The Series So Far…
“People will do the most dangerous things and make the darkest deals for the ones they love.”
Devon Rionnaghan thought he had everything under control.
After years of war against a demonic horde that nearly cost his brother’s life and stole his chance at happiness in the Outworld, all he wanted was some peace and quiet. Not the prestige, not the accolades, and definitely not his father’s throne.
But then she stumbled back into his life and turned everything around.
Made the sun shine brighter again.
Made his dreams vivid again.
Until she found out his dark little secret…and he found out hers.
Roxi doesn’t know if she can ever look at him the same way again, and Devon doesn’t know if he stands a chance against the scarred memories of abuse and torment she suffered at the hands of a shapeshifter. If they’re going to make it through, the secrecy and lies must end—even if the truth is more painful than either of them are ready for.
The only problem is, they’re not the only ones with secrets.
And the mysterious man who controls darkness itself and announces he’s the ruler of an empire that doesn’t exist…
…isn’t the only one who struck a bargain with the devil.
Moving to Chicago should have felt like a dream come true, but for Roxanna Lovegood, it’s a last-ditch effort to run away from a nightmarish past.
When mysterious creatures break into her new apartment, curiosity leads her to a puzzling artifact buried under the floorboards. It takes her from the shores of Lake Michigan to the forest of a distant realm where she’s surrounded—and threatened—by people and creatures she’s only heard of in fairytales.
Devon is a mischievous fae determined to figure out how Roxi wound up there to begin with. He’s even more determined to send her back home. There are secrets to keep and his own set of wounds unwilling to heal, and the last thing he wants or needs is this outsider questioning—and challenging—everything he thought he knew.
There’s just one teensy-weensy problem.
Despite the shadows lurking in every corner...
...despite the growing threat of demons prowling the land...
...and despite the cutthroat High Court’s manipulation...
...the longer Roxi stays in the realm of the fae…
...the less either of them wants her to leave.

“Roxi…” Devon breathed her name like a prayer against her skin. His brow rested on hers as they both caught their breath, and she felt his smile. He stroked her curls back from her face and then, as if on second thought, pressed a warm kiss to the outer corners of each eye.
“To see the heavens in your eyes, mo shíorghrá; there is no greater beauty in all the realms.”
"Ithandryll is the first book in the Song of the Sidhe series, and blends fantasy with romance in a compelling manner that promises an epic read to both genre fans…The dance between a stubborn human who taps her deepest resources to survive in this strange new land and a captivating stranger who introduces her to his world and her family makes for an engrossing story filled with numerous memorable characters and satisfying twists and turns of plot.
Libraries and readers seeking the intersection of epic fantasy and romance will find Ithandryll nicely developed, compelling in its vision of disparate people forced to tap their inner desires and heritages in order to survive, and hard to put down."-Midwest Book Review
“I thought I was going to lose you. Really lose you.”
“Me, too.”
“Yeah?”
She leaned back enough to peer up at him. “Of course. Why do you think I went with him?”
“You…” Devon swallowed. Tested his dry tongue before speaking again. “You went with him.”
“Yes. To get him away from you.” She matched his frown with her own. “I thought he was going to kill you.”
A strangled sigh rolled through Devon’s chest. He slid his hands up her body, smoothing over her soft form to remind him that she was here, she was fine. He caressed her face with both hands. “If anyone is going to kill me, it’s probably going to be you. From the stress. Of making rash decisions like running off with homicidal maniacs.”
About the author
As a cultural anthropologist with a focused background in archaeology and global folklore, Nikki weaves real-world discoveries and intercultural theories into her fictional works. Every novella, book, and series combine fantasy storytelling with "what if?" concepts, from the fae folk living in (and potentially having built) downtown Chicago to the mythological Fomorians existing within marginalized communities around the world.
After living in Chicago before, during, and after the 2020 pandemic, she entered her "Stars Hollow Phase" and relocated to a small village cluster in Iowa known as The Amana Colonies. She started an indie bookstore, Fae•ble, which is currently a "pop-up situation" inside the village's new herbs & tea shop, Serenity Sage.
On any given day, Nikki can be found sipping handcrafted coffee, singing to her vegetable garden, faceplanting on her laptop keyboard, and/or whispering to the kobolds who live in her home.
