The Wyrded Forest from Remi Black

Posted on September 25, 2026September 17, 2026 by writer35_bg

Celebrate the Anniversary of The first novella in the Spells of Earth trilogy

The Wyrded Forest

In The Wyrded Forest ~

Elemental Earth is a life-potential power. Can it be wielded to kill?

The Wyrded Forest: Wizardry burnt out and memory gone, Desora re-built her life in an isolated corner of the Northern Reaches.

She only wields the life-growing power of elemental Earth. She has nothing of Fire, Air, or Water. No fiery bolts, no whirlwinds, no drowning spheres: nothing for defense or attack.

Shape-shifting wolfen threaten her, able to transform out of Moon-turn.

And strangely gory deaths in the High Meadow mean a mysterious monster prowls, looking for life to consume.

With death menacing, Desora has no protection except her wards.

Wolfen and the eldritch monster kill the defenseless. Can Desora discover new ways to wield Earth before she becomes prey?

For elemental magic and dangerous Dark Fae allies, treacherous shape-shifters, and a twisty sorceress that seeks to defeat anyone associated with wizardry, look no further than The Wyrded Forest.

How did Spells of Water develop?

The Fae Mark’d World‘s first introduction to readers was with the Wizard Alstera epic novels: Weave a Wizardry Web, Dream a Deadly Dream, and Sing a Graveyard Song. Before Remi started writing the fourth novel in this series, she had a couple of problems that she needed to work out. Thus, the side series Fae Mark’d World came to be.

The first trilogy worked the details between the sorcerers and the shapeshifting wolfen. The Wilding came to be an important setting, not quite a boundary to the Wastes, to which the dragons were banished after their defeat by the Wizards and Fae.

That first trilogy is Spells of Air, with Orielle and Grim. The individual titles are To Wield the Wind, To Charm the Wind, and To Curse the Wyre.

This second trilogy is working on another problem, and Remi can tell that she will need more than Spells of Earth to work through all the details.

Each trilogy in the Fae Mark’d World is a complete story, not interlinked yet dealing with similar antagonists and More.

The Spells of Earth trilogy includes The Wyrded Forest, The Riven Gate, and The Mysts of Sorcery. Readers will experience a greater enjoyment reading the novellas in order.

1st ~ Torrent of Evil

2nd ~ Storm of Spells

part of the Fae Mark’d World

Elemental Water. Keen-Edged Steel. Twisted Sorcery. Monsters Magical and Mundane.

Spells of Water is the third entry in the Fae Mark’d World, a sub-series to the Fae Mark’d Wizard.

1st ~ Torrent of Evil

Death. That was the omen that the crows and ravens brought to Inkeri.

Deep in the desert Idros Ahdreide, men had lost their lives in battle against a strange evil. A half-Fae wielder, Inkeri ventures to investigate.

Rhodren, baron of the Bois Argent, is commanded by his king to investigate the disappearance of a troop and a caravan, lost at the abandoned citadel of the Archais, deep in the Ahdreide. Yet when he and his men reach the border, a flock of crows and ravens attack.

Surviving that attack, Rhodren and his men are then confronted by slavering panthers. Inkeri comes to their aid.

The Ahdreide has predators aplenty, all willing to feast on the wariest of travelers. What enemy marshals these dangers? What evil lurks at the Archais?

Will a wielder of elemental Water and mortal men discover the truth without become prey for the desert predators?

Ebook for this title alone is available at these links:

Worldwide Distributors and Amazon

2nd ~ Storm of Spells

A menacing watcher lurks in the citadel—with twisted sorcery as a guard.

The citadel at Saet’Idros Archais guarded a passage from the Wastes into the Great Vale. After centuries of duty, the Fae, Enclave wizards, and mundane men abandoned the outpost … then people began to vanish.

The half-Fae healer Inkeri, Baron Rhodren, and his men crossed old bones to discover the whereabouts of a missing caravan and two troops.

Yet a presence watches their entry into the citadel, a presence more terrible than twisted sorcerers, their shape-shifting wyre, and a traitorous Dark Fae.

Both Inkeri and Rhodren sense the watcher, but neither anticipates the dire threat it represents.

How many will die before the missing are found?

Again, the ebook for this title alone is available at these links:

Worldwide and Amazon

3rd in Series ~ Venom of Dragons

Carved into the mountain’s rock, the citadel of Saet’Idros Archais is now the battleground between good and evil, elemental power and foul sorcery, and a sinister monster more terrible than a crazed Dark Fae.

Inkeri, Baron Rhodren and his men, and their new allies the Lucent Fae have defeated the sorcerers and their minion shapeshifters. Yet the Dark Fae brings more foes to the citadel, and the fight becomes desperate.

How can Inkeri and Rhodren win when evil’s battlefield is the mind?

The Hazard of Secrets

Posted on September 15, 2026September 17, 2026 by writer35_bg

original cover by Deranged Doctor Design for Writers Ink — Jem and Clarey face press gangs and murderers.

Two hearts with dangerous pasts are twisted up into complex schemes

The Hazard of Secrets

Can these two hearts keep their secrets, or will murder force them to reveal all?

Clarey Parton crosses the Atlantic to steal an inheritance. She hopes that no one discovers the rightful heir lies in a cold grave.

Jem Baxter returns to the England he fled three years before. He assumes the name James Axminster to conceal his past, one littered with misdeeds.

When a press gang sees two people traveling alone, they seize the opportunity for quick cash: they plan to sell Clarey to a brothel and impress Jem on a merchant ship. Fate brings these two lonely souls together. Chance helps them escape.

Yet escape traps them in another secret—one with murder as a bloody solution.

The Hazard of Secrets offers twists and turns as tight as knots.

Can Clarey and Jem keep their secrets, or will murder force them to reveal all?

Read the first chapter at this link.
Here’s the second chapter of the newest release by M. A. Lee, The Hazard of Secrets, historical mystery set in 1814 Liverpool, England, with just a dash of romance. Find it at this link.
Writers will tell you that sometimes characters take control of a story, and writers are just along for the write. That’s the case with Vic, a boy on the streets of 1814 Liverpool in M.A. Lee’s newest historical mystery. I liked Vic so much I might even ask him to write another story with me. Find Vic’s introduction at this link.

And watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/I1hb4d9wCOg

This is the book that became ever-expanding, blowing past the original length of 70,000 words, climbing on to 88,000 words, and then achieving 109,000 words.

I kept thinking about dividing it out, but events at the beginning cause events in the middle and connect to events at the end.

And I hate to read cliff-hangers which require two separate books. Better to have the cliff-hangers at the end of chapters!
