The debut fantasy novel by Milton Keynes based author A.F.E Smith is now available to download as an ebook.
Our writer answered a call by Harper Voyager for new authors, and sent in her work...along with 5000 other hopefuls.
Eventually, the words were whittled down until just 15 authors remained, and A.F.E Smith was one of them.
The mother of two and an editor of academic texts by day has delivered the goods despite being sleep deprived, and says she is 'powered by chocolate' instead of Zzz's!
In case you are seeking a new book to dig into, here's the gist for Darkhaven:
'Ayla Nightshade never wanted to rule Darkhaven. But her half-brother Myrren – true heir to the throne – hasn't inherited their family gift, forcing her to take his place.
When this gift leads to Ayla being accused of killing her father, Myrren is the only one to believe her innocent.
Does something more sinister than the power to shapeshift lie at the heart of the Nightshade family line?
Now on the run, Ayla must fight to clear her name if she is ever to wear the crown she never wanted and be allowed to return to the home she has always loved.'
The ebook is available at £1.99, with a paperback release set for early 2016.
