What is A DEATH OF DIVINITY ABOUT?
In 1920s New York, magic is a currency in itself, and none are more powerful than those who run the astounding Carnival of the Seasons.
In the cold dawn of post-war Prohibition-era New York, three women find themselves inextricably tied together following a murder at the prestigious Carnival of the Seasons, a spectacle of money and magic.
For Andie Fairley, star showgirl, the Carnival is a vehicle for power. She hungers for the dangerous magic only granted to the elite. Her passionate dynamic with the young Lord Summer will either make or break her—perhaps both.
For Prue Clermont, a housewife whose marriage has been forever changed by the war, the Carnival is an escape. Yet as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, Prue discovers untold horrors about the Carnival and about herself.
For Ursula Delavane, Lord Summer’s domineering mother, the Carnival is a necessity. With a resistance growing, promising magic to all and not just the elite, her control is slipping. There is nothing she would not do to protect her only child.
As tensions rise and the balance of power begins to shift, whispers of prophecy and of Excalibur, the heart of all magic, are on the wind. Standing on the precipice of change, all three women must decide who they want to be, and what they’re willing to sacrifice for their goals.
"Whatever magic was inside her felt like it was fighting her and feeding her at the same time."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Having spent my life across three Australian states—Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales—I grew up telling stories from a very young age. We’re talking scrawling down ideas on coloured paper, folding it in half and declaring it a “book” (I’m pretty sure my grandparents still have some of them stored away somewhere).
I started submitting my books to agents and publishers when I was 12 (they were not good, and I don’t blame these people for gently rejecting me), but it was only in my early twenties that I began to get involved with fellow authors and learn more about indie publishing. My career started off with several submissions in Australian anthologies, mostly run by Deadset Press.
In late 2018, I began writing my debut novel, Blood of Queens. From there, I hurtled headlong into the indie publishing realm, learning a lot from my fellow friends and authors, until Blood of Queens was finally published in 2021. Since then, I have completed the Legacy of the Lost trilogy, had another anthology piece published in Of Fate And Fury, and have my fourth book set for publication in late 2025.
As a writer, I am especially passionate about complex characters, healthy relationships, and well-written female protagonists. In my spare time, you can find me drinking tea, settling in with a good book, or creating yet another character in Baldur’s Gate 3.
