Daisy thought she was just a small-town girl.
The storm proved otherwise.
Eighteen-year-old Daisy Davis has never fit the mold. With a sharp tongue, a loyal red heeler named Tater, and a lifetime of struggle behind her, she's spent most of her days surviving rural life in Western North Carolina. But when a mysterious storm sweeps through the mountains, Daisy is pulled into a world unlike any she's ever known-a land torn by ancient magic, political war, and shadowed by a destiny that's been waiting for her arrival.
Armed with nothing but her stubborn grit and the growing magic inside her, Daisy must navigate a land where loyalty is rare, monsters wear human faces, and power always has a price. But this world has secrets of its own-and Daisy may not be as lost in it as she thinks.
The Traveler's Wake is the first book in The Ballad of Daisy Davis, a gripping portal fantasy series that blends Appalachian spirit with raw magic, fierce heart, and unflinching resolve.
