A magical library.

A powerful guardian.

A deadly plot that threatens to destroy everything she’s sworn to protect.

Enter Englemel Rose, an enchanted library… 

The books of Englemel Rose must be protected. For their power and secrets. For the deadly criminals trapped inside. For the magical force, called earthsong, whispering between their pages. The Skyseers of Englemel are warrior librarians, not only tending to this collection with their magic, but also prepared to defend it with their lives.

Meet Phyliri, a Skyseer with secrets…

Recently promoted to the coveted role of Starkeeper,  (blackmail may or may not have been involved), Phyliri must use her powerful connection to earthsong, her wits, and, of course, books, to prevent a war from breaking out between her country and the South.

A dangerous mission…

Ordered to escort a gruff enemy soldier across the magical forest that divides their two countries, Phyliri soon uncovers a deadly plot that puts both her land and the soldier's in terrible danger. But her mission is tangled with yearning, heartbreak, and a forbidden romance that could tear down every wall she’s built around her heart. Facing a tangled web of secrets and politics, her traitorous feelings for the soldier, and the peril of her own power, she finds herself torn between the heroism she longs to embrace and the safety she's never known.

​​​​​​​Surrounded by enemies…

With multiple villains plotting in the shadows, Phyliri’s power could be dangerous, but it could also be the key to saving her people, if she has the courage to embrace it.

But stories are Phyliri's lifeblood, and she knows villains sometimes win. And heroes often fall.
