Blurb

Rainn is bewildered.

A night out with friends ends with a two-foot-tall pixie smacking her, so it’s clear she’s not on Earth. At least not the one she knows.

Rainn soon learns she’s a sorceress. The first born in centuries. Something sought by both sides of an age-old struggle. One side wants the power—her—destroyed. The other wants to set it free and watch the world burn.

No longer a prince of Hell, Declan gave up his birthright in a last-ditch effort to find his mate. He waited centuries for the notoriously fickle fates to smile on him. The last thing he expected was for her to appear suddenly in his guest room.

Now they’re both targets of fearful politicians and violent terrorists. With the help of a bear-sized dog, they set out to find the middle ground—without making too many catastrophic mistakes.

Follow Rainn into Empyrean—a realm with magic, adventure, passion, contrary pixies, supernatural beings, mail-delivering weasels, smart, sassy heroines, and sexy heroes in tight pants.

This is the first in a series of full-length contemporary portal fantasy romance novels. Each book can be read separately, though the story of Empyrean continues through the series. No cheating, and the couple gets its happily ever after by the end of the book.

The Empyrean Realm

Empyrean is a hidden realm crowded with supernatural factions, old grudges, magical creatures, and politics sharp enough to draw blood.

The series follows a new couple in each book while the larger conflict, found-family cast, and fate of the realm continue across the series.

Brimstone Born is Book 1 and the intended entry point.

Good for readers who want:

  • The best place to begin the Empyrean series.
  • Adult portal fantasy romance with a modern, sassy heroine.
  • A former prince of Hell who has waited centuries for his mate.
  • Found family, magical politics, strange creatures, humor, and steam.
  • A complete central romance with continuing series stakes.

Maybe skip if:

  • Fated mates, magical politics, or portal-fantasy worldbuilding are not a fit.
  • You want a low-magic contemporary romance.
  • Violence, terrorism, or threatened magical destruction are not a fit.
