✨ Announcing New Fantasy Series: The Ember of Elyndros
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by dragons, faeries, and magical realms. Most of the books I read were about a young boy discovering magic and going on epic adventures. So, I figured it was time I wrote a story for the young heroines out there too. I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my new fantasy series: the Ember of Elyndros.
Book 1: The Pretender & the Waking Woods is will be available on Kindle and Paperback in mid-November 2026. Geared towards ages 8-14, this series follows Caelyra, a girl whose imagination has always felt a little too real — until the day she learns it actually is. What begins as a unexpected encounter with a mysterious stranger quickly unravels into a prophecy, a hidden magic, and a race to find The Last Ember before the magic of Elyndros disappears forever.
This series is full of wonder, courage, friendship, and magic. I cannot wait to share Caelyra’s story with you. Stay tuned for details on how to get your copy!
About the Series:
Caelyra never expected her imagination to lead to a prophecy. But when a mysterious stranger tells her she has magic, suddenly nothing is normal anymore. Now she has to find an Elder to teach her how to control her power, figure out how to be The Chosen, and discover where The Last Ember is hidden before the magic of Elyndros disappears forever.
Caelyra thought finding the Ember would be the hard part. She was wrong. The magic of Elyndros is fading faster than anyone expected, and The Last Ember is being faithfully guarded by the fearsome Fae Folk and a dragon. Caelyra must prove her courage, earn their trust, and uncover the truth behind the ancient pact that binds them to the Hidden Hollow. If she fails, the Ember will remain hidden forever and the magic of Elyndros will vanish with it.
Caelyra had always dreamt of dragons but never truly believed she would see one. Now she is a Dragon Rider. Across the realm, an uprising is growing and the magic of Elyndros is shifting. Men desperate to possess its’ power are twisting magic into something unstable and dangerous, threatening everything The Last Ember was meant to preserve. Caelyra must find a way to protect the spark and stop them before Elyndros becomes under the control of something dark and terrible.
