YA Fantasy Books full of faeries, pegasi, swordfighting, wild magic and the belief that no matter what…
you are always enough…
even when everyone else tells you different.

FAERIES DON’T LIE  
HEART OF THE WORLDS Book 1:  

Can Two Worlds Survive an Augury?

Releasing a Chandarion’s god-like magic into the world isn’t what sixteen-year-old Aunia, the village’s outcast, intends. She only wants to impress Mathias, a visiting seventeen-year-old pegasus flyer, who fiercely believes the choice—either Faery or Mortal world surviving—has come.

Her action calls forth the Boggleman, a soul-sucking ghoul, who abducts her dad, eats her faery friends, and sets Dagel demons on her isolated village. And worse.

The worlds of Ahnu-Endynia are full of faeries, pegasi flyers, myths, secrets, and themes of belonging, despite being misunderstood. And if you don’t watch carefully . . .

You might be pulled into the Betwixt. . . the space between the worlds.

FAERIES DON’T HIDE
HEART OF THE WORLDS Book 1:  
  • Launches November 2025 – available on preorder

 

Aunia is on a desperate quest to find the sea-witch who holds the secret whether her father yet lives and if he’s lost within the more treacherous realms of Faery Lands.

At the same time, she is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy where the fate of Tamore hangs in the balance.

Mathias needs her help not only to clear their names and avoid arrest, but to stop the Arch Vicar Bibb and his growing wererat army from wreaking havoc.

With every step, Aunia must navigate treacherous magic, fractured alliances, and deadly enemies while also uncovering intrigue that will change everything.

FAERIES DON’T FORGIVE  
HEART OF THE WORLDS Book 2:  

Returning to Nonderu, the underworld court, to rescue her dad should have been simple after the malevolent soul-sucking Boggleman fell to his presumable demise. They just need to find a way in. And get past the Mockmen trolls.

Instead, Aunia is attacked by a fanatical soldier cult that seeks to kill or capture her. Plus, her unmanageable magic notifies deadly wererats of her location. It also hurls her into an evil sorceress’ study. If all this wasn’t enough, she’s fighting a different battle with Mathias, her pegasus-riding love. His insistence to keep her hidden is more infuriating than any of their enemies. It leaves her determined to kick anyone who says first love is easy.

Worst of all are the truths she’s uncovering. Truths that can’t be forgotten. Or forgiven.
