Once a powerful and celebrated witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death, she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all-of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again-and if so, what price must she pay? The Exile is the first book in a slow-burn tragic romantic fantasy series. It is a quiet story about two people who were never meant to meet, finding each other in the unlikeliest of places. Warning: The world of The Stormcrow Cycle is dark and rather grim; most civilizations practice slavery and all its abuses. Please mind the "Mature Content" tag. I do not include individual trigger warnings, but you can expect everything typical of a Greco-Roman-inspired society going forward. Book I is a quiet romance with a HFN. Book II ventures into more traditional fantasy territory. Please note this series is a tragedy, not an industry romantasy or romance. Book I is currently being edited for Kindle release. The series is on hiatus, but not dead! Please note that the series will not update on Wattpad once out of hiatus! Please follow me on Royal Road or Scribble Hub for story updates!
