Book 1 (full)
Step into the magical world of Xi Crystals, magic battles, and a YA fantasy series that's layered gracefully with a touch of whimsical charm and rich lore:
A cozy, coming-of-age story that grows into an epic adventure; one where Gwyn discovers friendship and magic, then uncovers a legacy within the wizarding world where her very existence seems to tilt political scales.
As strange powers begin to surface she soon finds her blood holds a mysterious secret, only to be hunted by the likes of the dark necromancer Zarep and the Azerael.
Once sealed by the Magi of old, the ancient forces of darkness threaten to return. Despite Gwyn's age, after witnessing the mistreatment of the innocent in her mother's lands, she finds herself compelled to help.
In this epic tale you'll tag along with Jack and Chele as they join Gwyn on a journey through a world rich in magic, lore, mystical places and fantastical beings.
You'll also cross paths with noble wizards, undead creatures, magic battles, goblins, wood sprites and creatures with skin covered in swirling smoke as Gwyn follows explores a legacy just beyond the veil.
Recommended age: 12+; contains mild violence and action scenes typical of fantasy novels.
Authors note:
To those who choose to take the journey: thank you! This is a story crafted over 14 years and still actively growing. Nakiri's Last Stand is also in the same universe, and is set to see sequels as well as Gwyn's Kingdom (Flame of the Emerald Shadows = Book 2).
I am truly grateful and humbled by those who have taken time to visit this world.
May your adventures be filled with magic and wonder, and may darkness never win.
