The Illusionist's Web (Rosalind Blake Series, #1)

In "The Illusionist's Web," detective Rosalind Blake finds herself entangled in a global web of illusions, deception, and control orchestrated by a shadowy organization known as the Arcanum. When a close friend, Elena, goes missing under mysterious circumstances, Rosalind embarks on a relentless investigation that uncovers secrets buried deep within the underbelly of the illusionist world.
As Rosalind peels back layers of manipulation, she discovers that Elena was not just a victim, but an integral part of the Arcanum's inner workings, once helping them consolidate power. Betrayed and hunted for knowing too much, Elena's knowledge of the Arcanum's dark secrets puts both women in mortal danger. With the help of her ally, detective Sophia, Rosalind confronts the Arcanum's leaders, including Elena herself, in a battle over a powerful artifact known as the Eye of Truth.

As an avid reader, I've always been drawn to the world of crime thrillers, where suspense, intrigue, and psychological twists keep me turning the pages long into the night. My love for this genre, combined with my experiences as an international traveller, has deeply influenced my writing. Originally from the U.K, and having lived in several different countries, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures, each with its own unique backdrop and complexities. These experiences have inspired me to create a story that reflects the dark, intricate layers of human nature while weaving in the richness of different places and perspectives. I now base myself in Australia.
