White Change: The Sources of Shantor
Fear stole his family. Lies shaped her crown.
Now, destiny binds them to a truth that will save Shantor-or shatter it.

Wylen Falconer was just a boy when he was forced into exile-haunted by loss, hunted for the power of his violet blood. In the shadows of the forbidden Oro lands, he discovers a truth buried by history: the enemy the Cynth declared extinct is not only alive, but rising-and preparing for war.

Princess Sitara Dawn knows all about cages. Behind the gilded walls of the Cynth palace, she walks a dangerous line between her loyalty to her people and the brutal rule of her uncle. Her only power is the truth she's not supposed to know-and the courage to act on it.

When Wylen returns, hunted and scarred, the balance of power shifts. An ancient prophecy rises. A forbidden alliance is born. And a powerful relic-the Necklace of Tresraya-may be the only thing that can stop a new war from swallowing Shantor whole.

However, peace has a price.
When truth is forbidden, rebellion is destiny.

Magic. Betrayal. Romance.
A world where light and dark are not so easily defined.

This isn't a love story. It's a war story... with a pulse.

White Change begins the epic journey.

About the Author

For over 20 years, Joelle (J. M. Kelts) has been building the world of Shantor—a realm born from a whisper of imagination and nurtured into a sweeping fantasy epic filled with elemental magic, ancient prophecies, and unforgettable characters like Wylen, Sitara, Reuel, and Elide. She didn’t just write their stories—she lived them. Felt them in her bones. Listened as their voices guided the unfolding of a world both vast and intimate.
But storytelling is only part of her calling.

As a life coach, trauma alchemist, and somatic practitioner, Joelle has spent years walking alongside women on their healing journeys—helping them reclaim power, uncover truth, and come home to themselves. This deep soul work—the sacred art of holding space, witnessing pain, and honoring transformation—has shaped her storytelling in profound ways.

Because great stories, like deep healing, require presence. They demand an understanding of human complexity: grief, longing, courage, and hope.

That’s the heart of The Sources of Shantor.

The first novel in the series, White Change, is more than a fantasy—it’s a bridge between myth and memory, fiction and feeling. It’s the culmination of two decades of dreaming and daring to believe in magic.

This is just the beginning. Welcome to Shantor.
