' On the run from her attackers, she soon finds the forest is not as abandoned as she’d once thought. Beautiful and elegant, the elves seem to be everything the legends said they would be. But legends sometimes forget the true history of things and Claire’s eyes are soon opened to a world she never knew. One that has been kept from her for most of her life. All Claire wants to do is return home and start looking for her mother, the only family she ever had. But the elves have different plans. The mysterious mark that appeared on her arm isn’t a curse, at least not to them anyway, and before she knows it, she is whisked away on a mission she never agreed to, unless they help her in return. Now she is stuck on an adventure with the perverted elf, Aeron, and one with an attitude, Farron. But there is more to this adventure than she’d ever hoped for. less

After escaping from the elves and the General, Claire is on the run again with the last person she’d thought she’d end up with— Farron. Shadowy forces are nipping at their heels, and soon they are attacked. But they have bigger worries. An old friend of Farron’s shows up: a beautiful woman with a mark shockingly similar to her own. As it turns out, she is not alone. And the new woman isn’t exactly on their side. Claire is kidnapped and lands in the middle of Farron’s biggest secret of all... moreAfter escaping from the elves and the General, Claire is on the run again with the last person she’d thought she’d end up with— Farron.

As it turns out, she is not alone. And the new woman isn’t exactly on their side. Claire is kidnapped and lands in the middle of Farron’s biggest secret of all. Once again she is a prisoner and the people that surround her want to use her and her powers, people that she doesn’t have the option of refusing. The wolves are circling, but to pick a side means giving up everything she holds dear. less

Set two years before the events in Cursed, Entangled follows Claire as she navigates through her seemingly normal life where things are about to get a bit more difficult. Take a sneak peek into the life of Farron when he was Sin de Reine, The King's Shadow. Short story. Approx. 23,000 words.

Claire finally has a clue to her mother’s whereabouts, and she won’t let anything stand in her way this time.

Not even the Syndicate, the fact that it could be a trap to lure her out of hiding, or the seemingly insurmountable mission she is currently tasked with: to find the other Star Children while she still can. The mark on her arm is slowly consuming her, body and mind, and it’s a race against time to complete her mission, locate her mother, and hopefully, find a way to stop her magic-- or at least slow its potentially devastating progression. And to top it all off, a certain silver-haired elf refuses to leave her alone. less

Claire’s time is limited. The mark is consuming her. Magic needs to be restored, but will it be worth the cost? Humans will think of her as a traitor, the elves a savior. If nothing is done, there won’t be anything left at all. With only a clue on where to go, the journey ahead will push Claire to her limits. Can a simple barmaid really save the world? She’s about to find out.
