    Summary

    Lucien seemed to gather himself and asked, “How have you been?”

    Elain lowered her eyes briefly to her cup.

    I have been secretly planning to break away from the Night Court with my sister by growing our powers and building a sprawling network of alliances through Prythian after we realized we live in a constant state of surveillance and forced helplessness, she thought.

    “I have been well,” she replied.

    This is what you reread when you need unhinged chaos reminiscing for the days you thought Joss Whedon was awesome.

    Summary

    After House of Flame and Shadow, nothing feels the same. The Inner Circle is fractured and Nesta's place in it all has never been more uncertain. Cassian keeps going back and forth between Velaris and Illyria, coming home only to leave again, Emerie told her how things had been unraveling in the camps,
    Nesta made a decision: This time, she would go.
    This is a story about Nesta in Illyria — leaving Velaris behind alongside Emerie, to understand what this place truly is, beyond its brutality. The history they hide. The systems they protect and Illyrian traditions.
    With her relationship with Cassian hanging by a thread neither of them knows how to hold, she also fights to keep the bond she still feels

    This is Nesta’s journey through Illyria — and the woman she has to become to live in it.

    ps: yes, I changed the synopsis. had to. this story became a lot more than it was when I first started.

    Summary

    A young English woman learns her long-believed-dead father is alive & involved in an ugly venture in the late 1700's conflict between the European powers struggling for political and commercial dominance in the Americas. Accompanied by a handsome Spanish captain, who may be either her bodyguard or her jailer (and his very tall & rather violent companion), they search for the mysterious pirate who raised her and wind up rescuing a desperate young Middle Eastern man trying to save people from a cruel fate in the wilderness that is Colonial Florida.

    Inspired by (requires less research than "based on") a REAL incident in American History. (This stuff writes its RebelCaptain self.Google it!) Pirates, Storms, Rum, Religion, Philosophy, Ideals of the Enlightenment corrupted by greed & lust for power, cross-dressing, Spain v England + Portugal in the background and the American Revolution gets put on simmer. More than you needed to know about Indigo production, actual bodice-ripping of actual bodices (where appropriate), swords, 18th cen. History is full of angst and pain (and so is my writing) but I am going to try to make this little less. Fantasy. Sexy fun where I can manage it but this is me.
