Lady Alexin Dumwalt—Alex to those who know better—just got booted from her mortal-world job. Her response? Return to Eledon, reclaim her title as Keeper of the Keys, and dive headfirst into a mission that reeks of politics and secrets. Her task: escort Lord Quasar of the Star Elves to Nimbus. Her reality: arrested at Moonbase, locked up by a power-hungry Lord Governor, and caught in a prison break that exposes a gold-smuggling operation buried beneath the surface.
The gold? Stolen from Eledon. The ship? Not what
it seems. The Fire Elves? Gone—taken by someone who wasn’t supposed to be
watching.
Now Alex is under
guard, headed to Nimbus, and neck-deep in a conspiracy that could shatter the
fragile balance between Elf factions. She’s got questions, she’s got enemies,
and she’s got zero patience for anyone standing in her way.
Magic. Betrayal. One Elf with nothing left to lose.
Joni Parker’s story reads like a cross-continental
odyssey with grit at every turn. Born in the heart of
Chicago, she was just eight when her family uprooted to Japan so her father
could chase a dream most wouldn’t dare—becoming a professional golfer. He made
it. And when the dust settled, they landed in Phoenix, Arizona, where Joni
carved her own path. After high school, she didn’t just serve—she committed.
Twenty-two years in the U.S. Navy, followed by seven more in federal civil
service, Joni built a career on discipline, resilience, and a no-nonsense drive
to get things done. Now retired in Tucson, Arizona, she’s traded uniforms for
imagination, channelling her fire into writing, devouring books, and catching
the sunrise like it’s a daily ritual of renewal. Her stories reflect the same
edge she’s lived with—bold, unflinching, and full of heart.
Her most recent book is the science fantasy, The House of Gold (Book 4 in the
Golden Harvest Series).
