Dark Worlds.

Twisted Heroines.

Stories That Haunt You.

Welcome to Flawed Realms—a universe where kingdoms, relics, and morally gray characters collide. If you’re drawn to fierce heroines who embrace, not run from, their flaws, shadowy secrets, and worlds stitched together by a bit of magic and a healthy dose of revenge, then you’re in the right place.

I created Flawed Realms for readers who love fantasy with depth, thrillers with bite, and lore with hidden layers. The realm is where my stories come to life beyond the pages of my books. On the Flawed Realms site, I crafted immersive content, behind-the-scenes worldbuilding, quizzes, interactive maps, short stories, and free exclusive downloads. It’s not just a realm—it’s an experience. 

FLAWED REALMS is the heart of my fictional multiverse—an evolving, ever-changing world that stretches beyond genres and generations. 

It is home to the Thorne Chronicles’ royal prophecies and rebel queens. The dark academia rivalries and secrets that haunt the halls of Perpetual Mercy School for Young Women’s PMS Girls Saga also thrive in the realm. 

At the center of it all is Zelinda’s Vault—the secret place located far beneath Zelinda’s Tids & Bits Shop—where relics, tales, poems, and maps related to my books and characters are curated. 

Flawed Realms is a reader’s portal to the secrets that I couldn’t fit on the pages of my books. A place where imagination and creativity can thrive and evolve… And the items change each month.

Of course, I have help running the realm. My faithful furry rescue pup is always ready to lend a paw. And, Zelinda is most helpful in curating and cataloguing the realm’s relics. Professor Chester P. Puddlewig is a fellow Realm Wanderer and fancies himself the realm’s historian.

What You Will Find Inside the Realm...

Zelinda's Vault

Explore unearthed relics from the kingdom of Iosia (Thorne Chronicles), read the lore-rich short stories tied to the relics, and the forgotten truths that Zelinda reflects on in a way that only she can. All of these items are stored in Zelinda’s Vault. Inventory rotates, with new relics being placed on display often.

From dark fantasy and thriller book recommendations, fun bookish quizzes, to author updates and lore tales, the Flawed Realms Blog is written by the Realm Keeper’s (aka your favorite author, Lisa Alfano).

Yes, there is an entire section in the realm dedicated to bookish fun & games.
