Sure. So the series is set in the fantasy world of Terra Illumina, which the inhabitants refer to as Fallenwood. I started writing this series when I was about 23 years old, and I’ve been writing it up ’til now, and I’m now 35. These books have kind of aged with me, which is fitting, because the story is about my main character Ash, growing up under difficult circumstances. She runs away from the real world, and finds her way to a portal in the woods, that takes her to this fantasy world, where she gets to live a portion of her life, twice. Along the way, this becomes a “hero’s journey” for Ash, as she finds out that a villain named Malegaunt is out to destroy her and her newfound friends. So it’s very much a coming-of-age story, and it’s about rising to the challenges of life, in general.
