About M. Lynn
I'm a USA Today Bestselling author of fantasy, contemporary romance, and romantic comedies. Fantasy was my first and forever love with the bestselling "Golden Curse". I love taking old stories and turning them around until they're almost unrecognizable except to the most avid fans. I write books to challenge myself, tackling hard topics or places so different from my own. Studying ancient cultures, architecture, and folklore is one of the best parts of being an author.
I've written more than seventy stories full of magic, love, and friendship, and at thirty-three, have no plans to ever stop.

Brea Robinson is a princess.
Ridiculous, right?
She’s left her small Ohio town behind for an exotic palace beyond her imagination, trading old jeans for ballgowns and a drunken father for two Fae mothers.
Safe behind the power of Eldur, it’s easy to forget everything that brought her here.
Like the two men who saved her that are now missing.
The abducted princess who should be roaming the palace halls instead of her.
The war coming for them all.
As Brea comes to terms with this new world and the web of secrets surrounding her, she realizes she stands on the brink of losing everything she never knew she wanted.
The mothers who would die for her.
The Fae who loves her.
And the people of her kingdom who trust her to save them.
Only, Brea can barely save herself. With uncontrollable magic warring within her, it’s only a matter of time before she lets everyone down.
When the worst happens and the person she loves most falls into the enemy's hands, she has a choice to make. And if she bows to the enemy queen’s demands, will she remain a princess or become a sacrifice instead?
Book two in the Queens of the Fae Series, click now to be transported into a world where magic can't always be controlled, kings fall, and betrayal is sometimes the biggest sacrifice of all.
Griffin O’Shea is trapped.
Again.
His prison sentence was supposed to end when the magic keeping the Dark Fae captive in Myrkur finally fell. But when King Egan’s army clashed with the armies of Iskalt and Fargelsi on the battlefield, there was no winner and no clear path forward.
Now the Dark Fae king is missing, vanished without a trace of the army at his back or the abducted child leading him to the prize he desires. The magic held in Aghadoon.
With no way to locate the forever moving village, Griffin can only set his sights on a more attainable goal—saving Eldur from the coming invasion. The desert kingdom is Egan’s next target and there is no magic strong enough to stop him.
Until now.
Joining forces with people who do not trust him may prove foolish.
Allying himself with the ones he isn’t allowed to love brings unimaginable pain.
Yet, with Riona and Gulliver by his side, Griffin can handle the unwanted magic that has returned to haunt him, the brother who hates him, and the questions with answers that could change everything.
But none of that will matter if Egan isn’t stopped, because now, it isn’t only the fae realm in danger of succumbing to his darkness, but the human realm as well.
As Griffin begins to lose hope that he can save his family and earn their trust again, he starts to wonder…
Will he ever truly be free?

Brea Robinson is a prisoner.
Granted, her prison has gilded halls, servants, and an aunt intent on throwing a lavish wedding. A wedding for Brea. Fae marriages are unbreakable, everlasting.
As Brea barrels toward her forever prison in a marriage to a man she doesn’t love, the three Fae kingdoms are thrown into turmoil. But no matter how close Queen Regan’s enemies get, it won’t be enough to save Brea from the fate she chose.
Some sacrifices result in death. Others only make you wish for death.
Brea didn’t surrender herself to the powerful Fargelsi Queen for nothing. She saved her best friend and found the missing princess. She said goodbye to the man she loved so he could reclaim his throne.
Everything has a purpose, everyone has a role to play and if marrying the wrong brother is hers, at least she’ll help bring an end to this war.
Because Queen Regan O’Rourke might be family, but her rule is over.
It's time for a new generation to unite the Fae.

Griffin O’Shea is Forgotten.
Maybe it’s a good thing no one outside the prison realm remembers everything he did to earn his place in the dark kingdom.
Now that he’s back in the world of the Light Fae, he wants to earn their trust, their loyalty, and that means going after the missing prince and princess of Iskalt, children who call him uncle. It means searching through the human realm for a vanishing village only he can see and a book full of dangerous magic and devious secrets that are better left alone.
With a human leading the search, Riona at his side, and a profound lack of magic, the chances of finding anything they seek have never been worse.
But the odds won’t stop them. Nor will an illness threatening Griffin’s life.
Even if he has to crawl through the portals and face the king of Myrkur on his knees, he cannot stop.
Because there are things worse than death:
Watching those he loves die before him.
Seeing the realms of the fae crumble into dust.
Returning to the prison realm means being forgotten once again. Returning without the book could mean certain death.
But when all roads point to war, Griffin has no other choice.
The king must be defeated. His vast army must be stopped.
And this time, Griffin wants to be the hero instead of the villain.

A dangerous voyage.
The last hope for a kingdom on the edge of destruction.
Tia O’Shea is finally going home. It’s all she’s wanted since her arrival in the strange land, and yet, leaving Lenya feels like abandoning her heart and the one who holds it. But all of Lenya is in danger.
The fire plains encroach upon their lands, destroying villages and the fae within them. Soon, there won’t be anything left of the place she’s come to love. Not without the crystals that provide the only magic the Lenyans have. The same crystals that are in short supply. The same crystals that lie in abundance across the four kingdoms on the other side of the fire plains.
To reach them, they have to find a way home. And that means traversing the violent maelstrom beyond the Vale of Storms—a voyage no sailor has ever survived and few have attempted. If they stay, they will die. If they leave, they will also likely die, but they have to try.
Tia’s family awaits her return, but Keir doesn’t want to let her go. And the fae of Lenya hope their leaders can conquer the storm and reach the foreign shores in time. Because that’s all they have left.
Hope.

But he isn’t alone. Riona, a devoted supporter of the Dark King, watches his every move, forcing him to remain focused on their mission, even when facing a brother who does not recognize him, a former love who doesn’t know him, and two children who could be the key to everything.
