The Fleck Series

A Story of Magic & Misfits,
Watchers & Thinkers & Doers

The first novel in the Fleck series, Magic in the Shadows, is a spellbinding tale of self-discovery and courage. This ‘cozy fantasy’ approach to storytelling is whimsical yet intense, revealing the tug-of-war-of-wills between the characters, exposing acts of moral ambiguity and ill-conceived sacrifice in an immersive magical world of character-driven intrigue.

Young Adult Fantasy Novel for adult readers of all ages. Includes teen pregnancy and some sexually suggestive content.

Series Overview:

The Fleck Series is ideal for readers who enjoy immersive fantasy worlds rich in magical creatures, balancing light-hearted whimsy and serious undertones, with an introspective first-person character-driven narrative that explores themes of loyalty and sacrifice – particularly readers interested in identity, self-discovery and redemption.

Seventeen-year-old Fleck strives to detangle her life from the competing agendas of three fairy-elf sisters spell-bound by the Wizard Hectare who seeks dominion over magic through them. In her effort to protect those she loves from social and magical injustice, Fleck frees mystic creatures from captivity, gaining the unwelcome title of Mystic Queen.
