Elemental, The Series

Dear Reader,

My world of Maeryn continues with the plotting of a new fantasy YA series, called Elemental. The four novella book series starts off with Earth, then after that it’s Water, Fire and Air, though I’m unclear on the order they’d be in after the first.

I’ve been thinking about this series for a while, but the premises changed drastically a few days ago from what I originally intended. Instead of the POV of quadruplets who call the elements with terrifying accuracy, they’ve become “secondary main characters,” if that makes any sense. Now, the stories are told from Trinity’s POV, who will tie in all the different warring forces from one source, instead of four.

Trinity Liathain is fae, half pixie and half Yaksha (half-breeds of all sorts seem to be a fad with me at the moment). She lives on Earth, but has no idea why. Her parents keep many secrets from her, but she doesn’t question them. She trusts them, or she thinks she does. Most fairies live in Maeryn, where the dark (Dorchaign) and the light (Lochrann) sides have existed since being banished to the otherworld centuries before. Neither side wants anything to do with her, because her parents are mixed heritage. Because of this ,she lives day to day, forgetting there’s a whole other world practically on her doorstep, one she’s never been to. On the occasion, some fae, especially those with mixed blood, or suffering from banishment live on Earth, near the weak spots between the dimensions. On the occasion, far from Maeryn come through the portal, but not often enough that newcomers aren’t immediately noticed by the fae community.  land at And quadruplets: Deorsa, Aden, Kelby and Anemone’s entrance into Trinity’s high school is no different. Their creepy, powerful and their interest in Trinity freaks her out. And it’s only the beginning. When enemies start falling from the sky, she has no idea where to turn, or who to trust, not even her own mother.

I’m also planning on redoing my website, before I start publishing the books. I’m really excited to get started, and show you some of the graphics and tidbits I have planned!

Until next time,
Kinsey Knight
