About this ebook

When truth threatens power, the victor controls the pen.   

 

Unpredictable and heart-pounding, enjoy this gripping epic fantasy with magic, political intrigue, tragic romance, and lovable, flawed heroes.  

 

Bookish scholar Lira has dedicated her life to studying and preserving her kingdom's histories. When the charming young king, Eremon, chooses her to inherit the royal archive, she can hardly believe her luck. 

 

But those who control the throne have secretly dominated the population by stealing their rightful magic. And when Lira inherits forbidden magic, she quickly becomes a target. 

 

As Lira's bond with the king deepens, a terrifying truth emerges: dark magic is rising, and no one can be trusted - not even her friend and protector, Aidryn, who begs her to leave Eremon and the city behind. 

 

When Lira finds herself alone, with enemies at every turn, will she have the courage to embrace her true power and fight the dark magic that threatens her world? 

 

Defender of Histories is the spellbinding first installment of the epic fantasy series, The Witness Tree Chronicles

 

"It has everything you'd want from a story: fast-paced adventure, ancient libraries and general book nerdery, a slow-burn friends to lovers romance... be still my beating heart." ★★★★★
