Book 3: Princess Shuka and the Pirate King.
An elf princess in exile. A pirate with a promise. A war that will unite or destroy them.
Princess Shuka, a proud and pampered elf, is stranded in the treacherous Marshes of Mu after a dragon attacks. She is rescued by the jaunty pirate, Captain Rolf Fox.
Rolf vows to restore Shuka to her father, but the challenges escalate when he learns Shuka's father has already left her for dead. An enemy fleet threatens the Marshlands, and Rolf must organize the defense. With war on the horizon, he is torn between his duty to his people and his promise to Shuka.
Shuka must swallow her pride and join forces with the pirate and the barbaric Marshmen to defeat the enemy invaders. Will they triumph over a relentless enemy or be torn apart?
Book 4: Primrose Pringle and the Warrior Elf.
A cynical mercenary. An elf warrior with a secret. A bond tested in a savage battle.
The brutal invaders' march toward the Northlands sends battle-hardened mercenary, Prim the Grim, riding to defend the border. On her journey, she intervenes to warn two travelers of a goblin ambush and meets Thorn, an elven warrior. His combat skills, calm authority and sharp wit spark an attraction she had sworn to avoid. She is unaware he is Swordmaster Thorson Brightblade, the legendary hero she has long admired.
Drawn together by their shared mission to repel the invaders, their perilous trek through the mountains ignites a bond between Prim and Thorn. But dangers multiply when they join the allied armies at the border. Treachery stirs within their own ranks and dragons darken the skies. As the enemy army advances, Prim must choose between her love for Thorn and her duty to a commander she no longer trusts. Will their love be a beacon of hope or a casualty of war?
