My Books

Epic tales of magic, rebellion, and destiny inspired by West African and Arabian mythology.

Cleopatra

Cleopatra

You know my name.

But you do not know me.

Your historians call me seductress, but I was ever in love's thrall.

Your playwrights speak of witchcraft, but my talents came from the gods themselves.

Your poets sing of my blood-lust, but I was always protecting my children.

How wilfully they refuse to concede that a woman could be powerful, strategic, divinely blessed to rule.

Death will silence me no longer.

This is not the story of how I died. But how I lived.

The Faebound Trilogy

Divided by blood. Imprisoned by fate. Bound by desire. Welcome to the intoxicating world of the fae.

The Ending Fire Trilogy

The Empire rules by blood. Red is the blood of the elite. Blue is the blood of the poor. Clear is the blood of the invisible.
