A thief-turned-warrior discovers she was never the one pulling the strings…

when her god finally answers her prayers to tell her to wake him. But secrets yet unknown may bury her—or set her down a path she can’t return from.

A woman desperate for belonging.

A dragon waiting to be woken.

A prince who loves his kingdom.

An empire waiting to be rebuilt.

The worldbuilding of the Priory of the Orange Tree meets the morally gray characters of the Poppy War in this adult, dark Narnia-inspired fantasy debut: HARBINGERS OF WAR.

About

Effy is a healthcare consultant by day and an avid reader and writer by night. Among others, since she’s afflicted by a raging desire for academic affirmation, she has a degree and background in Professional Writing and Rhetoric, working as an ESL tutor for graduate students before publishing weekly articles for an online magazine as a Travel and Social Action writer. After writing short thrillers and sci-fi stories for as long as she can remember, she currently writes epic fantasy that highlights characters exploring morality and redemption. As a military spouse and brat, she loves to travel and gets itchy staying in one place for too long. Both she and her husband are pilots, so they have a deep-seated love for all things aviation and enjoy spending time outdoors with their two German Shepherds and preparing for their first child.
