ena Daelyra has always lived in fear, as do most Mages in Tovagoth. Mages are discriminated against, hunted for sport, and have no laws that provide them protection. She has kept to herself her entire life, even after she and her mother found a permanent residence in the kingdom of Otacia. That is until she meets Quill Callon, a handsome resident of the Inner Ring, who agrees to train her in weaponry—a safe way of defending herself. As her feelings for Quill develop, she is faced with the reminder that she can never show her true self. Not even to him.
ilas La’Rune, Crown Prince of Otacia, has been kept inside the castle walls since he was five years old, since the kidnapping and murder of his younger sister, the princess. He hasn’t known freedom. Hasn’t even seen his kingdom, except from the castle windows. It isn’t until the Queen allows him one day of freedom that he sees Otacia for himself. One day that changes everything.
When something devastating separates Lena from the man she grows to love, things are not the same when they find each other five years later. Not at all.
And when Lena and Silas’s story finally becomes intertwined, it is clear the fate of Magekind rests on both of their shoulders.
rom a young age, Kylie Snow has been a daydreamer, developing stories in her head for as long as she can remember. She first dreamed of being an author at ten years old.
Video games were her first love, and she grew up playing a variety of horror and fantasy titles on the PlayStation (and of course many games on the DS) Some of her favorites include Rule of Rose, Folklore, Haunting Ground, the Fire Emblem Series, and of course, Sims.
As an avid fantasy and dark romance reader, Kylie wanted to include both elements of those genres into her writing (Magic, spice, and heartbreaking themes? Sign me up.)
She hopes her writing will stir up all the emotions of her readers, and wishes to create complex, relatable, and imperfect characters.
The Lies of Lena, Kylie's debut novel and book one in The Otacian Chronicles, debuts May 14th, 2024.
