The Valtain Preludes
2 primary works 3 total works planned
Book 1
A country torn in civil war, a new king challenged, and a rebellious young woman willing to risk everything to make her own destiny...
Rosira is a Valtain, a religious figure marked from birth by her albino skin and white hair. Rebellious and free spirited, she rails against her restricted life within the walls of the Church. To a Valtain, time is precious—their lives are short and sickly, and Rosira has no intention of spending the few years she has left stuck in prayer.
Now, the country of Ara is on the brink of a civil war. Determined, vivacious, and dark-haired, the young king Araich is everything his father wasn’t… and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Soon, unrest begins to bubble over, and Rosira finally sees a way to escape the prison of her role.
But violence escalates quickly, and war shows no mercy. Rosira and Araich are thrown together to fight for their country, their freedom, and their own survival. But the stakes climb even higher as they find themselves drawn to each other by more than just duty—and as they discover a power greater than they ever could have imagined.

Book 2
One secret can change everything.
The Harcian Civil War rages on. Armed with lethal Lightning Dust, Rosira’s mysterious abilities, and a blossoming but powerful admiration for each other, Rosira and Araich march upon the city of Vernaya. They have one singular goal: to kill Araich’s uncle, Inor Harcian, and put the war to an end.
But victory isn’t so easy.
Rosira’s newfound powers are still a mystery, failing her when she needs them most. And Araich soon finds that his broken body is the least of his problems. The night grows darker and the battles bloodier as Araich and Rosira are torn from each other, threatened by enemies lurking in every shadow.
Before dawn breaks, they will both have to make impossible decisions to protect their country and each other… even under the threat of becoming everything they sought to defeat.
And, above all, they will discover that a single secret can be more dangerous than a thousand armies.
