Poison & Wine
When headstrong Princess Ivy Crestieene of Iosnos is shipped across the sea to the more prosperous country of Asmye, a terrifying new husband meets her at the altar. Dropped into a treacherous, erotic, and toxic arranged marriage, Ivy is thwarted in her attempts to be a good wife and leader by her controlling husband, King Rian Garreau, and his court of religious fanatics, and violent devotees. While struggling to conceive an heir, the threat of violence looms heavy as she finds herself at the center of a decades long war and an unwilling convert into a dark, fantastical religion. After an attempt on Queen Ivy’s life, her new bodyguard becomes her closest friend and a window into the inner workings of Asmye. As Ivy adapts to her new life, her feelings for King Rian transform from beastly hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every hesitation. But Rian’s haunted past still hides in plain sight, churning the waves of their relationship and leading Ivy further down a path of temptation and into the arms of a mysterious new paramour.
When Queen Ivy is driven to leave her husband, she escapes across the sea to her homeland of Iosnos with her lover and bodyguard Luc, but all is not how she expects. The untouched island shores are now home to her father’s insatiable greed, Asmye’s industry of war, and a haunting priestess leading a new church of Adievasinis.
A forlorn King Rian sets off on a journey for both church & crown as instability in the Asmyian territories threatens his father’s empire. His priest and trusted advisor Trevarthan tasks Rian with a holy quest and he soon discovers destiny comes with a lofty price.
The arrival of Adeshbu and Asmyian Knights alongside the Queen seeks to bring a new order to the Iosnos through militant force and keen eyes. The Adeshbu reveal more about their secretive culture as they cut through the dark underbelly of Iosnos’ organized crime.
As Ivy struggles to find her place and voice under the weight of powerful men, her fears and anxieties about keeping the secret of Rian’s affair are to preserve their alliance, but hiding her own tryst is to save her skin. The longer Ivy lies to those around her, she wonders how long she can lie to herself.
