Thank you to my early readers, my editor, my cover artist, my family, and my Kickstarter backers. Your support is the reason this book exists! 💛

Soon, I get to share them w/you.

Meet Rowynn Murchada ✨

A conscripted soldier with forbidden magic rising inside her… and a demon of starlight and shadow who haunts her dreams.

She’s the protagonist of Star of Shalik, my upcoming fantasy releasing Winter 2026.💫

Visited one of my favorite nature spots✨

This Audubon field inspired the setting outside Mæve’s cabin in The Chrysillium Tree and Star of Shalik.

Rowynn and Zi return here in SoS, and a key scene unfolds in this very field🌿

Sharing a bit of behind-the-scenes magic.
