Hello friends!

'Princess of Dawn' is my debut new adult fantasy novel and I would love to have you partner with me to see this book make it into the world! I have been working on this book since November 2020, and I've spent the last 2.5 years writing, editing and rewriting it, preparing this very special story for readers near and far.

By pre-ordering a paperback through this campaign, you are guaranteed to receive a signed copy of the book, plus some other goodies that are limited to this initial print run. You can also pre-order the eBook, if Kindle or digital is more your style. 

✨ Every paperback copy will come with a bookmark. 

✨ Both paperback & eBook orders will come with early access to the 'Princess of Dawn' Spotify playlist, which I have curated to be read alongside the novel.

If you would like the opportunity to have your name printed in the acknowledgements of the book, check out the very special, very limited, VIP bundles! More info below.

And I've saved the best part for last! For those keen to celebrate the publication of this book with me, in person, there are options available for you to join the fun at the official book launch party in September this year. Read on below for more information about the book launch party, the limited VIP bundles and the blurb.

Thank you for partnering with me in this exciting adventure. By supporting this campaign, you are actively fueling my dreams — go you!

Book Launch Party - 23rd September, Sydney

To celebrate the release of 'Princess of Dawn', I will be hosting a book launch party for friends, family & readers. If you are local to Sydney, you can grab a ticket and join me in celebrating on the 23rd of September in Brookvale! This is also a great opportunity to pick up your copy of the book (avoid paying for shipping) and receive it 3 days before release day! There will be some food to nibble on for the evening, an author Q&A and a reading from the book. This is an in-person event and tickets are strictly limited.

A Visual Guide to the Rewards

'Princess of Dawn' Blurb

Galdinia Elderwin, the nineteen-year-old Princess of Crysterra, has lived in the safety of her father’s shadow her whole life. When the King unexpectedly dies, Galdinia is left with the task of becoming Queen, but she is missing the key to her ascension to the throne: her gift of elemental power from the Gods. 

After the King’s death, the capital of Crysterra observes the Week of Mourning, which is full of ceremonies and celebrations in honour of the late King, and on the Seventh Day of Mourning, Princess Galdinia is set to be coronated as Queen. In the span of one week, Galdinia must navigate the throes of training for a gift she has not yet been given, gain the respect of the capital’s Syndicate—who still view her as a child—and overcome the heartache of past forbidden love as she is presented with five powerful and charming suitors who could help legitimise her claim to the throne. All the while, she is wary of her enemies on the horizon—her loathsome uncle and aunt, and the exiled Valah Pyrin—who all believe they have a claim to the throne and would do anything to take it from the young Princess.

Galdinia struggles to deal with the rising pressure and anxieties of becoming Queen on her own merit, doing right by the citizens of Crysterra, and having faith in the Gods, and more importantly, herself.

'Princess of Dawn' is the first book in The Crystal Crown Trilogy. With its fast-paced story and expansive world, 'Princess of Dawn' is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Victoria Aveyard.
