The Betrayer: Tales of Pern Coen

A power hungry king willing to make a deal with a Dark Spirit to get what he most craves.
 

An outcast king who could lose everything if his secret is revealed.
 

A broken warrior who will have to decide which brother will win her loyalty and her heart.

Niall never imagined he would become king, nor did he ever imagine that he would be granted a powerful gifting from the Spirits. His unnatural power, however, has proven to be no great gift, for it has already cost him the woman he loves and it threatens to cost him his kingship. His people already don't trust him and if they knew of his power, they would view him as nothing more than a monster. He fears that his biggest danger lies within his own court, but what he doesn't know is that trouble is brewing in the north and it's being stirred by his own brother.

Bleddyn seeks power above all else, and when an enigmatic village outcast offers him the chance to bring the power of the Dark Spirit, Cigfran, to his side, he can't resist such a temptation. With Cigfran's power, he could control not only his own kingdom of Seabhac, but his brother's kingdom as well. And one day, perhaps even the entire island of Pern Coen. It will only require the sacrifice of his soul, if he's willing to give it.

After being deemed unfit to be a warrior, Ciara's confidence is shattered. As the niece of one of Pern Coen's most famous warrior queens, she struggles deeply with devastating. As her life falls to pieces, the one man she trusted the most has hidden himself away in his castle, and it's his brother who's found his way to her side. Bleddyn has shown Ciara that perhaps there's more to him than she first believed, but a dark power is stirring on the island and Ciara's warrior instincts tell her that it isn't to be ignored. 

One man is at the center of the growing darkness, but is it the man that Ciara, and the people, think? For someone has sworn an oath to Cigfran, and with that oath, threatens the island's very future. 

This Celtic inspired epic romantic fantasy features strong world building, a broody outcast king, a broken warrior heroine, sibling rivalry, political intrigue, dark magic, found family, and a low spice romance.
