Award Recognition: Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award and a Christian Book Excellence Award.
THE DAWNING
The Amaris Prophecies, Book One
The enchanted world of Amaris emerges from divine creation—a realm bound by the power of Ruach, yet divided by free will and ambition.
When the dark queen Sathariel rises, unleashing Resha—the destructive power opposing Ruach—the Elnathan Prophecy summons three Yasha from Earth into a world of dragons, oceanic citadels, and ancient forests.
To defeat the spreading darkness, they must forge the Fylakistone from sacred Sambandh rock, infused with their blood and Ruach’s power—at heartbreaking cost.
An epic of creation, temptation, sacrifice, unity across worlds, and the triumph of light over encroaching darkness.

“Nauman's imagination is truly remarkable, her writing skill is impressive, and Amaris feels expansive enough to sustain many more stories. A wonderfully creative beginning to an epic fantasy series!”
“The Dawning is a sincere, imaginative fantasy about turning grief into purpose, resisting the appeal of control, and finding strength in people whose lives and beliefs differ from your own.”
