Latest release & second book

The Separation of Briin

I have just released my second book, “The Separation of Briin”, a prequel novella to my debut epic fantasy novel, “The Assays of Ata”.

About the book

Though it’s set in the same world as The Assays of Ata and is related to it in many ways, events in this novella take place almost six hundred years prior to those in Assays, and the novella can therefore be read as a standalone.

Described as an “engagingly intimate chapter in this intricate, sprawling fantasy series” by Kirkus Reviews, ‘The Separation of Briin’ will draw you into the compelling world of Áitarbith and keep you enthralled long after you leave.
Perfect for fans of Trudi Canavan, Mary E. Pearson, and Tamora Pierce.

Two kingdoms on the brink of war. A forbidden gift that could change everything. A woman caught between loyalty, survival, and destiny.

Ata, born of royal blood yet treated as an outsider, has learned the power of shadows. Disguised as a servant within the halls of her enemy’s palace, she navigates treachery and deceit with sharp wit and unyielding resolve. But when monstrous forces stir beyond the borders and her hidden ability shatters the laws of magic, Ata must decide: protect her secret or risk everything to save her people.
