Forged in battle. Bred for war. She will live by the feather and die by the sword.
When Badb, the eldest daughter of the Tuatha queen, is forced to marry the enemy Fomorian warlord to secure peace between their warring tribes, she knows it’s no alliance—it’s a death sentence disguised in diplomacy. Her mother wants her exiled, broken, silenced—and the Fomoire want her dead.
But Badb is a warrior. She does not bend easily. Not to her mother’s cruel commands, not to the Fomoire who despise her Tuatha bloodline, and certainly not to Neit, the giant warlord who hasn’t yet realized the most ruthless blade in this war now sleeps in his bed.
For Badb, her sisters are all she cares about. That, and escaping the prison her mother has locked her in. But in the dark, behind closed doors, her hatred for Neit turns to heat, and every brutal clash of power between them only deepens the blistering hunger neither of them dares name.
Yet, even as that fire threatens to consume them, the world around them starts to burn.
As the fragile peace splinters, and the Fomoire court rots from within, war looms—bloody and inevitable. And when the secret Badb carries is finally revealed, it ignites the final spark, forcing both warrior and warlord to confront who they truly are.
Facing a future without her sisters and the man she never meant to love, Badb realizes she must rise. Not as a daughter or a bride—but as who she was always meant to be.
Because peace is a lie. Power is pain. And love always demands sacrifice.
Badb is the first book in a dark romantasy trilogy inspired by the myths and legends of the Irish triple goddess, The Morrígan. It tells the origin story of the eldest sister—the one they call Badb Catha, the Battle Crow. At its heart, it’s an enemies-to-lovers romance about a warrior queen who doesn’t need saving—except from herself—and the cost of forging peace in a world built for war.
