You can like lipstick and worms.

Princess of Songbirds

As the court of King Matthias Corvinus becomes a battlefield of secrets, forged loyalties and dangerous alliances, Ilona is drawn deeper into the political struggle surrounding the captive Vlad Dracula. What begins as a search for the truth becomes a game of espionage, power and betrayal—and the bond between them becomes far more dangerous than either intended.

Set against the turbulent politics of fifteenth-century Hungary, Book Two of the Seasons of Power Trilogy is a dark tale of forbidden love, court intrigue and the terrible cost of choosing your own fate.

Prince of Rats

Ilona Szilágyi has spent her life learning where a woman’s power begins—and where it is supposed to end. But when the captive Vlad Dracula is brought into her world, curiosity draws her toward a man everyone else has already decided is a monster.

Between them grows an alliance neither can afford, shaped by secrets, ambition and a dangerous fascination that refuses to remain harmless.

A dark historical tale about the stories we tell of monsters—and what happens when you come close enough to discover the man beneath the legend.

Meet the author

I believe stories are where we test the limits of human nature.

I have little interest in perfect people. I’m drawn to quiet strength, earned resilience, and the unsettling space where tenderness and violence coexist. I’m fascinated by women who refuse to trade softness for strength—and by the price both demand.

That’s why I write about people forced to choose between love and power, loyalty and survival, mercy and justice.

Whether I’m writing historical fiction, dark romance, or fantasy, I find myself coming back to the same questions:

What makes someone worth following?
What makes them dangerous?
What makes them impossible to forget?

You’ll always find costly choices, women with steel beneath their grace, and men worth dying—or killing—for.

Sister of No Mercy

But when a terrified young mother arrives at the convent with nowhere left to run, Cait’s carefully separated worlds begin to collide
—and mercy is the last thing she has in mind.
