Not yet published
Expected 30 Apr 26“It was then that she found her sweet, sweet freedom. It was always with her, but only found in doing the things that scared her the most.”
A dreamer without ambition, barista Clara Rivers longs for a job outside of The Bean Queen. Trapped between past experiences and the woman she hopes to become, Clara's childhood dream of adventure comes true after playing a long-forgotten game with a fistful of dirt and a ray of light. However, Clara will experience more than nostalgia when she's transported into a magical world that her child-self would have loved.
Lonely and scared, Clara's arrival causes a stir as she looks and acts differently from others. Yet, amidst the confusion, there's a mark branded on her brow that everyone can see but her. Confronted with the hard truth of living in an unfamiliar realm full of strange creatures, temperamental mages, beautiful healers, and a brave, cheeky knight, Clara struggles to find her place in the enchanted world. Then, when the castle's ancient mage chants a cryptic prophecy, Clara will need to embody her imagined self as Ancora Castle looks to her to defeat the fabled Lectus.
Torn between fear and bravery, Clara puts her trust in her companions as she's haunted by harrowing fantasies and hazy phantoms. Unable to picture herself victorious, Clara must battle the stories she tells herself and the dangers of an untamed world while the reality of something bigger looms closer.

About the author

2 books27 followersIt all started when…
I was in the darkest part of my life and I did something brave. Unable to find a way to ease my anxiety, I needed someone to experience that bravery with. Opening my computer, I began to type:
“It was a fun game, pretending to be magical.”
The story seemed to write itself and took me along for the journey. I’ve always had a certain fondness for words, but me? An author?
As the adventure unfolded, I fell in love. I found where I belong and in that belonging, something to live for. But more importantly, I began to hear another voice. The one that believed in me. That voice reminded me that even in my weakest time, greatness can be found.
