A Warden's Purpose is the first book in my latest series, Warden's of Issalia. The book introduces new readers to the world of Issalia and sets the table for a larger plot akin to The Kingsmen, but with magic replacing technology to augment the abilities of trained agents.
I will post a new chapter each week until it totals the first 10% of the book. Enjoy.

Wild Evergreen
Evergreen thought her twenty-fifth birthday would be boring. She was wrong. Her mother, Annabella, gave her a locket and then told her a huge secret: Gideon, the King, is not her father. Annabella forced a dark truth into the open: a spell means Evergreen has no wings and her Fae magic is sleeping. Now, she must go at once to save her real father, Hale, who is held in a harsh prison. Evergreen is just an archer, not a hero. But Annabella tells her she is the key to a prophecy. Evergreen must start a dangerous journey at Emberland Mountain to awaken her powers. As Evergreen runs away, she sees Gideon use dark magic to strike her mother down. Filled with shock and a need for revenge, Evergreen is now alone in the wild.

This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy.

A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court.

A Forest of Secrets
⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-theComplete
