BLURB:

 

Alviton was a strong, prospering country, full of light. The people worked side by side with the Fae, creatures blessed with magic. But that was before the war. Massive genocide and fear of the Fae touched everyone as brother turned against brother. Years later, and still reeling from the war, the new generation has clawed and connived to remove the stains left by their predecessors.

Sheltered from this reality, Nydia lives her life relatively happy and ignorant, surrounded by smoke and mirrors. But eventually glass shatters and smoke settles. As she struggles to unveil the truth about herself and the people around her, danger lies on the horizon, threatening to extinguish the small flicker of light in this dark and twisted country.

Excerpt One:

 

“Magic is as real as you and me. It flows, like life, throughout everything, though humans don’t necessarily have access to it, though I hope to figure out a way,” he mused.

 

“Well, have you ever heard of a human using them to share visions like this?” I asked.

 

“Heh,” he lugged over two large blue and red books, “I haven’t even read of the Fae doing something like that. So, you’ve actually given me something else to be looking into.”

 

I wrung out my hands, feeling anxiously defeated. “So, tell me more about yourself Brian. You’re obviously different from most people in our kingdom,” he asked, not really looking up from his desk. “Well, I’m a merchant. I’m married to a designer named Lillian. I grew up in Valicitor,” I started.

 

“Ah, Valicitor? That’s interesting.”

 

He looked at the map again. “You wouldn’t happen to be related to the new governor of that city, Kale Valen?”

 

A mix between pride and shame that I couldn’t quite pin shadowed over me. “Yes, he’s my brother.”

 

“No kidding? Heh,” he crossed his arms and propped against the table.

 

“Please tell me how a man like Governor Valen and you get along?”

 

I looked at the ground, conflicted. “It’s okay. It must be hard, but rest assured my family and I are doing everything in our power to stop the branding, isolating, selling, and abusing our citizens because they lack a piece of paper stating their lineage. Such an outdated practice that has only been proliferated by greed and selfishness.”

 

A ray of light shone through the shadows of my mind. “You are?”

 What are some of the reasons you chose to write in this genre?

 

Because it's my favorite genre to read, haha! It's the go-to, default genre that makes my heart happy! Out of all the genres I've read, fantasy, action, and (side-story) romance have been my favorite.
