The Price of a Crown
Issa didn’t plan on candid photos of her exploits reaching her father. Now she must salvage her failing grades or return to court as the reluctant Heir to the
throne of Venatus.
With her reputation preceding her, and finding a tutor is impossible Issa strikes a deal with Emendare Rose in return for a favor.
Issa navigates prejudice, political expectations, and the perils of fame while stretching the limits of what she can achieve in half a semester. Together, she and Rose must challenge Venatus’s rigid social structures and embrace their unlikely alliance or lose this window of freedom and a foothold in the kingdom’s
political game.
The Price of a Crown, a prequel to the Secrets of Venatus Series, is an enemies-to-friends story set at a modern university. Fun banter and the power of friendship abound in this magical world with unexpected mythical creatures.

Ever tried convincing someone you've abducted that faking an engagement is for their protection?
Issa hadn't either, until she had to. But Hale had sprouted wings, and the Initiative was rounding up others like him off the streets in broad daylight. If he didn't accept her offer and help her figure out what was happening, he would be to. As the Heir, she could protect him.
He had to see reason right?
Hale just wanted to spend his days in the museum curating historical items and his nights handing with his roommate and their dog. But one minuscule cut changed all of that. Now he's fighting for his life and the lives of others like him while unraveling historical mysteries and saving the kingdom.
Oh, and trying not to fall in love. With the Heir, who abducted him.
As secrets unfurl and an ancient villain resurfaces, Issa and Hale must work together to defeat their enemies and regain her throne. But can they resist their growing feelings, or is it all just for show?
