Character Art: Mellissa & Michael

Excited to share this new character illustration from the:

Tales of the Black Rose Guard series!

Mellissa is a Princess of the Immortal Lorcan Court. She is a rose heir, and enchanted roses transform to royal purple when she is near.

Her husband, Prince Michael, is a brave and heroic knight who served as Captain of the Royal Guard before winning the heart of his princess.

Illustration by: Barn-Swallow Art

A woman with no memory of her past. Another unable to forget. Both haunted by a sinister creature of roses and shadow with an unquenchable thirst for royal blood. Welcome to the world of the Black Rose. 

***

Six hundred years ago, Mara, the immortal captain of the Black Rose Guard, led her knights to their greatest victory: the annihilation of the Muir Court. For avenging a fallen princess, she was hailed a hero. Yet for Mara, the mirror reflected only a killer.

Haunted by the slaughter carried out in the name of honor and duty, Mara hoped she had fought her last battle. But when a mysterious girl arrives pleading for aid, Mara’s dream of peace shatters as the blood roses begin to bloom.

Determined to save the young woman for whom the long-dormant roses have awakened, Mara dons her ancient Arius blade, and prepares to once again lead her men into a fight from which they may never return.

All the while, Mara’s enemies prepare to exploit her greatest weakness: the life of her only love, Edward. Her sole warning is whispered in shadows: Beware the Silver Rose.

Daughters of the Rose – Now Available!

Cover by: Skyla Dawn Cameron

A princess for whom the immortal roses bloom.
A queen for whom they wither.
A hero bound to both. 

***

Centuries before Mara held her first blade, another princess dreamt of knighthood. Born second in line to the throne, Clarissa envisioned a life unfettered by protocol. Under the tutelage of the royal guard, she thrived while being trained in the art of swordplay and the knights’ ancient codes of honor.

When her elder brother dies unexpectedly, Clarissa’s destiny is forever altered, thrusting her onto a throne she never desired. In her new position as queen, Clarissa is forced to make choices benefiting the Lorcan kingdom, at the cost of straining the delicate relationship with her remaining family.

Protected from the throne’s demands, Clarissa’s younger sister, Princess Mellissa, is allowed to follow her heart’s desires. Envious of her sister’s freedom, a deep-seated jealousy brews in Clarissa—an envy that grows as Mellissa marries her love, Captain Michael, and bears him a child while Clarissa, desperate to provide the kingdom an heir, remains barren.

When Clarissa’s anger threatens his family, Michael devises a plan, which will not only irrevocably alter the fate of the daughter he seeks to save from the queen’s twisted wrath, but the destiny of the immortal courts.
