Wicked Court (A Noblesse Oblige Duet Book 1)

by May Sage

January 16th, 2020
Genre: Fantasy, Young adult, coming of age
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had to hide who I am. What I am. They had me play the sheep. They had me blend in. They marked me and sealed my power. 

Now I have my freedom, because everyone who’s ever wanted me confined is dead. I could have changed it. I could have altered the course of fate. I could have saved the unseelie queen. I didn’t. 

Vlari has always known her place: as far away from court as the unseelie queen can send her. 

The youngest royal, born in an impoverished household, she endeavoured to earn her keep as an assistant. Her one aspiration? Avoiding the popular crowd of gentry fae who prey on the weak, and their dark, enticing leader, the mysterious Drusk. Until the world implodes around her. 

She has two options. Fade with rest of the unseelie kingdom, or protect a court that has never cared for her. 

Disclaimer: Unlike many of May Sage’s novels, Wicked Court is written in first person. Wicked Court is the first volume in a duet.

by May Sage
June 6, 2019

Genre: Paranormal Romance
They say the fae used to take the most beautiful maidens and make them their brides. They lied. What they do with them is much worse. After the seven lords of Sidhe are massacred in one day, the thrones of the fae realm pass down to their heirs. The Iron Circle remains leaderless, as its true lord lives in another world. The nobles of the realm will find the heir, and they will destroy him. Or her. West, in the Silver Circle, a new lord has taken the throne. A warrior who never hesitates to crush ants for the good of the world. A man whose rule will change the fate of their realms. Melpomene has never known where she came from, and after centuries, she’s stopped caring. Until the fae take her, dragging her to a land where bloodlines and power is everything. To survive, she needs to embrace the monster buried inside.

Exclusive Excerpt:
“I warned you I could not protect you.” The boy winced as she bent forward to his ear. "So, stay close and you may just survive.” Caim paused. He’d been mistaken. This wasn’t weakness. This wasn’t naivety. She was simply certain, absolutely certain, that she was in no danger here. That she'd made it five minutes without any weapon had surprised him. Now, it didn't. Tired and spent as she was, her every move was fluid and precise. A Gaian darkling came from the side with a blade; she tilted her pelvis forward, and the blade hit air. She reached for the attacker's hand and pushed it back to his skull, all the while avoiding another hit on her left shoulder. Water. She moved like water. If she'd had a sword in her hand, Caim knew she could have made short work of all the prisoners, and most of the lords, no doubt. But she seemed content to let them murder each other, simply defending herself—and the boy holding on to her like the lifeline she was. His lips parted and a delighted laugh escaped him. He laughed like a child, with enchantment, astounding himself and anyone who was paying attention to him. She didn’t spare the boy another glance, but she let him stick to her. Grace and indifference. She was cruel. Cruel, untouchable, and beautiful. They were supposed to watch slaves butcher each other. Instead, they were graced with a dance worthy of a fairy queen.

Book Review: Rise (Blue Blood Trilogy #1) by May Sage

Rise (Blue Blood Trilogy #1)
by May Sage
April 2016

Paperback, 236 pages

The Klints, a superior race in every way, long ago decided to abolish natural birthing; over the last millenniums, every child had been engineered, created, designed; but things went wrong, hence their need for human breeders.

Lena's life might have changed since their invasion, but she's not particularly affected by their presence on a daily basis, until the day they find out that she's a hundred percent compatible to the emperor of the entire galaxy.

Her job was simple. She was supposed to give birth to his heir and disappear.

But then, someone threatens that child.

In this sci-fi romance, Earth and its inhabitants are ruled by the Klints, superior humanoid beings and inter-galactic heavy-weights. Klints need humans. They are reliant on human female breeders to ensure their superior bloodline survives. Advanced genetic testing finds matches for male Klints from among the female populace. The testing is relentless and far-reaching for Calden, the Klints’ emperor. When one Lena Smith is discovered to be Calden’s perfect genetic match, she is persuaded to bear the heir.

I like the change of pace a work of science fiction offers. The fantastic Klints with their brightly hued hair are imaginative and interesting. Lena is a formidable, lethal heroine who can certainly hold her own when up against an alpha emperor and his enlightened race. And for all her humanity, Lena proves she is indeed a contender. Other characters, like Calden’s right-hand Jaycen, are likeable and add to an overall pleasant read.

At its core, this love story is nothing new or innovative except for its unorthodox development. Calden and Lena’s relationship is based in convenience and logic, completely devoid of intimacy. Although the simmering sexual tension exists, it isn’t initially explored. Though they are a genetic match, a union between Calden and Lena would be impudent at best.

An entertaining read overall, I found it difficult to put Rise down. It’s fairly short. I don’t usually complain about a book being too short, however, I feel Rise would’ve benefited from improved development in the second half. The ending, originally a cliff-hanger of sorts, has been enhanced. While this leads to a more satisfying read, the story arc becomes disjointed and a little awkward. I look forward to future installments in the Blue Bloods trilogy.

Once Upon A Time, there was a little girl who just loved telling her own stories. Fastforward about two decades? Not a lot of change, there. 

My mother's collection of novels extends to three rooms, the stepfather who raised me writes awesome short stories: really, I didn't have a choice, I caught a bug. 

I dabble in anything, Fantasy, Contemporary, Dystopian... Really, the subject doesn't matter. 
The gist of it is: I will make you laugh, and I will make you want more :)

I've recently cut the security net and I'm now a writer, full time. Well, at least 95% of the time, I also help authors publish their book by providing manuscript critic, editing, beta reading, and by designing awsome covers. 


Oh, and I cuddle my cat. A lot. That probably should count as a profession.
