Allastassia: Talented, beautiful, powerful.
But is it enough?
Life is complex; people love, people disagree, people change.
And sometimes people do things
they deeply regret...
'I just finished it and I already want to re-read it! It's definitely one of the most exciting books I've ever read! Ivy,7
'A powerfully moving addition to an already beautiful and philosophical series.'Emily, 2018, age 20
It isn't easy being the highly talented daughter of the most powerful enchantress in all the land; there are a lot of ... expectations. Then, one day Allastassia wakes up to find out that everything is changing; her life, her body, the beliefs with which she has structured her whole entire world.
What is she becoming, and what does that mean in a world filled with expectations? Will those who loved her for what she once was still love her for what she must become? The Chrysalis is a dangerous time for a young enchantress, more especially for one as powerful as Allastassia. Sages tell they must be nourished with kind words and gentle herbs, or they may release an entire lifetime of magic in a single, devastating and destructive act - the shattering of the Chrysalis. Who will Allastassia turn to in a time of such dangerous change?
When soft the caterpillar,
Spins her cocoon,
Patience waiting not amiss.
Soon the butterfly,
Will emerge,
From this sacred chrysalis.
