Descendants of the Fire Tree Series
Trust and love should remain entwined but what if in order to keep the one you love safe you must spare them with a lie?
Living along the fae and human border comes with many hardships, but lately Brendalyn Ellingboe’s days have become merciless. The history between the shapeshifters and humans is stained with blood, but not all perils come from outside Crim’s castle walls.
The king is dying, the shapeshifter raids are becoming increasingly more violent, and Prince Alder’s affection waivers between loyal friendship and something more. The pressure which Brendalyn Ellibgboe must carry upon her shoulders is immense. As if navigating Crim’s tumultuous kingdom weren’t enough, the weight of her father’s unspoken words wedge a splinter of doubt into Bren’s heart.
Splinters and Secrets is a mini novella which sets the stage for the events that occur in The Breaking of Brendalyn Ellingboe.
Splinters & Secrets: Prequel
Descendants of the Fire Tree Vol. 0.5
The kingdom of Crim rests along the mountainous human and fae borders, dedicated to defending the human realm from the shapeshifters at all cost.
Brendalyn Ellingboe is the perfect image of a soldier. Everything in Bren’s world seems to be under her control, that is until she is bitten by a shapeshifter. The shapeshifter venom rips Bren’s consciousness in two, leaving her trapped in the same body as her new hellacious twin, Shadow.
While the sun shines Bren is in perfect control of her life, but within her lurks a demon. Like a stain upon her soul, Shadow emerges only at night, straining for bloodshed and freedom.
Thankfully the new general of Crim, Novah Vang, has experience with shapeshifter poison. In fact, he has more knowledge about the fae than anyone within Crim’s walls.
Bren and Novah dance around the truth like a deadly waltz. Their attraction is just one more flame that has set Bren’s world afire.
Bren must tame Shadow, her personal demon, before she can tackle the dangers that threaten her kingdom. But Shadow is not the only traitor. Beating beneath Bren’s chest blooms another. Her loyalty to Crim versus the man she loves battle as she navigates who within her now murky alliances she can trust.
The Breaking of Brendalyn Ellingboe
Descendants of the Fire Tree Vol. 1
Tension is rising throughout the restless streets of Cereluna. The bastard heir to King Gabriel Nocturne’s throne has been captured. With so much turmoil, perhaps it’s time for the Buried Rebellion to finally make their move against the crown.
Alder Edman’s arrival in Cereluna isn’t the only rumor whispered behind closed doors. It is said that another halfling has been captured as well, and with her, Novah Bellitome is sure to come running back to the past he tried so desperately to outrun.
Everyone fears King Gabriel, but he is not the only monarch to walk these palace halls. She is so easily forgotten in his shadow, but Veradine Nocturne is still the Queen of Cereluna. Will she cower beside her king or will she grow fangs and claws of her own?

Descendants of the Fire Tree Vol. 1.5
In this harrowing sequel to The Breaking of Brendalyn Ellingboe, Bren and Alder are whisked away to a kingdom far more sinister than their own. Alder is the heir to the throne of Cereluna, but this crown comes with terrible enemies. Gabriel Nocturne, King of Cereluna, would like nothing more than to see Alder’s head on a spike. However, his trusted advisor, Peridon Bellitome, is after something else—the return of his son, Novah Bellitome.
Peridon Bellitome possesses the Ember Heart. It is powerful, wild and seemingly alive. Some believe it to be the source of magic itself. With the Ember Heart in Peridon’s possession, he is invincible. Fighting against such a force of nature seems impossible…until Bren discovers that someone close to her has bested Peridon before. Cereluna is a dangerous kingdom, but answers to Bren’s past can be found within the half truths of her enemies. Powers Bren never knew she was capable of rest just out of reach.
Try as she might, there’s no escaping this kingdom on her own. She will need every advantage she can get—but will it be enough?
