The Raven at the Ash Door
Can love survive an unbreakable curse?
Kierse McKenna’s magic is bound to a man she hates―one who has spent lifetimes fighting the man she loves.
To end this binding, Graves―her winter god, her monster―will stop at nothing. He discovers that the only hope of freeing Kierse is to locate a stone relic of legend, rumored to lift any curse.
The only problem? The stone has been missing for a century.
And the Oak King is on their trail.
Now Kierse is trapped at the heart of a centuries-long battle while the rest of the world comes unraveled. The Fae Killer is hunting. The peace with monsters is fracturing. And as the very rules of their myth start to shift, escaping the Oak King’s hold may demand more than stolen artifacts and clever heists.
For Kierse and Graves, it may mean risking the only thing they have left to lose.
But the battle for Kierse’s heart―and the fate of the Oak and Holly kings―doesn't end here. The Oak & Holly Cycle will continue in Books 4 and 5.

K.A. Linde
K.A. Linde's writing invites readers to step into worlds where love is anything but simple. Her novels pulse with the kind of raw emotion and complex relationships that keep readers turning pages late into the night, eagerly seeking both the heartache and the hope her stories deliver. Known for her contemporary romance and fantasy, Linde's work balances intense passion with moments of vulnerability, creating a distinctive voice that resonates deeply with fans.
Born into a military family, Linde's childhood was anything but static. Moving frequently across the United States, with a brief stint in Australia, she learned early on the art of adaptation. But more than just adjusting to new places, she discovered her love for creating stories—imaginary worlds to ground herself when the world around her was ever-changing. By the age of 14, she had penned her first novel—a 90,000-word story sparked by a geography assignment—and from that moment, the idea of writing became inseparable from her identity.
The Oak and Holly Cycle
Step into a world where the magic of ancient myths intertwines with the harsh realities of a hidden society—The Oak and Holly Cycle is a spellbinding series that draws readers into a shadowed realm where trust is fragile, and the line between friend and foe blurs with every turn. This is not a story of light and dark, but of the gray spaces in between, where power, love, and betrayal all play their parts in a game no one is prepared for.
The Oak and Holly Cycle consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
