What Burns Beneath

Traversing the mortal realm by day. Trapped in the Fae realm by night. Brin’s been better. As a hedge mage with a green thumb and a heart of gold, all she ever wanted was a quiet home and a nice garden in the realm’s most idyllic village.  And she had them… until the Fae attacked. One night of monsters and bloodshed leaves her peaceful life shattered and her best friend at death’s door. And when one of the Fae offers to save her friend- for a price, of course- Brin accepts… then steals a magical relic from the creature and runs for her life. But escaping a ruthless monster isn’t easy, especially when said monster keeps appearing in her dreams. And if that wasn’t bad enough, bargaining with a Fae is a crime punishable by death… and Brin’s only protection on the road is a ruthless, frustratingly attractive mercenary who just knows she’s hiding something. And this terrified gardener is not hiding it very well.                    *Book 1 Complete!* Upload schedule: Mondays and Wednesdays. What to expect: 1. An underdog heroine with a heart of gold.  2.
