Stars in the Winter Sea
Shadowbreaker - Book 1
Coming September 2, 2026 via Kindle Unlimited, libraries and print.
From the desolate outer-lands of Almeria, Rowan Forrester is taken
by the Regime to a lush valley of power and privilege. Upon her arrival, she
unwittingly awakens magic long thought gone when the settlers drove out the
fae. Before she can unravel its secrets, the resistance captures her and
reveals that the Regime is deceiving the realm with deadly consequences.
Freedom is short-lived, and Rowan’s dragged back under the Regime’s
control. She’s bound to a single edict: use her rare Finder gift to locate
an ancient artifact said to balance the island’s light and dark. As Rowan’s
powers awaken, she uncovers the truth behind the imbalance. Half human, half
forbidden fae, her birth was the breach that shattered the island’s
equilibrium… and the key to obliterating it entirely.
Caught between two enemies, Rowan is forced on a perilous quest
alongside the Governor’s ruthless enforcer. A man she cannot trust, whose
touch ignites a dangerous, undeniable attraction. Betrayal shadows every
step, and desire blurs every line. But the artifact is calling. The darkness
is spreading.
Rowan must decide what she’s willing to become… savior, weapon, or sacrifice. Because saving Almeria may mean luring the exiled fae out of hiding… and crushing her humanity in the process. If the darkness doesn’t destroy them all first.
