Puzzle-box fantasy
Enter, Lost One.
Can you find your way to the truth?
Asteria is an immersive epic fantasy built like a puzzle boxโfilled with layers of meaning, multiple POVs, converging storylines, ancient secrets, and truths hiding in plain sight.
"Doesnโt just open a door to another worldโit yanks you through it, heartbeat first, and dares you to keep up. [. . .] Just when you think youโve found your footing, the narrative shifts: a thief and assassin in the deep, a queen burdened by secrets, an exiled heir sharpening her vengeance. Each thread feels like a different storm brewingโand you know theyโre going to collide." - InkedSirenXO, Goodreads โญโญโญโญโญ
"Every chapter brings new twists, and just when you think you have a handle on whatโs happening, the story shifts again in the most compelling way. Thereโs so much going on, but it never feels chaotic, just rich, immersive, and impossible to put down." - Armando, Goodreads โญโญโญโญโญ
"Wow doesnโt even begin to cover it! Epic is an accurate word. The scale of this book is astounding. Following quite a few characters doing seemingly disparate things in wildly far-flung places everything eventually comes together in a way I never could have imagined." - EvanKnitsThings, Goodreads โญโญโญโญโญ
"Holy cow . . . what an epic fantasy read! Asteria is an immersive, layered high fantasy novel packed with massive world-building, multiple intersecting POVs, dragons, monsters, magic, mystery, betrayal, and secrets. [. . .] Asteria truly feels like it could be the next big fantasy phenomenon!โ - The Nerdy Bookshop, Goodreads โญโญโญโญโญ
"This is one of the best fantasy stories I have read in a really long time. Itโs complex; itโs rugged; itโs emotional; itโs a rollercoaster in the best way." - Michelle, Goodreads โญโญโญโญโญ
"If you love sprawling fantasy with depth, atmosphere, and intelligent storytelling, Asteria delivers. A rewarding, ambitious read that trusts its audience and fully commits to its world." - Nicole, Goodreads โญโญโญโญโญ
Asteria is dying. Its kingdoms are fractured, its people warring, its magic falteringโand anyone who could save it has vanished.
On Earth, Conor will do whatever it takes to keep her head down and her sister alive. Sheโs a shadow in her own lifeโuntil the night her classmate Jaime drags her into the woods and through a rift between worlds.
Trapped in the mysterious realm of Asteria, Conor has no choice but to flee with him through dark forests and even darker tunnels. As they race to evade prowling fexes and sentinels, she searches for somethingโanythingโthat could get her home.
Sheโs not the only one desperate to escape. In the seaโs shadowy depths, a thief and an assassin hunt for answers that might save their doomed city. Atop floating towers, a reluctant queen uncovers ancient secrets. As storms rise and dragons stir, she longs only to disappear. Across the wintry meadows below, an exiled heir fights to outwit an unsettling captorโall while plotting to reclaim her stolen throne.
Their paths are converging.
Something in Asteria is waking.
And nothing will ever be the same.
