Illuminator

A Gods of Tintar Standalone

Helena Tefraine was abducted from her homeland alongside her teenage daughter, her two closest friends, and other women who were in the wrong chapel at the wrong time.

She finds herself in Tintar, the only known country in her world where magic exists. Forced into service as a muralist for a foreign king and bound by an arranged betrothal she did not choose, Helena must also unearth buried parts of herself as she perseveres. Her new role does not just challenge her—it awakens her. As she adapts her old life's skills as an illuminator to paint an enemy's throne room, she begins to recover the divine spark within her that refused to be extinguished.

A poetic return to the friendship, magic, and romance of Priestess, Illuminator is a companion novel written as a love letter to listeners. This is not only a story of survival—it is a story of the soul.

I love this book series so much I’m always overcome with so much emotion when I read or listen to it

Exquisite

This is a wonderful story. I loved the first book and to hear the story from another point of view was perfection. Beautifully written and read.

great companion to Priestess

Wonderful detail, point of view and inspiring story. Single parent struggles realistic, wish there had been a little more about her spiritual development as well.
