They loved her.
They blamed her.
They burned her.
But she didn't die.
For three hundred years she slept in a waking dreamless slumber, healing and preparing her revenge. Humans have taken everything almost everything from her, but there is one thing they cannot take away. It is that which she knows to seek out when she awakens unexpectedly one night.
The Lady of Worlds is the story of an unlikely group of people who find themselves caught up in the machinations of a morally grey Celestial Maiden named Elyriel as she plots and schemes to find a way back to her home in the Celestial Realm through the last remaining Sacred Gate—no matter the cost.
By the Celestial Maiden’s side is an orphan woman named Jade. Elyriel chose Jade to be her companion while she reacclimatized to the Human Realm after awaking from a centuries-long healing slumber. It was meant to be a temporary arrangement, but they gradually discover that they need each other more than they initially thought. They are a mismatched pair, Human mortal and Celestial maiden, but they fit well together. Their ever-deepening bond influences every aspect of the novel.
Together with a great Shadowcat named Caliban—a cat-like creature made of shadows who has a great pair of feathered wings and curved horns—they will travel north to the capital where the last Sacred Gate is rumored to be. A mysterious man named Jasper san Courcel will join their party harboring secrets of his own. Along the way they will endure shipwrecks and betrayals and uncover truths better left hidden.
The Lady of Worlds features such tropes as found family, revenge-drive women, unrequited love, “you hurt her, you die,” magical creatures, and morally grey characters to name a choice few.
