The Curse of Ophelia
August 28th - 7:15 PM EST (Google Meet)
The war is over. The curse is lifted. Malakai is gone.
It’s been two years since Ophelia has seen the boy she loves. When a treaty was signed ending the war and lifting the curse on their clan, Malakai left to attempt a sacred, coming-of-age ritual to become a fully ascended warrior.
He never returned, the ritual was forbidden, and Ophelia’s world crumbled around her.
Since then, she has pursued a fruitless search for answers. When the fatal curse resurfaces only on her, Ophelia finds solace in the idea that when she dies, she may finally be reunited with her lost love.
Then, a messenger appears, telling her that she alone may be the one to restore her warrior clan and find Malakai.
With her found family, Ophelia embarks on a race against death—one that will not only challenge her physically, but make her question clan leaders, the Angels, and her belief in love.
Can she win the fight against fate before her curse takes her life, or will the betrayals exposed along the way kill her first?
With influence from Greek Mythology, this debut is the first in a New Adult Epic Romantic Fantasy series full of heart-wrenching love, shattering betrayals, and fighting for what you believe in. Fans of Throne of Glass, From Blood and Ash, and The Bridge Kingdom will love it.
Begin the quest now with book one, The Curse of Ophelia!

When I Come Back
August 29th - 8:00 PM EST (IG Live)
Thirteen years ago, Carrington Grant and Thea Ashford left Indigo Hill, South Carolina with a shared dream of a larger life that only Seattle could offer. Cary hoped to be the next big chef with his childhood sweetheart at his side, leaving his estranged family behind without a second glance.
Eight years ago, Thea moved back home to care for her sick mother, leaving Carrington alone in Seattle. It was the hardest decision she’d ever made, shattering both of their hearts in the process. Moving back to the small town she once tried to escape, Thea promised herself she’d still chase her dreams despite her circumstances.
Now, after a devastating tragedy, they’re brought back together in Indigo Hill. Upon returning, Carrington realizes everything he once knew about his hometown and the woman he never stopped loving has changed.
While grieving the loss of two people important to her, Thea must learn how to work with the man she never fell out of love with. They’re pushed together in a way neither of them could have imagined. Will they rediscover love again and finally mend their broken hearts? Will they be able to forgive each other for their previous mistakes? Or will they stay trapped in the past unable to truly move on?
