Cover Reveal!
Hi, everyone! I'm Nicki Chapelway, I'm a twenty-something fantasy indie author. I write YA, NA, and adult books; however, all of my works can be considered clean. I create stories about twisty-stabby faeries, morally gray anti-heroes, large casts of misfits, and found families. I love writing dark retellings of fairytales, stories full of monsters, and different takes on mythologies. My books always have a touch of humor, a hint of romance, and a dash of magic.
I'm a self-taught struggling artist. Mostly I draw my OCs, but occasionally I can be seen drawing anything from my fandoms.
For a quick trip down memory lane, here is book one:
Alicia Hareton is crazy. But that's nothing new. Her insanity is
inherited from her mother, just like her magical abilities and her blood
ties to the strange and alluring world of Amar. She's spent her life on
Earth, and yet Amar has always called to her - an intoxicating melody
that she cannot ignore. Returning to Amar would put her life in danger,
but Alicia has never let such technicalities stop her before.
However,
when her mother is captured due to her reckless actions, Alicia will do
anything to rescue her. That includes trusting her grumpy, sarcastic
imaginary friend, who claims he doesn't know her and doesn't seem that
imaginary anymore. Or that trustworthy. Together, with the help of her
cousin and a band of misfits, they partake in an extremely ill-advised
heist on the faerie court in order to find a way to defeat the most
powerful mage in all Amar, who also happens to be Alicia's grandfather.
But not everything in the faerie court is as it seems, and soon this
unlikely group find themselves fighting for their lives as well as the
lives of those they love.
In a world of madness and magic, the
lines between lies and loyalty are blurred and sometimes the only option
you have left is to let the insanity loose.
Get it in kindle, paperback, and hardback
And now brace yourself for the gorgeous second book cover . . .
My story ended with the word, “Run.”
One tiny, little, three letter word, and it all came to a crashing final halt.
This is getting weirder and weirder. Or how was it in that book that Alicia liked? Curioser and Curioser? That seems to sum it up pretty well.
Sometimes I like to imagine six impossible things and make them real.
Impossible thing one: I freed Dante
Impossible thing two: I will defeat Marius
Impossible thing three: I will prove to Dante that he loves me
Impossible thing four: I will prove to Olivia that she loves Eugene
Impossible thing five: I will find a way to help my mother
Impossible thing six: I can do all of these things at no personal cost to myself
Marius is fighting to break free from his prison, and reality is tearing at the seams to try to hold him in. The only way to save the four realms is for Alicia to find a way to stop her grandfather once and for all. But how does one defeat an immortal? Alicia offers him a bargain. Play a game against her, winner takes all. The stakes are her future, her mother’s life, and the freedom of the boy she loved—and still possibly might. Only the most powerful mage in all Amar will walk away. But in order to win, Alicia must become like her grandfather and be willing to use her friends as pawns. People have betrayed her, but that’s just an occupational hazard, right? What goes around comes around doesn’t it? Anything is fair game when the fate of everything is involved.
In this twisted world trust, safety, and sanity are all just an illusion. And sometimes reality doesn’t deserve to be saved.
Whose bright idea was it to put me on the throne anyway?
We all know that I’m just going to make a bloody mess of things.
If my courtiers could know how I cry every night from loneliness, they would not fear me at all.
Or perhaps they should fear me more. Because maybe there is nothing more frightening than a lonely, unpredictable queen who doesn’t know how to rule.
