Welcome to the black skull chronicles
an enemies-to-lovers adventure
A murdered king.
A cynical soldier.
A witch with a secret.
When the king of Rhodan is assassinated under supernatural circumstances, Lieutenant Killian Southwick is tasked with bringing the killer to justice. Driven by loyalty and ambition, he’ll do anything to avenge his late king, even if it means teaming up with Elyse Crenshaw.
Elyse is regarded as one of the most powerful witches in the kingdom—and she wants nothing to do with Killian, or anyone for that matter. But when he makes her an irrefutable offer in exchange for one week’s help with his investigation, she reluctantly agrees.
After a rocky start, Elyse and Killian learn to work together, but secrets and past tragedies threaten to upend the entire investigation, and their budding romance. From magic potions to talking skulls and everything in between, nothing is as it seems.

About the Author
Samantha has wanted to be a writer as far back as she can remember. Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein were childhood favorites, soon followed by Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia, which ignited her love for fantasy.
Born and raised in St. Louis, Samantha is a midwestern girl at heart. She has also lived in South Carolina and Kentucky, and spent a month alone in Colorado—writing, reading, and hiking.
Samantha has more hobbies than she can keep track of, including running, drawing, painting, crocheting, playing volleyball, and of course reading. She loves nonfiction just as much as fiction, and you can often find her reading a book about film or self-care.
