The Avalonia Chronicles

She never felt like she belonged…until magic pulled her into a world where she finally might.

Sixteen-year-old Aurora wishes she were anyone else. Mistreated by her adopted family and bullied at school, she dreams of a life where she truly matters. But when she’s pulled through an ancient tapestry into the magical world of Avalonia, she discovers a world of magic and destiny beyond anything she imagined.

Avalonia is a land of powerful mages, immortal fae, and seven fragile kingdoms threatened by the rise of the tyrant Queen Morgana. As the last surviving heir of the legendary Firedrake dynasty, Aurora finds herself hunted, and suddenly important in ways she never expected. Enrolled at the prestigious Academy of Evolon, she must learn to control her rare abilities, navigate a world filled with ancient magic, and discover who she truly is.

Aided by the powerful Duke of Silverthorne, a fae friend, and a handsome but mysterious outlaw called the Black Wolf, Aurora’s journey is one of courage and self-discovery, where the fate of her new home and family hang in the balance…
