Trial by Reflection: YR4 - The Nightshade Guild: The Trials of the Guild

by Cherron Riser

The Nightshade Guild had made a mess of time and space, causing the Creator to take drastic
actions and put them all on trial. Having just given birth and returning from the Dark Ages,
Charlie is sent for her test. What she finds is a family she’s never met and an internal struggle
with her own fears. She gets lost in the love of having a family, but at what price?
Charlie has always struggled with her craving for power. She never wanted to become the villain
her father had. With temptation surrounding her, Charlie now has to face the truth. Is she on the
path to becoming a villain, or can she use her talents to save people?

Now she has to face her dark side and reflect on how she became one of the most powerful
mages in the world. She will either fall to it or learn to harness it. Her trial is one of reflection,
and one she isn’t ready for.

About the author

Cherron Riser was born in Dothan, Alabama on November 2, 1983. With her family being military, she spent a lot of her early childhood traveling all over the country, giving her a lot of new and different experiences, she would not otherwise have been given. When she turned ten, however, her family settled in the small town of Ozark, Alabama where she finished her high school career.

After high school, Cherron began college, however, was soon forced to drop out to take care of her family. She is the mother of two wonderful children, and they provide a source of inspiration for Cherron’s work. In 2013 Cherron returned to school to finish what she had started all those years ago, and in 2021 she graduated.

All through her life Cherron has been drawn to the arts. As a child she danced and sang all the time, often driving her family crazy. During middle school, a group of friends and Cherron started "The Outcast" a club established for building a love of writing. Once the club was formed, Cherron was never seen without a spiral notebook and pen. She wrote daily, developing silly stories for her friends. After high school, Cherron began to write more serious stories and develop more original plot lines. It is a talent and love Cherron has developed over the years, filling her computer with story after story.

As an author, Cherron began her career as a self-published author in March of 2015. She gives a lot of credit to her family and friends for inspiring her characters and worlds and looks forward to showing them to all of her readers in the near future. Cherron can often be seen at conventions, both for readers and for geeks, as she is and will always be a geek herself, and proud of it.
