Star of Shalik
Coming Soon - January 2026
Conscripted into a war against the mystical Lumani, Rowynn Murchadha discovers a horrifying truth: she can channel the very magic her army seeks to destroy. As her powers grow, so does her face—transforming into that of the enemy she's sworn to fight.
​
Her only guide is Zi, a mysterious demon who visits her dreams, speaking of star-born magic and ancient bloodlines. Torn between worlds, Rowynn must navigate a web of false kings, mysterious demons, and forgotten memories.
​
With the fate of magic itself hanging in the balance, Rowynn must embrace her heritage and choose: trust the demon who claims only he can save her, or find another way before her uncontrolled power destroys everyone she loves.
The Chrysillium Tree
There is a language beyond words—echoing in the forests and sacred places—if we can remember how to listen...
​
Torn from her homeland and separated from her family, Mæve Faolái is a prisoner in the glittering cage of the Palace of Light. Surrounded by the cruelty of her captors and the unwanted attention of a predatory Crown Prince, she yearns for freedom—and for the family she lost.
​
But when Mæve uncovers the dark truth behind the Azantium Empire’s exploitation of the Lumani’s sacred Chrysillium trees, she risks everything to share what she knows with a mysterious Lumani man in the woods. Their connection sparks more than rebellion—it stirs a forbidden love and awakens a long-buried power within her.
​
The Chrysillium Tree is an enchanting tale of resistance and remembrance, weaving together ancient magic, sacred forests, and the unbreakable bonds of found family in the face of tyranny.
