I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but after two years of working to get my YA fantasy novel Darkness Rise published, I’ve finally done it!

You can pre-order it starting today, and it will be released on November 20th by Darkstroke Books. In the meantime, I’m looking for bloggers and YouTubers to review it, so let me know if you’re interested! I’d love to give you a free copy in exchange. 🙂

If you want to pre-order the ebook (the paperback should be up soon), click HERE.

I’m so thrilled to be able to share this news with all of you, as many of you have been following my blog since before I wrote the first draft of Darkness Rise in 2018.

Even if you don’t decide to buy the book now, you can add it to your Goodreads wishlist and help me spread the word! I would greatly appreciate it.

Please let me know if you do any of these things so I can thank you properly. Here’s a little bit more about the book:

Sospes is the only magic-free civilization in Mysticus. People with supernatural abilities—known commonly as wielders—are banished upon discovery.

Kydessia Swift, daughter of the current mayor and descendant of the city’s founder, has a secret: The forces of nature are hers to command.

Following a betrayal, Dessie finds herself being cast out of the only home she’s ever known. Now vulnerable to the wild creatures beyond Sospes’ border, she must journey to the one place she knows where she’d be accepted.

But the trees have been whispering of a rising darkness. Peace might not be as easy as she thought.

Will Dessie’s path lead her into danger, or will she reach her safe haven?

You can also learn more about the book on my new Darkness Rise website, Darkness-Rise.com.

Thanks for being such amazing, loyal readers. I couldn’t have gotten this far without you!
