Blurb

Exile was meant to break her. It made her dangerous.

Exiled for a lie, Veyra must survive a wilderness built to erase her—and a truth meant to stay buried.

Cast out to die, Veyra refuses to stay forgotten—even if the Rivenwild itself tries to finish the job.

Banished to the Rivenwild, Veyra discovers a power she never wanted and a world that won’t let her walk away.

Thrown into exile, Veyra finds a hidden people, a dangerous magic, and a reason to fight for the life she was denied.

Author

When I was eight, I wrote my first book—eighty‑seven pages, one paragraph, and a sci‑fi story called The Bird of Time. I handed it to my mother, hoping she’d read it. She didn’t even open it. She just said, “Nobody is ever going to read what you write.”

I threw the book away. I didn’t throw away the writing.

My mother struggled with addiction, and I was too young to understand that her words weren’t really about me. But they stuck. For decades, I wrote in secret—twenty‑plus novels that lived in drawers and folders because I was afraid she might be right.

When I turned sixty, I realized something simple and brutal: the only way she’d be right is if I never tried. So I started publishing. And readers found me. And they asked for more.

Maybe she was wrong. Maybe this is the story I was supposed to write all along.
