My books are written in a way that I followed my characters lead, seeing where they take me. They are dark at times, with moments of sorrow, loss, and heartache, yet lighter moments too. Knowing this, I am mindful that certain themes in these books might be difficult for some readers.
In book one, these include signs of depression and moments of self-harm in one character, who, because of circumstances does reference to unalive themselves. With another character, there are a couple of spicy scenes in the book. These are on chapter 16, A New Reign and 21 Allies. If you don’t like high spice, go ahead, and start reading both these chapters, but skip to the next one when those scenes come up (you’ll know when you reach them). Although I do recommend reading the last 5 paragraphs of Allies, as there is some key detail for the rest of the book! Sorry I cannot be more specific with page numbers but depending on the format you are reading this in, I don’t want to accidentally give readers the wrong pages to stop or start at.
In book 2, there are similar themes again, with a couple of open-door spicy scenes, a detailed birth scene, torture and mentions of unaliving children from Elinor.
In book 3, it does get quite darker still, with a lot of deaths (chapter 22 look out for). Elinor becomes even more unhinged, and by this point, it’s game on for the throne, with both sides stopping at nothing to win.

A great treachery. A kingdom torn asunder. A dethroned queen seeking justice.
For a millennium, the prosperous land of Ethos revelled in the protection of the Divine Spirit and the unshakeable bond of the Royal Family. But all that changed with a devastating betrayal within the monarchy.
Consumed by the desire to rule, the king's older sister, Elinor, kills the king and imprisons the queen. Firmly seated on her new throne, Elinor craves absolute power and fixates on reassembling the lost magical shards of Ethos. With them, she will become the supreme ruler.
In the wake of treachery, the young twins are forced to flee, finding refuge in the care of their mystical grandfather. The looming question is whether he can shield them from the clutches of the ruthless traitor queen, or if their mother, the imprisoned queen, can escape to reunite with her children.
Believing her family dead, all hope seems lost for Cecilia. But when the high priestess visits her with news of her twins, she is filled with new life and determination. Planning a daring escape, she knows she must getaway. It's the only way to protect her children and save Ethos from a vindictive and heartless tyrant, Elinor.
The one who reunites the crystal shards will reign supreme
A kingdom in turmoil. A ruthless queen’s reign.
For every secret revealed, another mystery unfolds.
Eight years have passed, and the Kingdom of Ethos remains under the iron rule of the ruthless Queen Elinor. But not everything is going according to her plan. Forces are gathering to challenge her reign, and the quest for the crystal shards has begun.
Aevah and Jacob, leaving the safety of Middleback Farm, embark on a perilous journey to seek the shards that hold the power to change their world. Meanwhile, George finds himself entangled in a web of deceit and danger. His fate intertwined with the kingdom's future.
Cecilia, determined to find and aid her children, searches for the rebels who might be their only hope. But time is running out, and the stakes have never been higher. Can she find them before it's too late?
The battle for Ethos is about to begin in a world where magic flows, villains rule, and the line between good and evil is blurred.
Will the forces of light prevail, or will darkness reign supreme?
A realm on the brink. A forgotten power returns. Every choice seals a fate.
A forgotten prophecy stirs as the kingdom of Ethos teeters on the edge of collapse. Shards of a powerful relic lie scattered, and both sides – those who would rule and those who would resist – will stop at nothing to claim them. As the final hunt begins, the fate of the realm rests not only with those who hold power but with those brave enough to defy it.
Aevah, hunted through the snowy peaks of Azend, carries the last hope of the resistance. With Elinor’s guards closing in and the final shard hidden deep within the mountains, every step could be her last.
Jacob, on his own journey, rallies unexpected allies and finds a reunion when he needs it most. As he nears what he seeks, he is caught by Elinor’s men. Now, with the odds against him and time running out, can he and the rebels escape before everything falls apart?
Cecilia, forging rebellion along the realm’s fractured roads, sees her army grow even as doubt takes root. The war will demand more than she’s willing to give, but surrender is no longer an option.
Elinor, the queen who would be eternal, grows more dangerous by the day. With dark magic swelling at her command and a zealous order of priestesses by her side, she believes nothing can stand in her way. But the realm itself begins to push back.
The endgame has begun. In a realm where magic demands balance and ambition feeds darkness…
One will rise. One will fall. And nothing will ever be the same.
