The Cimmarriian Chronicles

Priestess Kida, a sworn Dæthe Hunter, carries the scars of her past and the weight of her calling. Haunted by nightmares and driven by duty, she hunts the undead that shattered her childhood and left her orphaned.

As her journey unfolds, truth challenges what she was taught, religion pulls her in unexpected directions, and her growing talents force her to question everything she once believed. In a world where death does not always mean rest, Kida must decide who she will become.

Audrey E. Collins

a.k.a. QueAquila

Audrey E. Collins writes dark fantasy under the name QueAquila. Her debut, Child of Kasala, opens the Cimmarriian Chronicles: the story of Kida, a priestess sworn to hunt the restless dead, and of the forbidden land of Cimmarrii.

A pagan at heart, Audrey is drawn to old faiths, the balance between light and dark, and the quiet magic of growing things. When she isn't writing, she is out in her garden, skull planters and all, or in the yard with her dogs.
