BOOK 1 - THE LOTUS BEARER (Volume 1)And thus, The Creator rose from her own ashes. With a power unlike any she’d held before. And with it, the world was born, forged in her image. That which remained poured into the souls of those deemed worthy. The tools of her craft, given to her children in hopes that her work may live on long after she lay herself to rest.  These were the words that haunted Iris Everton after her sister was left for dead when her father couldn't afford the steep price of magic. Devastated, Iris sets out to change the world, to reforge it in her image. What she learns is many people have many ideas of what the world should look like and she is at the center of all of them.  OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE: January 1st, 2024BOOK 2 - THE LOTUS BREAKER (Volume 2) Alaric Sampson's daughter has been murdered but no one else will admit it. A tragic accident, they call it. But he knows better and the constant disregard for the truth eats at him until he finds himself on a slippery slope, falling into a dark place. In order to avenge his Ceralline, he gathers the few like-minded revolutionaries he can find and sets out to kill her murderers. Even if that means losing everything else he loves in the process. Continue the journeys of Alaric, Iris, Urman, and others as they inch closer to putting an end to The Lotus War.  ***Please Note***All books in this trilogy follow two timelines that, while interwoven, occur at distinctly different times in history. There are dates provided at the beginning of each chapter in all three books to help avoid confusion. The sexual content and traumatizing content warnings on these fictions are minimal but there are a few chapters that I felt necessary to mention out of consideration for the readers.
