Legend of the Pearl
🌊 Book One • The Prophecy of Three
On a mist-shrouded island during World War I, a nameless girl is found wandering the shore — with no memory of who she is. Raised inside a grand estate shadowed by grief, she begins to uncover whispers of ocean legends and an ancient prophecy tied to a hidden realm beneath the sea.
As fragments of her past awaken, she realizes she may be the key to restoring balance between two worlds.
✨ A lyrical YA fantasy of destiny, identity, and the haunting call of the ocean.
Little Door of Secrets
🗝 Book One • Tales From House on the Hill
Summer, 1986.
The mansion on the hill gleams with wealth and perfection. But behind its polished façade lies a hidden door no one dares to open. When a young girl arrives for the season, she’s drawn into a world of glamour, temptation, and unsettling secrets. The family who rules the estate is not what they seem — and the darkness behind the door is watching.
✨ A gothic coming-of-age fantasy of desire, power, and the cost of stepping into the shadows.
Whispers of the Shadow World
🌑 Book Two • Tales From House on the Hill
The key has been found — and the door is no longer sealed.
When Emily uncovers a hidden realm tied to the mansion, she awakens forces older than the house itself. As shadows gather and loyalties fracture, she must uncover the truth before both worlds collapse into darkness.
Not everyone trapped beyond the veil can be trusted.
✨ A suspenseful YA fantasy of parallel realms, forgotten magic, and courage tested by fear.
