Here she is. Today, my fourth book is officially published.
Selene is the youngest daughter in a gifted line of healers, born to serve as the king's royal physician. Yet when Selene's mother Persaphe embroils her in a plot to kill the king, Selene finds herself poisoning the very man she is sworn to protect.
Things seem bleak, but there is another problem—the poison doesn’t work, and the king doesn’t die. Rather, he awakes from his coma paralyzed, aware of the attempt on his life, and furious.
With the palace in a state of upheaval and everyone hunting the king's poisoner, Persaphe flees, leaving Selene the task of rehabilitating the man she aimed to kill, all while hiding her true role in his demise. What follows is a journey spanning years and continents, as a king and his servant develop into unlikely friends…and more. Yet the closer Selene grows to the king, the more her secret weighs on her, as does her growing fear that Persaphe—having failed to kill him once—might return to try again.
To Poison a King is so many things: a fantasy, a love story, a reminder that your body (and specifically, disability) does not define you. I wanted this book to read like poetry. I wanted Selene to reflect my own insecurities. I've never created a character based so closely on my own experience, and I likely never will again. To Poison a King is about two people who find each other and themselves. It's about a girl and a mistake and the price of forgiveness. I wrote this story straight from the heart, and my hope is that when you read it, you can tell.
You can order your copy now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
Thank you to everyone who has already reached out to express your excitement and enthusiasm over the story. I’m so, so excited for you to meet Selene and Elias. Cheers for now and as always, happy reading.
