Capture of The Night Princess is available now!

Trapped in a dangerous world with a band of unpredictable heroes, Juniper isn’t sure this is much better than the Vampire King who lurks in wait for her in the real world.

Then she is imprisoned and cast into her first ever dungeon. A collar of Watersmith ice is clipped to her neck to stop her using her powers. Worse, the handsome Investigator from the Library of Alexandria with whom she shares a mysterious connection is strangely reluctant to tell her the truth about her parentage.

Actually, you know what? When the Vampire King finally finds Juniper, it makes everything else seem like it isn’t so bad after all. Sure would be nice to be able to use her powers right now…

This novella is the second volume in the Night Princess saga. Follow Juniper as she explores new worlds and learns more about her perilous heritage in this unpredictable portal fantasy adventure.

A Game of Starlight and Secrets

The pieces have been set up, but Tethia refuses to be just a pawn in a dangerous game. She will do whatever it takes.

In technologically advanced New Rome, where women are possessions, and violence and political intrigue are everywhere, Tethia has surrendered her identity in exchange for limited, genderless freedom. Freedom is all she has now.


But there is one thing Tethia values more than her freedom: the baby girl she bore in secret and gave away to be raised by the State.

When Tethia learns that her daughter has been numbered among the unCounted and used in a government experiment, her priorities shift. In five days, Sheya will be terminated. Tethia is determined to rescue her daughter. Nothing can stand in her way.


Fans of Bella Forrest, Suzanne Collins and Anne McCaffrey will love this thrilling science fantasy adventure because everyone loves a determined heroine who won’t take no for an answer.

The Umbra Chronicles

This collection contains Books 1-3 of The Umbra Chronicles: Vengeance, Defiance and Resistance in one handy volume!

Every year, a different name. Every year, a different Guardian. A life spent in hiding.

Born into a world where magic is punishable by death, twins Emer and Elisabeth have been hidden by the Order of Guardians their whole lives. Every Winter Solstice, they are given new names and a new Guardian. They were told it was to keep them safe from the White Queen. The reason for the secrecy is much more sinister.

Fleeing the Guardians, Emer is separated from her sister in a Time Portal created by the legendary hero, Umbra. She is sent to the Library of Cairnagorn, years before she was born and is clothed in a featherskin to inhibit her magic. She will do anything to return to Elisabeth, to return to her own time and save her son from the clutches of the dangerous mage who keeps him captive. But the White Queen is determined to destroy Emer and everything she loves.

Emer is aided by the friends and family she gathers around her: her mother, her sisters, the King of the Dragon shifters and the handsome leader of a rebellion who will give his life for Emer. As Emer battles dragons, evil Queens and the darkness within herself, she comes to find the place in the world that has been waiting for her since long before she was born.

The Umbra Chronicles celebrates the themes of found family, recovery, healing, and a slow burn romance where love might come more than once in a lifetime.

Emer is not the nice one. She’s the hero.

About Me

Grace Martin writes fantasy novels and loves to read. Her favourite authors are Sarah J. Maas, Anne McCaffrey and Suzanne Collins. She finds endless inspiration in the world around her. Grace grew up in a caravan and travelled around Australia. She has walked across Spain on an ancient pilgrimage trail, rode the rails in trains from Istanbul to Paris, sailed around Norway and lived in an enclosed monastery. She has been a cook, an actor, a stage manager, a seamstress, and now makes a living looking after tiny babies in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Daughter of a Captive God is my debut portal fantasy novel, featuring adventures that pass into the worlds of books as the heroine searches to save her father. The Night Princess Saga is a YA fantasy novella series, set in the same world as Daughter of a Captive God, but with its own shy, awkward heroine who is going to learn a lot about standing up for herself. A Game of Starlight and Secrets is a science fantasy novel about a woman who pursues her goals relentlessly… and learns how to pivot when her priorities change. The Umbra Chronicles is an epic fantasy saga about found family, friendship and true love.
