“What waits for me in the garden doesn’t matter when I have my murder plan wrapped in black suede and a hood.”

Altered Echoes is the first book in the Noxshade Trilogy, it follows twenty-four-year-old Nephelle, a lone traveler on a personal journey into the unknown. With the death of her father – an extraordinary apothecary and researcher – constantly looming over her, she strives to be everything he trained her to be, seeing both beauty and brutality in all things.

However, she is not perfect, nor a heroine.

 Amber Merrows is a dreamer living in her own fantasy. She has a career in tattooing and focuses specifically on fantasy tattoos. She loves to read, write, and paint beautiful characters and fantasy realms in her free time. She has two cats and a dog that love to cuddle when she spends her time writing for 10+ hours a day in her writing hole—the divot in her couch. She is a big believer in manifestation and using hard work and time to create – if she wants to make it happen, she does. She has been writing creatively since high-school, but a little over a year ago, she decided to take the jump and start writing an actual book. She is 28 years old but still 20 in her own goofy mind. She’s the type of person to think that she is hilarious when others may not, and she isn’t afraid to make a fool of herself if it brings her joy.
