A Journey Unveiled

By Amy Maltman

A plane crash. A cave. A magical journey begins.

Lexi Guinel finds herself trapped in a perilous world where mythical beings exist, in a kingdom on the brink of rebellion. She didn't arrive by chance, and she has no idea how valuable she is.

As a lover of all things fantasy, she should be excited to have stumbled through a portal into the company of witches and elves. If only she hadn't lost most of her family in the process. If only it wouldn't be eight years before she can return home. Likewise, learning she can control elements and speak with animals should be exhilarating, but using magic is forbidden. Punishable by death. And use magic she must: a prophecy foretold her role in saving Gowerland from the tyrannical king and his allies, the dark elves.

Burdened by the hopes of an oppressed people, Lexi must learn to master her powers along with her fear, and when her fate becomes entangled with that of Prince Aeric, the danger only increases. Ill-tempered and devious, he shares his father's every prejudice and obeys his every cruel command. Surrounded by secrets and expectations, Lexi and Aeric have important roles to play...provided they don't kill each other first.

Step through a crack, you can't go back.

The tale of a modern girl in a magical otherworld, the Daughter of Venus trilogy is perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Lynette Noni's The Medoran Chronicles.

Diversity is an important feature of the trilogy, including a biracial protagonist, BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ representation, and characters with disabilities. *Much of A Journey Unveiled is set in a small town with a limited cast of characters. Representation increases as the world expands in book two, An Enemy Defined.*

"Magic, elements, portals, and prophecies, what's not to love?...With a combination of science, astrology, magic, war, monarchy, and a prophecy, this was as epic as one would think." - Gumiho Reviews

"An epic fantasy novel where the modern world and a magical realm collide in the best possible way " - Jennie Griffin, The Redhead Notes

"It's part slice of life, part epic fantasy...Lexi's life in the sleepy Jalnarrah takes an abrupt turn as a tragic fate befalls the town. From this point on, I felt spoiled by the story. This second part of the book just does not let up, going from exciting development to exciting development...The ending is fantastic..." - Jon Herrera, author
