She is passionate about the environment and sustainable living. She owns a small business and is a blogger and YouTuber called Rosy JulieBC. She thoroughly enjoys the opportunity to make a difference. Two young women cross paths on the world of Qarradune. Megan Wynters is a Canadian without any idea as to how she arrived in this place, which feels more like fantasy than reality. Irys Godeleva was born on Qarradune and yet her sheltered life in Syliza has kept her from ever having seen it.As both women find themselves in the clutches of Kavylak's military and its strangely skilled elite team of Warriors, adventure becomes inevitable.When Megan and Irys meet these Warriors and as they learn more about the seemingly-idyllic Syliza and its heroic Knights of Freyss, it becomes clear that there is a great deal more to this world than either had ever expected.Follow them as they run and claw their way through the labyrinths of military rule and enslavement in Kavylak and the strict societal confines of upper-class Syliza, while attempting to survive…for the sake of themselves and each other.
