Reclamation Stories

​"I have shown my body more times than I have ever received flowers." ​In this raw and unflinching collection of poetry, Mabel explores the jagged landscape of a stolen girlhood. The Girl Who Tried to Be a Woman Too Soon is a journey through the quiet violence of grooming, the exhaustion of jumping from one hollow relationship to the next, and the desperate search for self-worth in the eyes of older men. ​Through evocative imagery of wilted blooms and digital ghosts, these poems capture the performance of maturity-wearing a woman's face while carrying a child's heart. It is a reckoning with the mirror, a mourning for the softness that was never allowed to take root, and ultimately, a brave reclamation of a voice that was silenced before it could fully speak. ​This book is for anyone who has ever traded their peace for a moment of being "chosen," and for the girls who are finally learning how to buy their own flowers.

Fourteen years ago, Princess Annelise Veyran watched her kingdom fall. The gates of Zelveria were opened from within. Her parents were killed. The throne was taken. By morning, the royal family was believed to be dead. But Annelise survived. For fourteen years, she has lived in hiding, far from the kingdom she once called home. She has spent those years carrying the memory of what was lost and the hope that one day she might reclaim it. Then she begins to uncover things that don't make sense. Old records have disappeared. Entire events are missing from history. People who search for answers vanish without explanation. What first seemed like a struggle for a crown begins to look like part of something much larger. As Annelise follows the trail left behind by forgotten records and buried secrets, she finds herself drawn into a conflict that reaches far beyond Zelveria. Alongside a small group of trusted companions, she must navigate political intrigue, hidden enemies, and truths that powerful people would rather keep buried. Because the more she learns about the fall of her kingdom, the more she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Ashes of a Fallen Crown is the first book in The Hollow Throne, an epic fantasy trilogy about loss, loyalty, forgotten history, and a princess searching for the truth behind the kingdom she lost.
