Of Light and Shadow by Danielle Polselli
A slow-burn romantasy about healing, chosen family, and a love built on trust and the quiet moments in between the quest to save the world.
The Book
Aery Vane has learned not to expect too much from the world.
A white-haired servant haunted by nightmares and visions she can't control, she has spent years making herself small, useful, and easy to overlook. That all changes the night she is forced to flee for her life and finds herself at the center of a thousand-year-old prophecy to save the world from a waking ancient evil.
But she isn't destined to do it alone. Her visions will lead her to five other chosen heroes, the first being a man whose voice she has been hearing in dreams her whole life.
Meet Danielle
I’m a 39-year-old slightly awkward mom of two girls and two cats, a wife, and a corporate graphic designer. After many years of grinding and taking care of everyone but myself, I was tired. And I forgot who I was. At my core, I’ve always been a storyteller and a dreamer. I was the nerdy kid who filled notebooks with awful Lord of the Rings fanfiction and hid it under my bed (my poor mom read it and somehow still encouraged me to write.) I had more fictional boyfriends growing up than real ones. I loved stories and art with a passion. Getting back into reading and writing has reignited my soul and given me an escape I desperately needed. Connecting with others who share my love of stories and creating—that is what all of this is about. I don’t write to make money or try to be famous (it’s hilarious that people actually think that)—I write to feel something, and hopefully, make a few other people feel something too.
I just released my first book, Of Light and Shadow, this past September! It still feels surreal to say that. I spent the last 15 years working on this story on and off, but it never left me. This past year I had some health scares that made me realize I had to do this or it would be the biggest regret of my life. So here I am, one crazy year of writing and learning everything I could about indie publishing later.
