With the release of Well of Ash, a YA Fantasy novella, I now have five books out (if you include the Wielder's Storm trilogy box set). Last year, I never would've dreamed.

Some people have asked recurring questions, so I thought I'd put together a collection of articles so you can learn more about the writer, Elle Cardy.

Wielder's Storm, the Complete Trilogy

2020-11-02T21:53:00.001-08:00

Jasmine's adventures have now concluded in the Wielder's Storm trilogy. You can pick up the box set of ebooks on Amazon.

Or read it free with Kindle Unlimited.

The Wielder's Storm Trilogy is an action-packed epic fantasy that will sweep you across the high seas on a thrilling adventure full of exciting twists.

This complete box set contains Wielder’s Prize, Wielder’s Curse and Wielder’s Fire.

Wielder’s Prize

Snatched for what she isn’t. Hunted for what she is.

Despite having an abusive cook as a father, Jasmine wouldn’t change her life on the high seas for anything—until that life is shattered. When she’s snatched from the only home she’s ever known and forced to crew a different ship, she learns a terrible truth. She is an untrained magic wielder who is a threat to everyone if she can’t control her power. But she’s not the only out-of-control wielder on the high seas, and the secret of that wielder could change everything she thought she knew—if she can survive.

Wielder’s Curse

A dark vision. A dangerous curse. A fierce girl caught in between.

Jasmine thought her adventures were over, but terrifying visions continue to haunt her. When a loved one’s life is threatened, she risks everything to hunt down the would-be assassin. What she finds is not what she expected. Too late, she realizes she’s endangered the ship and crew. On the run, she is pursued across the high seas to an unknown land. If she can’t master her power, she won’t be able to protect anyone. If she can’t accept help, then she could turn into something worse than the thing that hunts her.

Wielder’s Fire

Jasmine’s secrets have been laid bare, her magic stripped. All she has left is a fire in her soul to defeat the oncoming storm.

Shipwrecked on a forsaken island, Jasmine has nothing but her anger and determination to keep her warm at night. Without her magic, she must find a way to defeat a powerful enemy that can raze townships and summon sea monsters. When she discovers an ancient magic, she embraces it. But it may not be all it seems, and she could be exchanging one sword to the throat for another.

For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo, who love exciting tales with dark secrets and unexpected twists. Lose yourself today in Elle Cardy’s epic fantasy adventure.

Wielder's Fire Release Date

Marooned on an island, stripped of her magic, Jasmine must find a way to mend her heart and defeat the oncoming storm.

Jasmine's secrets have been laid bare. The one who was supposed to love her, stripped her of her magic. Now she’s been shipwrecked on a forsaken island with nothing but her anger and determination to keep her warm at night. Alone and defenseless against a powerful enemy, she must find a way to survive.

She will get her magic back.

She will escape the island.

She will face the enemy and defeat it once and for all.

But how can she when her heart feels like it’s been blistered to a crisp? One step at a time.

5 Days until Launch

2019-10-08T17:29:00.000-07:00

There is less than a week until the launch of my debut novel. It's taken a long time to get here and I'm both excited and terrified.

It's obvious why I'm excited--I get to share my story with the world. I've dreamed of this for years. While I've had short stories published before, and I've had a Christian non-fiction published--Cling to God: A Daily Devotional--this is my first novel released upon the world.

I don't even know why I'm terrified. Maybe because of the same reasons as above: It's my first novel. This is a slice of me for all the world to see. And, with a little help from friends and colleagues, I've done it myself. I even did the cover myself. Not something I'd recommend other writers to do unless you have a background in graphic design and an understanding of book cover design. Being an artist isn't enough. But I digress. My point is, it's all me.

And now back to the excitement: Five days to go!! Wooooooo!!

Get your pre-order in now because when my book hits the shelves in five days, the price will be going up.

5 Benefits of Reading

2019-10-03T18:10:00.000-07:00

There are so many benefits for everyone to read. Below are just a few:

1. Reading activates the brain in a way watching shows can’t. Apart from being good for your mental health, guarding against diseases like Alzheimers, it improves mental flexibility.

2. Reading opens your world. There are so many experiences and worlds to discover through reading. Pick up a book, and you're there.

3. Reading improves your vocabulary. With a bigger vocabulary, you'll find it easier to express yourself, easier to engage with people and connect.

4. Reading can blow your mind. So much can be learned through reading. You'll come across new ideas, new concepts, new everything through reading.

5. Reading reduces stress. Sit in a quiet corner and read for 30 mins and you'll find all those stresses just melt away. Even if you read somewhere busy, all that noise will vanish when you're reading a good book.

6. Reading supports the book industry, and it supports your favourite authors.

My Book, Wielder's Prize, is now available for Pre-order. Pick up your copy today because on launch day, the price will be going up.
