Shattered Magic

When a simple trip to the library ends in an epic disaster, Dr. Arienne Cerasola finds herself squarely in the crosshairs of Italian magical authorities and the United Coven & Alliance. Becoming Rome's most wanted wasn't on Ari's to-do list… but neither was uncovering a theft that could destabilize the entire magical world.Now on the run and questioning her worth as the acting head of the Crux Crucio Orbis, Ari is the only hope for those still trapped beneath the rubble. With Kai, her trickster-turned-human boyfriend, a magical menagerie, and a jinn warrior with secrets of her own, Ari must track down the missing librarian responsible and clear her name before the truth is buried for good.But the deeper she digs, the more tangled the magical politics become, and the more ancient the conspiracy appears to be. Someone is trying to rearrange the heavens, putting everything Ari loves at risk because folded libraries were never meant to be found, and unearthing one could tip the balance of power for good.Pushed to the edge by her rival, Raven, and forced to uncover ancient truths long buried by magical society, Ari must decide if she's ready to become the force the Crux Crucio Orbis needs-or lose everything trying.Shattered Magic is a witty, emotionally rich urban fantasy for readers who love ancient magic colliding with modern chaos, found family, mythological secrets, and smart heroines who wing it, even when it seems impossible.No part of this work may be used to train AI models or datasets. Unauthorized use for machine learning purposes is strictly prohibited. Books should be an escape-an invitation to enter another world, a place to meet unforgettable characters, and immersive enough to make you forget your daily life and enjoy the journey.I write stories that blend adventure, mythology, and a touch of flirty, clean romance-often with a dash of history shaping the worlds my characters navigate. Whether uncovering ancient magic, chasing long-lost artifacts or unraveling forgotten legends, my love of history and mythology always finds its way into my books.I also have a soft spot for mysteries with a supernatural flair. One of my series follows a psychic determined to fix bad karma-one crime at a time. And if you like epic battles of light versus dark, I've started work on my new series, exploring celestial intrigue, fate, and the fine line between good and evil.My writing journey started with an elderly dog who had no interest in summer gardening. To keep her company, I set up my laptop and wrote Elementary Magic, reading it aloud as she listened (and seemed to approve). Since taking the leap into publishing, I haven't stopped writing, constantly creating new worlds and characters for readers to discover.If you'd like to follow along with my latest projects and musings or sign up for my VIP list, please visit my author website.
