Alright, folks, gather 'round, because I've got a gem to share. Felicity Hewitt, indie author extraordinaire and fellow escapist into fantastical realms, has unleashed her debut novel, Violets & Vipers, upon the world. This isn't just another fantasy romance—it's a whirlwind of magic, monsters, and morally ambiguous characters that'll have you questioning your own alignment.
Hewitt, a stay-at-home mother to three kids and two cats, channels her love for epic world-building and diverse characters into a story that doesn't just entertain—it resonates. Drawing from personal experiences, she weaves themes of mental health and the strength found in kindness throughout her narrative, aiming to make readers feel seen and understood.
In Violets & Vipers, you'll follow Isadora, thrust into a life she never chose, navigating a world filled with mystical spells and lurking dangers. And then there’s Faris Caligo, the enigmatic commander of the Shadow Knights—cold, callous, and utterly captivating. Their story is one of chaos, discovery, and, of course, a simmering romance that’ll keep you turning pages late into the night.
So, if you’re ready to dive into an epic tale where the lines between hero and villain blur, and where love and danger dance a perilous waltz, grab your copy of Violets & Vipers today. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this ride.
Read recklessly, love dangerously, and maybe don’t trust the Shadow Knights.
Until next time, keep your wits sharp and your books spicy -

It's done. I'm his now... forever.
Magic, monsters, twisted villains... it's all within this epic fantasy romance.
Isadora, offered as the prize to her father's tournament, must watch as men fight for her hand. The nobility are eager to win themselves a broodmare, and among the entries is a man they call "the Flayer." She watches with bated breath, desperate for anyone but the commander of the Shadow Knights to win, but her prayers go unanswered. Faris Caligo, rumored to be cold, callous, and downright dangerous, claims his bride and takes her home. She's terrified, to say nothing of the monsters lurking outside the castle walls.
Her new life starts in a whirlwind of chaos. Monster attacks, mystical spells, a vast and lonely castle, it's overwhelming, yet something calls to her: magic. Perhaps the local sorcerer can show her a thing or two. And her new husband, she's falling for him, but could the rumors surrounding his name be true? Should she fear him or give in to her desire?
Meanwhile, a growing danger stirs in the hinterlands, threatening the free people of Ornata.
The first installment of The Shadow Knight Series is a swoon-worthy romantasy filled with delicious tropes and exciting adventure. Fans of the genre will not want to pass this up.
And yes, there is plenty of spice.
