Book 3 of 3 in the Amberlight Valley Series
The lake remembers. The lake calls. And this time… it calls them all.
After the events of Lost in Time, Brigid Baelfyre is drawn to the shimmering waters of Starlight Lake—a place of portals, prophecy, and long-buried truths.
When a forgotten Merspirit awakens beneath its surface, she calls Brigid, Morgan, and Mary into a sacred quest to restore a legendary artifact—one split long ago to protect the world from its power.
But Rowan Asarligt is rising, and he will stop at nothing to claim that power for himself.
As the girls explore glowing underwater realms, unravel forgotten spells, and face the reflections of their deepest fears, they must learn to trust one another—and the magick that lives within—before time runs out.
Because some secrets were never meant to be kept.
And some truths can only be found beneath the surface.

A Children’s Bedtime Story
It’s bedtime and little Hazel is scared to go to sleep. Hazel and her mother navigate the scary moments of bedtime, transforming them into a magical new experience!
Dalea’s goal and hope with this book is to support children in navigating their normal and natural fears, by giving them tools to find the silver lining (or the magic) in the scary!

My Approach
Storytelling through Lived Experiences
At the heart of my storytelling and creative works is a common thread that connects them all together: lived experiences. I pull from the deepest places of my heart and weave that into fiction that feels real. My goal is to touch the hearts of those in need of hope with a little sprinkle of magick!
What Readers are Saying
"I was immediately swept away by the warm glow and charm of Amberlight Valley and all of its residents, and I didn’t want to leave once I’d finished reading the story. The characters are lovable and the pacing is perfect. Such a delightful story of unexpected friendships and self-discovery."
Crystal Schwanke, Author & Lifestyle Blogger
"The Christmas Witch captures the perfect combination of the struggles of being a teenager and the magic of the Christmas season, all wrapped into one."
