Secrets, lies, and subterfuge.
When Liylah Flouwers is taken in off the street by a lonely Kalsie Greer to share her run-down apartment-without-a-view, the two find themselves becoming friends. Maybe more. But both are emotionally broken. Liylah is empty without her magic and stunned by her sister’s rejection after running away. Kalsie was abandoned by her parents and is trapped working for a tyrannical organization waging civil war. It’s the two of them against the world.
Liylah’s depression takes a turn for the worse when events from the nightmare world of Sojor start bleeding into reality. She desperately wants her magic back. She also wants Kalsie.
She can’t have both.
Edge of Dawn is the second story in the Dark Innocence series and can be read as a standalone. A mix of urban fantasy, romance, and snark, the book is a mood read that explores obsession, broken relationships, and the desire to find one’s place in a lonely, unforgiving world.

It’s real life that’s the problem. When Liy and K first fell in love, they were rootless, penniless, and emotionally broken. It was them against the world. Five years later, they have budding careers and live in a cozy condo. They’re comfortable—maybe too comfortable. Liylah and Kalsie always loved each other for who they were, but will they still love each other for who they’re becoming?
When a life-changing surprise completely rocks their world, there may not be a fantastical dream in all of dreamland that can save them.

No safe is too tough to crack for these two stealthy bandits–as long as their overnight capers get them home in time for delicious breakfast.
Detective work in 1950’s New England calls for some sharp sleuths. But Liy & K are up for it anyway.
