They claim she is Immortal.
They say he is her equal, the only one who can match her power.
But she’s just a normal girl.
Until she isn’t.

That secret involves Allie in ways she could never imagine.
As a latent Immortal power awakens deep inside her, Allie must learn to navigate a dangerous world of secrets and deceptions, but with Aidan as her equal, she just might make it.
Don’t miss the chance to be swept away by Melissa A. Craven's highly original, dark and gritty tale of Immortality, prophecy and fated romance, sure to take readers on an epic journey they won’t soon forget.
A human girl with a troubled past.
A fae prince from a stolen kingdom.
When he whisks her away to the fae realm, there is no going back to her old life.
Under the rule of a captivating queen, the kingdom of Fargelsi has brought the three fae lands to the brink of war. And now that same queen has her eyes set on a new pawn—a human girl.
Allied with the usurper king, the royals seek to overthrow all those who oppose their unmatched power. Unmatched—until Brea Robinson arrives and proves to be more than they bargained for.
As the motivations of those around her become clear, Brea must decide if she can trust the handsome prince who abducted her, or if she might be safer across the wastelands and swamps, in a land in desperate need of the magic she doesn’t know she has.
Prepare to lose yourself in this beautifully wicked epic fantasy with masterful world building, dark and twisty secrets, lies, and powerful magic—and devastatingly handsome fae princes.
Fae’s Deception is the first book in the completed Queens of the Fae series, perfect for fans of Cruel Prince and A Court of Thorn and Roses.
The Queens of the Fae series:
- Fae's Deception
- Fae's Defiance
- Fae's Destruction
The Crimes of the Fae series:
- Fae's Prisoner
- Fae's Power
- Fae's Promise
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.

The Queens of the Fae series:
- Fae's Deception
- Fae's Defiance
- Fae's Destruction
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.
They claim the prophecy is about her.
They say she will lead the Immortals into an unknown future.
But she is angry.
And that anger is all she has left.
Allie Carmichael has so many secrets she doesn't know what—or who—to believe anymore. After dropping a truth bomb that changed her world, Greggory McBrien has disappeared without answering the questions that have haunted her for months. The knowledge that her life was built on a foundation of lies and manipulation has left Allie in a twisted mess of emotions. She still feels overwhelmed with guilt for her mistakes that left her scarred for life and Quinn a captive of the Coalition.
When she returns to school and her normal routine, Allie finds herself constantly dancing on the edge of losing control of her power, too afraid and too furious to confide in anyone––even her broody best friend, Aidan, who could be more than just a friend after that night in Agra they don’t talk about.
An encounter at a dangerous Immortal nightclub gives Allie and her friends a chance to discover what really happened to Quinn. But as Allie continues to struggle with the nightmares that only Aidan can keep at bay, she doesn't understand what her clairvoyant gift is trying to tell her. Just when she begins to put the pieces together, she fears it might be too late, and this time the price for her mistakes will be much too high.
Last time she was afraid. This time she is angry.

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?

They call her First Princess.
They say she will save them all.
But there is only one person who has the power to make her claim her birthright.
The last Immortal Queen of Indriell has named her heir.
The title means nothing to Allie Carmichael. Nothing but more drama and attention she never asked for. Allie loves her newly discovered royal grandparents, but she just wants to finish her senior year of college and start her first job. Not step forward as the princess of a long dead nation she knows precious little about. At twenty-one, she considers herself an adult and has finally found the normal life she’s always craved. As normal as it gets for a young Immortal legacy—prophecy or not.
For nearly four years, Allie and Aidan have gone their separate ways, doing the college thing and just living their lives. Apart. It was his choice to sever their ties. A sacrifice to give her the time she needed to explore her bond with his brother, Darius. A sacrifice she never asked of him.
But when Allie discovers Aidan hasn’t been in school all this time—and his family hasn’t heard from him in more than a year, she struggles to contain her rage and the powerful judgment that burns within her.
Protecting Aidan, even from himself, fuels her every breath.
She would do anything for him. Even step forward as the heir.

They claim he will be a great leader.
They say he is the most powerful Immortal of his generation and the son of prophecy.
But he’s still just a guy.
A lonely, angry guy.
Alienated by the power that sets him apart, Aidan McBrien suffers in silence, choosing to live behind a mask to protect himself, even from those he loves. He is desperate to connect with someone who understands, but Aidan fights a constant battle to control the gifts that threaten to push him over the edge, and he dreads the day his world will look to him to fulfill a prophecy he doesn’t even believe in.
Allie Carmichael is dying inside and she doesn't even realize it.
Half a world away, she endures an isolation she doesn’t understand. As she forges a hesitant friendship for the first time in years, Allie sees a tiny glimmer of the life she wants, and the person she wants to be, but her instincts tell her the timing is all wrong.
Allie and Aidan's paths are about to converge. With others making decisions for them, will they ever truly understand the immense power they posses, or the prophecy that might not be about Aidan after all?
A traitor in search of redemption. A king’s champion on a mission.
He wants to free his people, but she’s determined he’ll never succeed.
The moment Griffin crossed into the prison realm, every fae he’d ever known forgot he existed. Left with nothing—not even his magic—he’s had to survive in a land of eternal darkness where a ruthless king terrorizes his subjects.
Now, he must return to his homeland with one purpose—destroy the magic binding the Dark Fae to the prison realm—or suffer the consequences.
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.
This time, Griffin will have to decide if becoming a traitor—again—will lead to the redemption he seeks.
Don’t miss the chance to lose yourself in a dark and gritty fantasy realm with masterful world building, powerful magic—and a devastatingly flawed fae prince.

Four years ago, Allie and Aidan parted ways.
She had a new life that didn’t include him.
He had a secret he couldn’t share.
Aidan:
It broke his heart, but to save her, he had to set her free.
Shielding Allie and his family from his new life is the only thing that keeps Aidan going. That, and his special bond with his partner, Naomi. Together they have an important job to do. Convince the Milan Initiative they can be trusted to lead an army of Syntrophos—an army that is loyal to Aidan alone. But betrayal is like a cloud hanging over them. It lurks in every corner, leaving Aidan and Naomi unable to trust anyone but themselves.
Allie:
Reeling from the loss of the most important person in her life, Allie’s spirit is broken.
Her only anchor in the storm is her Syntrophos, Darius McBrien. With Aidan’s inexplicable absence, Allie distances herself from the McBrien family, finding solace in an unexpected friendship. Determined to keep her indomitable sister, Livia behind bars where she belongs, Allie moves on with her life. But as the brewing war in the Dreamworld reaches new heights, Allie and Livia must work together with Navid and Quinn to stop the dream walker who threatens the very lifeblood of the Dreamworld.
Allie has been warned. Someone close to her will betray her.

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.
