They told her she was ordinary. They lied. 


Hidden deep in the forests of Maine, Selena Bell has spent her life keeping to the edges—quiet, invisible, unremarkable. Or so she thought. 

But when three strangers arrive in her small town, everything changes. They don’t just bring answers. They bring a warning. Selena isn’t mortal. She is Semper. Power in human skin. A force the world should’ve destroyed before it ever drew breath.

Marked by magic older than the world itself, caught between the seductive chaos of the Fallen and the brutal order of the Blessed, Selena is thrown into a realm of vicious trials, monstrous enemies, and ancient courts that see her as a threat and a weapon to claim. 

And then there’s him. Charming, untamed, and infuriatingly irresistible. Her power is growing. Her enemies are circling. And every step forward pulls her deeper into a fate she never chose and may not be able to escape. 


Because the only thing more dangerous than what’s coming for her is what she’s becoming.

Stephanie Bosshard is a romantic fantasy author, drawn to tales where power has a price, and love is both fierce and complicated. 


With a background in acting, she brings depth and emotion to the characters she creates, particularly those who are battling fate, facing impossible choices, and discovering who they are in the process. 


When she’s not writing, you can find her on set or lost in a book that stirs her soul. The Trials of Browid is her debut novel.
