She dreamed of owls and smoke. She woke to a kingdom in peril.
Addie Howell thought she’d perfected the art of holding it all together—until her anxiety-fueled sleep hallucinations rip her from Manhattan into a realm teetering on the edge of distruction. Lost and reeling, she’s captured by Gwilym (Will) Noctura, arrogant commander to Threllwood’s ruthless Druid Queen—and her only chance of surviving this strange land.
When the deadly Scourge ravages their party, Addie recognizes the blight from her darkest dreams—and unwittingly unleashes the only power that can repel it. As sole witness, Will drags her before his Druid Queen. Addie braces to be used as a weapon, but Will conceals her secret and offers a choice: return to the mortal realm’s safety, or stay to uncover the truth of her magic—and risk becoming a coveted prize.
As a fragile alliance sparks into dangerous attraction, Addie must navigate the Owl Kingdom’s deadly forests and hidden aeries to learn the truth of her past—and power. With the Scourge closing in and the Queen tightening her grip, Addie must choose: risk her life for the realm—and the man—she’s come to love, or abandon them both for the safety of a life that was never hers.
KINGDOM OF THE OWL combines the sweeping romance and “down the rabbit hole” immersion of Outlander with the magic, enemies-to-lovers tension, and hidden destiny of Spark of the Everflame, bridging the contemporary and fantastical in a way that is both epic and one-of-a-kind.
