Wicked Villains
After finishing their mission together, both Callan and Audrey find themselves in a position they did not expect. Their feelings towards each other have changed. And so has the power balance. While trapped in an entirely new situation, both of them will have to sort through their tangled emotions and figure out how to handle their complicated relationship.
At the same time, the other dark mages are on the warpath. Some might be open to negotiating a deal, but others are preparing for an outright fight. In order to avoid a direct confrontation, Audrey and Callan have to work together to broker a tenuous peace. At least until the two of them are ready to make their own moves.
Enemies are circling them like wolves, waiting for them to slip up. But the greatest danger they face is not the enraged heroes or the other dark mages. It is their feelings for each other.

Marion Blackwood
In the crowded realms of fantasy and romance, where dragons soar and fae conspire, Marion Blackwood has carved a space that feels fiercely personal and irresistibly dangerous. Her stories don’t just invite readers in—they drag them, willingly or not, into webs of betrayal, passion, and shifting allegiances, where no character is ever entirely safe and no choice comes without consequence.
With a pen that moves as deftly through political intrigue as it does through enemies-to-lovers tension, Blackwood has become a name whispered among fans of epic romantic fantasy and fantasy romance alike. Her breakout saga The Oncoming Storm introduced a world where power is as seductive as it is deadly, while her Court of Elves series leans into the sprawling grandeur of court politics, mythic secrets, and shifting loyalties. These aren't just romances wrapped in fantasy tropes—they’re survival stories stitched with heat, heartbreak, and hard-won victories.
