"Doesn’t just open a door to another world—it yanks you through it, heartbeat first, and dares you to keep up. [. . .] Just when you think you’ve 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 brewing—and you know they’re going to collide." - InkedSirenXO, Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Every chapter brings new twists, and just when you think you have a handle on what’s happening, the story shifts again in the most compelling way. There’s so much going on, but it never feels chaotic, just rich, immersive, and impossible to put down." - Armando, Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Wow doesn’t 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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"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!” - The Nerdy Bookshop, Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"This is one of the best fantasy stories I have read in a really long time. It’s complex; it’s rugged; it’s emotional; it’s a rollercoaster in the best way." - Michelle, Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Asteria is dying. Its kingdoms are fractured, its people warring, its magic faltering—and anyone who could save it has vanished.
On Earth, Conor will do whatever it takes to keep her head down and her sister alive. She’s a shadow in her own life—until 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 something—anything—that could get her home.
She’s not the only one desperate to escape. In the sea’s 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 captor—all while plotting to reclaim her stolen throne.
Their paths are converging.
Something in Asteria is waking.
And nothing will ever be the same.
