“a gripping and uncompromising dark fantasy that will speak to readers who love stories about power, trauma, and identity forged in fire.”
Available on Kindle Unlimited
When protection shatters, all that’s left is survival.
Raised inside the Empire’s prestigious Miros Institute, Elora believed she was safe—shielded by her mentor, Tehvan, and trained to become an alchemist in service to the Crown. But when that shield breaks, Elora is thrust into the brutal hands of Headmaster Thorn, a man who’s waited years to reshape her in his image.
Her body. Her mind. Her will. Nothing is off-limits.
To survive, Elora must do more than endure—she must resist erasure. But fighting back means walking the line between who she was… and what she’s being forced to become.
Dark alchemy. Gut-wrenching obedience. A protagonist who refuses to kneel.
Thorns of Fate is a searing dark fantasy debut perfect for readers who crave brutal magic systems, morally gray choices, and a heroine forged in the fire of her own ruin.

-Readers’ Favorite
“The author doesn’t sensationalize trauma—she shows how it steals your voice, then quietly reminds you that it can be reclaimed.
If you’re looking for a soft, comforting fantasy, this isn’t it. But if you’ve ever been hurt, felt powerless, or wondered if healing was even possible… this book will see you.”
