Today is the cover reveal for A Silent Hope, my first nonmagical Wounded Lion retelling! A Silent Hope is the third novella in the Hope Ever After series, which is a multi-author charity series raising funds for Operation Underground Railroad, which helps rescue trafficked women and children. You can read more about that here.
Going to A Silent Hope, I didn’t intend for it to spark a series idea, yet it has. So, be on the possible lookout in late 2025!
To see the first batch of covers in Hope Ever After, head over to my Instagram.
About
Releasing 3/20/24
Can hope be found when everything seems hopeless?
When illness threatens her brother’s life, deaf peasant Calaine Kalen vows to do anything to save him—including finding work near a war-torn area overrun with giants and nefarious schemes. When war threatens Prince Renner Leorin’s kingdom, he vows to save it no matter what—even if that means convincing a surly former enemy to help.
She needs a cure. He needs a miracle. Can tragedy bring two unlikely hearts together, or will heartbreak shatter any hope of both love and saving those they care about?
A Silent Hope, a New Adult, faith-filled retelling of The Wounded Lion, is a standalone novella, complete with tropes like rags-to-riches, concealed identity, and a deaf heroine. It is part of the Hope Ever After series, a collection of twenty hopeful and uplifting fairy tale retellings. Each book is written by a different author, so it can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the O.U.R. (Operation Underground Rescue) to rescue children from exploitation and trafficking.

Have you ever read The Wounded Lion? What about a retelling of it? It’s not well-known, so I was so excited to be able to do a retelling.
If you’d like to help spread the word via being on the launch and/or ARC team, I’d love to have you!
It looks beautiful, Madi! And the story sounds AMAZING! Can’t wait!

Thank you! I know–it’s so pretty.
It’s definitely not as well-known as the other represented tales in the series, which makes it fun for me because there aren’t many retellings of it.
