"WE DO NOT HOLD VIGILS FOR THOSE THAT LET THE FOREST GET THE BEST OF THEM"
THE CAER THORNE CHRONICLES
At an elite assassin academy buried deep within an ancient forest, nineteen-year-old Aries Vexley arrives with blood on her past and something far more dangerous in her veins. When she forms a rare, legendary bond with an ancient creature through a deadly trial, she’s thrust into a brutal world designed to break the weak and sharpen the lethal. But beneath the academy’s stone walls, something isn’t right. As tension tightens and unseen eyes begin to watch, Aries uncovers a truth about herself that could get her killed. And in a place where secrets are weapons, survival may demand she becomes something even more dangerous than the killers around her.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
You ended this way to soon and now I have to wait for this to be published and the next book be written. Did not want to stop reading
Anxious. Suspicious. Mournful. But all in a good way! Anxious to read more. Suspicious of everyone. And mournful of the lost.
So you’re just blatantly attacking the reader now. Thats a gut punch.
Ooh I sat up in my chair. I’m ready and super into this!
Sobbing
Great tease!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Writing under a pen name, the author invites readers into dark, immersive worlds where danger breathes beneath every shadow and nothing is ever quite as it seems. Drawn to the eerie beauty of the unknown, she finds endless inspiration in the quiet hush of forests, the looming presence of mountains, and the thrill of all things Halloween. That love for atmosphere and edge seeps into every page she writes, shaping stories that are equal parts haunting and addictive.
When she’s not building dangerous worlds and complicated characters, she’s at home with her family—her husband, their young son, two loyal dogs (a German Shepherd and an American Bulldog mix), and two ever-curious cats. Life is a blend of chaos and comfort, much like the stories she tells.
Whether it’s through whispered legends, sharp-tongued heroines, or bonds that run deeper than blood, her work is for readers who crave intensity, tension, and a touch of darkness that lingers long after the final page.
Jinx, Matrix, Montero, and Marble—my four animals who quietly leave their mark across my stories. Watch for the Easter eggs.
