THE PURPLE THIEF (BOOK 1)

A prophecy echoed throughout Valeera, but only one kingdom twisted it—enforcing a law that split its people in two: the Fair and the Strange. One was promised peace. The other, eternal doom… or so the people believed.

​18-year-old Mageia Unknown is a well-known thief with purple eyes living in a kingdom divided by the blessed and the oppressed. Her only desire is to care for her family, the Lost Ones, and rescue children treated unfairly. But one night, she decides to rescue children meant to be sacrificed for a holy ceremony and things do not go as planned. She soon discovers why she has purple eyes and it comes with an anointing, connected to a long-lost prophecy, and the awakening of magical powers.

​18-year-old Grisonce Arlon is not the most respected prince in the Kingdom of Ardania. Shunned for an imperfection that stains the royal bloodline, he had grown obsessed with the Fairest Prophecy and a forbidden book that reveals the truth. When everything begins to point to the well-known Purple Thief, their paths cross and uncovers a threat within the palace that may destroy the kingdom. He is forced to protect the anointed Fairest, but is he willing to sacrifice his life and those he love while doing so?

THE STRANGEST (BOOK 2)

Who is the Strangest of us all? The answer is deadlier than you expect.
​
After an excruciatingly painful experience, Mageia finds out she is not just the thief with purple eyes, but she is the Fairest of Valeera. A position ordained to one person in a special bloodline that sets her above every Royal and gives her magic from the god, Hamino. But she’s not ready to accept it. The only important thing on her mind right now is getting her family out of Ardania as soon as possible before her world comes crashing around her again.
​
But her awakened magic has other plans in mind and darker forces from the Serene are at work seeking to invade Valeera. Everyone is in danger and Mageia must leave everyone and thing behind to take a voyage across the Aris Sea to seek and free the elder Fairest. With some unexpected helpers whom Mageia does not trust, she must focus on controlling and training her magic while tackling strange emotional pulls between two young men. One has claimed her heart as his own while the other reveals her heart is fairer than everyone thought.
​
This continues the journey of magic and fate for a young woman named Mageia Seviine.

What Are Readers Saying?

"Welcome to Valeera! Where one kingdom took heed to a prophecy and divided people into two groups, The Fair and The Strange. This right here had me interested from the get-go. I love going into a book blind with just knowing the blurb. I also appreciate what an author puts together with their world building. This was that kind of book for me and well done. There was just enough information that kept me wanting to read more and an ending that makes me want to read the next book. 😊 I am also a sucker for the color purple and who doesn’t love a FMC with purple eyes!"
Sabine McDaniel
- Reader
"I read this fantasy as an ARC, and then I paid for it too because it was that good! If you like high fantasy with fully realized worlds and societies and mysterious magic, you’ll love The Fairest! The author has created realistic characters who have very strong motivations. The story grabbed me from the beginning. Then I had to keep reading to see what happened next. I’m looking forward to when the next book comes out!"

- A Librarian Review
"This was a strong start to the Fairest series, it does everything that I was looking for in a fantasy series. It worked well overall and I loved the use of magic in this world. I was invested in the characters and glad it worked overall. I look forward to read more in this series and from LeQuita C. Harrison."
Kathryn McLeer
- Reedsy Reviewer
"The author is intentional in her worldbuilding and lays out the lay of the land and how things work in great detail so that being a visitor to the world, you won’t be lost. Readers who adventure into this tale will meet Mageia and will be in awe of her strength and determination, Dean’s tender heart, Gris, a prince with a stutter that makes him Strange (those with deformities), and the evil villains are as wicked as they can be with no punches pulled. Fans of heroines faced with impossible choices while struggling to accept their destiny will connect with this story."
