Tenzing  grew up with stories regaling the healing powers of a flame-haired woman known as the Red Mother, Baba  Akaga. To save the royal line, Tenzing’s beloved sends him on an urgent  mission - to find Baba Akaga and bring her back to the Empire.  What he finds will change his life forever.

Odharnait  is a monster who longs to be human, on the run all of her adult life. She is a cursed rarity, an albino, known as the  Oni Shiro.  Her innate forbidden earth magic makes her dangerous to the Crown.  She maintains a semblance of humanity, hiding in plain sight, safe as long as she doesn't use the very thing that protects her.  She's escaped Lord Malagon, a scheming Duke fascinated with unsanctioned magic, once already.  If she uses magic, she may not be so lucky again.  Oni Shiro's peace is thwarted by a handsome stranger on an improbable quest.  

Will she risk her heart to save his life?

Kalevala is an awkward village girl living in the shadows of frosty Skaptaholt.  Her unerring physical prowess and remarkable skill with a sling make her a target for evil Lord Malagon, a collector of oddities, who sends mercenaries to collect his "prizes" across the Realm. When she unwittingly releases a shapeshifter from a curse, it sets in motion a series of events that threatens a return of the war between the races ...and reveals Kalevala's true nature, ready or not.

 Calix Corax is a classically-trained Master Magician from the capital city.  Caught spying for the High King during the Winter Wars, the shapeshifter was doomed to live forever in his raven form by Louhi, Witch Queen of the Frost Giants. His only hope - a kiss from a true princess.  Unexpectedly, Kalevala set him free.  Now the Crown, the Witch Queen and Malagon all want her at any cost.  

Can Calix and Kalevala overcome their mutual dislike to save the Realm - and each other?

 Baba  Akaga, the Red Mother, is the name given to the mysterious flame-haired  woman who appears in the Empire from across the Far Seas to save the  Emperor's wife during childbirth.  She agrees to stay and share her  skills with the foremost adepts of the Palace under the watchful eye of  the irritating Pal Din, careful not to give away all of her secrets, and  most definitely not her heart. Pal Din,  the head of the Emperor's Elite Guard is tasked with watching over the  foreigner with the flashing eyes and impertinent smile.  He is steadfastly loyal to the throne.  Pal Din doesn't trust the woman's methods or her motives.  He's determined to uncover her treachery.  After all, in the old stories, the demons always had red hair.   

 Tannith  is a crofter's daughter who lives alone, barren.  The village crops are  failing. The fields are flooded with brackish water, ruining the  plants. In place of her childhood friend, Tannith agrees be sacrificed  by the priests as a harvest offering to appease the Marsh King.    She  is resigned to her fate, happy to save Ara's life. Preachaun  is the Marsh King, an ignoble title given to him by the capricious far  darrig fairies after he loses a wager based on foolish pride.  He lives  at the edge of a swamp  by the sea, cursed to remain there forever until  a mortal woman professes her love for him, unbidden.  Preachaun was trained to  fight, not to woo.  Where will he find a mortal woman, and if he does,  can he manage the impossible?  

Beautiful  Alys refuses an arranged match with the arrogant Lord Viggo.  As  punishment, her wealthy merchant father sends Alys to the cloister steps  rather than pay for her tattoo.  He wants Lord Viggo to chose Alys for  the fertility rite, forcing the issue. Only it's the older sister, a  honey-eyed acolyte, who stands before Viggo once they are in the  Sanctuary.  
Lorisa  will do anything for her sister, even switch places to keep Alys from a  loveless marriage.  She begs the saturnine man to complete the  rite with her instead, pretending it was Alys he bedded.  Lord Viggo  agrees on one condition - that Lorisa continue to warm his bed as his  wife in place of Alys.  If she breaks her sacred vows, will he break her  foolish heart?
