The Author and Books
A landscape with a rainbow arching over a green field with a broken fence, a solitary tree, and a fog-shrouded hill in the background, under a partly cloudy sky.

THE STREAM

REVEALS ALL.

BUT WHAT IT

IT SEES MORE

THAN IT SHOULD?

Sarian has excelled as a student aura reader - one of the few who will be given access to the hidden stream to interpret the glowing threads that weave through her kingdom, warning of danger and unrest. But on the day of her assessment, something stirs.

The Stream watches her back. Unspoken truths ripple beneath its surface. A past she can’t remember. A presence reaching out. A test that was never what it seemed. As Sarian’s gift deepens, so do the consequences and the line between duty and destiny begins to blur.

And into the garden she went to play, to seek the magic of the fae, they approved, much amused, as knitted Faeries she did display. The birds they gathered to watch too, a ladybug flew to join the foray, and the trees bent down to watch and whisper, knowing this one had a love of nature.
