I’ve begun querying my current work-in-progress (WIP)! It has been a wild ride. I began this project in 2020 and have been working on it in my free time since. Now, it’s finally ready to query. This WIP is an epic adult fantasy filled with action, tested loyalties, and sacrifice. Check out my book blurb below! Heir Commander Oreia Oksuna returns home from the battlefields victorious and ready to begin building her reign as the next Empress of Teralis. The war is over, the tyrant High Lord of Urlen is dead, and his people are finally free. Oreia returns to her city, Teres Novae, expecting a celebration, not bodies hanging from the city walls. Oreia soon learns that those bodies were once spies for an enemy nation to the north, Garcium. That realization reignites old animosities fueled by a betrayal ten years earlier. Now, the need for vengeance throws Teres Novae into a frenzied hunt for more traitors and spies. Oreia’s mother, Empress Moira, and aunt, Commander Urma, are leading the charge, imprisoning and executing anyone who might be a Garci sympathizer. When Garcium retaliates and abducts Oreia’s half-brother Orion, Teralis launches towards another war with Oreia leading the charge. But this war is not what it seems. As Oreia digs deeper, she begins to question who her real enemies are. She has sworn to do anything to protect her people. Defending Teralis has been her purpose for her entire life. Oreia is the unshakeable, unyielding Heir of Stone, but the events that are unfolding will force her to decide if her loyalty is worth the price of war. As the line between right and wrong blurs, Oreia will discover if she has the strength to face the trials and sacrifices ahead.
