Ask and Your Wish Shall Be Granted
Frequently Asked Questions and Facts
1. When will I be able to read the next book in the Onyx Mist Series?
Revolt will be coming later this year. I’m so excited to share the next book with you! I’ll be sharing updates and announcements on my newsletter first, so be sure to sign up if you want early access to the deets. You can also keep an eye on my Instagram or Tiktok for sneak peeks.
2. What can we expect from Revolt?
The crown has fallen, the enchanter king is dead, and Mora finds herself at the center of a revolt. But what will rise from the ashes?
Get ready to hold Mora and Zadriel a little (ok, a lot) tighter in your hearts.
As I sat down to write the next book in the series, this moment from Wish demanded to be told now.
"While [Frederick] was studying his guests, too many of whom were as snobbish as Halvard, there’d be more to learn. Like the gory details of the infamous coup that ended the Royal Althenis family line. Her family.
Though it wouldn’t mention her involvement in that or Castellan's civil war that followed. Ending Dother was... cathartic. She regretted her mother’s fate more than anything."
What happened after Aedlin discovered her daughter looming over Dother's corpse? Who was Castellan to Mora?
And, perhaps most importantly, what made Mora decide to be the monster in everyone's story, and led Zadriel to believe that hope was a foolish dream?
These events are a driving force behind so many things to come.
I'm sure you already know to expect a DARK, tense, angsty story that will break your heart, but the swoon is there too. Including some Zadriel flashback POVs I am DYING to share with you (like their fiery meet cute from his perspective for instance ;)).
Oh, and the villain we all love to hate may be dead, but you'll never be rid of him... not truly.
3. Is the Onyx Mist Series told in first or third person?
Wish is written in third person with multiple POVs. You’ll spend most of your time with Mora, however. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
In Revolt you can expect a lot more Zadriel among all the Mora.
4. What inspired you to write Wish?
Wish was inspired by a dream. I often have incredibly vivid dreams that I love to share with my husband. But Wish’s dream was extra special. It stuck with me, so I wrote it down. And as I continued to think about it, I continued to write more and more. Until I realized that I was writing a book.
My dream took place around three quarters of the way through the story. When I truly began to write Wish I had to go back to the beginning and figure out how Mora found herself in the situation she was in when I met her in dreamland.
My husband and I had recently discussed Disney’s live action Aladdin, which may be why I had a “genie” inspired curse on my mind, as well as why Mora is loosely like Jasmine. If Jasmine had been cursed to grant wishes. But, otherwise, Wish is nothing like Aladdin. This is a dark fantasy romance and is intended for an adult audience.
Wish also has a small nod to Dragon Age, one of my favourite video game series.
5. Will there be spice?
Yes, you can expect some spice ;). In book 1, Wish, the best and longest spice scene doesn’t happen until late in the book, but I promise you it’s worth the wait <3.
6. How many books will there be in the series?
As a pantser, I can’t 100% promise that things won’t change. Mora is honestly the one in charge here… please don’t tell her I said that! But, at this time, my vision for The Onyx Mist Series is 4 Books with 1 Prequel Novella.
