The Mirror's Hidden World
She finds an old mirror that acts as a portal to a hidden magical world. The mysterious ruler of this realm needs her help to stop shadow creatures from invading human lands.
The Ruler Behind the Glass
Iris inherits her grandmother's antique shop and immediately starts dreaming of a black-glass mirror she has never seen. When she finally finds it in the back of the shop, she touches the glass — and the world falls away. She wakes in a realm of silver forests and violet skies, where the ruler himself greets her like an old friend.
Shadow Creatures Rising
The Shadow Realm is not what she expected. It is beautiful, but it is wounded — shadow creatures are spilling through rifts in the boundary, and the realm's ruler, Kael, has been holding the line alone for decades. Iris is the first person in a hundred years to cross the boundary from the human world. He needs her not for her magic — she has none — but for the simple reason that she is the only one the boundary will let through.
Two Realms, One War
A beautifully built romantic fantasy that pairs a powerless human with a powerful magical ruler in unexpected ways. Iris's lack of magic forces her to be brave in human ways, and Kael's centuries of isolation give his connection to her real weight. The shadow realm is one of the most memorable settings in the genre.
