A Journey Unveiled (Daughter of Venus Trilogy)

A portal. A prophecy. A magical journey begins. Eighteen-year-old Lexi Guinel is a regular Canadian university student who grew up on tales of fantasy and magic. As a lover of all things geek, she should be excited to find herself in a parallel world, encountering elves and other mythical creatures. If only a tragic accident hadn’t brought her to Ayandoh. If only she wasn’t trapped there for eight years. Likewise, discovering her own powers should have been thrilling, except magic is forbidden in the kingdom of Gowerland. Punishable by death. As much as Lexi would prefer to keep a low profile until she can return home, doing so isn’t an option. She didn’t arrive in Gowerland by chance, and she has no idea how valuable she is. A prophecy foretold her arrival and her pivotal role in saving the kingdom from the tyrannical king and his allies, the dark elves. Burdened by the hopes and expectations of an oppressed people, she must learn to master her powers while under the constant threat of discovery. That danger only increases when her fate becomes entangled with that of the bigoted and ill-tempered Prince Aeric, who obeys his father’s every cruel command. Surrounded by secrets and betrayal in a dark and perilous world, can Lexi remain hidden long enough to confront her destiny? Or will King Ulric find her first? Step through a crack, you can’t go back. The tale of a modern girl in a magical otherworld, the Daughter of Venus trilogy features such tropes as found family, animal companions, slow burn, and forced proximity. Diversity is an important feature of the trilogy, including a biracial protagonist, BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ representation, and characters with disabilities. Note that much of A Journey Unveiled is set in a small town with a limited cast of characters. Representation increases as the world expands in book two, An Enemy Defined. “Magic, elements, portals, and prophecies, what’s not to love?…With a combination of science, astrology, magic, war, monarchy, and a prophecy, this was as epic as one would think.” - Gumiho Reviews "It's part slice of life, part epic fantasy...Lexi’s life in the sleepy Jalnarrah takes an abrupt turn as a tragic fate befalls the town. From this point on, I felt spoiled by the story. This second part of the book just does not let up, going from exciting development to exciting development...The ending is fantastic..." - Jon Herrera, author “An epic fantasy novel where the modern world and a magical realm collide in the best possible way!” - Jennie Griffin, The Redhead Notes
