Wicked Ink Publishing is thrilled to welcome Liesel von Stackelberg and her haunting debut novel, What We Left Behind. A dark sorcery fantasy set in the treacherous city of the Bazaar, where memories are stolen and monsters walk in daylight. When young magician Rionach Prendergast awakens with no past and a deadly sorcerer known as the Butcher hunting her, she’s thrust into a world of blood rites, cursed magic, and forgotten gods. As she allies with a rebel coven and unravels the truth of her power, Rionach must confront a terrifying legacy buried deep within. Steeped in folklore, emotional depth, and mythic tension, von Stackelberg’s debut is a spellbinding tale of identity, found family, and the shadows we carry—and sometimes become.
