Release Date: March 31, 2026

About The Book:

Imogen successfully won her freedom; escaping the Molnairian palace and rescuing Wells and his soldiers from annihilation. But even as her knoma grows stronger, Imogen learns raw power isn’t enough to win a war.

As Imogen grapples with the chaos of battle—and a bloodthirsty unicorn named Prism—the consequences from her palace escape continue to follow her. Drawn into the ruthless games of two opposing courts, she finds herself out of her depth, yearning only for a peaceful life with her mate. But if she can’t curb her impulsivity and adapt to life in the army, she may find herself trapped between not one, but two warring kings.

About The Author:

Meredith grew up in New Orleans, collecting two degrees from Louisiana State University before running away to Chicago to be an actor. In between plays, she got her black belt and made martial arts and yoga her full-time day job. She fought in the Chicago Golden Gloves, ran the Chicago Marathon, and competed for team USA in the Savate World Championships in Paris. In spite of doing each of these things twice, she couldn’t stay warm and relocated to Nashville. She owns several swords, but lives a non-violent life, saving all swashbuckling for the page, knitting scarves, gardening, visiting coffee shops, and cuddling with her husband and two panther-sized cats. Her first novel Ghost Tamer is an Amazon Editor’s Pick for Best SciFi Fantasy, an IBPA Benjamin Franklin Gold Winner for Best SciFi Fantasy, an IPPY Award Winner for Best First Book, and a Silver Falchion Winner for Best Book of 2023 and Best Supernatural. A Dagger of Lighting released April 1, 2025.

Praise for A Dagger of Lightning:

“Lyons (Ghost Tamer) cleverly subverts the abduction-romance trope, celebrating a middle-aged, sensible, and spirited heroine. Narrator Freeman’s technical skills make this sci-fi romantasy an unputdownable delight in audio. VERDICT Lyons’s terrific new novel sparkles in audio. Share widely, especially with fans of Demi Winters’s The Road of Bones.” —Library Journal, starred review

“Combining sf, fantasy, and romance with a soupçon of political intrigue, the latest from Lyons (after Ghost Tamer, 2023) will delight readers with the interesting paths the story takes. Imogen is an easy character to root for and her strong chemistry with Wells will captivate romance fans. The book ends on a cliffhanger and readers will be eager for a sequel.” —Booklist

“Lyons (Ghost Tamer) puts a fresh spin on the romantasy genre with this entertaining romp helmed by a spunky heroine in the midst of a midlife crisis… It’s a pleasure to watch Imogen come into her own, learning both how to kick ass and how to make herself emotionally vulnerable. The fascinating worldbuilding, vibrant characters, and tense cliffhanger ending will have readers clamoring for more.” —Publishers Weekly

Wildly original and wholly unexpected, Meredith R. Lyons’ sophomore effort does not disappoint. I was swept away into the story just as Imogen was, and rooted for her every step of the way as she gains back her sense of self and comes into her powers. Smart, sexy, and absolutely memorable, I can’t wait to see what happens next.” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of A Very Bad Thing
