The Count is Greedy

A dark fantasy novel!

In the town of Alderdeen, there rules a count; a count who is greedy for wives.

The record for a woman surviving marriage to Count Gristen Ballentine is three-hundred days. After years of living under Ballentine’s oppressive reign, two sisters, Lafinia and Marian, realize that no one is going to stop him, and they very well may be chosen to be his bride next.

28-year-old Lafinia is a headstrong elf with black magic––the kind that can speak to owls and pull the dead from their graves. 26-year-old Marian is much more innocent––magic-less and loving her sister more than anything else in the world. In a desperate attempt to save their lives and put an end to the Count’s rule, Lafinia and Marian entangle themselves in the web of Ballentine’s family secrets, the intrigues of castle court, and dark elvish magic––all to uncover what’s really been happening to all the wives.
