The Karenina Chronicles: A Waterspell Novel
A water mage who can summon floods, suddenly unable to call a single drop. What would you do if the thing that defined you slipped away?
When the power you built your life around stops answering, who are you? Lady Karenina leaves home and hearth to outrun her grief, and finds something harder than any enemy waiting in the South Country: herself. This is a fantasy about loss, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild.
Gripped by a grief-fueled wanderlust after the death of her Earthly husband, Lady Karenina of Ruain—Nina to family and friends—escapes into unfamiliar lands, a harsh and distant country peopled with enigmatic characters: the Leviathan, the Nomad, the Outcast, and the Wolf. In their company she finds adventure, danger, champions, and rogues—some of the latter worth killing, but at least one worth loving.
Chronologically fifth in the Waterspell series, The Karenina Chronicles is a standalone story which is fully accessible to readers who have no knowledge of the previous four books. Whether you are just discovering the Waterspell universe, or continuing the family saga that began in the original Waterspell quartet (Warlock, Wysard, Wisewoman, Witch), you will find an unforgettable heroine and a rich world of characters in The Karenina Chronicles.
For Readers Who Enjoy: fantasy adventure, mature heroines, books about grief and healing, water magic, character-driven fantasy, found purpose, immersive worldbuilding, emotional journeys, magical herbalism and caregiving

From the Author:
This installment in the Waterspell series is a journey tale that covers a lot of ground. Karenina (Nina) would not leave me alone until I'd consented to tell the story of her "grand tour." She insisted that I slip inside her saddlebags and make the trip with her. I'm glad I did. It's been a journey of self-discovery for myself as well as for Nina. Though chronologically fifth in the series, this book works as a standalone novel: readers can connect with the characters and follow their stories without having read the first four books. There's enough backstory scattered through this sequel to give readers the necessary background.
If you've been thinking about dipping your toe into the Waterspell ocean, The Karenina Chronicles is the book to start you off. Thank you for your interest and your support. These books mean a lot to me, and this one has a special hold on my heart. I'm a widow, too.
