I’m so thrilled to introduce you to Ari, the protagonist of my upcoming book Heart of Bone. She’s probably less thrilled to be here, but she can deal with it.
Arianwen “Ari” Valdris is the only child and heir of Alwyn Valdris, one of the great lords of Brevony. She’s grown up in the shadow of her father’s legacy, and is desperate to prove herself a worthy heir. Thanks to a natural talent for artifice, Ari’s risen fast through the ranks of the guild, rediscovering many of the secrets lost during the fall of the empire. But though she’s great with machines, people can be harder for her, especially after recent events…
When we pick up her story in Heart of Bone, she’s in a rough spot. She’s lost a hand, a lover, an inheritance, and a father. And worse, everyone thinks she’s the killer. But she hasn’t lost any of her determination.
Ari’s going to find the murderer and make him pay. She’s hot on the trail of Miro Sorengaard, an illusionist that might prove to be her best lead yet. Let’s just hope no one interrupts her…
Until next time, dear readers!
