02/10/2024: TSC is still on hiatus, but not abandoned! I am still rewriting Books I and II, but much slower than I wanted! Progress updates forthcoming...eventually!Once a powerful and celebrated witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a desert cave, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death, her life is turned upside-down as he brings light into her home...and heart.  Ba'an knows better than to fall for a man of the empire, the ancient enemy of her people. And yet something about this warrior draws her ever closer, even as the threads of a bitter, deadly plot begins to tighten around them both. Now, to save him—and herself—Ba'an must bring all her fearsome power to bear while keeping her own horrifying secret. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again—and if so, what price must she pay?  The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.  Updates whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return!  Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
