On the Wheel
A magic sword. A fated quest. When the whole world is broken, one woman dares to defy destiny...
Nora can’t help but be skeptical of prophecy. She wouldn't mind that the Living Blade is fated to upset the old-world order, but that doesn’t mean she thinks a sword or its wielder could pull that off...
Her twin brother, Owen, has the faith his sister lacks. But when he risks everything to keep the prophecy in line, the secrets he’s kept from his twin bubble to the surface. Secrets that could plunge them all into madness and ruin...
Prophecy has been nothing but pain for Master Telen Diaz. Still haunted by the Prophetess, and bound by his word, he seeks emancipation while at the same time he can't help but wonder if a future with Nora is not only possible, but also desirable. But does his traveling companion feel the same way?
To save her brother and free the world from the cruel machinations of the Prophetess, Nora must trust Owen knows what he's doing, and find the courage to accept the part he intends her to play in fixing the world. Even if doing so could get her killed...
On the Wheel is the suspense-filled second installment of The Living Blade series of dark fantasy novels. If you like Angela Carter's sensual and visceral storytelling coupled with Joe Abercrombie's gritty characters making hard decisions, then you’ll love Timandra Whitecastle’s captivating story.

Timandra Whitecastle
Timandra Whitecastle lives on the original Plains of Rohan (Lower Saxony) in Germany, with her family. She is a native speaker of both English and German, but she's also fluent in Geek, Gaming, and Whale.
Reading is an obsession that borders on compulsion most days.
Tim has never bothered to get a life because she feels like she's been trying to lead three different ones already - and, yes, she totally stole that line from Terry Pratchett. Also, she's partial to Mojitos and Baileys... er, just in case you meet her in a bar and want to buy her a drink, say. (She knows people don't actually read author's biographies, but feels mentioning this might be worth a shot... or two.)
