About SERVANT OF EARTH

Our story begins with Kenna Heron, best known in her village for being a little wild—some say half feral—and she’ll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court.

Although she is familiar with the Fae, having learned of their magic from her mother and village elders, Kenna quickly realizes she was only given half the story. Trapped as a servant in the labyrinthine kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn’t, the punishment is death—for both mistress and servant.

With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and grueling physical tests. But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the inventively sadistic faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellion’s leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if she’s willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness. Surviving the trials and overthrowing a tyrant king will take courage and an iron will… but even that may not be enough.
