August Monroe just
wanted to become a chef…
…instead she finds herself trapped on the wrong side of the world when a Sovereign Leader cleaves the world in two.
Trading grief for sharpened knives, she joins a resistance determined to reclaim what was stolen, and finally hold the magical powers of her realm accountable.
Her desperate fight leads her to infiltrate a powerful palace, where she finds unexpected allies and uncovers a terrifying truth. As secrets unravel, August must decide how far she'll go for justice, and who she'll have to become to achieve it.
Publishing a book has been a bucket-list dream since high school, but it wasn't until last year, amidst a period of personal healing, that I truly committed. My creative roots can be traced back to countless fantasy and magical books, and now I can say I have my own story to share.
Auras of the Fallen Stars is my fantastical daydream brought to life, infused with pieces of myself and every human I've encountered along the way. Through its raw, realistic pages, I aim to create a world that feels both welcoming and cathartic, hoping readers find not just an escape, but also a profound connection, knowing they're not alone.
“Truly heart-pounding stuff.”
— editor, initial feedback
“The dinner scene captivated me, with vivid details of social anxiety and tension causing intense secondhand embarrassment. August’s clumsy entrance into high society was painful to read, making me wish I could jump in further.”
