About Still Waters Run Deep
Living in the peaceful village of Laugar, she keeps her water affinity hidden from everyone. Including the people closest to her.
Asta’s life changes forever when she is forced to leave her home and is kidnapped by a hidden group of elemental affinities, known as Velum.
In Velum, Asta encounters other young people like herself. Rather than hiding their elemental powers, they embrace them. For better or worse.
Asta soon learns that things at Velum aren’t as they seem. She has to endure the domineering ways of Gatira, Velum’s creator. Gatira is a curious, undead scholar, who seeks not only to enhance the elemental powers of the affinities she looks after, but to serve her own controlling self interests. And she is a force Asta must choose to serve under, or to reckon with.
Dive into a world of elemental magik, secrets, evolving friendships, and blossoming romances. ‘Still Waters Run Deep’ is the debut young adult, full-length novel by Australian author, MG Hunt.

About Darkness in the Flesh: The Story of Gatira
Seventeen-year-old Gatira has spent her life in hiding, feared by others for the dark magik that lives inside her. But when a single act of rebellion sends her to live with the grandmother she never knew, Gatira discovers a truth her parents tried to bury: her power is not a curse. Rather, it’s a legacy.
Drawn into a world of forbidden magik, portal travel, and formidable friendships, Gatira finally begins to understand who she is meant to become. But the Colourful Citadel has its own plans for her. When a powerful Oskura wielder, a surprise family member, claims Gatira as her protégé, she is thrust into a gilded prison where freedom comes at a devastating cost.
As the need for knowledge and destiny collide, Gatira must decide what she is willing to sacrifice, and who she is willing to become, to break the cycle of confinement and carve out a future for affinities like her.
And when she finally seizes her chance, she sets out to build something society fears most: a place where she and similar affinities can live unbound.
Darkness in the Flesh is a prequel to MG Hunt’s debut novel, Still Waters Run Deep, and delves into Gatira’s tumultuous history. Hers is a tale of hidden power, legacy, and embracing the darkness within.
