Young Adult Fantasy

Parallel worlds, an angel and a witches’ prophecy.

Alexander is the youngest leader of angels in the history of Ohinyan, a world parallel to Earth.

Ohinyan’s sun is dying, and its inhabitants are on the brink of war.

A witches’ prophecy convinces Alexander to retrieve seventeen-year-old Fia Aldridge from Earth, the one girl who could be the solution to their problems.

But when he finds Fia, her life has been turned upside down, and it goes against all he believes in to burden her with the fate of Ohinyan.

An entire world or one girl—he must decide, or many will suffer the consequences.

The Angel’s Calling is a prequel novelette to The Third Sun: Daughter of the Phoenix Book One. Perfect for fans of portal fantasy, witches, elemental magic and mythology.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I've always loved fairy tales, myths and legends. Growing up, Philip Pullman's series, His Dark Materials had such a lasting impact on me, but it wasn't until many, many years later that I sat down to write an entire book. Like His Dark Materials, my Daughter of the Phoenix series is also portal fantasy, but based on Earth and the parallel world of Ohinyan.

Gems of Fire by Diane E. Samson

Palace of Sunderland. Paradise to the peasants. Prison to sixteen-year-old Anna, daughter of the king. She can never escape the castle’s cold walls and scorning disapproval of her father and his brute royal counsel, Seamus. She’ll always live in the shadow of her late mother the queen. Will they ever see her for who she really is?
A riding accident lands Anna in the hands of traders who sell her as a slave in distant Kasdod to none-other than her father’s enemy, Lord Anwar. After overhearing a dangerous plot to conquer Sunderland and kill the royal family, Anna must escape and warn her father, even if it means facing her greatest enemy.
With the doom looming over her, Anna is approached by a dangerous-looking man in the dark. He claims to want to help her, but can she trust him with her secrets? The perils of the journey ahead will push Anna to the limit and answer the one question that has always plagued her. Will she ever be enough?
