Author: Alix Nichols

Alix Nichols writes romantic comedy, contemporary romance, and speculative romance in both English and French. The Traitor’s Bride opens the Keepers of Xereill series with war hero Areg Sebi facing a treason sentence and laundress Etana Tidryn trying to alter his fate. The Commander’s Captive follows as the second main novel, shifting attention to military commander Jancel Heidd and Nyssa Sebi while resolving consequences left by the first book. The connected sequence continues with The Dragon’s Woman, The Samurai’s Lover, and The Vestal’s Steward, alongside prequel and companion stories. Nichols also created the Bistro La Bohème, Darcy Brothers, and Playing to Win books. Her Xereill novels combine science-fiction settings, political conflict, family loyalty, and romance across a shared planetary society. Reading The Traitor’s Bride before The Commander’s Captive clarifies the alliances and accusations that shape both couples, although each volume gives its central relationship a distinct arc.
