*Terms Apply

 

Three Series. One World. Terms Apply.

Every story in this world starts with an agreement somebody didn't read closely enough.

Dragon vows that can't be lied through. A careless wish that becomes a contract. A death that can be postponed — at interest.

The magic is binding. The paperwork is airtight. And not one page of it can make anybody fall in love.

That part you have to do yourself.

  • season's summonings

    • A demon for every holiday.
      Six novellas · Releasing now

    Read the card out loud and find out what you actually wished for.

    An old recipe card, a Valentine, a scorched scrap nobody remembers keeping — say the words and something answers. He's ancient, he's contractually bound to you until the holiday turns, and he is absolutely forbidden from doing the work for you. Your hands. Your wish. Six days on the clock.

    The trouble is that the wish you said out loud is never the one the contract is actually listening for.

    Standalone holiday romcoms. Scorching heat, happily ever afters, no cliffhangers.

  • dragon brides

    • Marriage first. Feelings second. Chaos throughout.
      Three novels · Coming 2027

    Dragons went public in 1998, and the real shock wasn't that they existed — it was that they'd been running old-money America the whole time.

    Three Sárkány brothers are staring down their Settling, the deadline where an unmated dragon forfeits his hoard and his Council seat. Each one marries a human woman for a spectacularly petty reason — revenge, spite, jealousy — and each one gets ambushed by the real thing.

    Dragon vows are binding magic. A marriage entered for show still counts. The magic does not care about your reasons, a fact all three brothers learn in order, and none of them warns the next one.

    Steamy paranormal romcom. Chicago. Wedding planners, health inspectors, and one forensic accountant who bills sarcasm hourly.

  • death witches

    • Death first. Love second. Paperwork throughout.
      Three novels · Coming soon

    Somebody has to administer death for beings who live a thousand years.

    Somebody certifies a dragon is actually dead before the hoard can pass. Somebody underwrites the actuarial tables. Somebody seals a matriarch's letters and enforces "to be opened when you finally do something interesting." In Chicago, that somebody is Vesper & Daughters — discreet arrangements since 1871.

    Witches watched the dragons go public and quietly, unanimously, decided absolutely not.With dragons soaking up every camera in America, nobody looks twice at the little firm behind the funeral home.

    Three sisters, three practices, three books. Deferrals, scrying, and probate — and one client who turns out to be Death himself.

How do the stories fit together?

Do I have to read them in order?

No. Every book in this world is a complete story with its own happily ever after. Start anywhere.

So how are they connected?

Dragon Bride and The Death Witch Guides share a city, a century of history, and a few very tired recurring characters — including one insurance adjuster who deserves better.

Season's Summonings sits a little apart. Different towns, different rules, its own closed canon. What all three share is the thing the name is about: contract magic that honors the letter of an agreement and cannot be argued with, bargained down, or lied to.

Then what's the catch?

The same one every time. The magic will enforce every clause exactly as written. It will not, under any circumstances, make somebody love you.

That part is not covered.
