With 26 illustrations, Oakenmeer is an epic fantasy novel for young adult and above readers who appreciate a story with elements of various sub-genres, such as sword and sorcery, magical realism, world building and esoteric fantasy.

Oakenmeer is a world of wooden people, and Fortia is the tempestuous teen daughter of two nut oil millers. She dreams of a life of adventure but feels lost in the monotony of farming nuts in the enormous forests of Macadamia. One day, the king dies under suspicious circumstances. Against her parents' wishes, Fortia sneaks out of the house to attend Prince Tonitro's coronation. In each of the five Surviving Kingdoms, a royal must prove they are worthy of the crown by crushing the Golden Nugget, a magical object that can only be crushed in the jaws of the future king or queen. After the ceremony Fortia finds a piece of this nugget, but little does she know, she just found the evidence needed to prove the king was murdered.

She soon learns that her father is a knight in the Ordo Nux Aurea, a secret Order sworn to protect the origins of the Golden Nugget. Troops are sent to arrest Fortia and her parents, but she escapes. Using the tools hidden inside her family home, she joins three knights of The Order on an epic quest. The clock is ticking though. Tonitro lacks the wisdom of his father, and he plans to invade the neighboring kingdoms of Pignoli and Pecan.

Fortia survives innumerable challenges during her journey through Oakenmeer. She defies death at the Southern Gorge and protects a friend in the mysterious Dry Woods. An ambush takes a heavy toll in the terrifying Grasslands. In the Unbroken Woods she uses the ancient tools of The Order to survive before finding the Crystal Tower. Traversing the Kingdom of Roots, a new friendship begins with a creature from a long-forgotten time.

Kings, queens, peasants and magical creatures all assist her in this epic struggle to save her parents and correct the wrongs of her kingdom. It is a journey that will change her young life and put her on the path towards a grand but uncertain future.
