House of Blight: A Novel – A Dark Gothic Fae Romantasy of Court Intrigue, Forbidden Love, and Deadly Secrets (The Threadmender Chronicles Book 1)

“House of Blight is one of those books I had trouble putting down. I loved the totally unique magic system and the eerie but cozy setting… A must-read for any romantasy lover!” — NISHA J. TULI, internationally bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen

The first novel in an eerie, darkly creative, and romantic new gothic fantasy duology from Maxym M. Martineau, for readers of Sarah J. Maas and Rachel Gillig.

Edira Brillwyn is a threadmender. She holds a rare, lifesaving hidden power that can cure disease and heal injuries in the blink of an eye. But magic always comes with a cost, and saving anyone sacrifices a sliver of her own life. She’s always kept her abilities hidden…until the powerful Fernglove family discovers her secret.

The Ferngloves are charming and beautiful, possess powerful magic, and don’t take no for an answer—especially Orin, the head of these ruling elites. When Edira’s brothers unexpectedly contract blight—an incurable virus killing people throughout the town, and an illness too strong for her to heal them both—Orin offers to help. Together at his atmospheric estate they’ll research a cure while Orin slows their sickness and Edira hones her magic. His kindness and honesty surprises Edira, as does her undeniable attraction to him.

But the other Ferngloves are suspicious of her power and may be more dangerous than the ever-present disease. The longer Edira stays within the confines of the Manor, the more the powerful family’s pristine exterior begins to crack—until Edira discovers a terrifying secret and must choose who she can save and at what cost…

“[E]nthralling…With court intrigue, a dash of romance, and betrayal galore, this promises good things to come.” — Publishers Weekly

“[A] gorgeous fae gothic… I’m excited to see what [Martineau] does next.” —ILLONA ANDREWS, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Manor of Decay: A Gripping Dark Fantasy Sequel Where Love and Survival Hang on Defeating Death Himself (The Threadmender Chronicles Book 2)

In the high-stakes sequel to Maxym M. Martineau’s “enthralling” (Publishers Weekly) House of Blight, Edira must decide if the world is worth saving… and if she has enough power left to save herself too—perfect for readers of Rachel Gillig’s The Shepherd King series and T. Kingfisher.

Edira Brillwyn is not enjoying retirement. She’s traumatized and heartbroken by Orin and the battle at Fernglove Manor. Although her brothers are safe and financially secure at home in Willowfell, she fears wasting away her dwindling lifethreads. It’s a welcome surprise when Seville comes knocking at her door—at least until she reveals that the blight has returned to the Ferngloves.

Edira has had a taste of the power her heartbond with Rorik provides, and she’s certain there is a way to cure the blight for good… with Rorik’s help. But Rorik doesn’t think his life is worth saving, at least not worth Edira’s few remaining years, or months. He’s more concerned about keeping her alive than saving the world.

But other powerful Ever families have caught wind of Edira’s talents and are desperate for a cure. As those families begin circling, centuries-long conflicts rise to the surface and, once again, Edira finds herself at the whims of power-hungry Evers fighting for their lives. Before she runs out of time altogether, Edira and Rorik will have to face the source of the blight: Death himself.
