A Storm of Death and Desire

Two spellbinding novellas in the Lady of Darkness series: THE REAPER and UNRELENTING WINDS

Unrelenting Winds

For centuries, the Great War that divided the realm has been over. The Fae Courts and mortal lands alike have been rebuilding, trying to move forward in a world they no longer recognize. When the Wind Princess requests a meeting with Prince Briar Drayce, ruler of the Water Court, he naturally accepts. He’s always kept the peace, but the aloof princess makes a request of him that may be too much. Now he must decide if it’s worth the risk of angering the Fae Courts, the realm, the gods, and more.

The Reaper

Before he was the Fire Court Third, he was the Reaper.

And before he was the Reaper, he was her Ash Rider. Moranna. The Baroness of a colony hidden away on the Southern Islands.

Rayner has always believed that she works tirelessly to keep some the Fae safe.

When he learns the Baroness's darkest secrets he vows to put an end to her and everything she has created on the islands. But he finds himself the center of a curse as punishment for his rebellion.

The path back to vengeance is wrought with violence, grief, and unexpected allies, and Rayner knows better than anyone: Some nightmares never end.

let do the easy bit, there wasn't really anything that I didn't like, i was sad when it had finished.
The mind of this author is so indepth, the story lines were absolutely amazing. This whole series had me completely engrossed & I just couldn't stop listening to it.

Absolutely mind blowing

It was absolutely lovely seeing more of the stories from some of the main characters in the Lady Of Darkness series, Rayner's story was heartbreaking as I expected it would be but it helps to understand how he became the beautiful soul he doesn't think he is, honestly I would love a novella or him to be included in a future story where he a Tula find his mate as I think I'd absolutely melt! Out of the two stories in this book I didn't think I'd enjoy Briar and Ashtin's so much (only because I adore Rayner) but it was beautiful 💗I love them both but Briar was so so sweet,

A must if you've done the Lady Of Darkness series

This wonderfully insightful addition provides the backstory for not only Rayner, but also Ashtine and Briar's love story origin. The characters Melissa creates are so deep, the lore she brings always astounds me. It was so informative to hear of Rayner's past and answers a lot of questions you may have had about the ash rider, from the darkness series. Getting to see how Briar saved Ashtine from her winds and helped ground her was such a beautiful insight too. The Q&A at the end literally made me sob. This series did save me and changed my life so I'm eternally grateful to Melissa for creating this truly breathtaking series.

A beautiful addition to the series
