The Final Hope (Book Three in the Golden Fleck Series):
Although Annie is gaining more control over her magic, her heart is terribly heavy. She is riddled with guilt, self-loathing, and melancholy. She has deservedly lost everyone she has grown to love.
She is all alone — again.
In newly forged relationships with a young pup and a sightless bird, Annie finds a glimmer of hope. She works tirelessly to put right all her wrongs. With great power comes great sacrifice, and Annie will have to face her personal demons and make difficult choices as she fights for the future of the realms.
But be warned, with triumph comes tragedy, and Annie's heart will be tested as she fights for what she believes in.
Annie plays a vital part in the final battle — the victors will determine the lasting fate of the Sun Elven, Woodland, Shoreland, and Human Realms.
The Golden Fleck Series is a romantic, epic, fantasy adventure about choices and consequences, spanning fantasy realms and centuries in human history. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah A. Parker, and the like.
The fate of the elven and human realms rests in the hands of one young woman, Annie.
If you like a strong female lead, with a sense of humour, a shed load of personal demons, and previously untapped powers, you will enjoy getting to know Annie.
Portals, elven realms, sea voyages, elven realm beasts, combat, triumph, tragedy, and magic abound.
If you love immersing yourself in a story that constantly weaves threads of bravery, magic, romance, fear, loathing, hate, loyalty, deceit, friendship, sacrifice, betrayal, heartache, and hope, then you’ll love the Golden Fleck Series.
Hil (author of The Golden Fleck Series) is a Lancashire Lass with a most dubious claim to fame-she almost killed Stephen Hawking while furiously pedalling to a university lecture she was woefully late for. Born in Preston, in the land of Wallace and Gromit, Hil's love for her northern roots often surprises and amuses her husband.Originally a teacher by trade, Hil spent years creating impromptu stories for her students and sketching cartoons of her cheeky spaniels, all while weaving tales of adventure. It was during a long recovery from a herniated disc that the Golden Fleck series unexpectedly took root. Frustratingly confined to rest, Hil took her mind on daily virtual runs with her spaniels through the nearby woodland-and in that tranquil space, she imagined portals, a key element in her stories.Her curiosity about a young homeless girl named Annie, and what made her choose that life, led to the development of Annie's character, who would become the heart of The Golden Fleck Series.When she's not writing, you can find Hil practicing yoga, reading, attempting classical guitar, or dancing around to her favourite songs with no one watching. She's a believer in the power of stories, the joy of running her dogs (no longer virtually!), and the importance of always staying curious.
