D.C. Nowak is a lifelong devotee of science fiction and fantasy, captivated by worlds both classic (Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit) and contemporary (Dragonlance series by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas). Their love for these fantastical realms ignited a passion for crafting their own.
D.C.’s stories delve deeper than pure escapism. Their central character, Marixia, isn’t your hero. A “quote murder hobo,” as D.C.’s friends and family describe her, Marixia grapples with the complexities of life and the weight of her choices.

Marixia, an elven child of Elydir, knows nothing but joy. While enjoying time with her siblings, her world is upended in the blink of an eye. A cruel twist of fate shatters her world, unleashing rage and darkness that corrupts her delicate soul.
Marixia navigates the wreckage of her life; the line between victim and villain blurs. Embracing the shadows becomes her only solace, a desperate bid to forge a new reality from the ashes of her past.
