Nuama is a paradise where winged women rule and gorgeous men—stripped of their ability to fly—exist solely to serve. But now, paradise is cracking. The nightmarish realm of Ihatithre is bleeding through, and if the barrier fails completely, Nuama will burn. Seven perspectives. Seven lives spiraling ever closer to collision. Empress Thelyrah hides a realm-ending secret while racing against time to save trapped souls from Ihatithre. An exiled servant uncovers ancient truths that could get him killed. Etan'ash, the Empress’s Evermate, races between worlds chasing a mysterious figure who could unravel everything. And somewhere in the far reaches of Nuama, a winged male is falling in love—and running for his life. As forbidden desires ignite and Nuama's systems of control based on an ancient betrayal crumble, each must cling to the order that has protected them for millennia, or risk everything to forge a dangerous new reality. But when the fate of all realities hangs by so thin a thread, one wrong move could snap it forever. Why readers love this.

I'm so glad you found this series! I've poured my heart and soul into it since 2017, and am overjoyed to share it with you. The first chapter of Book One includes a brief, almost-completely off-page scene that may be difficult for survivors of SA. This is the only scene of its kind in the series and is handled with care and sensitivity. My goal is to always create a safe space for my readers, which is why my writing prioritizes satisfying, consensual romantic encounters. If you stick with the story, you'll be well-rewarded with POV characters who are easy to love (or hate), spice that satisfies, and an ever-unfolding labyrinth of secrets and revelations—each more shocking than the last. This series explores a reality where women rule. In Nuama, they believe males must be subjugated to keep everyone else safe. There are no easy answers here, though personally I believe our own world would be a lot more enjoyable if women held more power—a belief I have imbued in this series and the companion side series (Nuama After Dark + Nuama Side Quests). Why are you still here? Nuama is waiting for you! less
