The Imperial Shield: Corruption, Danger, Fate, and Second Chances
The Imperial Shield series begins three years after Leilani’s life crashed and burned with a humiliating divorce and a terminal prognosis. She bowed her head and disappeared with grace, hoping to live the rest of her limited days doing what she could for the empire’s people and finding peace.
Now, with six months left to live, she is trying to fulfill her last wish, but forces beyond her control make it more difficult than she can imagine. When her quest leads her into the deadly conspiracy brewing in the south, long-held secrets surface. Misunderstandings are cleared. Darkness creeps in from the very edges of the Empire threatening to swallow it whole, and the truths the Empire has held dear crumble.
With the Empire’s fate hanging in the balance, Leilani must decide to defend the Empire against the darkness threatening to consume it or forsake her fate and let it fall to ruin.

Book 1: The Crisis of Bel Keep
Leilani is running out of time but refuses to die a meaningless life.
Three years ago, Leilani was told that she had three years left to live. Now, with six months left, she is living as a man, working as a mage healer, and evading the bounty hunters determined to drag her back into her family’s clutches–dead or alive.
Her last wish is to publish her life’s work: a magical schematic that can turn any water source into Quaren water, the most potent purifying substance known on the continent. If she can get it published, it would be the most significant contribution to the field of healing and demonic rift management since the advent of Quaren healing techniques in the Golden Age of the Lania Empire.
The only thing standing in her way are the officials of the Imperial Healers’ Imperial Guild, paid to ensure that the populace remains reliant on the temple, potions, and the purification statues that line the pockets of the noble’s faction, led by the Kaiser family.
A loophole in the process gives Leilani hope that she’ll see it done and pushes her down the long twisted road marked with corruption, danger, and the mark of the Lady of Chance. Ultimately, she will have to decide if her drive to contribute to the restoration of the Empire’s glory is worth more to her than a peaceful death.
