The Lightless Alchemist Series
Where forbidden magic meets impossible choices
The Alchemy Before the Dawn
A forbidden magic, a deadly rebellion, and a love that could ruin it all.
Sage is an Aubade, a scholar with little magic but a brilliant mind, secretly working with her friend Dervla to democratize magic — a dangerous pursuit in a kingdom ruled by the calculating King Cado. When a violent explosion destroys her workplace, Sage is forced to flee to the royal palace, navigating court intrigue while avoiding a deadly rebellion determined to exploit her discoveries.

On a perilous quest for a rare mineral crucial to her research, Sage must outwit friends and foes alike, confront shocking betrayals, and make impossible choices that could determine the fate of her people, her kingdom, and the man she's falling for.

The Glass Between the Tides
The rebellion is over, but the fight for Trevesiga has only just begun.
Coming May 26, 2026
Sage survived betrayal, loss, and revolution, yet victory brings no peace. With Dervla crowned ruler, Trevesiga is starving, unrest is growing, and power is once again slipping into dangerous hands. Shaken by grief, and haunted by her past mistakes, Sage no longer trusts her instincts—a weakness her enemies are quick to exploit.
When unstable magic threatens the fragile balance of the realm, Sage is forced back into Dervla's orbit, and sent to the neighbouring kingdom of Aiche to secure a fragile political alliance. Accompanied by Kitto, a volatile and unpredictable presence, Sage must navigate treacherous politics, and a new magical threat that could devastate both kingdoms.
Along the way, she finds an unlikely ally in Trevelyan, a roguish ex-pirate with a painful past of his own. As danger closes in, their shared scars forge a slow-burn connection, and help Sage relearn how to trust herself, and her heart, again.
With two kingdoms on the brink, and tyranny rising once more, Sage must reclaim her confidence, embrace her power, and decide whether she will be used . . . or if she will rise.
