The Courts Between

Romantic fantasy fans will be swept away by this tale of fated mates, court intrigue, and a love that defies the gods who grasp for crumbling control over the realms between and below.

The ties that bind often break us.

So few understand how the weight of a crown breaks your neck and straightens your spine the way Lunar demi-goddess Astra does.

She dreams of a world where title and rank mean nothing-a dangerous thought for someone a heartbeat away from the Lunar Throne. Exiled for her fiery tendencies and unpopular politics, she's spent the last few years far from the court's suffocating expectations.

When palace guardians find a mysterious object, Astra's powerful intuition earns her an unwanted summons home from the community she's built. It's clear right away that her mother is determined not only to prohibit her return to her found family but to use her hand as a bargaining chip to strengthen alliances with the human courts.

Determined to control her own fate, Astra strikes a deal to wed the charming and rebellious King of Mercury. Her bargain entangles her with the king's arrogant commander, Luxuros, whose secrets will rain down hell from both the Lunar Court's enemies in the Solar Court and the gods that watch them all from the Court Above.

As the threat of war looms, Astra and Luxuros are thrust into a dangerous game of hidden truths and forbidden power. Astra must unearth long-buried family betrayals and embrace a legacy she's always sworn she never wanted to keep the people she loves safe.
