Portrait of Pippa DaCosta

Author & Narrator

Pippa DaCosta

Born in Kent, UK, two-time DragonCon Finalist & Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semi-finalis… Wait a second. Let's cut to the chase. I write kick-ass urban fantasy & sci-fi novels with conflicted characters, breathless action, and no-holds-barred dialogue. My books may not leave you feeling all fluffy and warm inside, but they will excite you. There will be plot twists, angst, probably a few dead bodies, and very likely your favorite character will turn out to be the bad guy. Don't say I didn't warn you.

A new space fantasy series where the guys are hot, the perils are many, and one rebel messenger holds the key to the survival of the human race. Lies aren't her only weapons against the fae... In the Halow system, one of Earth’s three sister star systems, tek and magic -- humans and fae -- are at war. Kesh Lasota is a ghost in the machine. Invisible to tek, she’s hired by the criminal underworld to carry illegal messages through the Halow system. But when one of those messages kills its recipient, Kesh finds herself on the run with a bounty on her head and a quick-witted marshal on her tail. Proving her innocence seems straightforward. Until a warfae steals the evidence she needs. The fae haven’t been seen in Halow in over a thousand years. And this one -- a brutally efficient killer able to wield tek -- should not exist. But neither should Kesh. As Kesh’s carefully crafted lie of a life crumbles around her, she knows being invisible is no longer an option. To hunt the warfae, to stop him from destroying a thousand-year fragile peace, she must resurrect the horrors of her past. Kesh Lasota was a ghost. Now she’s back, and there’s only one thing she knows for certain: nobody shoots the messenger and gets away with it. DragonCon Award finalist for Best Fantasy (Paranormal) 2018 Soundbooth Theater is proud to present this mind-bending tale from acclaimed author, Pippa DaCosta, expertly narrated by our rising star, Annie Ellicott.

The Messenger rocked your world, and now she's back. But have her lies finally caught up with her? Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota. She survived life as a slave and the Dreamweaver's touch, but surviving Marshal Kellee and the mysterious Talen is a whole other game, one she's not sure she's ready for. When the three are captured by a bloodthirsty fae general sweeping through the last of Halow's human colonies, the only weapons they have left are lies. And so Kesh must pretend to be the gladiator they all expect, while Kellee is forced to fight against her, and Talen is... well, just who is Talen when he can command soldiers with a glance and move among the fae elite as though he belongs? Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota, neither does love. She must survive both, or everything she's fought for will be lost forever, including her men. The enchanting & mind-blowing Messenger series continues with more action, more romance, and more exciting twists! Please note: The Messenger Chronicles is a slow-burn reverse harem. The reverse harem elements develop during the series. Soundbooth Theater continues Pippa DaCosta's tantalizing paranormal sci-fantasy. Annie Ellicott reprises her role as the mysterious Kesh Lasota, as we discover more about her origins with the fae, and uncover her frightening power. With Jeff Hays returning as Kellee, Talen, and a growing cast of brooding fae, Annie continues to delve into Kesh's psyche, and reveal her true nature.

“Be careful which star you wish upon...” The unseelie -- banished by Oberon long ago -- are stirring awake, and there’s one name on their dark lips: Nightshade. Kesh is beginning to settle into her role as Halow’s messenger, saving people from the fae with the help of Kellee, Talen, Arran, and Sota, but if she has any hope of making her wrongs right, she must trust those around her. Without them, there is no messenger. Friends, lovers, more. But one has a secret. A secret so dark it threatens to change everything Kesh believes in. A secret that could change the fate of Faerie, Halow, and all of humanity. When the fae abandoned the stars long ago, they left behind more than fairytales. They left behind their monsters. The fae-in-space “mind-blowing,” bestselling series continues in The Nightshade’s Touch, Messenger Chronicles 3. ©2019 Pippa DaCosta (P)2019 Spoken Realms

Kesh fled Faerie as a queen killer. Now she returns as the Faerie King’s secret obsession. But on Faerie, nothing is as it seems, not even Kesh herself. With days to stop Arran’s execution and the stoic guardian, Sirius, as her constant shadow, Kesh must weave her lies deep within Faerie’s courts where magic and whispers combine and conspire. Soon, Kesh learns there is more at stake than Arran’s life. Faerie is dying. Oberon’s reign is crumbling. The time to strike against the fae is now. But with Talen, Kellee and Sota a thousand light-years away, Kesh cannot succeed alone... Beneath the courtly politics, the glittering facades, and the King’s fragile hold on his people, the Dreamweaver is locked in eternal slumber, dreaming of the day his Queen of Hearts will set him free… because he knows, Kesh Lasota has no other choice. Kesh survived the Dreamweaver once before. Now all she has to do is control him. But Faerie’s Dreamweaver has other ideas for the peoples’ Messenger. He knows who, and what Kesh really is and he has every intention of using her to make all his dreams come true. He takes your mind, makes it his, takes your soul, makes you cruel. Dare you answer the Dreamweaver’s call? ©2020 Pippa DaCosta (P)2020 Spoken Realms

Together, they are stronger, but there are forces on Faerie who do not want the worlds saved, forces that would see the Messenger and her crew torn apart. Queen to Faerie’s new king, Messenger and more to the saru, lover to some, and a weapon to others; but who is Kesh Lasota really? A guiding light or an unwitting puppet? Answers are coming. The time for lies has passed. And Kesh will soon learn some battles can’t be won alone. The mind-blowing Messenger Chronicles comes to its explosive conclusion in Her Dark Legion. ©2019 Pippa DaCosta (P)2020 Soundbooth Theater
