Paradise. At last. Is this our home? Magic has been Divinely blocked from all magical beings, not just humans. What can mernakind do? Everything in their power to survive—even if adapting changes them forever.

They sail to a New World and new state of being on a refitted Lusty Strumpet. As their former queen, Nephtyri has a duty to ensure they have a safe home. Our resilient lass leads her found family to the shores of the very isle from her long-ago dreams, where Ian proposed. Their future depends on their ability to adapt to the ongoing changes humans make to the world. They’ll discover fresh allies and welcome new family along the way.

Nephtyri's tales are woven into a tapestry entwined with the fates of her friends and family. She must be a role model, humbled but determined to learn new wisdom. After all, not all magic is the same. Where will it all lead? Can she be the example all immortals need? Will she be able to help them overcome their loss and survive?

Pearl and Gold is an episodic novella told from the point of view of Nephtyri, the vampiric mage-queen of all mernakind. She must learn to live and lead her magical, found family in a human world without magic. This novella artfully combines historical and urban fantasy with paranormal romance and epic adventure while immersing the reader in a world that has forsaken our heroes.
