The Dolan Prophecies Series Book #1
By- Allana Kephart & Melissa Simmons
Publication Date- April 18th, 2014
Genre- New Adult Dystopian/Dark Faery Tales
The year 2102–the world as it was no longer exists. Ravaged by nuclear war and polluted almost to the point of no return, Earth was dying. When the faeries came and brought their healing magic, humanity was grateful at first. Centuries of damage repaired in just five years, and during the course of that rehabilitation, they invaded. Quietly overthrown, the human race is now enslaved. The majority doesn’t even realize they have no free will. Branded, herded and kept only to further the agendas of the Fae Courts, humanity could be facing extinction.
But a resistance is coming…
Fianna Dolan has spent her entire young life preparing herself for an uprising against the Fae. One scorching summer night Fi’s parents leave and never return. Thrust into a position of power she never expected, Fi struggles with her new position and the responsibility it entails. When a secretive fae man known only as Flint breaches the city’s defenses claiming he can help, Fi begins to doubt everything she’s ever considered truth. As betrayals and deception come to light, will Fi want the answers she’s been seeking, or will trusting Flint lead to her destruction?
From Ensnared- (Patrick’s pov)-
I look down at the radiant beauty of my wife’s face as she holds our daughter in her arms for the first time and feel happiness flare to life inside my chest. It’s a perfect moment; Maeve looks floored by the depth of her affection for our baby girl and I can understand. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much love and protectiveness before in my life. I look into her face and feel the enormity of my responsibility to this tiny little girl settle on my shoulders. Honestly it’s a weight I welcome, and I have every intention of being as amazing to this child as my mother has always been to me.
Maeve can’t seem to stop herself from touching our daughter’s face, and I hear her murmur, “Welcome to the world, little one…” She looks up at me, smiling from ear to ear before saying, “You got your daddy’s eyes, lucky girl.” I feel an answering smile break over my face as I look down at our daughter.
I pretend to think over what Maeve said. “The color is different, that much is certain. She is beautiful though, just like her momma,” I say sincerely and reach out to caress my wife’s face. She looks up at me and smiles; leaning into my touch.
“She has those big, innocent eyes,” she says; smiling wider with happy tears standing in her deep brown eyes. “Just like you.”
I am bursting with newfound parental pride. “My mother’s eyes, it seems,” I correct her. “Hopefully she’ll have her mother’s keen mind and big heart.”
She chuckles softly. “And her father’s sense of humor, I hope.” I watch her lean down and whisper to the baby, “He’s much more fun than me.”
She has such a jaded view of herself, it hurts my heart. She doesn’t see the goodness inside herself—the love and kindness that peek out when she’s not paying attention. “Not true, wife. You’re too hard on yourself.” I feel my eyes misting over as I look down on them. They are both infinitely precious to me. “My lasses…the whole universe right here in this bed.”
Maeve smiles up at me with mischief in her eyes. “Oh dear, look at your father—getting soft on us already!” She reaches her hand up and pulls my arm until I lean down far enough for her to press a kiss to my lips. “Sit with us? I want to run something by you,” she asks and I nod at her; settling on the bed and then lifting her easily in my arms and setting her down in my lap so both she and the baby are in my arms where they belong.

Genre- New Adult Dystopian/ Dark Faery Tales
Patrick and Maeve Dolan left the safety of their New York human settlement on a sultry summer night and never returned. Ambushed by the Winter Court guards during their search for information on how to free humanity from faery rule, they are now ensnared in the Winter King Landric’s web, and he has some questions of his own.
The Winter King is curious about the way the Dolans run their city. In a surprising turn of events, he’s determined to learn all about their 16-year-old son, Eirnin. Landric separates the couple, threatens and tortures to the best of his ability, but the Dolans won’t give up the information he’s after.
Murphy, one of King Landric’s guards has been a ward of the Winter Court for as long as he can remember. Trained from childhood to be as quiet and obedient as possible, he’s always been the perfect servant. At least, until Princess Lumi strolled into his life and made him question everything he believes in.
When the princess vanishes without a trace in the middle of the night, Landric is determined Patrick’s people had something to do with it. Without the only connection to kindness and humanity they had, Murphy and Patrick both find themselves falling into very different kinds of insanity.
Will Murphy follow his heart just this once, choose his own side and find Lumi? Will Patrick’s hope dwindle before he can escape and save his family? Or will their unyielding resistance be the death of them all?
