Wiken
Seven books, complete: the story of Ollie, Mulberry Academy, and the Shade. Around them stand the prequels that came before, the companions that run alongside, and a darker sequel for grown-up readers.
The Seven Books
Read them in order — this is the spine of everything.
The Purple Flame
Orphan Ollie learns she is Wiken and goes to Mulberry Academy, a living school where three anchors hold all magic — and something in a grey cloak has been watching her for a very long time.
The Wand
Ava returns able to do magic she shouldn't be able to do, carrying the Shade's chosen instrument: a wand, the one tool no decent Wiken would touch.
The Shadow War
The War of Shadows comes to Mulberry's walls, and the last unicorn in the world pays the price of saving Ollie — leaving her a feather, and a way to surf rainbows.
The Serpent's Lair
The war is over, the ex-shadows are gathering into a cult, Ava founds the Shadow Knights — and something enormous is moving under the water at the lake.
The Forgotten Island
A box sealed with centaur writing, a key that won't open promises, and a childhood storybook whose rainbow turns out to be a map to somewhere real.
Ashes
Miranda walks back into Ollie's life carrying the Shade's offer — not death, not defeat: join him — and everything Ollie thought winning cost starts to crack.
The Last Flame
The boy Ollie loves is still in there, drowning, inside the thing wearing him; three anchors, three holders, three prices, and the world is out of time.
