Child of the Sun is out now!

Neoma wants a normal life with her soulstar, Luca, but the Moon Mother has other plans for her.

Get the whole series!
Book 1: books2read.com/ChildoftheMoon
Book 2: books2read.com/ChildoftheFo...
Book 3: books2read.com/ChildoftheSun
Child of the Sun out now! A prophecy on top of prophecies with an ominous warning. An event that changes everything. A clock that tick, tick, ticks down. Background: faded morning sun on water. Child of the Sun tropes: ticktock, everyone is queer!, hurt/comfort, "I promise you this", she's the bait, chosen one?, soulstars platonic and otherwise, BFFs with a God, friends with animals, war on the horizon, shadowy organization. Background: faded morning sun on water. Child of Prophecy series as a whole: romantic epic high fantasy, starts as a coming of age young adult series but will end with characters in their mid to late 20s married with kids. It will still be appropriate for younger audiences. Demisexual, demiromantic MC, queer rep, mental health rep, extensive world building. Spice levels: CotM: yearning, CotF: kisses, CotS and beyond: fade to black. 1st person, present tense. Background: faded morning sun on water.
