Enter the realm of fantasy...
...find courage and hope.
Margaret Gaffney Fantasy Books
"I'm always irritated by people who imply that writing fiction is an escape from reality. It is a plunge into reality and it's very shocking to the system."
​
- Flannery O'Connor
Welcome, weary wayfarer.
Set your sword and shield by the door.
Hang your cloak by the fire and let it dry.
The meat is ready and the ale is brewed.
Prepare for an exciting tale.
One that races the heart and stirs the blood,
where dangerous enemies are many,
and heroes must sacrifice all.
Perhaps as you continue your travels,
you'll go forth with a light step and renewed hope,
to face the darkness
and fight monsters of your own.​​

All The Queen's Men Series
The king is dead. Humans are slaves. And their princess is a drug addict.
​​
In the world of Verdania, Ewan Inathius, heir to the throne of the Curae, sets out in hopes of finding his human counterpart, the dethroned Princess Constance. Together he is certain the two of them can raise an army and retake their sacred positions, freeing Constance's people in the process.
​
Despite the prospect of adventure, Constance is reluctant, content in her relative safety under the watchful eye of her guardian. Moreover, no one knows about her addiction to temeo, a powerful drug and key ingredient in magical spells.​
​
How can she fight against a world where all humans are slaves and her addiction makes her susceptible to every evil enchantment?
​

Humanity is reaching its breaking point, and something must be done.
Four long years have passed since Constance Neethe, the heir to the throne of Men, nearly brought disaster on her those dearest to her. Since then, the young princess sought solitude from the growing insurrection headed by her Curae counterpart, Prince Ewan Inathius, heir to the throne of the immortal Curae race.
But the time of hiding and preparing is drawing to a close. As the evil King Ischis grows in power daily and finds new horrifying ways to torment the enslaved humans, Ewan forms a plan to send a spy undercover into the heart of Ischis’s realm to learn the power of the enemy.
Meanwhile, the arrival of ghosts from the past force Constance to make a choice. Can she keep her eyes closed to the problems of the world forever? Or has the time finally come for her to embrace her role as Princess Constance Nicolette Neethe, ruler of Men?
