The Scarred Earth Saga Series

In thrilling, sharply funny conclusion to G. A. Aiken’s feminist, rollicking romantasy Scarred Earth Saga, a hunky royal farmer and a shrewd, intriguing She-centaur form an unlikely alliance in war—and in love . . .

Lysebet of the Scarred Earth clan is aware that everyone, including her mother, believes her to be . . . less than aware. But what they see as “vapid staring into space” is really Lysebet’s fascination with nature’s puzzles. So many to be solved! Still, this doesn’t explain why the royal she must escort into the territories of the Dragon Queen keeps smiling at her. Having to babysit royals is so insulting—especially this goofy farmer prince, though admittedly, he’s built like one of the massive bulls he happily herds around the human queen’s lands. Fortunately, if necessary, Lysebet can fight anyone. She enjoys a good weapon as much as any other battle-centaur . . .

Duncan Farmerson loves his life! This, despite that his family has been at war with their evil sister, Beatrix, for nearly a decade. To sustain their army, Duncan works to keep the farming industry thriving. But he’s also skilled with weapons, and extraordinarily strong. Now, his family needs him to infiltrate the horrifying territories of the Dragon Queen, where his other sister, Isadora, is captive—though he knows she went there willingly. Thankfully, there is one bright spot . . .

Duncan loves watching Lysebet the Centaur’s silent staring! In fact, he loves Lysebet! Gods, he hopes this slightly off-putting, perfect-for-him She-centaur loves no one else. He’ll just need to keep them both alive as they fight Beatrix’s ruthless army. But after their victory they can be together forever! Raising a herd of their own! Of course, he won’t tell her all that yet . . .

In this riveting, feminist tale perfect for fans of Katee Robert and Nalini Singh, two sisters battle for a single throne, warring factions take up arms, a land is divided, and uncertain allies become very certain lovers. With subtle commentary on today’s political polarization, this riveting epic celebrates strong female characters and champions the underdog with diverse, expert world building.

Gods save the queen!

Ainsley Farmerson has always planned to break free of the family business—and the family drama. But what was once farming, smithworking, and bickering over the dinner table has turned into open warfare between sisters. Sides have been taken, lives are on the line, and Ainsley has no doubt which sister must be queen. She’ll do whatever is necessary to take down the soulless Beatrix. Even if that means joining forces with angry battle nuns, irritating monks, and overbearing centaurs.

Gruffyn of the Torn Moon Clan has no time for human beings. And yet . . . there is something about the uncontrollable princess that he can’t ignore. Maybe it’s the way her eldest sisters underestimate her. Or her bravery facing down dragons and mad queens from distant lands. Whatever the reason, Gruff is willing to fight by this human’s side. Not only for the entertainment value, but because she’s right. Beatrix must never be queen. So whatever he has to do, whoever he has to destroy, Gruff will battle beside Ainsley. Fast. Hard. And with absolutely no mercy . . .

“The action speeds along and the dialogue pings among sarcastic dragons, earnest fathers and obnoxious siblings.” –Bookpage

“Electrically fun…turns the usual fairy-tale class dynamics upside down…this is a book that encourages trust in people’s goodness, if not their patience or good sense. It’s light on the romance, but prodigiously good for the heart.”
—The New York Times 

In New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken’s gripping new fantasy romance series, the Blacksmith Queen must confront armies and pretenders desperate to take her new-won crown. But with the Princess Knight at her side and a centaur warrior clan at her back, she’ll risk everything for victory . . .
 
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
 
Gemma Smythe dedicated her life to the glory of battle. With her fellow War Monks, she worshipped the war gods, rained destruction on her enemies, and raised the dead when the fancy took her. Until her sister Keeley became the prophesied Blacksmith Queen, and Gemma broke faith with her order to journey to the Amichai Mountain and fight by Keeley’s side.
 
The Amichai warriors are an unruly, never-to-be-tamed lot, especially their leader-in-waiting, Quinn. But when the War Monks declare support for Gemma’s ruthless younger sister Beatrix, the immaturity of her key ally is the least of Gemma’s problems. She has to get to the grand masters, dispel their grudge against her, and persuade them to fight for Keeley and justice. If her conviction can’t sway them, perhaps Quinn’s irritating, irreverent, clearly unhinged, ferocity will win the day . . .

When a prophesy brings war to the Land of the Black Hills, Keeley Smythe must join forces with a clan of mountain warriors who are really centaurs in a thrilling new fantasy romance series from New York Times bestselling author G.A. Aiken.  

The Old King Is Dead
 
With the demise of the Old King, there’s a prophesy that a queen will ascend to the throne of the Black Hills. Bad news for the king’s sons, who are prepared to defend their birthright against all comers. But for blacksmith Keeley Smythe, war is great for business. Until it looks like the chosen queen will be Beatrix, her younger sister. Now it’s all Keeley can do to protect her family from the enraged royals.
 
Luckily, Keeley doesn’t have to fight alone. Because thundering to her aid comes a clan of kilt-wearing mountain warriors called the Amichai. Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid, actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophesy ever envisioned …
