The Abalone Cycle
Enchanting | Women
In an ancient city by the Yangtze River, in the year 326 CE, begins the story of a woman who had to forget herself to regain her power.
The Abalone novels weave together sensuality, alchemy and mystical adventures to guide us back into remembering.
“Love was not needing someone until it hurt. Love was when the fire awoke.”
Book I – Abalone and the Snake Goddess
Nanjing, 326 CE.
After thirteen years of quiet desperation, mute Abalone enters a forbidden pact with the Snake Goddess — and is drawn into the deep waters of feminine magic.
In a hidden grotto, far from the eyes of the Confucian order, a dark and luminous ritual unfolds: a woman awakens, memory returns, an ancient power rises from the earth.
Follow Abalone on her shamanic journey through swamps, mountains, and spirit worlds of China. Encounters with soulless immortals, vain water dragons, and erotic singers lead her — and you — back to the source of creation itself.

Book II – Abalone and the Spider Princess
Coming 2026
Spin your web,” whisper the threads winding around Abalone’s hands.
Her magic has returned. Anything seems possible — beauty, love, power.
But during a festival of intoxication, black magic, and intrigue, her shimmering world collapses.
Among alchemists, drunk Daoists, and corrupt ministers, Abalone learns that power is a venomous drink —
and that the web she wove so craftily may now hold her captive.
Whispering.

Book III – Abalone and the Bee Daughter
being created
A flight. A tiger with golden eyes — and a secret too old to name.
A woman still learning that fire cannot be tamed.
Once again she must descend into the deep water.
On the mysterious Island of Princesses, Abalone faces the demons she once bound,
too intruiging to resist.
Scorching.
Prequel – Abalone and the Spirit-Tiger
“Is this death?” I asked.
“This is love,” said the tiger.
Before she became the healer of legends, Abalone was a rebellious apprentice who preferred magic to marriage.
When her father, a great alchemist, tries to wed her off, she leaps from the cliffs into the sea — and meets a tiger, and her own fire.
A lighthearted and adventurous tale of friendship, sacred blood, and first magic.
Meet a young Abalone before she lost her voice.
