Book One: The Breaking Stone Trilogy:

Ether-Touched

Vylaena Azrel has one goal in life: lift the Curse set upon her by the goddess Ikna, dooming her to feel others' pain as her own. Living alone in the haunted Elderwood just outside the city of Cyair, Vylaena keeps well away from civilization—until the day a mysterious solicitor arrives at her doorstep to make her an offer that will change her life.

Unwillingly entangled in matters of state, Vylaena is brought to the Cyair Palace to play bodyguard to a newly-arrived foreign ambassador. Bound to the city and annoyed at her predicament, she endures her new position with grim acceptance. But the post proves more complicated than expected; despite her efforts to remain detached, Vylaena is forced to contend with the mass disappearances plaguing the kingdom, a war looming to the south, and a dark past that refuses to stay where she left it.

As dangerous forces converge around her, Vylaena has difficult choices to make—choices that will not only determine her own future, but the fate of the entire world.

Reviews for Ether-Touched

 

“The world-building of Ether-Touched is fascinating and one that fantasy fans will love: the potent potential of ether for both good and evil, abstruse goddesses and their warnings, the tension of noble politics and war, and much more.”

— Lit Amri for Readers’ Favorite

“Coulson builds such a cool world on par with Warcraft and Game of Thrones, but it was Vylaena’s character and struggle that really hit this one home for me! There is such depth in this book coupled with a really intriguing plot that left me excited to spend more time in this world.”
