The QuickSilver Codex Series

~ Magic, vampires, a secret realm... a new world awaits Vivien. Is she up for the challenges that come with it?~ Everything changes for 20-year-old Vivien when she steps into a terrifying knife fight. She can only watch in horror as her long-time crush and classmate, Brad, kills a man. Except, it’s not Brad but his twin brother who wields that knife. After he ushers her to safety, he and Brad tell her a story of a princess in hiding from a tyrant. A story in which she is the princess. As Vivien’s bodyguards, Brad and Aedan’s duty is to protect her from the usurper king. Now they have to convince her it’s time to reclaim her throne - not an easy feat when everything Aedan says antagonizes Vivien, while Brad lets his love and desire for her overwhelm him. All Vivien wants is to return to Earth with Brad and forget this dangerous world. But if that’s her choice, they will all pay a heavy price... (60.000 words)

~ She won her first battle... but the war is only starting. ~ Raised on Earth, Vivien had no idea she was heir to a magical realm until her bodyguards, Brad and Aedan, revealed themselves to her and took her to her family’s ancestral castle. Her first confrontation with Rhuinn, the tyrant who usurped the throne, ended better than could be hoped and she won a few days of respite until she has to appear at the royal court again. Before she does, however, she’ll need to break through the mental block that stops her from mastering the Quickening, the magical force that rules the lives of humans and vampires. Doing so, she will prove herself a worthy successor to her mother, the first step in finding the allies she desperately needs. The most difficult part, however, might be to follow Aedan’s advice and learn to act like a queen when she’s still reluctant to claim the throne. Her love for Brad and the trust he placed in her keep her in Foh’Ran... but a treacherous attack might send her new world crashing around her. (60.000 words)

~ She watched the man she loved die. Now she has to learn to live with him again. ~ Five days. That’s how long 20-year-old Vivien has to prepare for the first of three magic duels against Rhuinn, the usurper king of Foh’Ran. She challenged him to the duels not because she wants the throne, although it is her birthright, but because she wants revenge for the death of Brad – one of her bodyguards, and the man she loves. Except that Brad is alive again... or almost. His brother Aedan, rather than losing him, broke all customs and made him a vampire like himself, a decision that might cost him dearly when his own Maker confronts him. While Vivien is overjoyed to have a new chance to be with Brad, Aedan’s disapproval of their relationship reaches new heights. Brad’s new vampire instincts are strong, and his hunger for blood is hard – if not impossible – to control. The two brothers swore an oath to protect Vivien, but one of them might be the greatest threat to her safety... at least for the next five days... (65.000 words)

~ Who would have thought finding out she’s royalty and has magical powers would make Vivien’s life so complicated? ~ When Vivien challenged the tyrannical king Rhuinn for the throne, she wanted to reclaim her birthright and avenge her lover, Brad, whose human life ended on Rhuinn’s orders. But now that she has lost the first of three magical duels and Brad has left her to learn to control his vampire instincts, everything seems to be falling apart. For Aedan, her bodyguard, watching Vivien stop believing in herself is just as difficult as watching her pine for his twin brother. He lifts her spirits by showing her all that she fights for, but mending her heart isn’t so easy, especially since he loves her but wouldn’t dream of acting on his feelings. Everything accelerates with a fit of temper from Rhuinn that brings chaos to Vivien’s life, and death to her people. She battles Rhuinn for the second time... but the aftermath of the duel, as she confronts her feelings for both brothers, might prove even more deadly... (70.000 words) Part 4 of the QuickSilver Codex
