I Finally Published My Debut Novel!
If anyone is searching for a sign to pursue your creative visions, this is it! It took time and work, but it was also FUN. I've enjoyed the writing process so incredibly much and I couldn't be happier to have my book out there in the world!
Book title: "The Language of the Trees" - Gracie Autumn
Edit: Here's the story blurb!
"In the quiet Riverlands, Maude dismisses a distant plume of smoke as nothing more than a forest fire—until she discovers she can hear the voices of plants. Ancient magic has returned to the lands, and with it comes the threat of war.
Determined to warn the seafaring Akarelles, Maude sets out on a perilous journey south. Traveling beside her is Achoren, a shape-shifter haunted by a dark past. Though reluctant allies at first, the two forge an unlikely friendship as they journey south.
Meanwhile, in the north, Goldmoor Castle falls to the invading Tathian army. Forced to flee alongside Motley, the king’s infuriating jester, Princess Ollie is thrust into an unfamiliar world. Surviving the dangers ahead may be difficult enough; surviving them with someone she can barely tolerate may prove even harder.
As the threat of war hangs over the lands, Maude, Achoren, Ollie, and Motley are swept along by forces older than kingdoms and deeper than memory."
