Skinshifter, Sylvan Cycle Book 1

The full moon revealed her humanity. Now the hunters know her secret.
Skinshifters are a curse. The Asheken deadwalkers proved that fact when they used skinshifters to spy against the Sylvan races during the Second War of Ages. Now, after three centuries of peace, the deadwalkers have found a secret way back onto the Sylvan Continent and this time they seek not just to conquer their enemies, but to enslave them body and soul. When the Feliconas Clan suffers the deadwalkers’ first raid, one werecat—a skinshifter who has concealed her abilities—survives the massacre. Even as Katja struggles with her grief and guilt over her murdered kin, she must unite with other Sylvan refugees to defeat the deadwalkers before they can butcher and defile the other races. But can this skinshifter trust her newfound allies or will their secrets prove even more treacherous than her own?

Fireforger, Sylvan Cycle Book 3
The full moon revealed her true form. Now she must reshape his destiny.
To save what is left of their world, Katja and her packmates must destroy the vampire High Elder Luther before he can discover the secret of divinity. This requires the packmates to hunt down the remaining eight Keystones, but they are not the only ones seeking them.
During the hunt, the vampire Daeryn offers Katja an exchange: the packmates’ Keystones for two of their imprisoned companions. Whether she denies or appeases him, Katja risks losing her friends, the war, and the realm.
As conflict roars across their world, a holy prophecy whispers hope within the shadows. But being obedient to that prophecy means allying with the very enemy who threatens every freedom the packmates still hold. Can Katja and her packmates give voice to one last hope, or will the vampires finally silence freedom’s cry forever?

About the Sylvan Cycle
In a world where shapeshifters walk between human and beast, where vampires hunger for more than blood, and where the line between monster and hero blurs with every choice - one question echoes: Can the broken be made whole again?
Katja is a skinshifter who despises her human form - until she learns that her humanity is her greatest strength.
Daeryn is a dhampir consumed by revenge - until his quest for justice transforms him into something far worse than the monster he hunts.
Their collision will cost everything. Their choices will reveal whether redemption is real - even for those who deserve it least.
The Sylvan Cycle explores grief, forgiveness, and the audacious hope that no one—not even monsters—are beyond the reach of grace.

More About Alycia
I grew up near the dusty cotton fields of Lubbock, Texas. As a child, I struggled to read because of ADHD and dyslexia. But when my father read his favorite fantasy novels to me at age ten, I discovered that the hard work was worth the reward of adventure within each book. That love of story never left me.
I began writing Skinshifter during my time at Texas A&M University, where I earned a B.S. in agriculture journalism. What started as a college course project grew into something far deeper—a series that would carry me through my own journey of darkness.
My parents gave me more than a love of fantasy—they gave me faith in Jesus. That faith was profoundly tested in my twenties and thirties as I lost all four grandparents, my best friend, and one of my closest friends. In 2014, at my lowest point while battling severe depression, Jesus met me in my darkness and began a healing journey that took a decade to complete, piece by piece.
My writing reflects that journey from darkness into light. The Dryad's Sacrifice holds part of my grief over losing my best friend. The Sylvan Cycle novels carry traces of my walk through depression toward hope. Readers often tell me how profoundly the messages of love, redemption, and faith in my work have touched them.
By day, I work in a Dallas warehouse where many of my coworkers are rebuilding their lives after prison—people learning to trust again, to love again, to hope again, to become human again.
Their courage reminds me daily why I write: to tell stories for anyone who has ever felt like a monster, carried unbearable shame, or wondered if they are beyond redemption.
Whether through words or images, I'm drawn to capturing moments of beauty emerging from brokenness. My photography has been featured in Times Square, and when I'm not writing, drawing, shooting photography, or practicing aerial sling, I work to promote education and literacy through local and international philanthropic organizations. My husband and I live in Dallas, Texas.
I write because I believe no one—not even monsters—are beyond the reach of grace.
