Shaedes of Beasts
The consequences of everything that happened in Corynthia haunt the High Shaedes as they attempt to savor the peace their sacrifices purchased on behalf of the Seam. While everyone seems to be moving on, Opal remains shattered—broken in ways that no one else can even begin to understand.
Edmyn and Farris are more than willing to distract her battered heart, but soon are faced with more troubles of their own. The Moon King must continue to rebuild what the dragons destroyed, while Farris must deal with the return of an unwanted figure from his past, come to wound him anew.
What will happen when a mysterious and alluring purple Shaede appears at court and offers Opal a taste of something she’s never had before?
And will the Shaedes be able to maintain the frail peace they’ve secured even when faced with suspicious talking beasts from Jovii’s Isle invading their lands and making soul magic demands?
SHAEDES OF BEASTS continues the epic journey Opal and her friends are fated to take, as magic rules them and desire consumes them. Follow along to witness the beauty that only comes after healing and the scars that will help shape a whole new world. Fans of Holly Black, LJ Andrews, and Sarah J. Maas will devour this fast-paced dark romantasy series.

Jenny Grimes
In the quiet hours between bedtime stories and the hum of a busy household, Jenny Grimes built a world where magic pulses in every shadow and love walks a razor’s edge between salvation and ruin. A rising voice in fantasy romance, Grimes made her debut with Shaedes of Power, the first installment in the Soul Magic series—a world teeming with dark fae, forbidden magic, and the kind of slow-burning tension that keeps readers up long past midnight.
Raised in the United States, Grimes credits her lifelong love of fantasy to worn library paperbacks, midnight re-reads of Throne of Glass, and the spark of wonder she found in both fairytales and folklore. But it wasn’t until after becoming a mother—juggling art projects, travel dreams, and little hands tugging at her sleeves—that she started weaving stories of her own. Not just to escape, but to build something that reflected both the beauty and brutality of the worlds we imagine.
Soul Magic
In a realm where magic isn't just cast—it's bled, bartered, and bound by the soul—power is more curse than gift.
The Soul Magic series drags readers beneath the surface of a fractured fae world where every spell has a price, and even the shadows come alive with intent. At its center is Opal, a half-fae soulweaver whose magic defies tradition and terrifies those who would keep her in chains. Marked by exile and raised outside the rigid hierarchies of fae society, she returns not to find belonging, but to dismantle the truths she once believed were sacred.
Soul Magic consists of three books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
