A Tale of Something Dead

A Tale of Something Dead

by

D. S. McColgan

There is a seat for everyone at destiny’s table.


Liliana has regained control of her own body and must face the damage Sartiria wrought. The other Lords are highly suspicious of her sudden transformation back to being human. Annie rejects her mother, who she feels abandoned by, while El is unable to touch Liliana due to the Light inside of her. What does this mean for them? Where is Liliana’s place truly?


As if all this weren’t enough, she learns that her best friend and cousin Valerie has gone missing. So she sets off in search of her, without realising how far this adventurous journey will take her … or that it may just end in the clutches of the rumoured Dead King.



*Join Liliana in this concluding book in the A Tale of Series on a journey that not only brings her to a new continent but also pushes her to the very edge.*

About the Author

D. S. McColgan

I grew up in a village not far from the Swiss Alps, surrounded by forest and mountains. Now I live in Wales with my wonderful husband and my daughter.  


I write cosy yet dark fantasy with historic fairy tale vibes. My stories are populated by interesting, authentic characters and have a message to share alongside the fantastical elements.  


My favourite books are by Nina Blazon, Naomi Novik, Brandon Sanderson, V. E. Schwab, Elizabeth Wheatley and many others.
