Hi everyone,
I just released the first chapters of my novel, and I wanted to share it here—nervous and excited in equal measure.
Crown of Ash and Bonds is a romantic epic fantasy about a woman who loses everything… and gets one impossible chance to take her power back.
It’s full of court politics, ancient magic, slow-burn trust, and soul-deep bonds. But at its heart, it’s about grief, second chances, and reclaiming your story when the world tries to write you out.
She died in fire. She woke up in the past. And this time, she remembers everything.
This story has been with me for years. Writing it has been cathartic, healing, and deeply personal—especially in memory of two loved ones I lost around this time of year. I’ve poured a lot of myself into it.
If any of that resonates with you, I’d be honored if you gave it a read:

If you enjoy it, feel free to add it to your library or leave a comment—I’d love to talk with you about it. Truly, your support means the world.
Thanks for letting me share this with you
