COVER REVEAL! 🦋🌳✨

The adventure of Ehrit, Finn, Lydia, + co. continues in Book Two in the LIGHTSEEKERS trilogy “OF GARDENS AND GRAVES.”

Synopsis:

“Things have been quiet for the Lightseekers since they have returned from their quest to find the famed Lake of Light. But Finn and his sister Lydia are feeling restless, eager for Ehrit to fulfill his promise to help them find and reunite with their mother—a woman who they only have a song and a clay rabbit to remember her by.

But as the shadows in Wildel continue to deepen, and the General’s men begin planting false stories about their group, Ehrit proposes a new quest—this time to collect seeds from the Morning Tree as the next step in reversing the effects of The Great Betrayal, and bringing back the rightful king’s reign.

But following Ehrit has already cost Finn one relationship he held dear, and as the darkness against them ramps up in the form of a new weapon, Finn will have to decide what he’s wiling to sacrifice to confront the shadows in the kingdom—and in himself.”

Coming March 2. Available for preorder now! ✨🦋
