I am SO excited to be appearing at Edge-Lit 2026! This is a full circle moment as I first attended Edge-Lit as a querying author at the very peak of my hopelessness of ever getting published. Now I’m returning many years later with two books published and a guest of honour. Truly so special!

⛴️ The Dragon’s Dawn ⛴️ Here’s the 2nd map featured in Voyage of the Damned! This ship is designed to cater to every whim of the 12 heirs on board for their 12 day voyage. It is also a bit of a labyrinth. Perfect for unleashing a devilish murder plot 👀 ✏️ Sally Taylor

Frances White @franceswrites.bsky.social · 20/11/2023

Bluesky! I have been appalling at updating please forgive me but I offer a MAP in apology. This was designed by Sally Taylor and shows all the 12 provinces of Concordia, the empire from Voyage of the Damned. I just love the level of detail in here! 😍 I can (and have) stare(d) at it all day.

Totally an author dream come true to be holding the proof copy of my debut novel, Voyage of the Damned! Aren’t they just gorgeous? That foil?? Hello?? Check the images to see the back cover description of the plot as well! 😍

Copy reads: 1000 years of peace, a 12 day voyage, 12 heirs on board all blessed with powers. But where there is magic there is murder and one unlikely hero must stop it all

Copy reads: A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this honorary feat, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess's Mountain.

Aboard are the heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

Except one: Ganymedes Piscero - class clown, slacker, and all-round disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people, odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

Guess I better do my 10th intro post across as many platforms, eh? Hi! I'm Frances White and i'm a writer! My debut novel Voyage of the Damned, a fantasy murder mystery at sea, is out next Jan! It's like if Agatha Christie wrote the Hunger Games but also everyone is gay. Available to preorder now!

A image of the book cover of 'Voyage of the Damned' against a gold background under the words 'Coming 18 January 2024'. The cover is a teal colour, and features a skeleton fish with a gold tail and fins. A ship shaped like a dragon is displayed in the gold of the tail. The words 'Voyage of the Damned' are printed across the fish with the tag line 'There will be magic. There will be murder.'
