Book Overview

Book 1 of 3: The Legend of Syn

When a merchant ship secretly defies the goddess of Creation by charting a course for the forbidden land of Atlas, it results in a shipwreck that washes Emmie ashore, alone. She expects to die at the hand of god-King Ashay, the god of Change, but her crystalline eyes, gifts from his sister, the goddess of Creation, stay his hand.

Reeling from the shipwreck that stole her father, Emmie's grief and trauma clash with Ashay's ruthless reign. But as they spar over philosophy and power, she slowly chips away at his icy heart, discovering the humanity within.

In this lore-rich romantic fantasy series, discover how one defiant heart reshapes the god of Change himself.

About the Author

Follow the author

Well hello there! I’m Katie Gaskin.

I’m a thirty-somethin’ girl that lives in the woods as a self-proclaimed hermit. I am also an established voice actress, and chicken-raising, garden-growing, home-cooking enthusiast. Videogames and webtoons fill in the gaps of my neurodivergent brain.

More than anything, I am an author with ambitious dreams, who loves to write about people and gods with big emotions, and the ability to destroy the world with those emotions. Don’t be like those guys. Use your big emotions to save the world, people!

In more seriousness: the truest push-pull of “human hearts in motion” is what drives my writing. When two hearts collide, the resulting impact on the world and those around—for better or worse—is a tremendously powerful concept to me, and one I hope to explore in great depth in the world of which I write.

But seriously, guys, use your emotions for good!
