That which was forgotten cannot be controlled. A sleeping power awakens…

A fantasy book cover titled 'The Witch Queen' by Alexandria Arden. The cover features a large red moon in a dark, cloudy red sky, surrounded by floating red leaves.

The Witch Queen

At 20 years old, Laurel was the prophesied Queen of Thayaria, fated for a great love and to win the war that would unite her people — until she lost.

300 years after the war with Velmara, Queen Laurel Elestren of Thayaria has shrouded her kingdom in mist. She’s known throughout the Four Kingdoms as The Witch Queen, reclusive and feared for her dark magic. 

When the magic of Thayaria begins to falter, Laurel strikes a deal with her enemy, King Mazus of Velmara, to trade emissaries. But Velamara’s emissary, Prince Hawthorne, is a powerful wielder of light magic and a handsome, indiscriminate bachelor — two things Laurel is not prepared to deal with. 

As resentment and rebellion form in Thayaria, could Hawthorne be an ally to unite their kingdoms as well as her own? Or was he sent to destroy her from the inside out? 

The Witch Queen is the first book in The Thayar Crown, an adult Fantasy Romance series with deep world building, high steam, political intrigue, and multiple romance plot lines.

Book cover for 'The Shining Prince' by Alexandria Arden, featuring a silver crown with a gold sun emblem, a full moon with a silhouette of a flying dragon, surrounded by dark trees and lightning in a stormy sky.

The Shining Prince

Your days are numbered, father, because my mate is coming for me.

She’s coming for you.

In the aftermath of The Golden King’s incursion into Thayaria, the Witch Queen has disappeared. Nemesia, Fionn, and Carex must prepare Thayaria for war, despite the mistrust brewing between them. The kingdom has relied on its wall of mist to keep it safe for centuries, but Mazus’s aggression and Laurel’s absence has put that security in jeopardy.

On the other side of the Four Kingdoms, Laurel has no idea where Mazus has spirited her mate. She’ll stop at nothing to get him back, even if it means becoming the villain the world believes her to be. 

After a devastating loss at the end of book one, Thayaria’s broken and disparate court must fight just to survive. Can Laurel rescue Hawthorne before she loses her mind, and her friends? Will they ever forgive her for abandoning them with war on the horizon?

In the highly anticipated second installment of The Thayar Crown series, tensions reach their breaking point, and millennia of secrets will be revealed.

Elliott Elstern didn't break barriers and become the NHL's first female referee just to throw it all away for a man.

The problem? That man is Aidan De'Andomer, captain of the Kansas City Storm. The man she met four weeks ago and walked away from without looking back. The man now skating directly in front of her, grinning like he isn’t the one person she absolutely cannot touch.

He's willing to risk everything for a chance with her, but Elliott knows better. One slip, one photo, one wrong move, and her dream career implodes.

But chemistry this explosive doesn't stay hidden forever, and while her job is staying impartial, her heart didn’t get the memo. 

Conflict of interest never looked this good.
