Ella's Dominion
Book One of The Lost Warriors
Forbidden magic. Dark desires. A life not her own.
‘Burning. Ella felt the word open and swallow her. It was what they did to witches, to heretics. Cleansed them. Burned them alive.’

A mere pawn in her family’s political machinations, she’s forced to hide her magic at the risk of enslavement—or worse. Against a backdrop of political intrigue and heresy, Ella finds herself torn between two brothers—lust for one and love for the other—and must confront the unintended consequences of using her powers to navigate the dangerous world she inhabits, lest she burn for it.

Ella’s Curse
Book Two of The Lost Warriors
Cursed. Forbidden. Betrayed.
‘The Curse hurts not only the violator—it touches those around them. It’s said to bring horror thrice over.’
All Ella’s life, the threat of Xenon’s Curse has loomed. The Curse of War and the Curse of Death. But when forced to live alongside the Sworn Priestesses of the Black Moon while carrying her forbidden child, she discovers the Curse is not all it seems.
Back in Ycelt, Gohran redoubles his efforts to stamp out heresy under the guiding hand of his head priest as the tendrils of Ella’s power wrap themselves tighter around the lives of everyone she holds dear, threatening to tear them apart.
Venn, her erstwhile betrothed, risks the prosperity of his lands in his grief. Jonas, unmoored by Ella’s apparent passing, finds himself tangled in a larger web of political intrigue and religious conspiracy than he could have imagined.
Will Gohran’s rash behaviour and Ella’s yearning for freedom lead them all down a path of darkness not seen since the time of the Ancients?
