Upcoming Release
Heir of Embers and Eventides
In the shadowed wilds of the Sauvern Forest, Faedi lives bound to the land she protects and to Lonan, her deadly Umbral companion.
When a summons draws them into the search for missing caravans, Faedi uncovers a far greater threat. The Order is known for being ruthless, and both her and Loan are marked to be slaughtered. The cult believes their deaths will stop a prophecy that could unmake the realms. Ancient powers are shifting, and now Faedi and Lonan are caught up in the fallout.
However, they are not alone in the fight.
Sophir—High Knight of Dewgate—has joined them, his heart housing questions his Lord cannot answer. Drawn to Faedi and Lonan despite everything he’s been taught, Sophir must decide where his loyalties truly lie.
What begins as survival sharpens into something sacred, dangerous, and forbidden.
Survival becomes rebellion.
And love becomes the most dangerous defiance of all.
Hunted by zealots and pursued by golden flames, they must face the truth of who they are—and the power they were never meant to wield.
All while the gods are watching, and balance must be restored.
I really enjoyed this book!...It was easy to become invested and care about the characters. Even when I had to put the book down for a little while to deal with life, I always felt a draw to return.
I truly enjoyed the depth of this story in all of it's glory and tragedy. Give me more!!

Praise & Reviews
'Heir of Embers and Eventides' is a breathtaking blend of lyrical fantasy and character-driven romance, steeped in ancient magic, slow-burning desire, and the quiet ache of survival in a world that wants you erased.
This book doesn’t just offer fantasy…it offers intimacy. The emotional depth is as rich as the worldbuilding.
