I know this is late coming, lol, but:
There’s a particular kind of nervous excitement that comes with writing a book — the long nights, the stubborn chapters, the scenes that suddenly click into place. But there’s another moment that feels just as vulnerable and just as thrilling: showing you the cover for the very first time.
Today’s that day.

Thanks to the talented Natalie Narbonne at NMT Designs for this amazing piece of art. It captures the heart of the story in a way I didn’t expect — the atmosphere, the tension, the spark that started this whole project. Seeing it come to life made everything suddenly feel real.
I’m so proud (and a little terrified) to share the official cover for my newest novel:
When magic turns against its wielder, forgiveness becomes the deadliest trial of all.
For six years, a voice inside his head has tormented him; growing louder, stronger, impossible to silence. Now Tyr is hanging by a thread, his fire magic spiraling out of control and his sanity slipping with it. Not even his family can pull him back from the edge.
As Tyr’s warring magic threatens to tear him apart from within, the Spirit of Fire appears with a chilling bargain:
Come to my lands. Complete my trials. And I will fix what is breaking you.
Trusting Tan may be Tyr’s only chance at survival…
…or the quickest path to his destruction.
Sheyna, Captain of the New City Fireguard, lives by one unbreakable creed:
No one fights alone.
So, when the Spirit of Water called in her life debt requesting she help Tyr; she jumps at the chance. Because he’s the one person she’d do anything to protect.
Together they must journey into the lands of fire, face dangerous trials, and confront the volatile magic tearing Tyr apart from within.
Balance demands a price.
And this time…
The cost may be more than they can bear.
