The Tidebound Courts
Salt, starlight and a crown with a cost shape this maritime romantasy. A Crown of Salt and Starlight brings desire and duty into the same tide, where neither power nor love arrives without consequence.

Book One of The Fifth Ring Saga · Book 1
The Tide Went Wrong The tide went wrong three nights before the dead fisherman came home. Not with storm. Storms belonged to ordinary fear, and ordinary fear had rules. Storms broke masts. Storms drowned cattle in low fields. Storms tore slates from roofs and left women standing in doorways counting names into the dark with shaking hands and practical voices.
Celtic Fantasy
Sadhbh Éireann
On the day Bríd Ó Corráin is buried, blood boils beneath a kettle in the Blackwater Arms and her missing St Brigid medal rises from it with a warning: the fourth ash wakes. As Niamh confronts the enigmatic Cian Vale and the secrets her family kept in the name of survival, a drowned kingdom lights beneath Blackwater Harbour and an ancient oath tied to her blood begins to break.
Shifter Romantasy
Cillian Faelan
Red Moon Oath On the night Lyra Vale was told she would have to marry her enemy, the moon rose red over the carcass of a stag and every wolf in the valley went still. Her pack called it an omen. Lyra called it an insult, because Caelan Thorne was already standing in her father’s hall looking like the sort of trouble women wrote songs about and kingdoms buried sons over.
Epic Romantasy / Political Fantasy
Elowen Ravenscar
A crown is never only ceremony when loyalty is sharpened into a weapon. The Blade-Vow Queen is political romantasy about rule, dangerous devotion and the choices power demands from the person expected to hold it.

Dúnmara Chronicles · Book 4
The drowned boat came home without its men at the hour when the tide should have been going out. By then, Cara O’Dálaigh had learned to distrust every mercy that arrived clean. A boat returning was supposed to be a blessing. A small one, perhaps, compared with childbirth, harvest, fever breaking before dawn, or a husband’s hand finding yours beneath a table while men argued law around you as if women were furniture with opinions.
