      <image:title>Home - A Realm Of Ash and Shadow</image:title>
      <image:caption>Eighteen-year-old princess, Valeria Breault, is sure of three things. One, she was exiled from Empyrean because her father didn’t want the hassle of raising her. Two, her perfect realm would be better off without a mortal-raised smart-ass with a foul mouth and penchant for trouble. And three, neither of those things matter when a horde of demons crashes prom. Forced to fight for her life, Valeria narrowly escapes being captured by the Realm of the Forsaken, only to be dragged back to Empyrean before she is meant to return. Instead of the beautiful utopia from her bedtime stories, Val finds herself thrown into a hellish nightmare where the poor are dying, the rich are thriving, and her claim to the throne is in jeopardy. But not if Valeria can help it. The overwhelming desire to belong and a craving for power has her making choices that make it harder and harder to guard her heart against the man who’s bound to protect her, the god she’s vowed to hate, and the darkness that’s growing inside her. Only time will tell if the secrets she unravels and the alliances she makes will lead to the throne or the pyre.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Our Immortal Hearts</image:title>
      <image:caption>She is his ruination. He is her salvation. Destined for death, Rory Alarie’s life has never been her own. As Adelphi’s Sacrifice, every moment of every day is monitored by overbearing guards and a controlling family who will stop at nothing to ensure she remains obedient to the mortal kings. Except Rory harbors a secret--she doesn’t want to die. Not for her family, not for her kingdom, and certainly not so supernatural creatures can be eradicated from Norica.  Famed assassin Quill Godrickson doesn’t kill innocents. Yet when the vampire supreme threatens to kill all those he holds dear if he refuses, he accepts what’s supposed to be his easiest assignment yet—eliminate Adelphi’s Sacrifice before the mortal kings gain more power. However, when Quill arrives in Adelphi, he doesn’t expect to find himself irresistibly drawn to the one he’s meant to assassinate.   As Rory and Quill are caught between duty, desire, and death, it is Rory who must choose her final path: reluctantly die as Adelphi’s Sacrifice or allow Quill to turn her into one of the creatures she was raised to hate.   Our Immortal Hearts is the first book in Tales from the Wyldelands, a new collection of standalones featuring heart-pounding romance, glittering dark magic, and bloody intrigue, perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches, From Blood and Ash, and Throne of the Fallen.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Lara Buckheit holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Wilmington University, is a 2021 WriteMentor Mentee, an avid writer (and reader) of spice, and one time she met Taylor Swift’s dad. She started writing at a very young age, mostly fanfiction centered around women with swords and men with devilish grins. And she hasn’t stopped since. When not writing, Lara can be found drinking tea, reading from her endless TBR pile, and obsessing over any and all romance. Lara currently lives in Charlottesville, VA, with her husband, dog, and thirteen houseplants named after fictional characters.</image:caption>
