DARKNESS 'RISING.'

This is a dark fairytale for adults, but don't expect any happy endings here. Full of magic, trauma, manipulation, spice, and lots of surprises along the way, this story will have you gripped. Beware, once you step into Elyrya, you'll find it difficult to leave! (Check your triggers). Dubheasa Ravenstorm was born with the mark of an ancient prophecy predicting that she will become the cruel ‘Dark Fairy;’ a ruthless being of such powerful magic that she will conquer the world and make it her own. Feared from birth, she finds herself in a constant battle against the darkness residing within her. A darkness which thrives with trauma the young princess endures, trauma inflicted by the prejudice and hatred of others. When she falls for the handsome Jude Harrington, the pair believe that his unconditional love will prevent the prophecy from playing out. However, jealous friends Sadie and Sebastian have their own ideas, deciding to raise her darkness as a way to split the lovers and take them for themselves. As they destroy and isolate the princess with each wicked move, Dubheasa finds herself locked in a battle for her soul; a battle she’s failing to win. Can love save her? Or will evil prevail and recreate her as the villain in her own story?

Author

Michelle Jameson is a writer, performer and fantasy make-up artist from North Lincolnshire. She began writing full length and short plays in 2022 and turned to novel writing in 2024, creating the Darkness Series. The book series was inspired by her play, ‘A PIRATE’S TALE’, which told the origin story of Captain Hook. This play, which was produced locally, introduced a new villain in the form of Queen Dubheasa Ravenstorm. Michelle played Dubheasa in the show and fell in love with the sassy, magical, independent, yet morally corrupt woman with huge black wings and knew she needed her own story.
