A Cat's Promise

Every legend begins with a lie. Hers begins with a curse.

In the hidden kingdom of Caillte - the word humans use for lost - magic is inheritance before it is gift. Leona Silver was born wrong twice over: crimson-haired in a line of silver, and marked by a power that draws blood long before it answers to her.

One stolen grimoire and a reckless spell later, Leona is trapped in the body of a cat - and the knight sworn to protect her breaks the barrier that has hidden Caillte for generations, carrying a cursed princess into a world that was never meant to see her.

Beyond that barrier, magic isn't a birthright. It's a death sentence. And the deeper Leona is pulled - into Fae courts, veiled isles, and a war her own kingdom erased from its history - the more she learns that everyone has been keeping a piece of the truth from her: her bloodline, her mother, and Felle, the ancient Fae king who mocks her, unsettles her, and knows far too much about who she really is.

He tells her the curse will kill her by the next full moon.

He doesn't tell her why he refuses to let her die alone.

Secrets of the Kingdom is the first book in A Cat's Promise, a complete four-book adult dark fantasy saga of forbidden magic, buried history, dangerous devotion, and promises that refuse to die.
