New Book Alert: Belladonna's Curse

In a land of corrupted magic and twisted divine intentions, how far would you go to set things right? It is precariously thin, the line between justice and the actions you take to achieve it. This tightrope—frayed and snapping—is Akira’s greatest challenge, even above the trials and her deadly gift.

The treacherous games and corruption orchestrated by her family’s rule must end. Should Akira fail, innocent people will die, her mother’s created monsters will overrun the land, and she will become the very nightmare she despises. Tired of her perceived petulance, her father forces a blood oath to obtain the capacity for change. Kill someone innocent and of equal power. The instructions are clear. Except, it’s unattainable. For her power as poisoner and the temptation it speaks reigns with ferocious strength above all else. In the throes of magic, her soul will always remain the price.

If she completes the challenge and gives in to the intoxicating effects of her sentient magic, she will lose the remaining pieces of her soul and align herself with cruelty. Perhaps she will excuse one more death for a larger goal or create a different avenue for the necessary changes. Whatever her decision, one thing wages war against her: treason and how to accomplish it.

As an author, my stories are both enchanting and eerie. Belladonna's Curse is a journey into the unknown, where flawed characters face dark choices--there will never be a perfect answer.

A Glimpse into the Social Commentary

A good story is never just a story. We live in a world with various shades of gray continually coloring the lens in which we view it. While readers will enjoy Belladonna's Curse without picking up on the themes, social commentary is woven between the pages for those who read deeper.

What kind of commentary can you expect?

• Temptation

• Corruption of power

• The price of complicity

• Hard decisions are rarely popular

• No one is free until everyone is free

• The lengths one is willing to go to for justice

Belladonna's Curse asks you: Everyone says they will do the right thing, but who are you when it comes down to it?
