But living in a village where perception defines your very existence, Kyl finds himself financially and socially bankrupt—overlooked, undervalued, and relegated to the shadows. So when he finds himself waking in the stables of the noble household he is supposed to be attending, he finds himself ill-prepared for the fateful meeting of Aelyria Moiral—Daughter Heir of said noble household, whose family is akin to royalty in Tyrwe. Feeling as though he’s been caught with his pants down, and with nothing to lose, Kyl strikes a bargain, beginning an unlikely friendship. But as their relationship deepens into an even unlikelier romance, Kyl finds himself enthralled by Aelyria’s intelligence and her tantalizing, potentially dangerous, secret. So when she is mysteriously kidnapped without a trace—his only clue a strange glass dagger of mystifying origin—Kyl sets off after her, swearing he will not rest until she is found. Meanwhile, from the dawn of human existence, in the realm of the divine where emotions are a foreign concept—an enigma best left to the mortal coil—one deity finds themselves inextricably drawn to the peculiarity of human life; captivated by the very emotions they, themself, cannot feel. As curiosity deepens into obsession, the ways of humans is too tantalizing to resist, and the deity finds themselves entangled within the lives of mortals, forever changing the trajectory of mortal-kind. But doing so draws the attention of a divine nemesis who views mortals as a blight. The perilous journey ahead will lead the apprentice to a destiny intertwined with divinity, uncover knowledge from a long dead ancient civilization, and befriend unlikely people: an enterprising young princess, a powerful shapeshifter, and a mysterious ship captain who harbors a secret that may just be the key to finding Aelyria. So as Kyl discovers the kidnappers’ actions are rooted in a millennia-old conflict that could threaten to end his world as he knows it, he must confront the limits of human mortality and the true power of the glass dagger. But where does Aelyria stand in it all? And can he save her, and his world, before it's too late? “The Glass Dagger” is a gripping fantasy adventure, rich with immersive world building, that weaves a tale of discovery, betrayal, self-acceptance, and the profound meaning behind the mortal condition and human mortality. Fans of The Stormlight Archive, The Wheel of Time, Earthsea, and Tolkien will enjoy this epic tale of battling gods and strength of the human heart.

Book Consultation FAQ's WHY WIX? Wix is, without a doubt, one of the best websites builders around. I use Wix for all my client's websites because it is affordable, user-friendly, easy to update, completely customizable, easy to use and maintain, and includes a built-in email marketing system (all of which I personally use and love). There is a reason Wix was voted the #1 best website builder. Not to mention it's jam packed with features, everything you need is built in, and the end result is a website you—yourself—can update in just a few clicks. DO I NEED TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR FOR YOU TO TAKE ME ON AS A CLIENT? Nope! Not at all! I'm here to provide support and help to all kinds of writers—no matter where you are in your author career. A NOTE ON HOSTING A WEBSITE THROUGH WIX Please note that you have to pay Wix for hosting your website (roughly around $100 a year). This is separate to the price you would pay me and is payable yearly to Wix. No matter what solution you find, you will have to pay a hosting fee for your website to ‘live’ on the internet.
