Sapphira Dawn was told she was the new Goddess Incarnate, the most powerful being on Earth.
At nineteen, she didn’t feel powerful – she felt betrayed and angry.
Suddenly thrust into a world that she knows nothing about, a world where magic and monsters actually exist, Sapphira races to learn all she can about her magic.
And to find her place in this dangerous new world.
Some of the monsters want to use her, the others just want her dead.
But can she gain the knowledge needed to stop an impending war before it spills into the human realm she once called home.
“Sapphira has got to be one the best MC’s I have come across of late!… I cannot wait to see where the rest of this story heads!” – Jade Francis, Author of Siren Calls
“If you’re wanting to dive into an excellent example of the fantasy world, where the cruel Gods use their power over the world and its inhabitants to their advantage this book is for you. I turned the last page and the word that came to mind was…Excellent. I am looking forwarding to reading the next book in the series. I highly recommend you grab a copy for yourself.” – Stephanie B. Whitfield, Author of Hidden in Roll
INTERVIEW
- What is on your nightstand?
A book about superstitions from around the world (Research for book 2)
And The Girl in the Letter by Emily Gunnis (my current read)
My phone and water bottle.
- What author would you totally fan?
So many! Some of my favorites are L.K Hamilton, S.J Maas, G.R.R Martin, Lynette Noni, Isobelle Carmody, and J.R.R Tolkien.
- What makes you cringe?
People staring – or chewing loudly!
In books, it would be some of the ridiculous words used in intimate scenes. I don’t know why, but I’m not a fan of hearing things like ‘silk-wrapped steel’ or ‘moist folds’
- Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
I used to plot out a lot – but the characters tend not to stick to it as I write, so I’m learning to go with the flow more.
- Is there a word you love to use?
In my writing I’ve noticed that I use ‘smirked’ a lot.
In my everyday life, I love to use ‘love’ as much as I can. But I think I say ‘No’ the most.
