🖤 A little announcement from the shadows...

Some exciting things are happening behind the scenes: the Shadows of Vaelderen series is taking its next step towards publication.

That means the Inkitt versions of my books will be coming down on October 1 as I begin preparing them for their published editions.



If you've been reading along here, you have just under a week to finish any chapters you've been meaning to get to. After October 1, I'll leave information here about the series and where you can follow along for publication news and updates.

The Cursed Wolf (Book One) will be coming in 2027.

(Yes, we changed the title to fit the rest of the series...)



And if you'd like to stay in the shadows with me, you can join my newsletter for updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and news as the series moves towards publication.



I've also just finished the first draft of a brand-new Shadows of Vaelderen prequel novella (with Ash and Kira!), which will be available as a free ebook exclusively to newsletter subscribers once it's been edited and polished.



And for those of you who have loved reading these stories here on Inkitt, there will also be opportunities to join my ARC team and read advance copies of the published books before release. I'll share details about ARC sign-ups through my newsletter when the time comes. 🖤



So while the Inkitt versions are leaving, there is plenty more Vaelderen still to come.



To everyone who has read, voted, commented, or simply quietly followed these stories here: THANK YOU. Inkitt is where these books first found readers, and I'm incredibly grateful you've been here for this version of them.



This isn't goodbye to Vaelderen.



It's just time for the stories to step out of Inkitt and into their next chapter. 🖤

Loveeee all 3 books. They are hard to put down.
Thank you 😍

Huge thank you to everyone who checked in with me. Amazon finally got back to me, and I'm happy to report that both stolen versions of my book have now been removed. So relieved!

And in other positive news: the delayed chapter for The Cursed Heir is finally up!

Sorry, I'm working on the next chapter, but I'm dealing with two people (TWO!!) who have taken my book and uploaded it to Amazon.

It's crushed my spirit a little, but I will bounce back soon, I promise (and the next chapter should be finished this weekend).

I'm so thankful to the wonderful reader who messaged me on Instagram to let me know ♥

I really enjoyed both books.💖💖 I loved the main characters and the stories. I was drawn into those worlds.
How many chapters will Book 2 have? I read up to chapter 29 Fragments. I thought that was the end of the book with everything up in the air, freak out 🫨, but then I saw chapter 29 was posted today. 🥳
I’ll now read about the queen.

What is the reading order of vaelderen books?

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for the extended absence. Things happened. My laptop died. It had everything. EVERYTHING. It kind of killed my joy of writing for a bit. Lesson learned. Backup everything. Including passwords. Because, yeah, I also didn't have my passwords saved anywhere. Finally managed to get logged back onto everything but still short one laptop. (Please, Santa, help a girl out?) Going to try to get back to updating though now that I'm back online.

TL;DR Sorry for the long absence, but I'm back! Yay!

Hi, hope all is well. I was just wondering if there will be any updates happening soon? I'm really excited to see what happens next.

Pls update!!

i loveee the cursed heir it’s so good
