NEW RELEASE
She Who Chose War
(Legends of Danaeca #1)
Being empress has been anything but easy for Nevia Bylilly, who left the only life she knew as a primitive clanswoman from the northern mountains of Zenoch to immerse herself in the industrial imperial capital of Velspire. She thought her love for the young, charismatic emperor, Darius II, would be enough to sustain her, yet she didn’t foresee what her life would become: shackled by her jewels and a crown, her voice silenced by customs of a patriarchal society that even Darius dares not challenge.
Nevia’s will is tested further when she is approached by an outlawed seer, who informs her that she must make an impossible choice to deliver the entire continent from its path of death. At first it seems absurd, until the empire faces an energy crisis that sends her husband away on a forbidden voyage in pursuit of a material that is so rare, so precious, that Darius would do anything to obtain it.
Even kill.
At the cost of everything she holds dear, Nevia flees the empire to unveil her husband’s deadly secret and, in turn, chooses a war she tried so hard to prevent—against her country, and her heart.

She Who Brought Death
(Legends of Danaeca #2)
“The only thing I cannot create is death itself. Only you, dear sister, can do that.”
Empress Nevia’s reign over her late husband’s empire has been plagued with death. Grotesque abominations existing only in legend–so-called “Night Creatures”–have been descending upon Danaeca and razing everything in their path, the forever burning core shards seemingly their goal. Yet the people, including King Qirin, are unwilling to discontinue pulling from the life-altering energy source, regardless of the blood it costs them.
Frantic, Nevia seeks to ease the suffering surrounding her, yet gives pause when she discovers a startling truth about herself, suggesting that she may very well play a contributing role in the destruction. After her darkness stirs and she hurts someone dear, her trusted allies shrink away, including the man whom she thought she loved.
Only Saava’s golden promise of restoration spurs Nevia forward to Gaia’s Core where the goddess has slept for a millennium, yet Nevia is unprepared for the very grim reality that she is about to unveil.
Their very existence has been a lie.
The final installment to the Legends of Danaeca duology is nigh. Coming 12.21.24, She Who Brought Death will be available in eBook and paperback.
