A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond...
The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war. Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world.
Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.
Anne Hawksmoor: The Time Traveller is the first book in the Anne Hawksmoor series. It follows the time-travelling adventures of eleven-year-old Anne Hawksmoor during her visit from Chicago to Greenwich and the Tower of London in England.
Anne is a bullied pre-teen who finds herself unable to relate to her peers at school. Every day after school, she seeks refuge in the Chicago Public Library, where she discovers her passion for history, science, and math.
In Book One, during a summer vacation, Anne and her cousin Claire travel to visit their aunt Marjorie and cousin John in Greenwich, England. It is during their trip to the Tower of London that Anne and Claire go back in time to 1548 and embark on an unexpected adventure with the young King Edward and his servant James.
