Seraphina Hartwell can never find love for herself, despite being the most prominent heart-witch of Wisteria Row. She spends her time reading love matches in the tealeaves alongside her gossiping and rather nosy tea parlour.
But when the tealeaves turn sour and debutantes start to dissappear, suspicious eyes turn towards her.
Determined to clear her name, Seraphina sets her sights on Julian Thorne—the season’s most irresistible rake and her prime suspect. Yet as she navigates glittering ballrooms and long-buried secrets, she must uncover the truth before her reputation and her tea parlour are lost forever
DAUGHTER OF THE WANING MOON

As the land’s lifeforce dies, Elara becomes the impossible — the curse and its cure; earth‑touched healer and moonlit heir. Bound by a soul‑tether to the rebel leader she blames for her father’s death, she must choose between chasing vengeance or saving a world that brands her kind “impure,” — even if doing so will cost her more than the life she was willing to give.
Daughter of the Waning Moon is a sweeping fantasy full of adventure, slow burn romance and heartache. Set against a backdrop of racial tension and prejudice at its heart, it is about characters who believe in fairer worlds and who are brave enough to build them.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“
The themes of race and power were so delicately woven in, but I loved that you had some really compelling and often uncomfortable descriptions of the imbalanced power dynamic between majority and minority groups.
“
When I say this book was beautiful start to finish, I mean it. The story starts off with a girl we can all find ourselves in. Her losing everything and almost losing herself but then finding her courage and strength and grace.
“
You've written this beautiful book that drew me in completely from the beginning and had me hooked until I was left sobbing into my pillow.
