A Court of Moonlight and Shadows, the first book in the Night Shade University series by Poppy Ireland is now LIVE!

For those enticed by forbidden desires and secrets that demand a price… Nightshade University was supposed to be a land of opportunity, a haven of knowledge. A prestigious institution catering to the elite Fae of all four courts:

The Dawn Court: Defenders of justice and honor. The Dusk Court: Agents skilled in secrets and espionage. The Demon Court: Bringers of chaos, reveling in destruction. The Moon Court: Mystics wielding celestial magic and divination.

As a freshman, navigating power and politics was not on my syllabus, but now it's a game I'm forced to play. At the heart of the intrigue stands Lysander Thorne. Our connection is electric, an attraction that's as forbidden as it is undeniable. With him, I'm drawn into a world of shifting alliances and treacherous loyalties. But as I delve deeper, I discover more than just courtly schemes. A darkness looms, one that ties my fate to the very soul of Nightshade University. I might be the key to unearthing a malevolent spirit, but at what cost? My heart, my future… or perhaps even my life? In a world where secret societies rule, and passion intertwines with politics, trust is a luxury and every decision, a high-stakes gamble.

(FaeCourt!Amata obviously)

"There are whispers of war on the horizon, my lord." It's not like her to address him with such formality, but such a grave situation likely called for it.

"You're no doubt aware of the conflict between the boy and the vampires, but the matter appears to be escalating faster than we anticipated. Choices must be made, and soon."

"...so it would seem. I continue to work towards de-escalating the situation, and yet conditions continue to collapse towards conflict. I have already made arrangements to take the child into protective, 'educational' custody, and made sure to inform Tepes of the situation as placatingly as possible... and yet they still refuse to play nice even as they agree with me, as I do this to prevent open war taking place before the marriage of his daughter and our Ally, Alexander."

The words of the Fae Lord were terse, weary, bitter, and rather disgusted, as if he were a jaded janitor speaking of yet another mess in a High School Bathroom instead of an impending multi-realm conflict between multiple kingdoms... yet his tone maintained an unmistakable air of gravitas and dread under it all, like a layer of permafrost chilling from underfoot.

"...Inform me of any further emergencies or discrepancies between current events and our predictive models. Additionally, Keep the Knights and Guards on Heightened Alert... and inform Miss Maribelle that we may need her services for a provisional member far sooner than expected, in regards to ethics and conflict management discussions; I can handle standard training for the child all too well, but if we are to maintain validity I may need an extra hand or second opinion in regards to the more... morally driven or dubious issues."

...another sigh, as the Fae sat on a throne of gnarled oak and timeless slate, a hand covering his face and propping his head in such a manner that only one eye - gleaming Azure in a rather chilling manner - as he spoke, grimly focused on something perhaps only she too could see looming in the not-so-distant-future.

"...there are too many factors to track things so easily, but you and I both know we cannot afford to let the bickering fools waste their power and armies against each other at this stage, so long as we can prevent it. We are going to need everything we can use if we are to stop Her when she decides to finally act - and that means preparing as much as we can as she bides her time."

Writing Update: Hola a todas, now it's time for me to talk middle grade stories, and seriously guys, I can't hold this info back anymore haha! But I have titles! Both the series and each book has titles now, BUT I'm still deciding between duology or a full on series. If the series will be a duology, then it will be called The Fae Princes Duology, but if it will be a series, then I'll just replace Duology with Chronicles... And it would be 9 books long, going from Middle Grade to Young Adult. It really depends on whoever I publish with. Now, the first book title. I'm only revealing the first book only, just in case later books don't happen or their titles will change, but book 1 is definitely staying. - Book 1 will be called, The Sun and Moon Brooches. - There's a reason, but I'm keeping it hush hush for now. Also, I'm currently writing Chapter 10 as we speak. I've caught up on all my other projects, so I can get back to writing this... I just have to get over these stupid allergies! Ok, I think that's all the info I have about this book. Hopefully I'll have more for ya next month. Adíos por ahora. - QOTD: What's your favorite title? #Bookstagram #Writergram #Authorgram #FantasyBook #WritersLife #WriterLife #WritingUpdate #AmWriting #Fantasy #HighFantasy #AdventureFantasy #FaeCourts #Fae #SecretRoyal #MG #MiddleGrade #Magic #BooksAreMagic #BooksAreMagical #BooksOfIg #BooksOfInstagram #WritersOfIg #WritersOfInstagram #IndieAuthor #BookDuology #BookSeries https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDbu2RLc2H/?utm_medium=tumblr

When they had first brought Elaine to Vivian, she was locked up in a dingy cell with filthy clothes in the dungeons below the castle. That simply would not do. Elaine wasn’t supposed to be treated like a prisoner, though she technically was. They wanted her to be as useful as possible.

So they let her bathe and gave her fresh clothes, as well as a comfortable room with a view of the beautiful castle town. Though she was still trapped, they would treat her with kindness. 

Vivian entered the room, a tray of food in one hand and a stack of books in the other. “How are you feeling today? Are you comfortable?” She asked, setting the food and books on a desk nearby. “I do apologize for how the others treated you, that wasn’t supposed to happen.”

My final character in my fae middle grade fantasy story is Tsuki, a Keeper that represents the Moon Faes and is charged with keeping and protecting books, tomes, tales, legends, and history. Although my final character to concept for TSaMB, Tsuki was another character I was looking forward to creating. Although not 100% with the hair style, I think they came out great. They're a lot more fun compared to the other Keepers, but not energetic, just more relaxed. Rarely does Tsuki fret, but once they do, the situation should be taken seriously. Tsuki is considered the favorite Keeper to the students at the far academy in my fae series. Anyway, I hope you've liked meeting my characters. That's it for character concepts for now, I have some chibies to do.

Fae Punishment (Minor)

You shouldn’t wrong the fae. 

Everyone learns this from a young age, but whether it be the concentrated magic or the potential for raw power, there’s always people who seek to steal from them, or cheat them, or exploit them. 

There are just too many fae to fool all of them, and since every individual in a court is connected to the Queen, the Queen has the resources and intelligence of thousands at her command, which she selectively shares with her subjects. 

If you forget and try to trick the fae, your punishment might depend on how serious the infraction. Some fae love a good trick--even if it fails--and may even reward mortals for their efforts. This is rare but lucrative, though many don’t survive the number of attempts it might take to amuse the fae. You really just have to be lucky. 

Most punishments are unique, and punishments only occasionally fit the crime. Most seem to be on a whim. Perhaps a voice in your head repeating a song you hate in repeat for a whole month. Sudden fits of sleep when anyone says a relatively common word. Being turned into a tree for a year to serve in place of that magical faecourt sapling you chopped down. Et cetera. 

These effects are governed by the theory of ethereal contract, which winds through the spirit world and through every living being. If you attempt to inconvenience a fae and lose, you’re subject to the same level of inconvenience upon your person that they would have suffered. This is understood. You don’t have to sign anything to be subject to these rules. 

(Notably, accidents are magnanimously forgiven by the fae. Unless the court is particularly full of assholes--if you’re cursed and you believe in your own innocence, you can petition the offending court for reprieve... But they’ll take the petition as an offense and curse you again. It’s best to just suffer your single punishment.)

Surprisingly, accidentally killing or just outright murdering a fae (unless it’s an Unseelie fae) is considered a minor offense, because fae spirits are reborn and occasionally split to form new spirits. Death is considered to be integral to any fae’s spiritual cycle. Continuously dispatching the same reborn spirit might call for more severe punishment, and murdering vast swaths of fae all at the same time is a rather major offense (after all, those spirits will have to queue in order to be reborn!) but otherwise more courts are chill with murder.

Writing Update: Hola a todas! It's been a little bit since I last talked about The Sun and Moon Brooches manuscript, but I have good news! I finished it! The manuscript is now sitting at 45, 564 words. Alpha Reader went through it and helped me add more to get this story to where TSaMB needed to be. I actually plan on doing one more pass, fix up some sections and maybe add just a tad bit more words, but the story is written and finished. I don't plan to open this to beta readers until later this later year, once I finish writing The Amulet of Kakata, because I plan to put both manuscripts up for beta readers consumption at the same time. I can't wait for you guys to read this fun, super queer friendly story of fae princes, magic, and a really bad dude trying to take vengeance on the faedom. If you want an idea of the story and world, it's like THE DRAGON PRINCE meets TINKER BELL. Talk more about TSaMB soon. Adíos!

::EDITING:: CH 7/25 DONE

Chapter 7 published

“My apartment is ruined.” She fell to the ground. “Oh my God I didn’t know they’d do that. Why didn’t you warn me?” She glared at Devon.

“I tried.” He shrugged, tossing the horseshoe up.

Chelsea’s eyes moved to her door frame, watching as it appeared over the door in a puff of green. “Why didn’t that stop them before?”

"I hadn’t made my territory known.” He responded.

“Y-y-your-”

“I fed you fae food.” He picked up her laptop holding it between two fingers. “That means you are… uh, technically… nevermind.”

Chelsea paled, “I’m not though.” She argued, feeling too weak to fight anymore.
