And here’s a little teaser summary:
Six months have passed since Brooke Woods stumbled back into the real world from Uland, a parallel realm of ancient magic, monsters and Factions on the brink of war. There, she was more than a teenage girl. She was the Seer. One of the Uland Seven. A shining light in the darkness.
Now, she's just Brooke again. Until, that is, Uland starts calling her back.
Alongside her closest friends, Dale Reed and Charlie Flint, Brooke is drawn back into the secret world, and straight into trouble. Things are different now. The shadow of Doomgaard is growing. The fragile alliances between Uland's divided Factions are crumbling. Their Woodsgirl friend, Willow, has been taken prisoner. And Orchidema-the much-revered Empress of Nymm-is dying.
Their mission quickly becomes clear: cross treacherous lands, avoid ravenous monsters, and face enemies old and new to first save Willow, and then the Empress. The fate of Uland rests in their hands once again. And this time, their evil nemesis Decymero won't underestimate them.
A gripping tale of loyalty, courage, and destiny, Empress of Nymm is the second installment in The Book of Uland series, perfect for fans of all ages who love immersive fantasy worlds, sprawling character arcs, and high-stakes adventure.
Not sure if Uland is for you?

📖 New horror novel [still] in progress
I'm almost finished writing another horror novel. It should’ve been finished a couple of months ago, but life stubbornly refused to get out of the way. I’ll drop a little update here when the first draft is complete.
🎅 Second horror novel launching in December
My next horror novel is coming this December - it’s a mix of slasher and sci-fi, and it’s not for the faint of heart. The cover’s done and I hope to reveal the title very soon. Keep an eye out!
📘 What I’m reading
I’m still making my way through Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey (I know, I know, I’m unbelievably slow) and still enjoying it! If you’re a fan of the TV show The Expanse, or sci-fi in general, you’ll like it too.
What are you reading and watching right now? Let me know in the comments.
Appreciate you being here!
Talk soon,
David
PS. If you have any questions about my fiction work, don’t be afraid to ask!
Can't wait!
