Because this is the first novel I've ever written from start to finish, let's celebrate! Fictional (because as a student, it's all I can afford) cake, alcohol and confetti all round!

Please consider leaving an honest review on Goodreads and letting me know what you thought. Your feedback is instrumental towards helping me to learn and grow as a writer, and I'd love to see what you thought! The old version of this story is called Queen of the Ashes, but you can find the Queen of the Night edition with the new cover on Goodreads too.

Thank you to all of my readers, voters and commenters, for one final time. You mean the world to me. Truly, if it weren't for my friendships with you, your enthusiasm for my work and your stellar feedback, I never would have been able to finish this book. My dream of completing a novel, wished into existence by dandelion puffs and birthday candles, has finally been realised.

If you have any questions for me, relating to this book or otherwise, please don't hesitate to ask in the comment section of this chapter. Otherwise I can always be reached via PM!

Later gators,

Chance and London's story continues...

... but it's only just the beginning.

The Witchfire Series, 10+ years in the making, is a passion project that combines all of the urban-fantasy stories I started writing in my youth and wanted to memorialise. While each book is a self-contained story, and the first three can technically be read as stand-alone novels, combined they tell a far richer tale. You learn not only about the characters as they see themselves, but through other characters' perceptions of them. It's been fascinating to explore this tangled web of plot threads!

Witchfire features multiple POVs and cataclysmic events that take place in chronological order. Think of it like the Marvel cinematic universe; there's singular plots that feed into a larger sprawling story, and I'm so excited to share all of it with you!

Below is a brief guide on all the seasons that are currently out. I have seven planned in total and will update this list as new titles are released.

Season 2: King of the Mountain

Expelled from her old school for a crime she didn't commit, Ivy must gain the trust of the High Pack at Ridgeview Academy to stop her new home from going up in flames.

Season 3: Legion of the Lost

Nora Walker, a psychic vampire, is conscripted into a task-force of supernatural legends who care more about themselves than the world they're supposed to save...

Season 4: Shards of a Broken Heart

After sacrificing himself to save Chance Nightshade, London Irephang - lamia prince of the vampires - is resurrected as an immortal vampire. Now, Chance Nightshade and Nora Walker must combine their powers and delve into the mind of a mad-man in order to save the ones they love.

Season 5: Soldier of the Sand (currently free to read!)

Piper Cross, an undercover spy, must relive her past as a child gladiator in order to bring the underground arena to justice.

Coming soon:

- Season 6: Malice of the Mad Witch

- Season 7: Feud of the Fates

Thanks for reading. It means more than you'll ever know.
