From the World of Spellmonger…
Blessed Darkness Conceal Her!
Born into a mysterious family, Gatina always knew there was something special about those around her. But when the Duke and Duchess of Alshar—close friends of her family—are brutally assassinated, her idyllic countryside life is upended by secrets emerging from the shadows.
The family she knew proved to be more than mere Alshari Coastlords and occasional magi, as she once believed. For centuries, her ancient and distinguished House has been secretly both Shadowmagi and highly skilled thieves. With a devious Count seeking to capitalize on the assassination, the future stability and peace of Alshar hinges on Gatina learning both arts.
Slavery and piracy loom malevolently in the distance as the Count allies himself with a merciless criminal organization to seize power.
Gatina’s House has vowed to stand against the rising tide of wickedness—no matter how hopeless the task may seem. Working in secret beneath the tutelage of an enigmatic and mysterious master, Gatina finds herself disguised as a street orphan. She runs the filthy gutters of Falas as she puts her training into practice amid the dismal reality of its most destitute neighborhoods.
Brutal thugs, violent riots, cunning soldiers, and the constant threat of discovery by the Count and his allies, all put Gatina’s life at risk as she struggles in secret against the rising tyrant.
For as the blessed Darkness conceals her movements by night, she and the Brotherhood engage in a clandestine struggle, something much more deadly than mere…
Shadowheist
Available now on Kindle and Audible!
A young heroine learns that when you hide in the shadows, something darker may
be waiting there for you . . . as the fantasy adventure saga continues.
Having discovered her true heritage, young Gatina is embracing her evolving role as an
apprentice shadowthief. It turns out that procuring things that don’t actually belong to you can
be rather exciting. But the first thing a good thief must learn is how to not get caught. If the
evil usurper Count Vichetral snares Gatina or her beloved family, a truly unpleasant fate
awaits.
So her defiant father has deposited Gatina and her brother in the last place Vichetral’s men
would think to look for them: stately Palomar Abbey. Under the alias of Maid Avorrita of
Dentran—a purposefully dull, bucktoothed maiden studying to be a novitiate—Gatina
quickly comes to enjoy her new life among the elite. And that’s when the trouble truly
begins.
When Gatina’s father takes her along with him to Inmar to meet a fence who can handle
their stolen goods, Vichetral invites them to help enforce his rule—and uncover the very
Shadow Council to which they belong. Then Gatina’s dormant rajira unexpectedly emerges
at the abbey, and she’s secretly tutored in shadowmagic by the mysterious Lady Silva.
What Gatina doesn’t know is that very soon she will need every trick in her book. For a
sinister new threat has arisen, one that will doom any who oppose its growing power. Now,
to save herself, her family, even freedom itself, Gatina will have to prove her skills in steel,
sorcery, and the stars and pull off the ultimate shadowheist . . .
Shadowblade
Coming in March 2024! Pre-order now!
A heroic young thief and her family fight against the darkness that threatens the entire land in the riveting final volume of this fantasy adventure saga.
An increasingly talented and skilled shadowthief, Gatina of House Furtius—known in more rebellious circles as the Kitten of Night—continues her covert work in the ongoing struggle against the vile usurper Count Vichetral. Vichetral’s dominion over the duchy of Alshar has grown ever darker, with slavery now legal and vicious gangs brutally enforcing his will.
Their enemies infiltrating even the Shadow Council in the hunt for Gatina and her family, Gatina’s father decides to meet with the mighty Sea Lords and discover if any are willing to join the effort to take down Vichetral. The voyage also offers Gatina a chance to learn about her distant relatives, who wield their power amidst the waves, and to enhance her facility with her very own, newly forged shadowblade.
But danger can follow across the water as well as land. And Gatina soon finds herself in a desperate battle from which the winner will sail away as the vanquished sinks into the briny deep . . . forever.
The Spellmonger: Legacy and Secrets trilogy introduces a younger Gatina, the Kitten of Night, as she comes into her own as a shadowmage.
