Arcane Rising

2020

A secret past. A forbidden power. Someone’s got some serious explaining to do. After her secretive father dies, Elspeth Quarrie embarks on a quest across the world to discover her unknown Scottish heritage. Landing in Edinburgh, she doesn’t count on her first day being full of creepy graveyards, several attempted abductions, and nightmarish creatures hiding behind human faces. When fate catches up with her, a mysterious stranger by the name of Raurich ‘Rory’ Mackenzie is there to help—only Elspeth does the saving, blasting their attacker with magic she didn’t know she had. Then, as shock sets in, Rory reveals she’s a Druid—an elemental supernatural being with the power to distort the very fabric of nature. Desperate for answers, Elspeth follows Rory into an exciting hidden world where myth is reality and dreams are within reach…but not everything is as magical as it seems. The Druids are being hunted by the Chimera, a dark sect of Fae warriors who desire power above all else. And Elspeth may have just blown their cover. Arcane Rising is the first book of The Darkland Druids, a mystical Urban Fantasy series set in modern day Scotland. A woman with no living relatives travels from Australia to the other side of the world to find out the truth of who she is…only to land in the middle of a prophecy of destruction. Druids, Witches, Fae, and shapeshifters abound in this thrilling magical adventure!

Arcane Revenant

2020

When the black sun rises...nothing is as it seems. The one place Elspeth Odhweine thought she'd find herself, another world wasn't it. As an honoured guest of the Fae court, she finds herself in the middle of a deadly game of political tug of war. She alone holds the fate of an entire race of magical people in her hands and she will either unite them, or send them to their deaths. When they receive a lead on their illusive enemy, the Chimera, Elspeth and her friends embark on a treacherous journey to the top of the world in search for answers. She knows she must unravel the truth of her mother's heritage before all she's fought for turns to dust. Trekking across a glacier seems a small thing to do to find the answers she needs to stop the prophecy coming true. But in the ice and snow lies a truth more deadly than they ever thought possible. For in the heart of the mountain, death awaits the hand of fate. Arcane Revenant is the FINAL book of The Darkland Druids, a mystical Urban Fantasy series set in the spellbinding world of the Fae. A powerful woman, who is the embodiment of death, travels to another world in order to save it...from herself. Can she stop a devastating war from sweeping across a magical land? Find out in this gripping fantasy saga!
