Here’s another of my books to feature as part of the Smashwords Year-End Sale. Willow Lake is the second volume in my Cleodora YA duology. Cleodora is a bold girl who serves the nature spirits in a subversively non-royal, non-capitalist, non-patriarchal setting. Everything in my catalog is 50% off until July 31, 2026. I hope you’ll give it a look.

Cleodora’s family are the spirit guardians of Acorn Canyon Shrine. Three years ago, she saved a corrupted spirit instead of fighting it. Cleodora became an archel, bonded with the nature spirit Tef as one soul with two bodies.

But the land of Tenebira is suffering under a terrible drought. It’s all because of something her relatives did at Willow Lake Shrine. Now the auctere of Acorn Canyon’s sacred pool calls on Cleodora and Tef. They must travel to Willow Lake, confront her family, and heal the broken shrine.

If they fail, all life will wither away!
