The Hestaesia Series


For an age, the frozen plane of Hestaesia has been consumed by the war between faerie and demon. The demon people have long been ruled by the iron fist of the opulent faerie kingdom, Awrelwood.

Many great wars have been fought and lost as demonkind attempt to throw off the shackles of Awrelwood's oppression. With each generation, a new war has been waged, led by a well-meaning, valiant demon king - yet none have ever succeeded.

The six-part Hestaesia series follows the tale of demon king Zelrus Dawnoaken and his half-faerie brother, Oriel, as they attempt to free their people, with a little help from their friends, once and for all.

Our heroes, alongside their brave and beautiful heroines, unusual allies and some powerful majick, embark on what promises to be the war to end all wars.

In a world of two halves, can love conquer all?

Raxx, an elusive shadow demon, is sent to locate a missing band of soldiers after an ambush by the faerie king. However, instead of his fellow demons, Raxx finds Faye.

Faye is the faerie king’s youngest daughter, and she’s on her own mission to bring her runaway sister home. Faye’s radiant skin marks her as a faerie, a dangerous thing in demon territory, and there’s a strong chance she could be captured or even killed should someone discover her true identity.

The two soon realise that Raxx’s commander is travelling with Faye’s sister, away from the faerie capital and towards the demon king’s compound. They'll need to put aside their differences and work together if there is to be any chance of finding them, let alone living through this.

As tensions build, so does the curiosity Raxx and Faye feel for one another. Even more curious is the fact that when they touch, sparks literally start flying…

For years, their lives are punctuated by Oriel’s infrequent visits - spending a few short weeks in paradise before he has to return to the demon city of Banesteppe. Their love seems infallible, marred only by Indi’s insistence to experience city life and the dark shadow of Oriel’s insecurities.

Upon discovering her relationship with Oriel is not as perfect as she once thought, Indi accepts the help of witch and coven harbinger Tabitha. Under Tabitha’s bold influence, Indi starts a journey to decide who she really is and discovers there is life outside of love.

Powerless to Resist
 

Since betraying his king and leaving Awrelwood, things have been less than ideal for the faerie captain, Quinn Morgwell. He has turned his back on all he knew, and though he has sworn his allegiance to the demon king, no one is in a rush to trust him.

But Morgwell has a trick up his sleeve - a mysterious, ancient power that renders him invulnerable to majick.

Coven harbinger and fearless witch Tabitha arrives in Rosenhall Castle alongside the demon king and his cohorts, ready for war. With her powerful coven sisters at her side, the witch is confident in their success and doubts nothing… Until she meets Captain Morgwell.

From their first meeting, Tabitha has her heart (and nethers) set on the handsome faerie, but to her surprise Morgwell is in no hurry to return her affections. The telepathy she has grown so reliant upon ceases to function, leaving the proud witch with no choice but to woo the captain the old-fashioned way.

In no time, Tabitha realises she has bitten off more than she can chew with the handsome faerie captain. When her majickal protection fails, the witch finds herself having to make an impossible choice between betraying a powerful ally, or sacrificing everything that she holds dear.

Has the powerful witch finally met her match, or will she triumph in both love
and war?
