Blurb/Synopsis:
A girl with a past she tries to forget, and a future she
can’t even imagine.
Leonie Woodville wants to live an unremarkable life. She
wants routine, she wants repetition, she wants predictability. So when she
explodes in a blaze of light one morning on the way to her college, it’s enough
to put a real crimp in her day.
And things only get weirder…
Leonie learns from her father that she is last of the
Pulsar, a phenomenally powerful member of a magical species called the Chosen.
It will be her sole duty to protect the Imperium, a governing hierarchy, from
all enemies, and to exceed the reputation of the Pulsar before her. So – no
pressure there, then.
Leonie is swept away from her rigorous normality and taken
to a world of magic. There, she is forced into a ceremony to join her soul to a
guardian, Korren, who is both incredibly handsome and intensely troubled, a
relationship for which ‘it’s complicated’ just really doesn’t cut it.
But Leonie is soon to learn that this ancient world is no
paradise. With violent dissidents intent to overthrow the Imperium, and dark
entities with their own agenda, she and Korren find themselves caught in a war
where they will have to overcome their differences if they are to survive.
Giselle Simlett was born and raised in England. She has studied Creative Writing at both Gloucestershire University and the Open University. She has a diploma in Creative Writing, Language and Literature and will soon complete her BA Hons Open Degree.

Excerpt
LEONIE
Maybe crying is all I’m good at, maybe being a pawn for
others to use is all I’m meant for, but I want to do more than sit here and be
prey. I don’t want to ever have to watch the people I love die. I don’t want to
ever sit helpless and grovelling. Not again—ever. I’ll become strong. Strong
enough to stand up against the people who seek to make me crawl. Strong enough
to be the Pulsar I was born to be. Strong enough to be the girl of myth and
legend.
She does not as yet have a degree in the power and responsible use of magic, but she does have a young son, which amounts to the same thing. She currently lives in Australia with her husband and son.
