First Flame
Keepers of the Veil – Book One: First Flame
By Krista M Lawton
An ancient prophecy. A forgotten bloodline. A kingdom consumed by fear. And a young girl whose destiny could change the fate of every realm.
For centuries, dragons have been nothing more than legends, their magnificent power lost to time and their ancient bloodlines believed extinct.
But legends have a way of awakening.
When a mysterious infant appears in a burst of magical light deep within a forest, a grieving hunter named Adam takes her into his care. Naming her Lyra, he raises her as his own, never fully understanding the extraordinary circumstances that brought her into his life.
For sixteen years, Lyra grows up surrounded by love, friendship and the familiar comforts of village life, unaware that her very existence is tied to an ancient prophecy that has haunted kingdoms for generations.
But beyond the safety of her home lies another world.
A world of powerful Fae, forgotten magic, ancient dragons and a mysterious barrier known as the Veil, which has kept realms divided for centuries.
And within the dark fortress of Veyrath, dangerous forces are stirring.
As secrets from Lyra's past begin to surface, she discovers that the strange mark upon her wrist and the magnificent crystal she has carried since infancy hold the keys to a heritage far greater than she could ever have imagined.
With the protection of those who love her, the guidance of an extraordinary Fae guardian, and the growing awareness that someone has been searching for her, Lyra must begin to uncover the truth about who she really is.
But the prophecy has already been set in motion.
As the Veil weakens and ancient powers stir, the fate of entire realms hangs in the balance. Loyalties will be tested, sacrifices will be made, and the line between love and fear will become dangerously blurred.
For the power sleeping within Lyra is unlike anything the world has known for centuries.
And there are those who would destroy everything to possess it.
First Flame, the breathtaking opening instalment of the Keepers of the Veil fantasy series, is a sweeping adventure of dragons, Fae, magic, prophecy, family, friendship, betrayal and sacrifice.
At its heart lies a story about discovering where you truly belong, the lengths we go to protect those we love, and the extraordinary courage it takes to face a destiny we never chose.
The Flame Awaits. The Prophecy Begins.
When the Veil fractures and the First Flame awakens, the lost blood shall rise once more.
Enter the world of Keepers of the Veil, where ancient magic is stirring, dragons are more than legends, and the fate of every realm rests upon the awakening of the First Flame. Available NOW on Amazon in paperback and Kindle
Compass 3 Books, 1 Life Changing Journey
Compass – Three Books, One Journey
Wayward | Compass | True North
By Krista M Lawton
Sometimes you have to lose your way completely before you can discover where you truly belong.
How much can one woman endure before the weight of her world becomes too much to carry?
For Lara Taylor, life wasn't supposed to turn out this way.
She had a family she adored, a home she had worked hard for, and dreams of a future filled with happiness. But behind closed doors, her marriage had become a nightmare of fear, manipulation, violence and broken promises.
Trapped in a relationship that slowly strips away her confidence, independence and sense of self, Lara finds herself fighting battles no one around her fully understands.
And when the darkness becomes almost unbearable, she begins to question whether she has the strength to keep going.
But sometimes hope arrives in the most unexpected ways.
Through the unwavering friendship of Cody, the unconditional love of her family, and the quiet companionship of horses that understand pain without needing words, Lara slowly begins the difficult journey towards reclaiming her life.
And then there's Compass.
A troubled horse with a past of his own, whose arrival will change more than either of them could ever imagine.
What begins as a fight for survival gradually becomes a journey of healing, forgiveness, rediscovery and learning to trust again.
Across three deeply emotional books, readers follow Lara through devastating heartbreak, personal struggles, unexpected happiness, new beginnings and the extraordinary moments that make life worth living.
Because surviving is only the beginning.
Learning how to live again is another journey entirely.
The Compass Trilogy is a powerful contemporary fiction series exploring domestic violence, mental health, family, friendship, love, loss and the incredible resilience of the human spirit.
Written with raw honesty, emotional depth and moments of humour, it is a story about finding strength when you have none left, discovering love when you least expect it, and understanding that even the most difficult roads can lead somewhere beautiful.
Three Books. One Journey.
Book One – Wayward
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to come out on top.
A woman's desperate fight to escape the darkness, reclaim her independence and find the courage to begin again.
Book Two – Compass
Sometimes the ones we rescue end up rescuing us.
As Lara struggles to rebuild her life, an extraordinary bond with a troubled horse helps her rediscover hope, purpose and the possibility of happiness.
Book Three – True North
Finding your way home is only the beginning.
As the years unfold, Lara discovers that life can bring both extraordinary joy and unimaginable heartache. Through love, family and the passing seasons, she learns what it truly means to live, love and cherish every moment.
Compass – Three Books, One Journey is more than a story about surviving adversity.
It's about the courage to start over, the people who stand beside us when we struggle to stand alone, and the beautiful, imperfect journey of finding our way home.
Because no matter how far you've wandered, there's always hope of finding your True North.

By Krista M Lawton
An ancient prophecy. A forgotten sanctuary. A young girl destined to awaken a magic the world believed was lost forever.
When Alexa Diviner begins experiencing terrifying visions of an old man's death, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever.
Sent unexpectedly to the mysterious Academy of Arcane Arts, Alexa discovers a world where magic is real, extraordinary abilities are part of everyday life, and nothing is quite as it seems.
But while the other students learn to master their magical gifts, Alexa struggles to understand her own. That is, until an encounter with an ancient Oracle leads her to a remarkable little blue leafy dragon named Gillie, a creature believed to have vanished centuries ago.
Their extraordinary bond marks the beginning of a journey neither could have imagined.
As Alexa's powers begin to awaken, she uncovers secrets buried for more than three hundred years, a sanctuary lost to time, and the devastating history of two former friends whose choices changed the magical world forever.

Soren, a powerful and dangerous figure from the past, has sensed the return of Oracle magic. And he is determined to discover who possesses it.
With new friendships, mysterious visions, ancient creatures and a destiny she never asked for, Alexa must learn that possessing extraordinary power comes with extraordinary responsibility.
