The Moonfire Bride is book one of a two-part fae romance inspired by the myth of “Hades and Persephone” as well as “Eros and Psyche.” Read today if you’re craving a dark, swoon-worthy hero and a sweet, slow-burn romance with just a touch of steam!

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Cruel Prince, this tale of a human girl stolen to be the bride of a doomed fae lord is irresistibly romantic!

Hers is a life without magic or romance. Until the night he whispers her name.

For years, Valera has worked weary hours as a seamstress just to keep food on the table. She would give her all to protect her little sister from the cruelties of the world . . . and the tantalizing lure of the fae forest. One day, she fears, the fae will spirit her sister away, and how can Valera hope to stop them?

Then the fae come. Not for her sister . . . but for her.

Trapped in a magnificent palace far from her own world, Valera finds herself the unwilling bride of an enigmatic fae lord. He claims he won’t harm her and vows to return her home after a year and a day if she honors one rule: she must never see his face.

Determined to return to her sister at all costs, Valera struggles to unravel the mystery of her so-called husband. Why does he so desperately need a wife? And why her specifically? Torn between love, duty, and the unexpected freedom she finds in this strange new world, Valera must fight to find her place.

But will a burgeoning passion for the unseen figure in the shadows be her undoing?

The Moonfire Bride (Exclusive Edition)

With a sudden growl, he rolls on top of me, his knee braced beside my hipbone, his hands pressed into the furs on either side of my face. My heart leaps, not with fear, but with an excitement equally heady and thrilling.
He lowers himself, his muscled torso pressing against my heaving bosom. His breath warms my shoulder, and I can almost feel the shape of his lips hovering just above my skin. He turns his head, and my neck prickles in response to a touch that does not happen. My eyelashes flutter. I’m not sure I’ll ever catch my breath.
“Valera,” he says. His voice is almost a command.
I look up. I can’t see him, but I can feel him. His face is near. Mere fractions of an inch separate his lips from mine.
I close my eyes again. The precipice yawns before me. I stand on the brink, and one more half-step will send me falling, falling, down into the mystery, down to discover either delight or terror, I can hardly fathom which.
If he would only bend a little more! Plant his lips against mine, take the moment of decision away entirely. Does he know how weak I am? How my blood races, how my skin sparks with anticipation? Does he know how easily I would succumb?
But he remains poised where he is, his breathing ragged.
“Valera,” he rasps, “may I kiss you?”

About

Sylvia Mercedes

Sylvia Mercedes makes her home in the idyllic North Carolina countryside with her handsome husband, numerous small children, and the feline duo affectionately known as The Fluffy Brothers. When she’s not writing she’s . . . okay, let’s be honest. When she’s not writing, she’s running around after her littles, cleaning up glitter, trying to plan healthy-ish meals, and wondering where she left her phone. In between, she reads a steady diet of fantasy novels.

But mostly she’s writing.

After a short career in Traditional Publishing (under a different name), Sylvia decided to take the plunge into the Indie Publishing World and is enjoying every minute of it.
