Please follow so you don't forget to come back and enjoy the show, with weekly releases of a new chapter each Wednesday, and a bonus author chat episode every Friday with C.J. Sparrow about that week's chapter.

The book is already released, but this will be the audiobook/drama version! I can't wait to share the story with you.

A prophecy. A kingdom at war. And a girl who refuses to be controlled.

Tovey has spent her life as a servant, isolated and powerless. Now, she’s on the run. Fleeing the Collective, she knows she may not survive the Tenbris, a deadly, uncharted forest where defectors are hunted. When she is forced to return to the Kingdom of Abolend, she resigns herself to a fate she cannot escape.

Until she hears the prophecy.

King Mallum is hunting a demon destined to bring chaos—one born under mysterious circumstances that mirror her birth. If the prophecy is true, she will become a threat to everything she loves. Desperate to protect her people and herself, she flees once more.

To stop the prophecy, she must strike a deal with the one person who holds her fate—Prince Cullus of Abolend. In exchange for her freedom, she must infiltrate the enemy kingdom and prevent the final war. But as she crosses into enemy lands, she begins to unlock a magic she never knew she possessed and a power she may not be able to control.
As battle lines blur, Tovey must decide whom to trust before it's too late. One wrong choice could cost her freedom, her life, and the fate of Valledera itself.

Perfect for fans of dark YA fantasy, fantasy dystopia, strong female leads, and fast-paced storytelling, Tolerant delivers high-stakes adventure, immersive writing, and a deeply compelling exploration of identity and power—all through the lens of an Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) neurodiverse protagonist with a romance subplot.Grab the book anywhere books are sold.
