Description

Step into the magical world of the Althuria Chronicles . . .

Daggers and Destiny
A strange stone. A pursuit for power. A new beginning.

An orphan with no job, no home, and no last name, sixteen-year-old Mala scrapes along day by day with her younger brother, Baz, in their small village.

But when she discovers a mysterious stone, her whole world comes crashing down. Suddenly, she faces massive adversity, a quest for bloody revenge, and a power so great she fears it.

Will she find peace amidst the chaos? Or is her world fated to burn?

Brimming with magic, action, and a riveting quest for revenge, Daggers and Destiny explores a world of ruination and renewal. This prequel is an exciting, epic YA fantasy adventure exploring the wondrous kingdom of Althuria.

Smoke and Spells
An ordinary girl. A rare power. A deadly game.

Lie low. Don’t draw attention to yourself.

Fifteen-year-old Asha Olinger has abided by her sister’s rules her entire life. Every day, she works relentlessly as a cleaner to put food on the table, scrambling in the dredges of Althuria. Every day, she wonders about a life where she no longer struggles for a few measly coins.

But after discovering she wields a rare and destructive power, her quiet life is turned upside down. Her older sister gives her a mysterious warning. Lex Sylvester, with his fame, wealth, and stupidly charming looks—that she certainly never, ever noticed—starts flirting with her. And to top it all off, she receives a letter from the famed Luminus Academy, declaring that she got accepted through the lottery system. The terrifying probabilities quickly turn into incredible opportunities, and suddenly controlling her power doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

What is this darned ability of hers? Why does everyone keep telling her to stay away from the Queen of Althuria? And more importantly . . .

Who the heck is murdering girls at the Academy?

If she doesn’t find out soon . . . she might just be next.

Designed to thrill with its magic, mystery, and murder, Smoke and Spells is the first instalment in the Althuria Chronicles coming-of-age fantasy series.

Shadows and Shifters
A missing sister. An assassination plot. A mysterious mark.

The Queen knows who Asha is . . . and will do anything to steal her void magic.

In their last encounter in the void, Asha barely escaped the Queen’s clutches. With every moment bringing Asha closer to inevitable doom, Professor Sylvester uses his ties to the growing rebellion in Althuria to give her refuge. With Lex and Zaniyah, they work relentlessly to dismantle the Queen’s tyrannical grip over the kingdom.

But everything is going haywire.

Asha’s void magic is unreliable, a mysterious mark appears on her ankle—one Professor Sylvester is certain must be connected to the Queen—and her sister is missing. Even the once-safe forests now burst with danger, and creatures prowl through the night, making it nearly impossible to find Althea.

With her life hanging by a thread, Asha must confront a terrifying decision: Does she abuse her power and wreak havoc upon the world, or face the death of the person she loves most?

A story about friendship, flawed heroines, and earth-shattering revelations, Shadows and Shifters is the second instalment in the Althuria Chronicles coming-of-age fantasy series.
