“From the cunning, headstrong heroine to the exquisite world-building, I was completely immersed in this story from the first chapter. Evocative, sexy, and captivating, Florescentia will open up a world you’ll never want to close.”
— A.K. Mulford, Bestselling author of Dreamslayer”
“A powerful cosmic romance”
— People Magazine
Scheduled for release on September 29, 2026. FLORESCENTIA, first book in THE LUMINARY DUOLOGY, is a steampunk gothic fantasy about a world where the stars and universe are divine, and an inventor has found a way to harvest luck, until she mistakenly invites a malicious cosmic horror from the other side. Featuring victorian steampunk sensibilities, lovecraftian dread, and monsters lurking within the unknown.
An inventor’s rituals brought fortune—until a shadow from the Otherside claimed her as his.
In the bioluminescent, star-worshipping city of Astraea, inventor and occultist Lucia Fairfax harvests a particular currency from the shadows—luck itself—drawn from a dimension she calls the Otherside. But when her latest ritual fails and her husband dies tragically, her carefully cultivated fortune bleeds dry.
Lucia’s desperate to restore her power, but her next ritual goes catastrophically wrong, summoning something far more dangerous: Altair, a cosmic entity born of an ancient constellation. He is both human and not—impossibly seductive, unnervingly sentient, and the key to restoring what she’s lost: a way to the Otherside.
Crossing into Altair’s realm is the most dangerous thing Lucia has ever done—and the most irresistible. There, she unravels the intoxicating secrets of the Otherside, the disturbing truth about her abilities, and the terrifying depth of his hunger. But with each revelation, escape slips further from reach. Trapped between worlds, Lucia must confront a devastating reality: Love, desire, and ambition all have their price. And Altair is eager to collect.
