Diablerie Trilogy
Written by C.J. Sparrow
Tolerant
Isolated and on the run, Tovey is a servant who knows she may not survive her escape from the collective through the Tenbris—an unexplored forest where defectors are slaughtered. But when she learns of an ancient prophecy that claims she will bring the final war, she flees.
Now Tovey will be a true renegade as she runs for her life and abandons her obligation as a servant and begins a quest to stop the prophecy alongside her kingdom’s mysterious heir—Cullus. He believes Tovey can be the key to convincing Abolend’s enemy to agree to uphold peace, but only if she believes in her innate magic even she didn’t realize she possessed.
As the prophecy nears fruition and the unlikely duo enters enemy territory, Tovey connects to her dark magic, finds her voice, and discovers the dangers of putting trust in those she doesn’t fully know, threatening the future of Valledera and her very life.

Unspoken
Abandoned in enemy territory, Tovey is a defector whose memory is foggy and who knows she has a new and terrifying eye color—red. Alone in Silvis she must escape the dryads—an enemy kingdom where tree-like people reign. But when she learns of her ancestors and true origin, she begins to embrace her magic.
Now Tovey will become a warrior as she learns of a horrific betrayal and abandons everything she once believed to be true and begins a quest to end the madness encompassing the final war. Chief Arden of Silvis encourages Tovey to embrace her inner self as she takes lead to form a new alliance.
As she reunites with old friends, experiences friendship and discovers a subterranean world, Tovey embraces her ancestors, feeds the demonic magic within her while finding her voice to know exactly how she is going to fulfill the prophecy, by threatening the very kingdom she once loved—Abolend.

C.J. Sparrow
Bethany Stahl chose to write under a pen name for the Diablerie Trilogy to set the series apart from her other works as well as to honor a childhood dream of writing under a pen name inspired by one of her favorite childhood authors who used a pen name – Lemony Snicket.
C.J. Sparrow was chosen for personal reasons that connect deeply to Stahl’s current stage of life and it only felt fitting to use this name for the book series.
