Where to Buy
A Hellebore Fields Prequel (Book #0.5)
by Rivkah Plume
First love never felt so dangerous…
Before UC Wisteria, before Tesni Solaris, there was Katie Jameson—the girl who thought she could save Branwen Atthill.
In their small hometown, Branwen is already a storm on the ice: violent, magnetic, impossible to look away from. Katie convinces herself his obsession is proof of love, mistaking danger for devotion. Their romance ignites in a blur of stolen nights, rough edges, and whispered promises…until Branwen’s possessiveness turns violent, and Katie realizes the epic love she dreamed of has become a story she might not survive.
This free novella is the exclusive prequel to Hellebore Fields. If you were captivated by Branwen’s intensity and haunted by his past, Shattered Ice reveals how it all began.
Dark, intoxicating, and unforgettable—this is where the obsession started…

Bio
"Florez warmly captures the struggle many face when trying to belong—”

M.L. Florez’s THE HEROIC MISADVENTURES OF MACI AND ROLAND is a familiar but enlightening story about finding a way to fit in.

Trade Review
"sweet, funny middle-grade novel"
"story's setting is gently, humorously improbable, providing a safe backdrop for Maci's intense emotions, and lovely black-and-grey illustrations help underscore the disconnect between Maci and her community."
"The Heroic Misadventures of Maci and Roland is funny, sweet, and instructive. It gently guides readers to think about what it really means to fit in and find acceptance."
—The Children's Book Review
