A deep affection for language initially led to a career in law, but a passion for the surreal, the mysterious, and an overactive imagination steered this author toward writing from a young age. For over sixteen years, an immersive, evolving narrative has been developing, growing organically around its consistent core. While the intention was never publication but rather an unwavering commitment to characters and their histories, this epic journey is now being shared in hopes of offering readers the same sense of escapism and joy it has provided the author.

On the island kingdom of Meta Emery, a young queen, Abigail, wakes in the middle of the night to a terrifying realisation; hostile wizards from the rival kingdom of Archmond have finally done what they've been threatening to do: bring a girl, Lucy, into this world to destroy the queen and all she has worked for. Hundreds of miles west, in Archmond itself, a great feast unfolds in the castle to celebrate Lucy's arrival. Soleman, one of the wizards and a co-ruler of Archmond, has spread the news to his people that Lucy is the heroine an ancient prophecy predicted; he promises that the discord throughout their world will soon be over. But his fellow ruler Ronald remains dubious that this apparently meek and troubled girl could really overthrow Abigail, or whether she is ever likely to want to. This highly imaginative and original novel is the first in an exciting new fantasy series, 'Lucy's Crypt'.
