Preorder a signed paperback copy of Asiri and the Amaru, an adult Cozy Latin Fantasy Romance based on Peruvian mythology. (Book launch is Oct 24, 2023, books will be mailed out prior to launch!)

Book Description:

Asiri has a gift – she has the ability to speak to animals. However, when she begins to feel that her talents are being abused in her home, she escapes to a delightful coastal village where she plans to hide her gift and finally live a “normal” life. 

This proves difficult as her path keeps crossing with Dario, the village’s charming and handsome animal healer – and the person most likely to guess her secret.

Through a twist of fate, Asiri and Dario stumble across an injured Amaru, a creature who had, up until then, been thought only to be myth.

Now, Asiri has a mission.

Convince Dario to help the creature.

Protect it from the superstitious town people.

Keep her gift a secret.

And absolutely, most definitely, NOT fall in love while doing so.

Asiri and the Amaru is the first book in the Pisqu Sweet and Sour series, which will include five interconnected standalone novels which will all be based in a speculative version of Peru and the Inca Empire. This book contains adult content and is suitable only for audiences 18+.

What is an Amaru?

An Amaru is a creature from Peruvian mythology with the body of a snake, a tail like a fish, wings of a bird, and the head of a llama. They are often considered semidioses/demigods that can travel between our realm and the realm of the gods. They have a variety of meanings, but in the myths that Natalia read/heard as a child, they were often associated with water, particularly rivers and rain.

Injured animals (no animals die in this book – except for some fish which are eaten by another animal, and a few insects. Non-graphic)
