The Gildros Duology:
Book 1 Gilded
About to be crowned the Gold Baroness, Lysara finds herself shackled to a man she despises for his position and reputation. She is determined to make the best of a bad situation, and her only goal is to find a way to save her sister who is deathly ill because of forbidden magic. Having to sacrifice herself in the process is par for the course…
When her husband suddenly disappears, the safety of the realm hangs in the balance and she must hold the throne in his stead — and be willing to die trying to save those she loves.
Gilded is set in a realm where wealth and appearance are everything, where magic has long been forbidden, and where a unrest and rebellion are brewing.
Gilded is an epic fantasy at 118,000 words with adventure, mystery, and magic. This story also tackles the themes of generational trauma, social expectations, and the impact of deeply held shame. It asks the question: who are we, when we let go of societal pressures and the need to play our roles?
This book is currently undergoing edits…at a tedious pace because I am trying to do these myself initially.
