Winds of Darkness – Melissa K. Roehrich (2025)

This English-language book contains two spellbinding novellas from the Lady of Darkness series: Unrelenting Winds and The Reaper. Centuries after the Great War divided the realm, the Fae Courts and mortal lands are rebuilding and trying to move forward in a world they no longer recognize. When the Wind Princess requests a meeting with Prince Briar Drayce, ruler of the Water Court, he accepts, as he has always sought to keep the peace. But her aloof manner hides a request that may be too much, and he must decide whether it is worth risking the anger of the Fae Courts, the realm and the gods. Before he became the Third of the Fire Court, Rayner was the Reaper, and before that, Moranna’s Ash Rider. Moranna, the Baroness of a colony hidden in the Southern Islands, has always claimed to work tirelessly to protect some of the Fae. When Rayner discovers her darkest secrets, he vows to destroy her and everything she has created, but rebellion brings a curse upon him. His path back to vengeance is marked by violence, grief and unexpected allies, while he knows better than anyone that some nightmares never end.
