[ ✨ IMBUED by Helyna L. Clove is out today ✨]

The first in a new dark fantasy duology is out today in, lots of places!

My best friend and light of my life, my sister's second novel EVER is publishing TODAY. And she didn't ask me but I'm doing my part in letting people know about it because I love her, and she's mad talented.

“Magic was always going to be my downfall.”

Calla has no memories of her childhood except for hazy, recurring nightmares. Working as a servant in Kiriong, the picturesque terrace garden home to one of the most influential families in the Kamphua Dominion, she’s content to live a simple life. As long as no one finds out about the forbidden magic stirring under her skin. When the estranged family heir, Gray—a magehunter in servitude of the royal hold—unexpectedly returns home, Calla’s secret threatens to surface. Instead of turning her in, however, Gray offers her the one thing she always feared: to teach her how to use her powers. And as the turbulent tides of long-forgotten magic draw them together, Calla finds it harder and harder to deny her potential. But Gray knows more than what he admits. In the aftermath of a vile political plot targeting him and with the shadow of a mage uprising cast upon the land, finding out what happened to Calla in her forgotten years might be their only chance to survive. Except the knowledge could break them both.

It could break the world.

That June costume swap turned out to be a great exercise in.... um. lighting.

At least I didn't put her in Snakebite's costume...

this is my. a chronic internalized problem of mine and i'm constantly practicing out of it hopefully i'm getting better

I hate how acknowledging unfairness in the world is seen as "childish". Maybe children are right. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that you've become complacent with the state of your miserable existence and took on this loser "it is what it is" mentality. Things can be better.

Imbued - A Forrest Review

IMBUED is #1 in a dark fantasy duology full of intrigue, mystery, beautiful prose, and mental anguish. Read my review below!

I’ve read Helyna Clove’s first book, Skylark in the Fog, and loved it. A science fiction/space opera, it’s quite different from Imbued. Clove’s range from that book to Imbued is frankly impressive, and I can’t wait to read more by this author. About Helyna Clove:Helyna L. Clove (she/they) is a science-fiction/fantasy novelist, and a lover of all types of storytelling, hot comfort drinks, and a…

The numbers ranged across the musical horizon, but all were imbued with the magic, and magic held the audience rapt.

i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist

little WIP fullbody of Lt Guerrero for this lovely Tuesday evening. Nothing like a furious, unhinged Imbued with a deep hatred of monsters but also America to make for a fun later-in-the-day drawing project. :D

The sheer delight of Durin, child of Aulë, looking Sauron, erstwhile apprentice of the same, dead in the eye and calling him a fake bitch... unmatched tbh.
