The Vermilion Ribbon was previously published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This is the second edition, with a new cover and improved storytelling.

A garment maker’s daughter becomes an ice-cold killer stalked by her own doubts, grief, and guilt.

Corelle’s simple life becomes indistinguishable from her nightmares after a chance meeting with a woman who becomes her lover. A dark, violent history casts a shadow over their relationship, and Corelle is drawn down a path of death and self-loathing. Betrayed to the authorities, she makes a choice that will haunt her for the rest of her days.

Corelle flees south, pursued by men who wish her dead, but fate does not release her from its grip. A rainy night brings a woman with a sinister connection to Corelle’s past, one from whom unpalatable truths must be hidden. Inevitably, the two women’s histories collide, portentous decisions are made, and Corelle’s pursuers draw ever nearer.

The Vermilion Ribbon is book one of The Vermilion Saga, a secondary-world sapphic low fantasy series with sprinklings of other genres such as romance and adventure that add to its complexity.

Love and death intertwine as the fates that are written for Jorinda draw her ever deeper into their embrace.

Jorinda and Deineike may have escaped the clutches of the clandestine killers who seek them, but before long they are drawn back into a dangerous world where the only way to stay alive is to kill those who threaten you. When a stranger’s life is endangered, an unlikely ally requests Jorinda’s help, and her intervention leads to more revelations about the schemes of Styrrach, the man who longs to place her under his blade. Jorinda sets out to bring Styrrach down, determined to expose the corruption he has fostered in Dur’s corridors of power and extract her own vengeance on him.

Characterised by meticulous world-building and visceral, detailed action scenes, The Vermilion Cross is a gripping story of power, corruption, deceit, and revenge. With every person Jorinda kills, her mental anguish deepens, and when allies become complications, Jorinda is compelled to make difficult decisions. Living with those decisions may be the hardest thing of all.

Following immediately on from the events of The Vermilion Ribbon, The Vermilion Cross is the second book of The Vermilion Saga, a secondary-world sapphic low fantasy series with sprinklings of other genres such as romance and adventure that add to its complexity.

Jorinda’s life changes forever as she combats the vicious killer who pursues her.

Dragged into dark despair, Jorinda resolves to end her feud with Styrrach, even if it costs her everything, and embarks on a merciless and bloody mission.

In the shadow of the hangman’s noose, she must find a way to tear down the Guild and everything it stands for. Jorinda stares death in the face as she tries to rewrite Styrrach’s fates and bring about his demise.
