The Fairie Queen of Thomond

Blurb:

A fae queen running from her past. Steam-era London’s supernatural world in danger. Is she the key to their salvation or destruction?

Andromeda Jones has spent centuries flitting from place to place looking for peace after Ireland forgot the old ways and their fae protectors. Haunted by the death of her lover and longing to forget, she’s hiding out in the unexplored wilds of Africa when everything she has carefully built and the peace she’d thought she’d built come crumbling down with one stranger’s visit.

Thrust into a world of steam powered inventions, supernaturals, and danger, she reluctantly chooses a side and must find a way to ensure she is the key to the salvation of her new world rather than its destruction. With the help of an ancient being, an inventor, a spymaster, and a man with a connection to her past life that he won’t share, she finds herself in a fight not only for her life but for her very world’s salvation.

If you like Celtic and Norse lore, intrigue, and fantasy, you’ll enjoy this rich adventure set in steam-era London where ancient lore and steampunk collide with fantasy in a fresh new twist.

Buy today to unearth the secrets and intrigues brewing in the underground of an Industrial Age London where vampires, psychics, and faeries really do exist.

What Readers are Saying

There was a twist on the Jack the Ripper murders in the Whitechapel district. There’s a clash of violence between vampires, Fae, and Ancients. There is some moderately graphic scenes of violence (one involving a child), and mildly graphic scenes of sexual assault and foreplay. No on page sex, and no profanity. The author brings the story to a satisfying conclusion and sets up for the next one.

Set aside two days for this NC17 Victorian steampunk clash between good and evil set mostly near 1898 London and involving unresolved grief and a possible attack on the Queen.

On Twilight’s Wings

Blurb:

A decades-old struggle for power. A kingdom suffering under a tyrant’s rule. One girl who is the key to salvation or damnation.

Cat is at the heart of a struggle for power that’s been going on for decades. She just doesn’t know it yet. She’s always suspected she was different, but when she starts having strange visions and blackouts accompanied by horrible pain and unexplainable injuries, she begins to think she’s really losing it like the doctors say. Until the new guy in town starts showing up in her visions and the new powers–powers that he can see–manifest. Then she knows they’re returning memories, not hallucinations, and she begins to realize she has a past she doesn’t remember, a past that took place on another world entirely.

She’s determined to figure out what’s going on, but the more she sees in her visions, the less certain she is that she wants answers. She’s at the edge of a new world of secrets, lies, and magic, and her own future depends on her next move. After she’s dragged back to her home world and caught in the middle of a feud between the man she loves and a man she once loved a lifetime ago, she must discover who she was, who she is, and why she is so important to her captor before his plans to use her as a pawn hand him the keys to a kingdom. Can she find her place and herself before it is too late? Can she save the man she loves and the kingdom she is coming to consider her home, or will she be their damnation as his pawn in this deadly game?

On Twilight’s Wings is a NA portal sword and sorcery novel brimming with courtly intrigue, dangerous secrets, and magic as one scrappy heroine faces the struggle to find love and her place in a world that’s unlike anything she’s known.

Buy today to discover one young woman’s quest to find herself in a web of magic and lies before it’s too late to save herself or her world.

What Readers are Saying

A coming of age fantasy novel with a great adventure. Cat is a wonderfully written character and there are some great world building skills in this book. The plot is unique and adventurous. An exciting book and a great new fantasy world.

Twists and turns abound herein. The main character is a strong female that seems to be a whack job to everyone she meets until…? I give away nothing… No spoilers. Once she realizes she’s not insane, she must learn to trust, to not dwell on the past, and most of all be strong. This book has magic, betrayal, angels, and evil. Awaiting book two.

This romantic fantasy is page-turning with exceptional characters and world-building that is realistic. Their journey is enthralling with a mature, NA portal sword and sorcery novel brimming with courtly intrigue, dangerous secrets, and magic as one scrappy heroine faces the struggle to find love and her place in a world that’s unlike anything she’s known. There is dark fantasy, a strong female lead, supernatural creatures, psychopathic villain, alternate world fantasy, foster child, new adult and college fantasy, portal fantasy, adventure, and more. There are also some triggers in this book that could be triggering. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her reader’s hearts and attention with On Twilight’s Wings.

I appreciate how the author addresses the aftermath of abuse. The past is merely alluded to and the focus is instead on the healing process. Without giving away anything, there are various conversations about this throughout. As someone who has experienced trauma (and working towards managing said aftermath), I was pleased about how this was handled by the characters.
Surviving is not the same as living.
‘You cannot stand on the brink forever. Either you will step out and soar, or you will back away never to know the freedom of the sky at all.’

Another topic of note is that of fate. Do we need to chain ourselves to it as if it were a responsibility? If so, where is free choice?

Fave quote:
‘Sometimes hope was all that sustained people through the harsh realities of life.’

What Readers are Saying

Leap of Faith:
A little taste of the series.
This was a basic introduction. I thought it could be historical fiction for various timelines or even fantasy.

Rith’s Disciple:
Teachers can only teach when students are willing to learn
The author has some sage advice:
Be careful what you say because ‘lies are always unearthed eventually.’
And that last line…OH!

Enil’s Chosen:
From Fairy Tale to Mythology
My blood pressure kept going up as I read the first chapter (a dark and stormy night). The beginning was quite different from the traditional ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and it was more streamlined due to far fewer characters.
The author portrayed Ashurina as strong but not overwhelming, smart but not a know-it-all.

Revelar’s Queen:
Feeling like a lone wolf in a pack
There’s something to be said about traditional roles in a relationship. The sexual revolution in dating these past few decades doesn’t seem to make women any happier than when celibacy was in fashion.
Very glad to read that Aisling stands up for respect – that is always a must! Their courtship dance is much more realistic than in many other tales of fated mates.


The author provides a Pronunciation Guide at the end – don’t miss it!

I really enjoy the way Ariel Paiement writes, it’s always well written and does what I hoped for. This was a great collection of stories in the same universe. It had great characters and everything that I wanted.
