“Servant of Earth’s magic formula is: faerie court rebellions + a badass human girl + a magic daggar + Hunger Games-like trials. It’s SO addictive and satisfying! Great audiobook narration, too. Can’t wait for book #2!”

“Servant of Earth mixes the fantasy of ACOTAR with the action of the Hunger Games. It’s detailed and action packed, allowing you to visualize the depth of the location, characters, and scenes. You immediately fall in love with Kenna, the protagonist, and are in the edge of your seat rooting for her. If you enjoy fantasy with a touch of romance, Sarah Hawley’s Servant of Earth is for you! ”

“This steamy Fae-filled Romantasy is perfect! The world-building and magic are fantastic, and I give it 5 stars! I was a huge fan of Kenna right from the beginning. She is brave, courageous, and not afraid to get her hands bloody. She has no allies except a sentient dagger named Caedo that becomes whatever she needs at the moment she needs it (I totally need a Caedo in my life). Kenna is tasked with helping her new mistress Laura pass six deadly trials to gain immortality, or they both die. With all the different alliances, I never knew who to trust or what was coming next. I cannot wait for book 2. ”

A USA Today Bestseller
In the underground Fae realm, only the strongest and most ruthless have power—but a young human woman forced into a life of servitude is about to change everything.
Kenna Heron is best known in her village for being a little wild—some say half feral—but she’ll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court.
Trapped as a servant in the faeries’ underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn’t, the punishment is death—for both mistress and servant.
With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and grueling physical tests. But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the inventively sadistic faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellion’s leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if she’s willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.
Surviving the trials and overthrowing a tyrant king will take cunning, courage, and an iron will... but even that may not be enough.
