A Portalis, their saviour or doom?
Thrust into a world beyond her wildest imagination, Aria Torvel’s simple life abruptly shatters after learning she is a Portalis. The only one of her kind and gifted with an ancient portal magic, she has become the unwitting bridge between the Three Realms.
But now the doorways are open and more importantly, exposed. Mages, elves and prowling demons have become part of her new reality and Aria has little choice but to traverse lands both beautiful and sinister in order to survive.
Accompanied by a plucky mage, a stuffy elven General and her harried grandfather in tow, Aria’s task is to seal these magical doorways before the infamous Lord of Shadows can hunt her down.
Friends will reveal their true forms, enemies will seek to break her, and witches will emerge whose appetite for human flesh is a haunting reminder of the wrongs of the mortal world. With an impending war looming on the horizon, Aria must embrace her newfound power and unravel its obscure secrets, or risk the encroaching darkness destroying all that she holds dear.
How far will she go to save her enemy?
Unnerved by Vylnor and their tenuous alliance, but unwilling to allow his execution after the callous immortal saved her life, Aria must infiltrate the Elavon Citadel and attempt to rescue the Lord of Shadows, her only company … the mischievous mage Monroe.
But with Ramos’s plans to conquer imminent and his Witch Queen now entering the fray, Aria and her companions must face down the tide of demon forces as they threaten the freedom of the Mortal Realm, while arrogant Lords and an unyielding Jaguar King posture from afar.
With past secrets unfolding and new acquaintances to seek, can Aria’s fleeting accord with the Lord of Shadows endure, once the soul stone corruption finally consumes him? Or can she harness the elusive threads of her power to defend the people she loves most, from a foe capable of enslaving worlds?
The Locksnight Rises is the second exciting instalment from The Portalis Runes fantasy trilogy that you won’t want to miss!

AUTHOR’S NOTE
This story began as a creative way to channel my anxiety. The more I wrote, the more it began to drift away, replaced by the thoughts and feelings of the characters on the page. I hope this book provides a temporary escape, even if it’s just to one reader, and inspires people to pursue what they love.
