Ella of Everlast

Everything is wrong in Ella’s world. She can’t fly or wield magic like the other Fara. And now her parents are sending her to the last place she wants to be: the Great Oak, school of the Fara. Worse still, the Crystal Veil that has guarded Everlast for a hundred years is failing. What happens if it falls? And how in Everlast is Ella supposed to survive school long enough to find out? Drawn into a world of hidden realms, fading hope, and ancient wonder, Ella must uncover her purpose before the shadows consume it all.

There Beneath

Zohara is caught between the shadow of grief and the stirring of something divine within her. Which one will win in the end? There Beneath is a coming-of-age tale steeped in magical realism—an aching, luminous story of loss, awakening, and the relentless love of a God who pursues His lost sheep and weaves every hurt, trial, and detour into good… if you let Him.

The Girl in the Dreamweave

Ella thought making it to Shiloh would bring answers. But the truth waiting for her is bigger than anything she imagined. Neither of her parents are who she believed them to be—so what does that make her? And what’s going on with her dreams? They’re becoming stranger than ever… and feeling very real. Even the Fara friends she grew close to are beginning to take new and unfamiliar paths. Not to mention a whole new cast of wizards, unicorns, mermaidens, and… a dwarven mouse? But it just might take all of them to bring down Turullian, remove the Veil, wake the Everyn, and conquer the shadow consuming their world.

A glimpse into Gibi’s world

Imagine a world with no color. Where people have no names and every day is exactly like the day before. Welcome to the land Of dull and gray. But that's all about to change.

“In a land long forgotten, fading and far away,
there lived a little girl with no smile and no name. A girl with no name in a land dull and gray. In a land with no laughs, with no fun, with no play.”

The story

The Crystal Veil is failing.

Darkness is slipping through. Children are vanishing. The Kingdom of Everlast stands divided on the eve of the Royal Awakening. And a strange boy is determined to take down the Veil that’s protected the Kingdom for a hundred years. As if that weren’t enough, Ella’s parents have decided to send her far away from her home, to finish her studies… or perhaps their real motive is to keep her safe. Whatever the reason, for the first time in her life, Ella is going to have to face other Fara her age—Fara who can wield magic and fly. Two things she can’t do. If only she could take her giant wolf protector, she wouldn’t mind so much. But she can’t.

This time, Ella must face the world alone. But, maybe this is the path to the purpose she’s always prayed for. And maybe that strange boy will be waiting when she gets there.

Welcome to a world of rings that live in dreams, pixies that eat laughter, and trees that sing. This is a story about fear that consumes… and the faith that conquers it. Because…

The Creator has a purpose for every creature no matter how big, small… or magicless.
