Marilia, The Warlord
Chrysathamere Trilogy Book 1
Born
the bastard daughter of a painted lady, Marilia was told she would live out her
days within the walls of her mother’s brothel, a companion for the rich men of
Tyrace. But after a terrible betrayal, Marilia’s world turns upside down. With
the help of her twin brother, Annuweth, she flees the only home she’s ever
known in search of the one man who can offer her a chance at a better life: one
of her deceased father’s friends, the Emperor of Navessea’s greatest general.
What follows is a journey spanning years, from the streets of the desert city of Tyracium to the splendor of the emperor’s keep and the wind-swept, wild island of Svartennos. Along the way, Marilia discovers, for the first time, the gift she has for strategy and warfare—a world that is forbidden to girls like her.
When the empire is threatened by a foreign invasion, the defense of Navessea is left in the hands of a cruel and arrogant general no match for the empire's foes. With the fate of her new home and her family hanging in the balance, Marilia swears to use all her courage and cunning to help repel the enemy...if she can convince anyone to follow her.
The struggle that follows will test her to her core and lead her back to the past she thought she had escaped. Facing treachery within her own ranks as well as a devious enemy commander, Marilia will need all the help she can get, even if it means doing something her brother may never forgive—making a pact with the man who murdered her father.
Inspired by The Song of Achilles and Ender’s Game, Marilia, the Warlord is a blend of the epic and the personal, a story of war, romance, envy, the rivalry between brother and sister, and a young woman’s fight to find her place in the world.

After being bombarded with one too many school
motivational posters, I decided to “shoot for the moon” by pursuing a risky
double-major in creative writing and history on the assumption that the
worst-case scenario would be landing among the stars. I instead landed in
long-term unemployment—and unpaid internships, let’s not forget the unpaid
internships—in small-town Ohio. Eventually, after several re-writes and two
unhappy years, my first novel (not counting a couple of incredibly pretentious
high fantasy books from my high school and college years that have all
hopefully been hunted down and burned) was picked up by a literary agent—and
then put back down when it was determined it was not marketable to a young
adult audience.
Eventually, I began making more financially sound life choices and now work as an attorney in the public sector while continuing to write on the side.
