Of Thorns and Memories

Maren knows exactly who she is.

Twenty-five. Human. Freelance stylist. Professional cynic. And currently trying to build a successful business with her best friend, Simone.

Then Simone's gorgeous model boyfriend catches Maren seeing through something she was never supposed to see.

Magic.

Within twenty-four hours, Maren has been dragged through an ancient redwood and deposited in a world she thought existed only in fantasy novels, a world where everyone seems to recognize her.

They call her Elowren Evergrove.

The five-year-old daughter of a powerful fae family slaughtered twenty years ago.

The little girl who supposedly died with them.

Maren remembers none of it.

But Faerie remembers her.

So does the Queen.

So does the prince who kidnapped her.

And when Maren discovers the portrait of another prince who vanished ten years ago, something buried inside her recognizes him too.

Everyone else seems determined to tell Maren who she used to be.

She's considerably more interested in finding out who took that choice away from her in the first place.

A new adult fae romantasy about lost memories, court politics, found family, morally complicated choices, a missing prince, one extremely suspicious mating bond, and a heroine who would really appreciate everyone stopping fucking deciding things for her.

NOTE: This is not the full novel, but a teaser package created to build early interest in Of Thorns and Memories, a 59-chapter novel I am currently writing with the goal of traditional publication. ChatGPT was used as a development tool in creating some of the teaser/storyboard material presented here. The novel itself will be my original work. Any artwork used in the finished novel will be original or commissioned from human artists, with one of my priorities when pursuing publication being that artists are credited and fairly compensated.
