  put a portal to the Dreamlands in Forks, Washington—the town of Twilight

  fame? While on a writing retreat in the upper Olympic Peninsula, we were

  inspired by the Tree Root Cave in Olympic National Park. The cave is in the

  side of a cliff along the coast. The top is formed by a massive spruce which

  appears to be floating in midair. The dirt has eroded from around its roots,

  leaving them to dangle down freely. The tree clings to the cliff above the

  cave like a gangly spider or octopus. While the tree looks like it should topple

  over, it continues to thrive, which has earned it the nickname, the Tree of

  Life. Once we saw it, we knew that this had to be a way into the Dreamlands.

  We used the imagery of the twisted roots throughout the book, a metaphor for

  the strange connections between the waking world and that of dreams, as well

  as the interwoven fate of Savannah, Jaxson, and her wolf.

  Untamed Fate is set in the wider Dragon’s Gift universe created by

  Linsey Hall. Magic’s Bend is the setting for many of her early stories, and

  you might recognize Alia from her Wolf Queen Book 1, Darkest Moon. She

  actually makes her first appearance in Infernal, book 1 of Linsey’s Hades &

  Persephone series. Definitely check them out! You can expect a lot of

  crossovers between the folks from Guild City, Magic’s Bend, and Magic Side

  in the future.

  That’s all that we have space for in this book, but we’ll be posting more

  detailed notes about the archaeology and history that inspired this book in our

  newsletter. You can sign up at: https://www.veronicadouglas.com/newsletter

  Dark Lies, the sequel to Untamed Fate, will be here in December. You

  can pre-order it on Amazon here: https://mybook.to/Dark-Lies

  fellow readers, and get the scoop on what’s up next, you join the Veronica

  DARK LIES

  MAGIC SIDE: WOLF BOUND, BOOK 3 OF 4 PREVIEW

  My nightmare’s not over. It’s just beginning.

  I killed the sorcerer that turned my life into a living hell, but instead of

  getting better, my world is falling apart. New threats lurk in every shadow,

  and I still don’t have the answers I need.

  The cops want me to betray the pack, the pack wants me to betray my

  family, and servants of a dark god are hunting me for my blood. I’ve turned

  into one of the monsters I feared most, and I have no idea why. Worse, I can’t

  control the beast inside me.

  I need to find a way to break this curse before my family discovers my

  secret—before my fated mate, Jaxson Laurent, claims me as his own. He’s as

  hot as sin, and I can barely restrain myself when he’s near, but I won’t let

  him rule me and I won’t let the fates determine my path.

  When I finally unmask the dark lies that have haunted my life, will I be

  strong enough to face the truth?

  You can preorder Dark Lies on Amazon here: mybook.to/Dark-Lies

  WICKED WISH

  DRAGON’S GIFT: THE STORM, BOOK 1 PREVIEW

  If you’re ready for more Magic Side adventures and want to read a complete

  series right now, try: Wicked Wish (co-authored with Linsey Hall).

  I’m at the mercy of a fallen angel.

  I work for the Order of Magica, the supernatural version of the FBI.

  Sounds fun, right? Except I spend my days chained to my desk, writing

  reports, and wishing that I was out solving crimes. Well, be careful what you

  wish for.

  When my best friend is abducted, my life in Chicago turns upside down.

  I’ll do anything to get her back—even work with Damian Malek, a

  wanted criminal, notorious crime lord, and dangerous fallen angel. He’s hot,

  lethal, and he's the only one who can help me master my dangerous powers. I

  don't want anyone to know about my magic, but I have no choice if I want to

  save my friend.

  Here's the catch: if the Order finds out that I’m working with Damian, I’ll

  get canned. Maybe even be hunted for what I am. But if I don’t give him

  what he wants, he’ll reveal my secret to the world.

  Wicked Wish features a rebel heroine, a dark angel hero, and slow burn romance. Prepare yourself for edge-of-your-seat adventure amongst ancient

  ruins and fantastical worlds.

  If you enjoyed the archaeology, history, and daring in Linsey Hall's

  original Dragon's Gift books, this adventure is for you!
