A captivating tale where fantasy and reality meet as strangers are thrown into circumstances, not of their making.
Bea, a young woman living in London is healing from a toxic relationship and the loss of a beloved uncle, who left her a second-hand bookshop. It had been an especially difficult year, and the shop's trivial daily conversations, local faces, and calm were all that she desired. That is, until the night of a party when two opposing sects of a forgotten race deliberately insert themselves into her life. Her quiet existence turns into turmoil as she begins to unravel a secret past. A lost history in which love, revenge, betrayal, and magic become a sacred journey, leading her to uncover a much bigger tale. The future is not set in stone, and the choices she makes ripple through the cosmos. As the mystery unfolds, she realises that no matter what form your soul takes there are consequences for actions in which time has no relevance – we call it karma, they call it Vororbla.
What would you do if someone else’s soul depended on your existence?
Who are the Otherworldly beings, and what do they want from Bea?
In the books, I mention to 'keep your light bright' as we've all experienced at some point in our lives, a time when nothing makes sense, a time when life can feel like it's too much to bear, and I really wanted to send out an important message – that you are so much more than what you initially see, and to remember, a fading light secretly masks an eternity. This inner light never truly diminishes, and we can always shine bright, again.
The mental imagery of 'A carpet of purple flowers’ inspired me in such a magical way that I felt compelled to write my first novel. Once I placed pen to paper, the story began to grow into a much greater tale. Maybe, every creative whimsy that I have ever envisaged and not acted on, has waited until now to be brought to life. My mind raced as folklore came entwined with love, fate entwined with choice, science entwined with spiritual teachings - all guiding me to write a romance that revolves around a karmic cycle.

A truly unique premise that merges the spiritual with the paranormal in a very interesting way. I highly recommend.
