Hidden by Fate

A prophecy foretold of a journey across the seas that would solve all my problems.

But now I'm stuck between an old flame who wants to rekindle what we had, and a jealous vampire who would take the other's head if permitted.

Did I mention the psycho goddess Lilis, stalking our every move, intent on killing us all?

Despite our troubles, what started out as a cobbled-together faction destined to fail is finally starting to rise to the challenge.

We're hot on the trail of the "gem" we've been searching for...a girl named Jade, who is the next key to restoring the Veil. If I can keep Raven from decapitating Maverick and myself from letting either of them make a fool out of me for love (again) we just might have a fighting chance.

Born in Canada, Mayer discovered her love for writing in her early teens, but it wasn’t until adulthood that she fully embraced her passion.

But it wasn’t just the supernatural elements that drew readers in. Mayer’s books are rich in character development, with protagonists who are flawed yet fiercely resilient, navigating their complex inner worlds as much as the dangers lurking in theirs.

Her stories feel like more than just escapism—they offer a reflection of the human experience wrapped in the magic of the supernatural.

In addition to her work in urban fantasy, Mayer has also ventured into paranormal romance and magical adventure, with series such as The Alpha Territories and The Inkbound series gaining attention for their unique takes on familiar tropes. Her recent releases, including Gossamer and Inked in Ashes, show Mayer’s ability to constantly evolve her craft, delivering fresh and exciting stories for her growing audience.

Through every book, Mayer’s voice remains consistent—fast-paced, emotional, and utterly compelling.

Whether you’re drawn to the allure of supernatural creatures, the emotional depth of her characters, or the world-building that makes each setting feel alive, Mayer’s books are a window into a world where anything is possible.

Mayer’s success is a testament to her unwavering dedication to the craft of storytelling. She’s carved a niche for herself in the literary world by creating books that blend the fantastical with the deeply personal, creating worlds that are as captivating as they are transformative.
