I did once.
At the time of my marriage, an older woman uttered this prophecy to me:
“Queen she will be one day, her name will be celebrated, near and far. Her son will rule the three kingdoms and beyond.”
Was this prophecy about me? Once, I believed it was. Now, I don’t know.
I did become the Queen of Padi. I had three sons. In a twist of fate, my youngest, Atul, is the heir to the Malla throne. I worry sometimes about this prophecy coming true, especially with Atul in Kashgar, surrounded by unknown dangers. My mother’s heart clenches with dread for my surviving children.
As a heartfelt gesture to her dearest readers, Anna Bushi, the storyteller behind my son’s journey, has set the launch price at just $0.99. Don’t miss out on this special offer, as the price will rise upon release. Grab your copy today!
My grandfather raised me in a modest home filled with love.
My world shattered on that dark day when my uncle coerced my grandfather into cursing a ship from Malla. With his last breath, my grandfather cast a protective spell around me, shielding me from the clutches of my uncle.
For the first time in my life, I found myself alone, fleeing from the only home I had ever known, with danger lurking around every corner. My uncle’s relentless pursuit and the deadly intentions of a princess plunged me into a whirlwind of peril. I can’t fathom why they’re after me.
But the most bewildering discovery comes when I uncover my deep-rooted bond with the whispering river.
I am excited to share the cover of Book 1 in the Prophesied Prince series: Child of the River. I love this cover. From the tree motif in the crown to the golden-tipped feather swan, this art brings together the elements in my novel in a beautiful way. Please let me know your thoughts on this cover.
Child of the River:
When an exiled prince seeks refuge in their land, Malla dispatches emissaries to Kashgar. In a declaration of war, the men they had sent as envoys to Kashgar returned as corpses on a ship.
Prince Atul travels to Kashgar to route out the rebels and seat the exiled prince on the throne. When he arrives, Prince Atul is prepared to wage war against men. What he encounters are curses and spells. How does he defeat what he does not understand? Especially when he hears voices urging him to protect a girl he has never met. A girl named Sugandha.
