A Journey Unveiled

A portal. A prophecy. A magical journey begins.

Normally, Lexi Guinel would be excited to find herself in a fantastical parallel world, encountering witches and elves and other mythical creatures. If only she wasn't trapped there for eight years. And discovering her own magic would have been thrilling if it weren't forbidden in Gowerland. Punishable by death.

Unfortunately, ignoring her powers and keeping a low profile isn't an option. A prophecy foretold Lexi's arrival and her pivotal role in saving the kingdom from the tyrannical king and his allies, the dark elves. Instead, she must learn to master her powers under the constant threat of discovery. The danger only increases when her fate becomes entangled with that of the ill-tempered Prince Aeric, who obeys his father's every cruel command.

Surrounded by secrets and betrayal in a dark and perilous world, can Lexi remain hidden long enough to confront her destiny? Or will King Ulric find her first?

Step through a crack, you can't go back.

Featuring such tropes as found family, slow burn, animal companions, enemies to lovers, and forced proximity, the Daughter of Venus trilogy is perfect for fans of The Medoran Chronicles and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Diversity is an important feature of the trilogy, including a biracial protagonist, BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ representation, and characters with disabilities. Note that much of A Journey Unveiled is set in a small town with a limited cast of characters. Representation increases as the world expands in book two, An Enemy Defined.

"Magic, elements, portals, and prophecies, what's not to love?With a combination of science, astrology, magic, war, monarchy, and a prophecy, this was as epic as one would think." - Gumiho Reviews

"It's part slice of life, part epic fantasy...Lexi's life in the sleepy Jalnarrah takes an abrupt turn as a tragic fate befalls the town. From this point on, I felt spoiled by the story. This second part of the book just does not let up, going from exciting development to exciting development...The ending is fantastic..." - Jon Herrera, author

"An epic fantasy novel where the modern world and a magical realm collide in the best possible way!" - Jennie Griffin, The Redhead Notes
