From Fae-Tales a new, gripping story: Marfóir—the greater her destiny, the greater the price!

“His touch…an aching memory, his voice…a haunting whisper, his smile like no other. He holds our daughter in his arms, and my heart soars. They’re gone, but I will find them, for not even death can separate us.”

Torn from her family, separated from her people, she has to become something she wasn’t before—a killer.

Marfóir, Marishka Grayson’s new exhilarating novel, torn from the pages of the darkly twisted tales of the Fae, this story will compel you into the unexpected; to an undiscovered country from where no traveller returns.

Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh! (Happy New Year)

The new year is a time for reflection, resolutions, and trying something different. I’ve been writing for 4 years after a sudden urge gripped me one sultry afternoon. It may have been a muse, but if so, it was a dark creature, clutching at my throat, with claws bared—commanding me to bare my soul in waking dreams called stories. I’ve penned them for you from the Realm of the Fae. They’re wicked, they’re fierce and above all mysterious and passionate. I write with urgency, because I must complete the series before the creature sets me free again.

Marfóir—Killer, is due out in February this year. Marfóir is a standalone fiction, but can be considered book 2 in the chronology of the Fae-Tales. It begins after the battle at the Black Castle where Faolán confronts the Dark One in a violent battle. The Realms are in turmoil, the Fae Queen captured and the Fomoire revolt against their Tuatha Overlords has reached a fevered pitch that erupts into a war involving both Tuatha, Fomoire and humans.

As you know, I mix different genres, and the Fae-Tales are no exception. My stories are dark, steamy fantasy infused with elements of fairy tales, historical fiction, science fiction and classical gothic literature. It’s unusual, but I think once you get a taste for it, you’ll enjoy the wildness of exploring something different with me.

My next upcoming book, which I’m currently writing, is Deartháireacha—Brothers. A story of love, loyalty and passion; ready sometime this year.

Happy New Year!

Whew – it’s done! Another wicked story from the Fae-Tales

And when I say done, I mean mostly done. It still requires edits and polish before the looming deadline when it has to go off for professional glimmer. Hahaha!

Okay, so this one is a seriously dark story. Can I even write light stories? I don’t know anymore. When I’m happily ensconced with a cup of tea, candle-light and the trees shimmering in vibrant hues outside, all I seem to be able to think of is how much pain and suffering I want to put my protagonists through. You see, I really believe and here comes the tagline that  “A HERO ISN’T BORN, SHE’S FORGED BY PAIN!”

That’s my new story—Marfóir, about a heroine who has to go through hell before she finds her inner strength.  Here’s the blurb!

Marfóir – the greater her destiny, the greater the price 

His touch … an aching memory, his voice … a haunting whisper, his smile like no other. He holds our daughter in his arms, and my heart soars. They’re gone … but I will find them, because not even death can separate us.

What would you do to avenge the ones you lost? From the dark bowels of the Fae-Tales, comes another savage story of twisted love. A new exhilarating novel, torn from the pages of the darkly unfolding world of the Fae, will compel you into the unexpected, to an undiscovered country from where no traveller returns.

A bonnie maiden, a dastardly villain, fairy princes and some very mischievous witches … ready to fill your world with magic?

This Trilogy Breaks All The Rules; Luminis–Kingdom of Invincible Light

Book III of the very savage Bloodreign Trilogy!

It’s out! Yay!! :0) When I set out to write this trilogy, I never imagined it would take me into the deepest, darkest part of my own mind. The story seemed to write itself, and I just followed its path…like Alice.

The trilogy’s not like any story I’ve ever read or written; it’s part paranormal fantasy, part erotic romance, part historical fiction and part science fiction. I write primarily modern gothic romance and multi-genre, so if you like being surprised and you could happily stomach the first two books, you may enjoy this third and final story. Despite their savagery, the Nuria are surprisingly nuanced and have a complicated back-story. Give it some time—it’s quite lengthy and very chewy. Certainly, not easily consumed, but I think about half way through, you’ll be rewarded.

If you’ve read Books I and II and would like a free Kindle copy of Book III, or if you’d like a free advanced reading copies of any of my books, please click here to join mailing list. Thank you so much for your awesome support!

For connoisseurs of very dark, paranormal fantasy: Regnum Luminis–Kingdom of Invincible Light.

They are super-predators; dangerous, blood-thirsty, insatiable … and I’m one of them. Events were set in motion long ago. Technology given to mankind for a single purpose—to serve the Nuria. But the world has changed, our constant infighting has weakened us, and this last struggle for dominion could annihilate everything. I must become stronger to protect the ones I love. For in the approaching darkness, the meek shall inherit nothing.

Weaving the story of the Nuria throughout history, Marishka Grayson’s fierce trilogy of love and redemption comes to a final and brutal escalation when all the players meet their match. Though, it seems, some of them weren’t ready…

Electrifying…deliciously deviant and intensely satisfying—this book breaks all the rules.

Almost there…

I know I’ve been at my computer for too long, when the only towel option left for me to dry myself with, is my dog’s towel…

Almost done with Marfóir. Four more chapters to go and then the rewrites, more polish, and it’s off to be edited and proofread. I promise, Marfóir is not as convoluted or as bizarre as Bloodreign III. That has a seriously twisted HEA…is it even an HEA? Yes! I think so. Please let me know what you think!

The next tale is a first person, present tense fun adventure in the dark world of the Fae. I like my new heroine—Áine. She’s pluckier than most I’ve written…but as you’ve probably realized, I don’t like insta-heroes. And when there are enemies around every corner, what’s a girl gotta do?

Warmly,

MG

And it’s out…GHEIDH, my new DARK romantic fantasy

I wrote this story for a friend, to help heal his broken heart. It’s a first person male-on-male, dark romantic paranormal fantasy.  I hope you enjoy it!

MG

GHEIDH is a gritty, paranormal romp with all the trimmings; witches, kings & queens, and plenty of shape-shifters. This standalone page-turner is one hell of a sexy ride through a richly populated landscape filled with unforgettable characters who won’t let you go easily.

It begins with another sunny day in California when college student, Tate Akerberg, encounters a strange gang of fast living, spoiled frat boys whose sole purpose seems to be to torment him. Everything appears normal…until it isn’t. One of them, especially, manages to get under his skin and it’s all Tate can do to avoid him.

This M/M fairy-tale for adults, by author Marishka Grayson, is high-gear action and wildly entertaining. If you enjoy rough heroes and fresh villains, GHEIDH may be right up your dark and dirty alley.
