About this series
Once, fey Hartkin Sable leapt from her realm to another to save the woman she loved. Now, Pictish mortal Eithni must do the same--to save her lover's brother, and fulfill Sable's promises to The Daylight Order, the fey rebellion to which Sable owes her fealty.
But the hardest path lies in what the two women must forge together in the Fey Realms, not in what they leave behind...
For their enemy, a corrupt Lightlord of the Summer Realm, will stop at nothing to enact his revenge and claim the mortal woman who was meant to be his.
A sapphic romantasy novella set in Early Medieval Pictland...and the Realms of the Fey.

- The Taking Year: The Giving Year Cycle, #1
1
On Gull Island in the cold North, Eithni awaits Winter Solstice with pride, resentment, and fear. All signs point to a Taking year. And Eithni, chosen to enter the chamber of the gods, prepares to leave her human community forever. On the other side of the Stone Door, Sable stands guard in anticipation of a successful solstice, when the veil between worlds will lift...and when her liege, a lightlord of the fey, will claim the human woman who willingly steps across into the Summer realm. But everything changes when Eithni breaks the rules. Everything changes when Sable hears a voice from the stone. A fantasy love story set among the Picts in Early Medieval Scotland.
- Hindkin and Huntress: The Giving Year Cycle, #2
2
In the Pictish kingdom of Cait, human stone-carver Eithni and her fey lover, the deer-woman Sable, survive in exile—even if they chafe at the need to hide their true selves from the people of Cenn River. But they know that if Sable's one-time liege, a Lightlord of the fey, finds them here in the mortal realm, his revenge will eclipse anything mere humans could enact ten-fold. So when gathering winter storms give rise to old superstitions about "The Hunt of the Gods," and the Lady of Cenn River herself commissions a carving depicting the Huntress—an ancient, nearly-forgotten deity... What seems mere coincidence at first quickly grows into threat. Especially with the appearance of another figure from Sable's hidden past. Facing an unnatural storm howling through the valley, Eithni and Sable must overcome the secrets between them... Before the oncoming Hunt sweeps them both away. A sapphic romantasy novella set in Early Medieval Pictland.
