The Rebellion Starts Here.Get your copy of the first 3 books in the Camilla Crim series and see how one girl, with enough stubborn defiance starts a rebellion to overthrow a reign so strong it takes two uprisings. "A compelling young adult fantasy series with Camilla Crim as the feisty female lead. It has magic and witches like you've never seen before." Book One: The Faintly Beating Heart Invasion threatens the home of 24-year-old, rebel member, Knox Duffy. Bitter, heartsick, and ravenous for blood, he has one thing on his mind: revenge. The new Supreme Ruler is determined to bring Knox’s village into submission but he’d rather shed blood than bend a knee. With neither side willing to yield, a fierce battle ignites. At dusk, when Knox returns to the battlefield, he discovers a danger far greater lurking in the woods. A caped woman appears wearing an unusual stone around her neck. She possesses inexplicable powers, which is only the start of her mysteries.She’s oddly familiar to Knox but who is she? Why is she doing the bidding of The Supreme Ruler? Destroying them won’t be as simple as Knox once thought, but like a good rebel, he’ll die trying…Book Two: The Sacrifice of One Camilla Crim runs her calloused fingers over the mutilated skin on the inside of her arm. This is where she’s been branded with the Warwick W – marking her as little better than a slave. It’s been twelve years since Quinten Warwick invaded her territory and turned its vast wooded land into a national, standardized farm big enough to feed the whole country. Now seventeen, Camilla’s days waste away on the farm, where discipline is enforced with whippings and beatings. Her reward? A pitiful payout of money rings, most of which goes to cover her father’s drinking habit. Camilla’s life is bleak, but it’s all she knows.When her only real family, her brother, Tuor, is arrested by Warwick Militia for a heinous crime she knows he didn’t commit, Camilla is shaken. She must discover the truth and free her brother. But as Tuor’s demise draws near, will Camilla find relief in learning the truth surrounding her brother’s crime? Or will she accept that one must be sacrificed for the good of many?Book Three: The Bear Gap Rebels Winter passes slowly as the rebels hide out deep in the woods. Karla is on the hunt for blood- Camilla’s blood. After all, Camilla’s just murdered her husband, the governor of Bear Gap. At least that’s what everyone thinks…Nothing is going according to plan. Starting up the rebellion isn’t what Camilla thought it would be like. Tension is thick between people who are supposed to be on her side. Trust is hard to earn and even harder to keep.On top of all of that, Camilla can’t shake the eerie voice in her head that tells her to return to the swamps, a trip that would risk the location of the rebels and put Camilla’s life in serious peril. But the voice is so strong and so convincing that it causes Camilla to question her own sanity. Lies roll off her tongue too easily. She guts a man without blinking and can’t think of anything else except what the voice is telling her.With time running out and Warwick at her back, Camilla must draft a winning plan that puts the rebels in control of Bear Gap. The alternative? Death or imprisonment for everyone she loves. Can Camilla ignore the pleading demands of the voice in her head and save the rebellion?
