I am very excited to announce my next series is coming out soon! It's called Birds of Erishum. The first book in the trilogy, The Mudlark, is now available for presale. The book goes live on November 17th. The second book, The Gutter Shrike, will be published sometime in December.
It's a slight deviation from my Sophie Feegle stuff - less gritty urban fantasy and more epic fantasy trilogy. But I love stories where the protagonist's whole world gets shaken to its very foundation, and has to go on an epic quest far beyond the small confines of their previous life.

In the bustling Kingdom of Erishum, where the city walls protect the denizens from the Dying Wilds, lives Nyssa, one of the kingdom’s many mudlarks. Each day, she ekes out a meager living by scavenging the muddy banks of the River Assur.
When she unearths a mysterious but valuable object that could buy her a ticket out of the slums and fulfill her dream of a baking apprenticeship, she accidentally sets on a path of unseen threats, deceit, and political intrigue.
Through lively marketplaces and clandestine dealings – all the while evading the menacing Enumerii priests and the king’s shrikes – Nyssa’s survival instincts as a gutter rat are put to the test. Could this object put everyone she cares about in danger?
Against the backdrop of an opulent festival and familiar city streets, Nyssa is pulled into a world of danger, betrayal, and sacrifice. Soon, Nyssa must make a choice: save her future or save an old friend.
The Mudlark is a captivating tale of courage, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of dreams against all odds. It’s a whirlwind ride, coursing through the riveting life of an intrepid young heroine who challenges her fate with every rising sun.
