Banished from Elvendom and forced to seek refuge among the Saxons, young Elgiva faces a grim future – until she crosses paths with Godwin, a Briton enslaved by the people she must now call allies.

When a dark power rises to claim dominion over Elvendom, Elgiva and Godwin set off on a dangerous quest for the legendary Lorestone: the only thing that can stop the looming darkness. With a reluctant elf boy as their guide and a stubborn pony by their side, they must navigate the treacherous land and harness ancient magic before it’s too late.

As battle lines are drawn, Elgiva must embrace her true heritage, and Godwin must learn to wield the secret power he possesses. But can they find the Lorestone in time – or will Elvendom fall forever?

A historical fantasy adventure set in 6th century Britain, THE EXILE OF ELINDEL is the first book in Carol Browne’s The Elwardain Chronicles series.

“For over twenty years, I’ve been lied to—magic burns within my veins, and I’m unable to resist its call.”

Yearning to be a typical college student, I’m anything but ordinary. My veins pulse with an uncontrollable magic, a secret my mother concealed for over two decades. Descended from a powerful bloodline, I possess a sixth sense that attracts masked figures hungry for my essence and strangers urging me to join their cause.

And amidst the intrigue, a captivating man with ancient magic seeks a forbidden bond.

As bodies surface and killers roam, I’m thrust into a perilous role. My people are hunted, their existence hanging by a thread. Trapped in an unwanted life, I must find the strength to unleash my dormant power or witness my kind’s extinction.

HEART SEEKER, the first in The Fire Heart Chronicles, is an urban fantasy where romance, magic, and mystery converge. Will Mirella succumb to the shadows or rise as a force in a world on the brink of supernatural oblivion?
