A forgotten garden is waking. A kingdom is being swallowed by blight. And the Queen of Seelie must decide how much of her own heart she’s willing to sacrifice to save her people.

After months of battling the forbidden dreams tying her to the King of Hell, Seren Sloane has more than enough emotional turmoil to contend with—but her personal guilt becomes the least of her worries when villages across Seelie are found coated in a creeping, oily black infection.

The blight seeps up from the ground, winding through roots, forests, and fields before covering the Fey themselves in slick darkness. Plants wither, magic falters, and entire communities are left frozen where they stood, encased in a living shadow that spreads faster each day.
The source?
The Garden of Regret—an ancient creation made to strengthen the royals of Fairy, now starving after centuries of neglect.

What was once a sacred place meant to balance the royals is now consuming Fairy.
As Seren, King Tiernan, and their regiment track the blight’s path from village to village, they uncover long-buried truths about Danu, the cost of emotional magic, and the purpose the Garden once served. But whatever force has reawakened it is demanding tribute: the pain, grief, and regret of the Fey.
If Seren refuses, the Garden will take what it needs by force—draining their people of every emotion that makes them whole.

Worse, Astaroth’s lingering presence in Seren’s dreams is straining her marriage at the very moment she needs her husbands united. Love, loyalty, and old wounds collide as the blight forces every Fey to confront the emotions they’ve spent lifetimes avoiding.

To save her kingdom, Seren must enter the heart of the Garden itself and face the one thing she fears more than any enemy:
Her own regret.

Epic, emotional, and steeped in Fey lore, The Garden of Regret delivers high-stakes fantasy, deep court intrigue, powerful magic, and a heroine whose heart is both her greatest strength and her greatest danger.
