPTIVE FAE

The provocation—a stolen emerald necklace—and the fae who wears it are both more than they appear. The necklace bears layered enchantments tantamount to a curse, and the fae cloaks herself in as many secrets as Silas himself.

Her name is Natalya Slipshayde, and she’s come to the court for a single purpose. Revenge.

A MISSING HEIR

Neither Silas nor Natalya realize that they’re tangled in forces far greater than treacherous courtly wiles and personal vendettas. There’s a battle for the future of Draykemire being waged behind the whispers of the court. And at the center of that battle, the search for a missing fae heir who’s the key to the future of both the kingdom and her world.

A kingdom on the brink of war

The kingdom of Draykemire used to be ruled by dragons. Their successors, the Orbaskiers, have been cursed by ill fortune and have rarely been at peace amongst themselves.

Queen Alsea has set aside her ancestors’ legacy thus far—she’s maintained peace for twenty years, but that fragile balance is breaking.

The old Orbaskier ambition is resettling around the throne. Once it takes hold, it will likely take the kingdom with it.
