Braden Wanderer is living a plain, ordinary life as a trader in the ancient city of Jorvik, in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria, when one bitterly cold night, he is kidnapped from his family’s home. He is bound and taken to an inn where he meets his fierce captors, members of the Sidhe. The Sidhe are magical, savage, beautiful creatures, who aren’t particularly bad, but if you lived among them, it soon became clear that neither were they particularly good. Most people simply called them Faeries. They used their collective magic to create a parallel realm they called Otherworld and had long ago fled to this land after humans crowded them out.

Because Braden was born the illegitimate son of one of the Sidhe kings, he learns he must marry a rival king, the handsome Fionn the Fearless, to forge a new alliance between two kingdoms and set Fionn on a path to ultimate power over all of Otherworld.

When Braden mysteriously begins to attract deadly demonic activity, it raises the question, just who or what is Braden Wanderer? Braden has developed strong feelings for his new husband, which he fears are unreturned, and other dark and dangerous forces are moving against him. It will take a little magic and even a daring journey to hell itself to come out of this alive and find his happily ever after.

This is an adult dark fantasy romance about magic, demonic creatures, forbidden power, enemies-to-lovers tension, and dangerous secrets coming to light. It begins the Otherworldly series, a story of power, love and ultimate redemption.
