ETCH is a New Adult Fantasy novel about elves with special skills in lapidary. Ilva and Vali are a female-female couple who struggle with personal trauma, disabilities, and uniquely unrefined biracial magic, in a world ransacked by segregation and war. There is audacious adventure, steamy sexual content, a lot of personal growth, and a world full of wonders. Their blood bonds pull them every direction in this story, showing just how dangerous fear and assumptions can be.
In the crumbling continent, Zoriya, elves possess geological magic. Lords and Ladies rule the land, home to segregated classes of elves, and lust after power and control of all. Sylvite, Stolzite, Silver and Stone each hold dominion here. When elven relations begin mixing both blood and magic things get... Interesting.
Ilva has always been more comfortable in her own company. She believes that no one understands her, nor does she belong anywhere. Finding truth in these feelings, she isolates her unmanifested self for decades, hiding a secret not even she knows she keeps. A secret that could change the world.
Vali has been physically blinded by magic. She is a powerhouse of purpose, endeavouring quest after quest, seeking to discover the answers this world holds for her and break free of her limitations. However, freedom from anything seems more than challenging when you are bound by duty.
Follow Ilva and Vali on their romance filled journey through the lush forests, underground villages, crumbling cities, and wraith controlled wastelands of this world. Will they rise against the unjust power struggles of this never ending war, or will greed and pride be their greatest downfall?
