If You Know You Know
Welcome to Elle’s world, where truth bends, time twists, and the mother wound cuts deep.
This is the story of a girl trapped in a mystic’s dream. Of a mother who isn’t what she seems. Of love, power, betrayal and what happens when you finally wake up.
My debut novel is equal parts haunting and healing. It weaves magic, memory, and mystery into a tale for anyone who’s ever had to break free from the story they were given.
She was told the mystic saved her.
Raised her. Loved her.
None of it was true.
Elle has always trusted her instincts. Until they began leading her in circles. Raised by a mysterious woman known only as the mystic, Elle grew up in a world of rituals, secrets, and carefully controlled truths. The mystic claimed to be her mother. But she’s not. She’s something far more powerful… and far more dangerous.
Trapped in a web of time-warping magic, Elle begins to unravel the lies that shaped her life. As memories fracture and realities shift, she discovers that her so-called mother has been using her for years, feeding off Elle’s innate intuition to fuel her own dark magic.
Now, pursued by creatures who belong to no single realm. Vampires with long memories, fae with shifting loyalties, reptilian beings with ancient grudges, and demons lurking just out of sight. Elle must reclaim her identity before she disappears into one of the mystic’s illusions forever.
But breaking free isn’t just about escape. It’s about becoming the force she was never meant to be.
“She told me the world would hurt me.
She never said it would start with her.”
Elle always felt… different. Too intuitive. Too sensitive. Too tangled in the emotions and memories that didn’t quite belong to her.
Raised by a woman with ancient power and chilling tenderness, Elle believed she was chosen, until the illusion shattered.
