Escape into Faerie

The shadows stole her mother. She’s next.

The Court of Dreams is finally live! I can’t express how excited (and bubble-gut nervous, sorry tmi) I’ve been about the release of my first book. The Kingdoms of Kaelum series has been 10 years in the making and it’s finally here for you to enjoy.

I fell in love with the characters (especially Meredith and Alixandra) and I can’t wait for you to spend time
