“Smart, sexy, and absolutely memorable . . .” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of A Very Bad Thing
“[A] fizzy, flirty, and fun space opera . . .” —Yume Kitasei, author of The Stardust Grail
Let’s get one thing straight: I am not your chosen one.
Forty-five-year-old Imogen has always struggled to fit in, never finding her passion in life. And while that may include having cold feet in her impending nuptials, that doesn’t mean she’s ready to ditch planet Earth—and her entire life—completely.
When Imogen is kidnapped by an alien prince in disguise, there’s nothing she can do to stop him. He’s sidhe—a being with powerful abilities—and he’s grown up used to getting what he wants. The prince is convinced Imogen will fall in love with him, and that her new powers, once she’s turned sidhe, will help his country win a centuries-old feud.
With the help of the prince’s much more tolerable brother, Imogen starts to get her feet back under her, but even he can’t protect her from those who would use her for her powers. If Imogen can’t find a way to fight for herself, she’ll become a pawn in a world that has already decided what she’s going to be.
For readers who enjoy From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Faebound by Saara El-Arifi, and the Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas.

Meredith R. Lyons

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF ROMANTASY, PARANORMAL, SCI-FI, & FANTASYI started writing at a young age and always loved stories that I got lost in and characters who became my friends. I wrote my first novel at thirteen, in pencil, on that gray, recycled paper they had in the ‘90s. I still have the pages. All 636 of them. In high school and college, I also pursued passions in theatre, painting, and piano, and my writing took on a more practical bent. I became a yearbook section editor, which lead to a second degree in Mass Communication. (My first was in Theatre, of course.) I wrote for online publications like CBS Local and Examiner.com before finally starting my first blog. I got serious about fiction writing in 2018 and since then have written nine novels, all with a fantasy or speculative bent.My debut novel Ghost Tamer was released on September 19, 2023, is an Amazon Editors’ Pick, an IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Gold Winner for Best SciFi Fantasy, an IPPY Award Gold Winner for Best First Book, and a Silver Falcion Award Winner for Best Supernatural and Best Book of 2023. It’s available in Hardcover, Paperback, Large Print Paperback, eBook, and audiobook wherever books are sold. A Dagger of Lightning is a fantasy (with a spaceship on top and a slow burn romance tucked inside) released April 1st, 2025 and is available in Hardcover, eBook, and audiobook. Both titles are traditionally published with CamCat Books.
