Dangerous Fae artifacts. Bloodthirsty creatures. One unfortunate binding spell. My new temp job is off to a great start! Joining the Magical Artifacts Institute as an artifact hunter has always been my dream job. Problem is, they keep rejecting my applications. So when I find a dangerous Fae artifact stashed in my temp job's basement, I know I'm about to prove them wrong. Unfortunately, the arrogant stranger who interrupts my find doesn't agree with my good fortune. Aidan belongs to the Institute and insists on following procedure and confiscating my artifact. He's welcome to try, but there's one small problem. Oops, make that two: he's triggered a binding spell that won't allow more than a few feet between us, and someone has unleashed a nightmarish Fae hound that's trying to turn us into lunch. Now I must break the bond, escape the hound, convince Aidan that I'd be the best Institute worker ever, and figure out who's willing to kill to get to my artifact. Sounds hard? That's okay--I might be only one-sixteenth Fae, but I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. Finding Fae Artifacts is the first book in the Magical Artifacts Institute series--a fun, fast-paced Urban Fantasy series featuring tricky magic, adventure, and an opposites attract slow burn romance.

But Aliana, the Destined One, must also figure out and complete a mysterious task before she can return to her own time.

With the unwelcome knowledge of their looming deaths, will she be able to resist the temptation to save the people she loves? While she is trying to figure out her purpose for being sent to the past, the attentions of Sir Galahad and King Arthur continue to be a delightful yet confusing distraction.

The sparking sensation she’d normally felt whenever she touched Sir Galahad is mysteriously missing, but she can’t deny a continued connection with the protective knight. Weapons powerful enough to destroy even Excalibur surface, along with a shadowy figure that even seems to have influence over Mordrid. The time of the eclipse grows ever closer and everything Aliana thought she knew will once again be tossed into question as she continues on her legendary quest.

Sinister sorcery. Gallows humor. A queer romance so glorious it could be right out of fae legend itself. Master of One is a fantasy unlike any other. Rags the thief has never met a pocket he couldn’t pick, but when he’s captured by a sorcerer with world-ending plans, he realizes even he is in over his head. Forced to use his finely honed skills to nab pieces of an ancient fae relic, Rags is stunned to discover that those “relics” just happen to be people: A distractingly handsome Fae prince, A too-honorable Queensguard deserter, A scrappy daughter of a disgraced noble family, A deceptively sweet-natured prince, A bona fide member of the Resistance, And him. Rags. They may all be captives in the sorcerer’s terrible scheme, but that won’t stop them from fighting back. And, sure, six unexpected allies against one wicked enemy doesn’t make for generous odds, but lucky for him, Rag’s not generous—he’s smart. And he has a plan that just might get them out of this alive. With the heist and intrigue of Six of Crows and the dark fairy tale feel of The Cruel Prince, this young adult fantasy debut will have readers rooting for a pair of reluctant heroes as they take on a world-ending fae prophecy, a malicious royal plot, and, most dangerously of all, their feelings for each other.
