The Confederacy of Man is on the brink of collapse twenty years after its armies brutally wiped magic from its thirsting lands, but all that rebellious Kathiria can focus on from within the confining walls of her manor is evading her dreaded duty as a bride prize. When Deklan, a handsome but mysterious noble with a shadowy past, shows up with a proposition that promises escape, she jumps at the chance to break out of her box. 

But freedom is not what Kathiria anticipates when she emerges from the bubble of her estate… and neither is the boy riding beside her in the carriage. Deklan has a secret - a secret that stands to shift the fate of their floundering world. As hidden truths about the War on Magic are revealed and survivors begin emerging from the deepest part of the darkest wood, the two discover they are uniquely qualified to reverse the damage done by their parents’ generation.

But to do that, they’re going to have to defy the Confederate Council and embrace the magic inside them… before it’s too late.  

All Of Us Monsters, book one in the new adult Essence of Magic series, will be my first published novel, with an official release date of January 27th, 2026. It is the first installment in a planned duology and subsequent prequel set in the same world.
