Indie Author and Founder of Indies & Ink
Welcome, traveler! I’m Brittany Hymes, author, ink-spiller, and founder of Indies & Ink.
I’ve been running away into my own stories for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I never plan on coming back! Writing has always been my secret doorway out of reality. When I first wrote Imprisoned, I was a teen who couldn’t get enough of books like The Hunger Games and Divergent. I wanted to be strong like Katniss, fearless like Tris… so I created Alaster to take those epic adventures for me. She was bold, stubborn, and still figuring herself out, just like I was. Now, I see writing as more than escape. It’s my adventure. When I write, I’m not just imagining bravery, I am brave. I am fearless. So far, I’ve unleashed The Imprisoned Trilogy into the world, but I’m brewing up my next big journey, a fantasy trilogy inspired by the seven deadly sins and bursting with Egyptian vibes. It’s coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
Until then, you can dive into my books, snag some merch, or hop over to my Amazon and social links. Adventure’s waiting, let’s go!

Coming Soon
In a land of magic and Fae, a young human assassin and her group compete in a competition of bravery, intellect, strength, and merit called the Trials of Ilithia. Although sure that they are prepared for the trials, they quickly learn that it is more than they bargained for when some unexpected outsiders come to compete against them. Filled with hate and rage from the visitors, they must now navigate not only the deadly trials but their new obstacle as well.
As young Cleo starts what she thought was her life’s purpose, she begins to see herself in a new light. Things she once hated become her greatest strengths.
Will Cleo be victories in the Trials of Ilithia? Or fall short of her purpose?
