DEBUT COMING SOON

(title to be revealed)

Born into a fallen order of soothsayers and selected at infancy to become their next Night Goddess, Auralen (Aura) Galena's life is far from divine. Her ancestor is responsible for both her people's bloody past and the mysterious death of her grandmother, the great Night Goddess Lillandria.To become the next Night Goddess would unlock astounding abilities beyond that of the soothsayers'—dream walking, perception beyond the veil, and even command of the dead. But "Forbidden Goddess" Aura is the soul survivor of her kind—her grandfather, the king, exiled her predecessors and outlawed the once exalted order.When she's suddenly plagued with haunting visions of her grandmother, she crosses boundaries no Clethrian has crossed in millennia—and reveals yet another web of her ancestor's crimes too terrible to ignore.Sworn to right the wrongs of the past, Aura's joined by an eclectic party of friends and strangers with unclear motives. But her quest for justice breaches the very walls of physical reality—and unleashes a dreadful truth that's lurked in wait for two thousand years.

A. Adler's multi-pov debut features a city of stolen souls, a kingdom in hiding, and a sorceress of your worst nightmares.Expect slow-burn romance, paranormal and psychological thriller elements, intricate reveals, and page-turning twists.Join her email list to keep up with her latest publishing news!

About the Author

From childhood through young adulthood, Ariadne Adler suffered with crippling anxiety and a then-undiagnosed mental health disorder. Her symptoms regularly manifested as nightmares and hallucinations, to the point where her own imagination often appeared a frightening, volatile place.In her early twenties, she suddenly realized her dream of writing suspenseful fantasy books rested in the hands of her fragile state of mind. Thus began her quest to not only face her fears head-on, but mold them into the story of her dreams.She asked for help, started therapy, and picked up her pen.Two years of writing, hours of therapy, and a bucket of persistence later, she completed the first book in a 3-5 book series inspired by her struggles.Her greatest hope is that her story—told through the lens of a map-sweeping, epic fantasy adventure—will reach those who've also struggled to feel at peace in their own hearts and minds.
