My dark fantasy duology has been completed for 3 weeks now! 🥀🪷💫 Wishing to read about heartbreak and torture (metaphorical and literal) on these lovely autumn days? Get on the anguish ride with Imbued & Untwined! 💙📚 🪐📚🌈📚 Pain, revenge, absolution. This isn't just a story. It's a confession.

A graphic with lush green ferns in the background. The covers of Imbued and Untwined by Helyna L. Clove are at the bottom.

"For more than a decade working as a servant for one of the most influential families of war-torn, magic-ravaged Kamphua, Calla has had no memories of her childhood save for hazy nightmares and the fears the forbidden power stirring inside her whispered to her. But when her abilities are revealed to the enigmatic magehunter family heir and a desperate mage uprising shakes the foundations of her home, finding out what happened to her in those forgotten years might be her only chance to survive.

But the knowledge will break her.
It could break the world."

Now a completed dark fantasy duology!

It has been a whole month since The Chosen One Con came out. It's sitting at 21 ratings at 4.6 stars on Goodreads and 10 ratings at 4.7 on Amazon! 💙 A big THANK YOU to everyone that has read and reviewed so far! It's available online and in paperback. books2read.com/thechosenone...

A promo image for The Chosen One Con, out now on Kindle, Kobo, and Itch. It shows the book cover to the Chosen One Con (a young white man in a trench coat holding a glowing blue potion bottle as though trying to steal it) and the following text: Magic spoke to me, whispering promises of fortune and fame. It spoke when I switched on the old MV and the screen came alive with the blue glow of magic, the faint spark and pop of aether flowing through the cables.

bro, stop analysing my webpage Michael IF THAT IS EVEN YOUR NAME how dare you shine a light on my shortcomings do you really think that's gonna endear you to me do you shut uuup (they offer a 30min free call I wish I had enough whimsy to just go there and be Deeply Weird to their faces lol)

A spam email

"Congratulations on Untwined and on finishing the Imbued duology. Closing out a dark fantasy series is a real milestone. I had a look at your website and noticed a few things:

1. The Books page still lists Untwined under "Work in progress" with "Blurb to come...", so readers arriving now would assume it isn't out yet.

2. Your Links page has buy links for Imbued, Skylark and Through a Window Darkly, but none for Untwined, so the newest book has no route to buy.

3. The About page still says "Her current projects include Imbued and Untwined". Saying the duology is complete gives new readers a clear reason to start at book 1.

If it helps, we'll also do a free audit of the Amazon page for Untwined (cover, blurb, keywords, categories and A+ Content) and send you 3 specific fixes. Just reply "yes"."
