New fantasy novel hits the shelves
TELLING the story of a world gone wrong, Local author Renee Hayes has released her latest book, The Girl Who Freed the Darkness, captivating readers once again in the post-apocalyptic Rim Walker universe.
Following her first release The Girl Who Broke The World, the sequel follows protagonist Zemira Creedence as she grapples with a new curse possessed by the indomitable spirit of former Rim guardian Kyeitha.
Teaming up with former captor Ravaryn Black, they journey to the perilous Dark Rim, unearthing world-altering secrets. The stakes are high as evil forces stir and an ancient power seeks to reshape their destinies.
Releasing her book while travelling Australia, Hayes said she was excited to finally have her sequel hit the shelves and hopes it is another step forward in becoming a New York Times bestseller.
“It’s a surreal feeling and it's great that I have finally been able to do something I always dreamed off as a kid,” she said.
“I feel like I have definitely accomplished something really cool and not something a lot of people get to do.”
Written for a young adult audience, Hayes hopes her book will appeal to lovers of all things magic and fantasy.
Hayes’ book is available to purchase on Amazon. Search for The Girl Who Freed the Darkness: Book 2 (Rim Walker Novels 1) to order.
