As a doctor, Maria has always lived to heal. But when her magic awakens, she discovers a power that transcends medicine. A gift tied to the element of water itself. Her role in the coming time jump could mean life or death for those she loves most.
Yet healing across centuries comes with a cost. Leaving her daughter, Mia, behind. Maria grapples with an impossible embrace the prophecy or stay anchored in the present. To step into her destiny, she must believe that healing isn’t only about saving others, it’s also about trusting herself.
Raised in a quaint lakeside town in southern Ontario, N.G. Avant moved to Ottawa, Ontario as a young adult to realize her childhood dream of residing in Canada’s capital, which was built on the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People. She has a post-secondary education in journalism and worked in municipal politics for more than five years, an experience that sparked the inspiration for her Capital City series.
Avant always felt like a misfit among misfits. Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, she didn’t realize she was neurodivergent until her 30s. Now, she embraces the many gifts it brings, including her quirky personality.
Avant is a proud intersectional feminist. She believes that we are all connected by our humanity and the human experience.
Avant, is a millennial single mother to three wonderful daughters, has a growth mindset, love of animals, a passion for trusting her intuition, and supporting the creation of a more equitable world where everyone has an opportunity to thrive. Avant seeks to highlight the experiences of marginalized communities through her writing. While some progress has been made, there is still more work to be done.
It’s time for change.
