Viveca Hua is the warlock of her era, and she has finally obtained her enemy’s greatest weapon—the demon Yves, an entity powerful beyond imagining... and far more alluring than any mortal woman.
But each ritual has a price. Yves has her own past, one brutally intertwined with the nemesis that killed Viveca’s mother. Her secrets will make or break the hunt.
Whatever the risk to her heart or her soul, Viveca is sure of one thing: she will have victory at any cost.
The Grace of Sorcerers is a lesbian urban fantasy of smoldering shapeshifters, brooding demons, and the bloodthirsty mages who engage their services in both vengeance and lust.
Cover and release date to be announced.
To be a sorceress means to seize your desires and take possession, to invoke powers most ancient to triumph—to leave no challengers alive, and take back all that is yours by right.
Olesya Hua could have been the sorceress of her age, if not for the curse that struck her down. Now risen from its ashes, she's determined to carve her mark into the world.
Recadat Kongmanee is the survivor of a heinous affliction that has left her with unnatural hunger… and potent magic that’s slowly killing her. When she comes to Olesya’s door, she doesn’t expect to find a kindred spirit, or that the cabal who wronged her was also responsible for nearly breaking Olesya.
United in purpose. Each powerful in her own way. And for herself, Olesya is determined to bring the world to heel.
Now is the time of the sorceress.
