Siren and soulmate to the King of Night, Callypso Lillis survived the clutches of Karnon, the mad king, and his twisted prison. But the nightmare isn’t over. Callie wears the physical reminders of her time as a captive, and mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls is still out there.

When a fae celebration thrusts Callie and her mate, Desmond Flynn, into the Kingdom of Flora, they take their investigation with them. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, they find there are more immediate issues to deal with. No place is more uniquely savage than the great fae halls, and no amount of bargains can save Callie from royal intrigues.

Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want things too unspeakable to utter. One thing is for sure: no one is who they appear to be. Not even Des, who only grows more enigmatic with every passing secret.

But the Kingdom of Flora has its own secrets, from bleeding trees to branded slaves and missing guards. Something is stirring in the land of all that grows, and if Callie isn’t careful, it will claim everything and everyone she loves — and her along with it.

Laura Thalassa

Laura Thalassa

Laura Thalassa has always had a knack for telling stories that feel as real as they are magical. Growing up in Fresno, California, she spent her childhood crafting imaginative tales with her best friend, her overactive imagination a constant companion. It wasn’t long before that childhood hobby turned into a career—one that would bring her to the forefront of the paranormal and fantasy romance genres.

With an eye for intricate worlds and complex emotions, Laura’s books transport readers to realms where magic and romance collide. Her stories, often filled with darker elements, explore themes of fate, power, and love in its many forms. But even when the stakes are at their highest, Laura’s writing never loses its heart, making her books not just escapist reads but deeply emotional journeys.

Best known for her Bewitched series, which has garnered a loyal following and earned her a spot on the USA Today bestseller list, Laura’s tales often center on strong-willed characters caught between duty and desire. Her storytelling is evocative, with every chapter drawing readers deeper into the drama and wonder of her carefully crafted worlds. Whether it’s through cursed beings or fated lovers, she knows how to keep readers turning pages late into the night.

Now residing in Santa Barbara, California, with her fiancé, author Dan Rix, Laura balances her writing with time spent outdoors—whether at the beach or hiking in the sun-soaked hills. It’s clear that her love for the natural world translates into her storytelling, where even the most magical of landscapes feel tangible and alive.

Laura continues to write stories that captivate and thrill, and with each new release, she redefines what it means to blend fantasy with romance. Fans can look forward to her upcoming work, The Curse That Binds, a prequel to the Bewitched series, set to release in 2025.
