Writing high magic fantasy with a sprinkle of spice
Coming October 1st!
A flicker of light in the growing darkness…
The cure for Dark Grace has been found, however Noora Duskbourne cannot rest yet. Every day that passes is another day that tainted magic spreads in Acantha. Through the chaos of training apprentices with the cure, Noora faces a challenge she didn't expect: The Conclave. Thrust into meetings that will decide Acantha's fate, she finds confidence in herself and her knowledge of the corrupted magic.
Despite the trials and tribulations faced, there is an undeniable heat growing between her and Vaeros. Desires that are aching to be released as the careful distance between them starts to shift into something more. But with dark secrets uncovered and unrest brewing, will Noora continue to hold strong or will she falter?
Blood-Forged Crown is the third book in the Darker Shade of Light series, a high magic fantasy with slow-burn spice and dangerous creatures born of corrupted magic.
