Imagine how surprised 20th century Janet Murray is to meet her 18th century flatmate, Elspeth. It isn’t everyday you discover a spirit lives inside you.
Shy, socially awkward, and confused—Janet is just trying to find a place in the world where she belongs. Performing medical procedures on strangers whilst in a kind of daydream, isn’t helping her confidence at all. Can she tell anyone what she’s going through without them thinking she’s gone mad?
Elspeth endures spousal abuse and is accused of being a witch by those who claim to love her. The women form an unlikely friendship that defies time and death. Both women have much to learn from one another if they can figure out how to communicate.
Will Elspeth’s history inspire Janet to step outside her comfort zone, learn to trust, and even help others?

What readers are saying about The Welexia Series
What readers are saying about The Welexia Series
★★★★★ “This dark story is written exceptionally well and the tension is a constant roller coaster of emotion. I couldn't put it down.”
★★★★★ “Rhys Shaw’s powerful novel is a tale of violence against women set in a medieval fantasy world resembling a twisted fairy tale out of 14th Century Europe.”
★★★★★ “Diving into this world of castles, treachery, and royalty was a wonderful escape. Of course, now I can’t wait to see what happens next. This story reminded me of the Game of Thrones only less violent. I appreciate the dialog and dialect befitting medieval royalty.”
