Debut Novel
Katrina — a Maltese nurse who heals wounds with light — is forced to team up with an Egyptian prince who commands shadows. Without her help, his mother will die. Without his help, her sister will die. Will she learn to use her light to fight? Can he use his shadows to nurture?
Set across 16th-century Malta and Egypt, loyalty to family, country, and heart may cost Katrina everything.
Charlene is a debut author of fantasy and historical fiction based in London. She writes about worlds drawn from the wars and stories of the past, woven with magic you wish were real.
After a decade in data science and management, she returned to her passion for writing, exploring the topics closest to her heart: being a woman, being Maltese, and being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
When she is not writing, Charlene can be found with her nose in a book of any genre, camping and road tripping across Europe, or searching for the perfect cup of tea.
