Overview: In a world where ancient magic meets emerging technology, unlikely heroes must navigate treacherous alliances and unravel hidden truths to prevent an impending apocalypse.
The Heart of Quinaria is a multi-POV epic fantasy series drawing inspiration from indigenous, far eastern, and middle eastern cultures, as well as the industrial period and its impact on the environment. It explores themes of morality, religion, and clashing cultures in a developing world. Though it delves further into darkness as the series progresses, there’s an underlying glimmer of hope. If you like diverse, morally gray characters, original world-building, and high stakes, this is for you. Think Skyrim meets Disney’s Atlantis meets Horizon Zero Dawn, with the complex lore and wold-building of Tolkien.

Of Thieves and Shadows (#1)
Some secrets are best left to the shadows. But shadows have a mind of their own.
The ancient land of Quinaria teeters on the brink of war, as its most precious resource is unearthed and exploited. Three nations have maintained tenuous peace for centuries, but as the life-giving nevethium dwindles, rumors of an ancient evil long thought dead spread like wildfire.
Elaysia never wanted to lead. As the high chieftain’s only surviving heir, she’s thrust into a role that jeopardizes the already fragile peace. A deadly attack on the day of her induction strengthens her resolve—and her suspicion that her parents’ murders and these disturbing rumors are connected.
With newfound companions, she embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. But as they unravel layers of secrets, they find themselves in the clutches of a dictator whose unethical nevethium experimentation threatens to bring about a new world of terror and violence.
Elaysia and her allies could be all that stands between war and a dying world—if their conflicting ambitions don’t destroy them first.
Of Love and Loss (#2)
War has come to Neharem.
Despite surviving betrayal, capture, and a deadly challenge to reclaim her position as high chieftain, Elaysia faces a nation torn apart by her actions. The looming threat of invasion from Az Zar further divides the tribes of Neharem, fracturing their faltering loyalty and deepening the vengeance shadowing her reign. The stormbirds, having not yet come into their powers, remain as much a vulnerability as they are a symbol of hope.
To strengthen her forces, Elaysia agrees to an arranged union with a noble from Orillon, forging a precarious alliance. Meanwhile, unrest brews in Cadar, where the oppressed rise against the All-Sovereign’s iron-fisted rule, igniting a rebellion that threatens to engulf Az Zar. Zavik, striving for a sustainable use of weaponized nevethium, uncovers the devastating costs of progress. In the north, Jakki learns the true nature of her magic parchment and the people it originated from. Lumira steps up to lead war efforts in Agaas, reawakening painful memories of her past. And Konar’s fate hangs in the balance.
As past transgressions and suppressed truths resurface, Elaysia and her companions find themselves haunted by their histories, their darkest secrets threatening to unravel their delicate unity. Beneath Quinaria’s surface, an ancient power stirs, ready to shatter the world’s fragile peace. For the land they’ve called home is no longer the place they thought it was.
Maybe it never had been.
