A Fading Sun

The first novel in a gripping epic fantasy series set in an alternate first century Britain, featuring Voada, a freedom fighter modeled after the historical Boudica, who communes with the dead.

“The problem with ghosts is that they don’t realize that they’re dead.”

Voada can see the ghosts of the recently dead, as her great-grandmother did when they were priests of Eliane, the Mother-God — but that was before the Mundoa came and conquered Voada’s people.

A FADING SUN features a strong female protagonist in a world where one must commune with the dead to wield the power of magic. The currents of the novel swirl with the collision of two opposing cultures, with clashes between clans who should be allies, with issues of gender. Intrigue, romance, and epic battles abound as Voada struggles to free her people from the chains of the Mundoa against terrible odds, all the while dealing with the terrible personal loss of her family, the expectations of those around her, and the demons within herself.

Can Voada prevail where others have failed and died? Can she wield the power of the past mages without it consuming her?

The answers lie in the whispers of the ghosts in her head.
