Blending myth, faith, and richly woven character journeys, The Unsung and the Wolf Duology tells the story of resilience, redemption, and the fight against darkness in the Capella Realm. In The Befallen, Sloane—determined to rise above the limitations of her disabled leg—must face a shattered world after her village is destroyed. Drawn into a legend of gods, knights, and prophecy, she joins forces with the reluctant yet renowned Sir Tolvar, a knight haunted by his past. Together, they confront the rising terror of the Befallen. The saga continues in Keeper of the Word, as Tolvar, now restored as the Wolf, must protect a StarSeer whose visions foretell the realm’s doom. With the fate of an empire at stake, the duology explores the power of belief, the weight of destiny, and the courage required to challenge both monsters and inner demons.

Simply Free is a lyrical exploration of the artistic spirit, told through dialogue verse between writer Cambria Williams and her father, renowned artist Franklin Williams. This intimate collaboration pairs poetry and reflection with Franklin’s original artwork, offering readers a glimpse into the solitary, often silent world of creation. A love letter to the artist’s journey, it captures both the visible beauty of art and the unseen moments of inspiration, struggle, and awakening that shape it.
