My magic, my coven, even the child I carried. I should have died when I fell from the sky. Instead, I woke in the fae realm of Vanir, broken in body and spirit, with nothing left but grief and the faint tether to the people I lost.
Fate isn’t finished with me.
The father I never knew claims me as his heir, and the Night Court demands I prove myself worthy. To survive, I must face four trials that will test the very pieces of me I no longer believe exist. Trials that force me to confront who I was, what I’ve lost, and the power that still burns inside me.
I don’t walk this path alone. My wolf mate refuses to leave my side, even as the fae warrior assigned to guard me stirs a dangerous, reluctant fire between us. Together, they are my anchor and my undoing.
I may be broken. I may be grieving, but I will not be erased.
Not by a queen who wants me dead.
Not by a goddess who once stripped me bare, and not by a world that never believed I could rise.
These are my trials. My reckoning, and I will survive them, no matter what it takes.
The Trials of Esme is a standalone dark romantasy set in the HellNnight Academy Universe, featuring fated mates, a grief-laced love triangle, and a heroine’s journey to reclaim lost magic, identity, and power.
