A human woman with a forbidden gift. Their worlds are broken, and only together can they survive. Hawke Stormblood, heir to Avalon’s Fae throne, must marry and lead his people.

Hawke must convince Melinda to trust him, to believe in their connection, and to embrace the bond that could save both their worlds. But she’s terrified—everyone she loves dies, and she can’t risk losing him too. As their enemies close in and Avalon teeters on the brink of war, they must face an impossible choice: save their love, or save their realms.

The magical saga of the women behind King Arthur's throne. “A monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends . . . reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience. . . .

Book One in the Twilight of Avalon Trilogy She is a healer, a storyteller, a warrior, and a queen without a throne. In the shadow of King Arthur's Britain, one woman knows the truth that could save a kingdom from the hands of a tyrant... Ancient grudges, old wounds, and the quest for power rule in the newly widowed Queen Isolde's court. Hardly a generation after the downfall of Camelot, Isolde grieves for her slain husband, King Constantine, a man she secretly knows to have been murdered by the scheming Lord Marche -- the man who has just assumed his title as High King. Though her skills as a healer are renowned throughout the kingdom, in the wake of Con's death, accusations of witchcraft and sorcery threaten her freedom and her ability to bring Marche to justice. Burdened by their suspicion and her own grief, Isolde must conquer the court's distrust and superstition to protect her throne and the future of Britain. One of her few allies is Trystan, a prisoner with a lonely and troubled past. Neither Saxon nor Briton, he is unmoved by the political scheming, rumors, and accusations swirling around the fair queen. Together they escape, and as their companionship turns from friendship to love, they must find a way to prove what they know to be true -- that Marche's deceptions threaten not only their lives but the sovereignty of the British kingdom. In Twilight of Avalon, Anna Elliott returns to the roots of the legend of Trystan and Isolde to shape a very different story -- one based in the earliest written versions of the Arthurian tales -- a captivating epic brimming with historic authenticity, sweeping romance, and the powerful magic of legend.

After my parents' divorce, my mom moved on with her yoga-teaching boyfriend and my dad threw himself into work leaving me to figure out how to navigate my new reality on my own. Transitioning from an all-girls school in Malibu to the elite Arlington Park Academy in the suburbs of Chicago means more changes than I can handle. I feel like I'm drowning, losing myself...craving the sense of belonging I lost. Then the overly enthusiastic class president and my next-door neighbor, Emily, claimed me as her new best friend and broke through my fragile walls before I could even get out my name. She took me to a party that changed my life, I met the most popular kids of the Academy and the group of guys that made me feel like I found my home. Luca, the one that saved me. Skyler, the one that made me laugh. Noah, the one challenged me. Vince, that one that understood me. And Gavin, the one that included me. Too bad Emily and her friends don't exactly get along with the guys. I can balance both groups. I have to. I can't risk losing anyone else. Especially since the guys say they know the reason I survived the accident that killed her brother and best friend.
