Details about the cover, from author Stacey O'Neale:
In case you're curious about the cover, the model represents Marcus. The background represents the woodland court and the caves at the bottom are where the members of the royal family live. I chose caves because the woodland court protects the forests of the world. I didn't think they would choose to cut down trees to make a castle, so the massive caves worked out nicely. If you zoom in, you can see where the doors and windows are cut out. The inside is very lavish. If you read FRAGILE REIGN, you'll learn all about it.
FRAGILE REIGN (Mortal Enchantment #2) by Stacey O'Neale | November 18, 2014
It’s been a week since all hell broke loose…
Rumors of King Taron’s weakened powers have left the air court vulnerable. Kalin is desperate to awaken her akasha powers, except she doesn’t know how. Tension within the court is at an all-time high. Pressure is mounting for her to ascend to the throne, but a halfling has never ruled over any court. To solidify her position, the council has advised her to marry Sebastian—a high ranking air elemental she’s never met and her betrothed.
Will Kalin sacrifice her relationship with Rowan to strengthen her court?
Rowan and Marcus return to a fire court in turmoil. Liana’s death has fueled the fire elementals’ distrust against the air and woodland courts. The unbalanced elements have set off natural disasters all over the mortal world. Rowan takes the throne to restore balance, promising to unite the fire court. But not all elementals are happy with his leadership. Many are secretly loyal to Valac, which means Rowan needs to find allies for his cause.
Can Rowan unify the court of fire before the elements destroy the world?

THE SHADOW
PRINCE (Mortal Enchantment #0.5)
"Filled
with betrayal and intrigue, THE SHADOW PRINCE is a dark and twisty novella from
an exciting new author!"
Sixteen-year-old
Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortals—learning to control
the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen
Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his
coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by
completing a secret mission:
Kill Kalin, the
half-human, half-elemental daughter of the air court king.
Willing to do
anything to remove his mother from power, he agrees to sacrifice the halfling.
He returns to the mortal world with his best friend, Marcus, determined to kill
the princess. But as he devises a plan, he starts to question whether or not
he's capable of completing such a heinous task. And what price he will pay if
he refuses?
MORTAL
ENCHANTMENT by Stacey O’Neale
“Mortal
Enchantment spins a unique twist on elemental mythology. This series is not to
be missed.”
In Kalin
Matthew's world, elementals control the forces of nature. They are divided into
four courts: air, woodland, fire, and water. At sixteen she will leave the life
she's built with her mortal mother. Kalin will move to Avalon to rule with her
father—the elemental king of the air court. Along the way, she's attacked by a
fire court assassin and saved by Rowan, a swoon-worthy elemental with a
questionable past.
Worst of all,
she learns her father is missing.
To rescue him,
Kalin will have to work with a judgmental council and a system of courts too
busy accusing each other of deceit to actually be able to help her. But, they
aren’t her biggest challenge. With the Midwinter’s Ball only five days away,
Kalin must take over her father’s duties, which includes shifting control of
the elements—power Kalin has yet to realize.
As Rowan
attempts to train her, a war looms between the four courts. If Kalin fails, her
father will die and the courts will fall, but the betrayal she’s about to
uncover may cost her even more...
