Author Description

A reluctant heir. An insidious power. What is privilege when his own magic threatens to take him under? Meran Durante is distraught. An unwilling heir to a bitter and critical father, the young Durante now fears he is also the beneficiary of the oft anticipated, seldom true, seer-sight that has flickered through his mother’s family for centuries. Nightly, a single tragic spectre fills his dreams, driving him to the edge of sanity, until one fateful night his plight is discovered. Acceding to his friend’s unconventional distraction from his woes, Meran finds fleeting relief sheltered within the unique magic forged from the unexpected liaison. But realising his own agency is in peril, he searches out an alternative solution to fend off the dreamland’s insidious call before his mind is shattered forever. When his friend goes missing, can Meran wrest control of his magic before it is too late to save either of them? Meran’s Reproach is the tempestuous second book in the Legend of the Ancients – Books of Locurnia Fantasy series. If you like emotionally charged fantasy, tortured heroes and magical awakenings mixed with high heat, then you’ll love Deonne Dane’s tale of one young man coming into his legacy.
