Welcome to the Courts in Conflict.
The Unseelie Heir’s
Claim
Courts in Conflict Book 3
by Elisa Rae
Genre: Light Fantasy Romance, Romantasy
The Unseelie throne is in crisis, and the whole Wild Wood is
in an uproar as the hunt is on for the missing heir. Kent is aware of the news,
and even the humans just beyond the borders of fae land have heard rumors. He
didn’t think it had anything to do with him. But then he comes home to a
Dullahan in his mother’s kitchen claiming Kent is the lost heir.
Rue doesn’t belong. Left on the doorstep of the foundling home as a baby, she
only knows she has some fae blood. Now an adult, she hides her differences from
the humans beneath a quiet demeanor. But that doesn’t stop her from seeing
magical things, like a glowing crown on the head of her new friend.
The Unseelie Heir’s Claim is a
light, fantasy romance novella about a relationship between an Unseelie and a
fae of mixed blood. It features a reluctant lost heir, fated mates, and a
romance between a noble and a servant, all played out against a backdrop of the
peril, politics, and uncertainty of the Unseelie Court in crisis.

Greyson nodded as though he had expected the question. “There has been an increased trade in human child abduction among the Unseelie, and I feared you allied with the smugglers supplying children to the slavers.”
“I thought the fae had banned human slavery.”
“They have.” Greyson’s mouth tightened as his brows lowered in a great frown. “But outlawing a behavior and preventing illegal practices are two different things.”
“Why does it matter to you?” I asked because it clearly did. His anger as he had realized Mela’s species struck me as fierce and genuine. “You are fae. Every fae I have encountered couldn’t care less about humans.”
“Not every fae,” Kent inserted.
I sighed. “I didn’t mean you.”
“Words matter,” he protested.
“They do. And binding words even more.” Leveling an annoyed glance at him, I pressed my lips together.
“Those words, I meant them.”
“No more bindings. I told you,” I shot back.
Kent attempted to appear at least a bit repentant. “I didn’t want him to get the wrong impression.”
“And what impression would that be?” I asked. “That we are bound more tightly than we are?” The implications of a binding made me uncomfortable after being on my own for so long.
Before Mela, no one cared about what happened to me; no one depended on me, and I had learned to accept that.
Then Mela arrived at the foundling home. Her needing me had been a drastic change in my life. She’d needed care and love, and I knew Mistress Prout wouldn’t offer that. So, I stepped in and provided what Mela needed.
To my complete surprise, Mela loved me in return. I had grown comfortable with that arrangement, and then Kent—I shook away the thought. We were bound now, and although I wasn’t sure I liked it, I needed to accept it and move forward.
The Fae King’s
Labyrinth
Courts in Conflict Book 2
Someone stole Azulin’s true name. Cursed to ride with the
Wild Hunt during each full moon, he is helpless against the Unseelie king’s
will. Over the years, the curse’s grip has strengthened, making Azulin’s magic
difficult to control. Fighting the curse has exhausted his spirit to the point
that he despairs of breaking its hold on him. Then one full moon, the curse
places him in a labyrinth, not a hunt. Perhaps this is his chance, or maybe
just a new form of torture.
Calypso is a shapeshifter who can’t change form. Living as an unpaid caregiver
and laborer in her sister’s household, her presence is barely tolerated in
their insular community. When a strange fae threatens her pregnant sister,
Calypso sacrifices herself. Perhaps an honorable death would give her life
purpose. Instead, she ended up fighting for her life in a pitch-black
labyrinth.

fantasy romance novella about a relationship between a Seelie fae and a mortal

against her life?
