In a small Georgia town, Nelle's life has been carefully scripted by her creator, the reclusive author Wallace Quill. Born from ink and imagination, every breath she takes is dictated by his pen. But on a star-studded Fourth of July night, she meets James—a young man with dreams as vivid as the fireworks above them—and suddenly, the unwritten becomes possible.

As Nelle and James fall deeply in love, they embark on a breathtaking journey across Europe, each new experience a defiant stroke against the words that bind her. But freedom has a price. With every mile they travel, the ink in Nelle's veins threatens to rewrite their story. In a world where every moment could be her last, Nelle and James must fight to write their own happily ever after—before the final page turns.

Beware of lies, for they can be deadly. And even enemies can become allies.

Eileen is a Warlock with an affinity for water, using her power to protect her village in Mohana from an invading army. Despised by her companions, feared by her leaders, and hunted by her enemies, Eileen’s life only becomes more dangerous when Prince Finn Hadar, as punishment for a recent crime, is sent by his father to kidnap her. Desperate to make his father proud, he embarks on a quest through the arduous Red Desert and the misty mountains of Mohana.

Finn’s crime is Ciara, a servant and his forbidden love, who he must abandon on his journey into the mountainous north. But Ciara only showed him a sliver of her dark past: a life of secrets and monsters she’s had to suppress…until now.

As their lives intersect, separate, and braid like thread, Finn, Eileen, and Ciara are again and again pushed to their breaking points by the threat of war, blood-thirsty rulers, and their own pasts. The life they’ve always known is behind them and the new world they’re thrown into is wrapped in a turbulent network of intrigue, love, gods, and war.

DAUGHTER OF LIGHT is for ages 16 and up due to graphic violence and romance. This trilogy is perfect for fans of early 2010’s YA epic fantasy. It weaves threads of friendship and romance into an expansive, character-driven story of adventure and war.
