Brittany Hymes
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.
As a multi-genre author, I’ve brought to life a dystopian future trilogy that follows a young woman’s journey from an innocent prisoner to a fighter for good.
If fantasy is more your style, check out my latest release, Trials of Ilithia. In this story, we follow a young assassin named Cleo as she faces a series of deadly trials on a remote island, inspired by Egyptian mythology and the seven deadly sins.
Book two is 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!
By the Author
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 victorious in the Trials of Ilithia? Or fall short of her purpose?
May your journey be kind and your victory be swift.
