Merrenhaven
The Lost Hall is a fantasy academia novel filled with dragons, magical schools, ancient Halls, mysterious creatures, friendship, secrets and forgotten histories.
When Seraphine Vale arrives at Merrenhaven, she expects to be chosen like every other student. But no Hall claims her.
In a school built on tradition, power and belonging, being unclaimed should mean being overlooked. Instead, it becomes the first clue.
Because something at Merrenhaven has been forgotten. Something old. Something powerful. And Seraphine may be the only one who can feel it waking.
The Lost Hall is available 8th September on Amazon

The Lost Hall
Â
When Seraphine Vale arrives and no Hall claims her, it should mean she has been overlooked. Instead, it becomes the first clue that something at Merrenhaven has been erased.
​
Some histories are not lost.
They are buried.
The World of Merrenhaven
Above the clouds stands Merrenhaven, an ancient academy where students are claimed by powerful Halls, trained in magic, taught the histories of the Seven Kingdoms, and bonded with extraordinary creatures.
​
Its towers are older than memory. Its corridors are full of portraits, whispers and rules no one questions. Dragon messengers cross the skies, ancient lessons are carved into stone, and every Hall carries its own pride, secrets and legacy.
​
But Merrenhaven has forgotten one thing.
​
The Hall of Echoes.
Four first-years. One mystery.
