IT’S *FINALLY* HERE!
It’s launch day for the second edition of Crystal Lies! I’ll keep this brief because honestly, I’m exhausted. But I am so happy that book 3 is now out in its beautiful final paperback edition!
Speaking of editions, I don’t want anyone to be confused and it seems I can’t repeat it too frequently, so in the graphic above (taken from the Amazon page) I’ve gone over the unique situation with the different editions of this series. I hope it helps!
A few more things to remember:
1—This is a re-release of my debut series. It has been massively rewritten (gaining thousands and thousands of words, even while sporting better writing), so if you’ve read the original series and enjoyed the concept but not the execution/writing, I urge you to give this second edition a try!
2—Yes, only the paperback is available right now. The ebook will be exclusive with pageperks.com for a while after launch. It’s a new site/app that will be launching soon (currently projected to be later this year, possibly the beginning of 2026). It will be a HUGE deal for authors and readers alike, so I happily volunteered to support the launch with this series. I’ll be sharing more about PagePerks soon, but for now just know that though yes this is strange, it is a GOOD thing and I hope you’ll agree that it’s worth the wait!
A Brief Introduction to the Book
COMING OF AGE/YOUNG ADULT PORTAL FANTASY
FAMILY-FRIENDLY (CLEAN—MINIMAL ROMANCE & GORE, NO SPICE, NO SWEAR WORDS)
Book 3 of 7
~~~
Crystal might have been rescued, but she’s anything but safe. And with the realms destabilizing, even fleeing to another realm could be disastrous.
Nathan has sacrificed so much for me…and now he may never get to go home. With the news that the war in Zilferia is destabilizing all seven realms, we also learn that our magic-free realms will be the first to break away.
It’s never been so urgent to stop this war, but I’m still weak and powerless. The only thing I can do is risk taking an unstable portal to another realm in search of a Dragon heir who can actually lead and help the people and creatures of Zilferia.
The watery realm of Quagon is my destination—but moments after arriving, I discover that my parents were wrong about this realm being safe. If the monsters beneath the waves don’t get me first, the King’s hunt for foreigners to his realm will.
The moment someone here sees through my lies, I’m dead.
The Crystal Dragon Saga will have you devouring pages as you anxiously fight alongside a half-dragon heroine. Recommended for readers of all ages, dragon enthusiasts, and fans of Ava Richardson, AJ Flowers, and Sarah K L Wilson

SOME EARLY REVIEWS
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This young adult portal fantasy was another wonderfully written installment to the series! There were new characters, as well as some old returning ones. The world building was vivid and compelling. Again, there were twists that were surprising and unexpected.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I really enjoy the world building here – Author Cherry does a great job with it (as always) [Crystal] and Nathan are an enjoyable pair on this, their third adventure.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I am enjoying this series as each book is such a fun adventure! The characters themselves keep growing and their relationships evolving. I love the world building. The author has done an excellent job in keeping me entertained and invested in the series. Can’t wait to read the next books!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This one was a roller coaster of emotions and twists! … I love the ongoing and new plot threads and characters that intertwine and interact! How the overall plot and threat unfolds and becomes apparent as the story and books progress. I always find it so interesting how different characters react in different situations, especially when their survival depends on it.
“Of course, I also love the relationships and bonds with the dragons. Anything dealing with that will always pull at my heartstrings! A story can make you feel so many things and make you laugh out loud! There surely were a few moments where I had to burst out a chuckle or two! I have become so much invested in this series now! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!”
Thank you so much for your support! I can’t wait for you to read this much-improved and never before released edition of book 3!!!
Enjoy! 🙂
PS—My next project is to rewrite/expand the two prequel short stories to the Saga! It will first be offered on Kickstarter, with the goal to fund a deluxe flip-flop hardcover and paperback! I am hoping for a launch in 2026, once the stories are both fully rewritten, edited, formatted, and the proof copy of the book is IN HAND. Because eww to waiting for a book you’ve already paid for, right? Plus I want you to be able to see exactly what you’ll be getting! 🙂 Anyway, you can follow the campaign here to make sure you don’t miss the launch!
