Coming Soon

A young girl in orange robes advances from a dusty beige landscape. She has curly black hair and holds a glowing staff. Beside her is a yellow bobcat with a green mane. The image is framed in dark brown with a metallic gold headline. Text reads "Willow Lake, Cleodora Book 2, by Lucy D. Ford"

Yes! Willow Lake (Cleodora, Book 2) is up for pre-orders on Books2Read. This is for the e-book; the paperback is set up but I won’t officially add it until I’ve seen a physical proof.

Release is scheduled for May 15, 2025. That gives me plenty of time to make tweaks before publication. I’d love to hear what you think!


Cleodora’s family are the spirit guardians of Acorn Canyon Shrine. Three years ago, she saved a corrupted spirit instead of fighting it. Cleodora became an archel, bonded with the nature spirit Tef as one soul with two bodies.

But the land of Tenebira is suffering under a terrible drought. It’s all because of something her relatives did at Willow Lake Shrine. Now the archel of Acorn Canyon’s sacred pool calls on Cleodora and Tef. They must travel to Willow Lake, confront her family, and heal the broken shrine.

If they fail, all life will wither away!
