"To hell and back" isn't just an expression.
As the sole orderly of Woodrow Children's Asylum, Christopher Robinson has always done all he can for the children in his care. Risking his life in a terrible storm to get supplies was an expected part of his day. A car wreck leaving him stranded on an island full of monsters wasn't.
Worse, Christopher isn't alone. One of his charges, Mickey, arrived on the strange island with him...then vanished. According to the locals, there is no way out of Wonderland, but Christopher is determined to find Mickey and get both of them home safe and--if possible--sound.
When she is abruptly sent from London to her mother's native Transylvanian town, thirteen year-old Wendy gets to explore the unknown half of her heritage: a rural setting, a new language, a peculiar Grandpa, and twelve magic types. As much as she misses her father, Wendy is determined to partake in the culture of "soarers". She activates her magic - teleportation - which brings with both opportunity and risk. Wendy uncovers not only the rules and history of Zbor, but also the mysterious plan orchestrated by the ruling family.

To help fund the animation and to provide more Alliance Saga content to our audience, Part One of the Shifting Roots novel is now available on Etsy for $1! There may be some changes to the final version in 2024, but we're happy with it!
Collaborating with Star Cat Studio to bring their story to a new medium has been a blast, and I'm so excited to help them continue to produce the animated series alongside the novels. I hope you'll check it out and support this indie project!!
Hi new followers! I wanted to reintroduce my debut novel, The Mist Keeper’s Apprentice, available now!
About
Storytelling was outlawed. Magic had all but vanished.
That all changed when the woman in black came to town.
Branded with the black stamp at a young age, Brent thought he would end up a vagrant like his father. His craft was telling stories, but the Order had long forbidden any weaving of tales. When Brent sees the woman in black, she leads him into a menagerie of tunnels beneath the earth where his life falls into the nauseating, but beautiful, mist of the dead.
He finds friendship in Rho, a young woman who hides her face with a tree branch while roots and vines bow to her every whim. Together, they embark on a journey to explore the world, escape the watchful eyes of the Order, and discover the woman in black’s secrets.
For thousands of years, the mist and the tunnels were under the sole guardianship of the Council of Mist Keepers. But as new monsters enter the mist, and magic is forced out of the shadows, the Council searches for young blood to join their ranks and Brent’s next in line.

Rating System
★★★★★
This book is absolutely spectacular. I could not find any flaws in it and will be thinking about it for years! Everyone should add this to their shelves!
★★★★☆
This book was great! I really enjoyed it despite a few minor things. Definitely recommend this book!
★★★☆☆
This book was good. I enjoyed it and definitely think others will as well. There were some issues that prevent me from rating it higher though.
★★☆☆☆
While this book wasn’t necessarily the greatest book and there were some pitfalls in it, it definitely has its merits and I can see why people should check it out. Don’t let my review sway you from not taking a look.
★☆☆☆☆
Very rarely do I give 1 star reviews. These are typically reserved for books that I find completely and utterly irredeemable. This is rare.
☆☆☆☆☆ (DNFs)
I won’t rate a DNF unless I make it half-way through the book. If I do not reach that point, I will still leave a review WITHOUT a star rating explaining why I did not finish the book. I do not think I can give an honest opinion on a book unless I reach that 50% mark.

who else is mega excited!! @byjillianmaria‘s debut novel is now out; I absolutely can’t wait until I have time to read my copy, if you haven’t bought yours already you should absolutely make the investment! ❤🧡💛
