More about book one,

The First Ethereal

Super empath Lilly knows she should be more upset about her imminent death. Two decades on the planet is barely a life at all, but with the world collapsing around them and only Jack, her spirit guide, for company, maybe it’s no bad thing.

Without her magic, Storm is a shadow of the woman she once was. Still grieving for the man she spent almost half her life with, she lives for her animals, friends, and community, feeding body and soul as the owner of Cordelia’s café and bookshop.

When Lilly and Storm meet by chance, both women realise that life can turn on a sixpence and sometimes family’s found in the friends you choose. As Lilly falls in love with life – and a handsome young man – Storm is dragged into a desperate race to find the only being capable of saving humanity. But others hunt the Ethereal – and with murderous intent.

As Storm prepares for the fight of her life, she must first confront the mystery of her lost magic. Are some secrets best kept hidden?

A Discovery of Witches meets The Celestine Prophecy, this fast-paced fantasy, the first book in the Ethereal World series, will have you rooting for characters so real you’ll want to invite them home for tea. Read it now.
