The Earthen Calamities: The Acquisitionist Book 1

“There’s action, danger, and tension, but also softness, hope, and cozy moments that sneak up and wrap around your heart like a blanket.” – Goodreads Review of BLOOD ON THE TAIGA

How can an invisible girl hope to be seen by the one person who matters most?

Lusa is a duster, a half Inuit, half tariaksuq shadow person, gifted with unparalleled stealth yet cursed to disappear when anyone looks her way. That’s until she met Res, a flamboyant duster magical performer who can see through illusions. Having friendship for the first time in her life, Lusa is inspired to dream bigger than being a petty pickpocket.

When renowned archivist Theodore Avialian hires them to steal the birds of truth from a legendary dragon, Lusa seizes the chance to change her fate. But when Lusa and Res become trapped in the dragon’s vast underground maze guarded by mythical giants, dangerous alchemy, and unexpected complications from Res’s past, theft becomes survival. As the stakes rise and sparks fly between Lusa and her best friend, she’ll have to risk more than her life—she’ll have to risk her heart. Because being truly seen by someone might be the greatest treasure of all, if she can survive long enough to claim it.

In a world of illusions and shadows, will love shine bright enough to bring Lusa out of the darkness, or will she fade away before anyone can truly see her?
