CHAPTER FOUR - THE TALE OF TATIANA OLWEN: PART ONE “Hidden Amid Flowers” Tatiana Olwen is the star performer of the Freyorian Bouquet, a traveling troupe of singers and dancers. Her shows put smiles on the faces of everyone she meets, and she has everything a person could ever want… Or so it seems. Beneath it all, Tatiana is hiding a dark secret, one she knows will change the way others view her forever. She runs from the past out of the hope that no one will ever discover it. When one of the Bouquet’s shows is sabotaged, Tatiana recognizes the culprit as someone from her horrific history she had hoped she would never see again. In the name of defending her friends, Tatiana rushes into action to lay the past to rest once and for all… But this is one battle she will never be able to undo, and its consequences are set to change the course of her life–and her role within the theatre troupe she calls home–forever…

We're just two days away from the release of chapter four, "Hidden Amid Flowers"! This chapter revolves around Tatiana, her performances, and her secrets. Meet Tatiana when her chapter releases on August 8!

Thank you all for your continued support for ARNWA, and I look forward to showing you everything else I have planned for this series! We're just getting started, and it's all going to get better and brighter from here!

The full release of book one will be happening in January of 2026, and book two will be starting in February with monthly installments. More information about book two will be coming as we get closer, but the draft is coming along very nicely so far!

Once the new year arrives, I will be publishing the full book in other places, including Amazon! I will also be preparing for a potential physical run of the first book. When I have more details about where to find the book, you all will hear about them first!

The next chapter of ARNWA, "Hidden Amid Flowers," will be releasing on August 8! After that, the remaining four chapters of book one will be releasing each month on the eighth until December when the final chapter comes out.
