The Light Within

by

Carliann Jean

In a time of political unrest and looming war, the country of Sweazn is drowning in trauma, pain, and suffering. Eira and her friends are weighed down on the front lines, working tirelessly in therapeutic and investigative roles. Though all are nearly pushed to their limits, Eira and her friends keep each other afloat with love and laughter.

Beyond Sweazn, through a thin veil of time and space, the realm of souls, Majikaero, faces its own peril. A plague of darkness spreads rapidly, and Prince Nyx knows too well the agony and exile it brings. Eira’s recurring dreams and lost memories drag her into Majikaero. Here, she encounters new allies and foes, including Nyx, the deviously alluring shadow prince who Eira can’t help but feel irrevocably drawn to.

Eira learns she once thrived in Majikaero, her soul radiant with healing power. Now, confronted with the mysteries of her origins, the plight of her damaged friends, and the encroaching darkness, she must summon the strength and magic to protect both realms.

Eira must face the trauma of her past and find the one thing that can save those she loves: the light within.

The Light Within is book one of a thrilling fantasy romance series that is centered around themes of mental health and healing.

You can’t hide a goddess from her own destiny…
