Magic is a death sentence. But fate has other plans.
When Alaine is pulled into a world where magic means death, she becomes a threat the crown prince can't ignore. But as secrets come to light and loyalties shift, their fates become more entwined than either of them bargained for.

D24: Friendship

Alaine has a childhood best friend named Matthew, though their friendship is tested a bit in this WIP. She also makes some new friends, and grows closer to the new acquaintance she’s met.

D23:

Mia likes Alaine and wants to be closer friends with her.

Kuin also likes Alaine, maybe in more ways than one?👀🤷🏻‍♀️

Antoni…he sees her as a thorn in his side.

Karlen enjoys her company and her excitement for learning.

Cullin adores her and loves having her home.

That’s so sweet of you! It is a sequel, so I’m not sure if I should have people who haven’t read the first book read the second one first? Or just reach out to my betas who have read the first book.

D22: WIP Stage

I am currently writing draft 3 and wanting to get this draft ready for my beta readers. It’s been a slow process so far but hopefully I can finish it before the end of this year.

D21:

For me: all the above lol

Alaine: tea and occasional iced lattes.

Mikael: tea of course, and I think he would like hot chocolate☕️

D20: Favorite side character

I hate picking favorites. All of them are special to me! But if I really had to choose-I like Kuin because he’s awkward & takes his job as personal guard very seriously. I like Mia & her determination to remain positive in a world that tears her down.

D19: Saturday Snippet

D18: What mythical creature would I want as a pet?

Who wouldn’t want a pet dragon? Though I can decide if I would like one small enough to hang out on my shoulders or one big enough to ride🤔

#fantasyindiesjuly

D17: Yes! Kuin is Alaine’s personal guard and he came in during the final draft, and left am impression on some of my readers. He might have more of a role in this sequel👀
#fantasyindiesjuly

D16: If I made a side character a MC, I would choose Mia. She’s struggling with being harmed by her father, discovering her father isn’t her biological dad, having to leave her home, & learning about herself and who she is. It would be a self-discovery fantasy story in her shoes.

D15: Line from WIP I’m proud of.
#fantasyindiesjuly

D14: Coping with Stress

There’s a lot of running their hands through their hair. Some nail biting, pacing, arguing, or talking it out.

#fantasyindiesjuly

D13: Themes

Some of the themes in my CC Sequel revolve around finding purpose, learning to do the right thing, and forgiving yourself.

#fantasyindiesjuly

D12: Saturday Snippet: Complicated

#fantasyindiesjuly

D11: Free Friday

Karlen is an old friend of the royal family. He was in his early twenties when he tutored Alaine’s mom Elynor, and after she became queen and married Lennon, she asked Karlen to live in the palace and tutor her children. Now, he is back to assist Alaine.
