A Curse of Power: Book 1 (A Dark versus Light Portal Fantasy)
She escaped into stories. One of them called her home.
Trapped in a dead-end life, and feeling like a stranger in her own story, Mae longs for charmed and imagined worlds-ones where magic reigns, kingdoms rise and fall, and a dashing Lord might just sweep her off her feet. What she found was a curse-and a destiny she never saw coming.
When a heartbroken young woman is thrust into a fantastical Fae realm of Aelba eerily reminiscent of the books she once used to escape her pain, she must confront ancient magic, unexpected destiny, and the truth about who she really is-before the curse binding her new world consumes them both.
What if the life Mae was meant for isn't the one she lost... but the one she's about to discover? In a world of ancient curses and forgotten magic, her broken heart might be the key to everything as she navigates a world of light and dark and a Trow King who wants to destroy her.
A Curse of Power is an epic Scottish Portal Fantasy for the broken-hearted and brave, featuring Fae based on Celtic mythology and the legends of the Tuatha Dé Danann, in a world mired in conflict and one Mae can't escape. Urban fantasy with themes of romance and found family, where magical realism and power offer an escape.
For readers of Sarah J. Maas, Diana Gabaldon, Krista Stewart, Alix E. Harrow and Holly Black-who crave portal fantasy, aching romance, and ancient magic. Or those who loved A Court of Thorns and Roses, An Enchantment of Ravens, or The Ten Thousand Doors of January, this will be your next obsession.
