traitors’ creed
Book 1 in the traitors duology
Truth makes traitors out of even the most dutiful.
Zanteera Island has a secret: it has two prisons. Vana, the one the world knows and fears, and an unnamed compound lined with comforts.
Serving her National Duty at Vana’s secret counterpart, Luka Brideoake doesn’t question the unorthodox disciplinary system, or the VIP status of the criminals. But when the Warden offers her a prestigious new assignment in Parliament, she starts to see the prison and its inmates in an uncomfortable new light.
Then, her childhood best friend and his brother show up sentenced to Vana, and Luka is forced to go against every rule she’s upheld to seek a dangerous new ally. All the while, the Warden’s cryptic advice suggests a political web far bigger than Luka could have imagined.
As inmates start to die and the authorities move in, her path intersects with a man as enigmatic as he is powerful. But how much of the life Luka thought she wanted is she prepared to trade…for the truth?
*This book is intended for adult audiences and contains mature themes and relationships. There is a threat of, and attempted, sexual assault of a side character and discussion of sex trafficking and child abuse. This book ends on a cliff hanger.

Book 2 in the traitors duology
Even the greatest escapes don’t guarantee freedom.
With the gilded facade of Zanteera Island’s prison smouldering in her wake, Luka Brideoake prepares to make her status as a traitor official. But nothing could have readied her for a summons to a second National Duty.
This time, in the heart of Nuntainia’s poisonous corruption: Parliament House.
Tasked by Quillian with finding the evidence needed to expose the political tyranny, and armed with an invitation printed with government ink, Luka has no option but to report for duty. Alone.
But as the net of her government’s lies closes in, Luka risks returning to the island and the prison she didn’t burn—Vana. This time, behind bars. With neither time nor magic on her side, Luka will discover just how much she can endure to reveal a truth that will unseat the highest powers.
*This book is intended for adult audiences and contains mature themes and relationships.

Escaping to imaginary worlds is just about my favourite thing to do. Whether I’m creating my own, or reading others, if there is a strong romance, I’m all in!
