But the war her ancestors have started is too much for her to handle alone. To break the Lord of Life's dynasty and set the Spirits free she needs help from her uncle; a long-lost war hero now wasting the remnants of his broken life in ale.
Once he was the Lord of Winds, but the Wind, people whisper, cannot be killed.

*spoilers for book 1*
The world is broken. In a moment of desperation, Storm claimed the power of the Spirits, stopped Earth from moving and vanished, leaving her uncle, Mareau, to pick up the pieces of Literra. Stepping up as Lord of Winds, ruler of Literra, he struggles to retain peace and hope as the Ancient Prince Panmar plots for his demise. However, earnestly fighting for his legacy and to redeem his mistakes, Mareau’s inner battles may be a foe too great for him to overcome as the ghosts of his past refuse to let go.
Meanwhile, Storm has taken refuge deep in the mountains, the shame of her failed mission and loss of her brother, Gust, having consumed her. Determined to put things right, she must first resume her identity and arm herself and Mareau with the rage of Life and the power of the Wind if they are to win against their immortal enemy.
But can Storm and Mareau use each other’s strengths to rise above their ancestors, or is the gusting Wind taking its final breath?

Heir to The Sun
The Chronicles of Eshea
Kindle and paperback: US, EU, UK
After a volatile relationship, all Aura wanted was to start a new life far from her ex-boyfriend, Dave. A sleepy café in a small town seemed the perfect place to reinvent herself, and when a mysterious woman befriends her, enchanting her with fairytales and offering an escape to another world, Aura could have got into more than she bargained for. But when Dave unexpectedly shows up, angry and determined, Aura’s left with little choice but to run.
This time, she runs far, far away, across an invisible border to another world; a world of magic where everything is possible. A world, where Aura is known to everyone but her, as The Princess of Light. And although her new title comes with the daunting responsibility of saving the world, the prize of doing so could give her what she’s always wanted: A family.
As Aura engages on a magical journey of discovery, her hopes to break free from Dave once and for all soon start to fade as she realizes that breaking up with The Angel of Darkness is easier said than done. And even the light needs darkness to cast shadows...
Will Aura have the courage to embrace her new world, or will the shadows of her old life keep her in darkness forever?
