Description
Tainted magic collides with unexpected love to shatter an already fractured land
Marieke is trained in the magic of songcraft, but without connections, she's still lucky to gain a place on a foreign delegation. She hopes to learn whether Aeltas suffers the same mysterious blight as her own land-what she doesn't expect is to suffer a near-fatal accident the moment she crosses the border.
Zev has no reason to love singers. But when he finds a girl barely clinging to life, he can't just turn aside. Even when Marieke's identity threatens everything his family has fought for-and fought to hide-for generations, he can't bring himself to regret helping her. Instead he finds himself pursuing her back across the border.
As more accidents befall singers, Zev's desire to protect Marieke battles with his duty to his family's secrets. But while Marieke is blind to the past, he remains mystified about the present curse hovering over her land-and threatening to stretch into his. Neither Marieke nor Zev can deny what's growing between them...and neither can predict what it will cost not only them but the splintered lands they love.
A Splintered Land is the first installment of Heartsong, a YA fantasy trilogy set in the Sovereign Realms, where magic is harnessed by singers. When a singer with too many questions meets a farmer hiding dangerous answers, past and present collide and heart is pitted against duty. If you enjoy adventure, magic, and clean and swoony romance, enter the world of Heartsong today.

Person
I've been a reader since I can remember, growing up on a wide range of books, from classic literature to light-hearted romps. The love of reading has traveled with me unchanged across multiple continents, and carried me from my own childhood all the way to having children of my own.
But if reading is like looking through a window into a magical and beautiful world, beginning to write my own stories was like discovering that I could open that window and climb right out into fantasyland.
I cannot believe how privileged I am to actually be living that childhood dream and publishing my own novels. I do so from my hometown of Adelaide, Australia, where I live with my husband and our two, soon to be three, little munchkins.
I've never outgrown my love of young adult stories, and my first series, The Kyona Chronicles, is a young adult fantasy series of four novels and two novellas.
