This is the third and final Legendary Queen Aesthetic for my Elements of Ilysia series as it is the one for the first Dark Empress, Víkatréa I. Of the three legendary queens, she is the only one to have no scenes in the entire series. She will be only mentioned in the one and not actually met until the prequel series I plan on writing sometime in the future. The basics are on paper in my notebooks about the world of Ilysia but I’m not saying much more. It’s a huge world and I could probably write for the rest of my life on just it alone. But not to worry because there are other projects near and dear to my heart. They have news soon so keep your eyes peeled for that too! Enter this world in “A Darkness Awakens” the first book in “The Elements of Ilysia” YA Dark/Epic Fantasy series. It’s available on Amazon in paperback and for Ebook (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Smashwords, and more). Audiobook edition coming soon, later this year is the plan! The series continues in the second book “The Prophecy Unveiled (The Elements of Ilysia: Volume Two)” that I hope to be releasing by the end of this year.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared an Aesthetic from my Elements of Ilysia series. The audiobook edition for the first book is in the recording stages with my amazing narrator, Maria Marquis. I am in process of writing the second book but before progress continues with it I must finish writing my parts of “Souls Ignited: The Story of Vlad the Impaler and the Women He Loved (The Passion of the Dragon Saga: Volume Three)” which I co-write with @raynakingstonauthor first. Stay tuned for news about it from us very soon! This Aesthetic is of Marchioness Rínae Málvyén of the White Fae. Rínae is the niece of Queen Résalyn II and a warrior. She works closely with the witch John Daesyn as a part of his spy network and the Resistance forces in Corinthia. Her power is with the element of fire. Meet her in “A Darkness Awakens” the first book in “The Elements of Ilysia” YA Dark/Epic Fantasy series. It’s available on Amazon in paperback and for Ebook (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Smashwords, and more). Audiobook edition coming soon, later this year is the plan! You will get to know her better in the second book “The Prophecy Unveiled (The Elements of Ilysia: Volume Two)” that I hope to be releasing by the end of this year.

My #nanowrimo project is writing book two in this series. To celebrate that, you can grab ebook for $1.99 of the first book “A Darkness Awakens (The Elements of Ilysia: Volume One)” all November long! This new Aesthetic for my Elements of Ilysia series is of the second legendary Queen, Maelyn of the White Fae. You meet her along with Queen Anna the Beloved of the Kingdom of Humans and White Witches at the beginning of A Darkness Awakens. There will be a prequel to come in the future where I will share more of their stories. Queen Maelyn announces to her court the devastating news of the attack on Pétríval Castle and the Human royal family, giving her pledge them she will protect any survivors her people find. The court of the White Fae feel it is their duty to help keep the Darkness from further as it was the Fae Civil War that first brought darkness to the lands of Ilysia. She is firm in her belief that the Elves can never be depended on to do anything more than remain neutral. Those she sends to search for survivors return to her court with Queen Anna and her children, which starts the formation and bond between their courts. From that moment on the White Fae and Human Courts are allies against the dark forces. Maelyn and Anna become lifelong friends, with Maelyn doing everything she can to help her friend survive the painful grief she lived in for the rest of her days from the loss of her husband. Like Anna, Maelyn also has the rare gift of being able to manipulate all five of the elements. It was not long after Queen Maelyn’s death when the Oracles spoke of the prophecy in which the girl born of it would be a descendant if both legendary queens and gifted with the same rare abilities. #aesthetic #characteraesthetic #elementsofilysia #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yafantasyseries #fantasybooks #fantasybookseries #ebook #kindledeals #kindle #epicfantasy #fantasy #writer #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofig #writers #bookstagram #yareads #yabooks #aesthetics #greatreads #yabookseries #bookdragon #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/BqApnrUnUyr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i8qxgq9el3z4

The first 15 minutes sample of the audiobook for “A Darkness Awakens (The Elements of Ilysia: Volume One)” was just approved! I’ve got an incredible narrator who has nailed the vision in my head for how I imagine it to sound perfectly. I can’t wait to share more about the amazing Maria through this process as we are discussing working together on her narrating other books in the world of Ilysia. More updates on this audiobook coming soon! But for now don’t miss grabbing the ebook for $1.99 all November long! In the beginning of A Darkness Awakens you will meet two of Ilysia’s legendary Queens. Here is an aesthetic for the first, Queen Anna the Beloved of the Humans and White Witches. Queen Anna is a full blooded witch who was the wife of King Henry the Great. They ruled over the Humans and White Witches of Ilysia from the ruling seat of Pétríval Castle up until the fall to darkness when the first Darkness Empress, Víkatréa I of the Dark Fae, rose to power. Anna fled the castle with her children to the safety of the White Fae Court where Queen Maelyn gave them sanctuary. She and Maelyn became life long friends as they both possessed the rare ability to manipulate all five of the elements. It was not long after Queen Madelyn’s death when the Oracles spoke of the prophecy in which the girl born of it would be a descendant if both legendary queens. #aesthetic #characteraesthetic #elementsofilysia #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yafantasyseries #fantasybooks #fantasybookseries #audiobooks #ebook #kindledeals #kindle #epicfantasy #fantasy #audible #writer #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofig #writers #bookstagram #yareads #yabooks #aesthetics #greatreads #yabookseries #bookdragon #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxRsOsH2aF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ow5t0jxmz1qc
