Elice and Adar must break the fae curse that has bound their families as enemies - the same curse that threatens to tear them from each other's arms. But breaking the curse means making their own fae bargains. Bargains they may not survive. It's a risk they'll have to take, for failure means more than just destroying their own families - the fate of the world is at stake.
Of Sand and Storm
It's a dangerous game, and Cinder's freedom is the prize.
By law, any child born in Idara is free, even if that child is born in a slave brothel. Unfortunately for Cinder, she has grown into a beauty that surpasses even the renown of her mother and grandmother, making her far too valuable a commodity to lose. The slaveholder calls in Cinder’s debts, forcing her into a dangerous game where her very freedom is the prize.
As she prepares to do the impossible, she discovers that there is more at stake than she could have ever imagined. The game for her freedom is only a smaller move in a complex coup against the immortal Winter Queen. That discovery shifts her from a small piece to a major player. It’s not only her freedom, but the fate of an entire nation, that rests in her hands.
Daughter of Winter
Bargains. Only the desperate need them. Only the desperate make them. And always, the desperate pay.
The silence and never-ending dark of winter are all Elice has ever known, for she is the daughter of the Winter Queen. Isolated in a northern queendom, she dreams of color and music and life. So when a whaling ship crashes just offshore, she doesn't hesitate to rescue the lone survivor, Adar, who quickly becomes her friend. She must keep him hidden from her mother at all costs, for if the Winter Queen discovers him trespassing, she'll kill him.
When her mother reveals just how dark her soul has become, Elice realizes she is as much a prisoner as Adar. To ever know true freedom—to ever become the woman she was meant to be—she must flee with him. But in their flight, she begins to see hints of something more nefarious. The darkness that has taken hold of her mother is spreading, staining the world with its influence.
Unbeknownst to Elice, a bargain was made long ago. A bargain she was born to fulfill.
"A captivating series!" ~Jennifer A. Nielsen, NYT bestselling author, The False Prince
Winter’s Heir
A price must be paid.
Elice has left behind the ice and isolation of winter. Before her is the warmth and wonder of summer with all its color and life. Adar is by her side, his touch sending tendrils of heat where before there was only cold. She is finally free.
But all is not as it seems. There are secrets hidden in the heart of summer. Secrets that could burn Elice to the ground and take the whole world with her. The decades-long war between the queens of winter and summer has thrown off the balance of nature, leaving the world in its death throes.
Adar believes Elice can stop the destruction—if only she will listen to him. But like all fae bargains, that trust comes with a cost. And the price Elice will pay will tear asunder the boundaries between dreams and family, loyalty and betrayal.

Her bestselling books—spanning the Forbidden Forest, Fairy Queens, Witch Song, and Wild Heart Ranch series—are packed with fierce heroines, swoon-worthy romance, and lush, magical worlds that have captivated readers around the globe.

Amber grew up on a cattle ranch where she split her time between rodeo arenas and the basketball court. That same wild, untamable spirit lives in her heroines. A graduate of Utah State University (cum laude), Amber now balances a full-time career in marketing, a busy family, and the occasional existential threat posed by spiders.

If you love stories of resilient women, magical curses, and slow-burn romance in darkly enchanted worlds, Amber’s books are waiting to sweep you away.
