COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.

"Listen to me, Fay," he says gently, his voice softening as he steps back towards her, placing his hand on her cheek, his touch warm and reassuring. "That is exactly the reason that I have to do this." He looks deeply into her eyes, his own filled with conviction. "Nobody deserves to get hurt for nothing. A life is a life that's meant to be lived, not taken away." The Kingdom of Alicon, often dismissed as a mere myth by most, was a realm steeped in enchantment and mystery. This extraordinary land was divided into Four distinct Kingdoms, each ruled by a King-Brothers who, despite their shared blood, harboured their own ambitions and desires. At the heart stood Fay, Alicon's most formidable Witch. Known far and wide for her unparalleled mastery of the arcane arts, she was not just a protector of her kingdom but also a beacon of hope for her people. As she prepared to plunge into the depths of the looming conflict, Fay steeled herself for the trials ahead. Her heart raced, fueled by a potent mix of determination and dread. Would she be able to protect them? Would the bonds of brotherhood among the kings withstand the storm brewing on the horizon? Fay was about to learn that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought not just with spells and swords, but within the heart itself.

The last Havenwood was never meant to survive.

As the line between truth and illusion blurs, Briar uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than blood. The real threat isn't beyond the border-it's within the Capital itself. And falling for the wrong man might be the key to either her salvation... or her undoing. First Book in the Crown of Embers Series.

Rheanyra Silvarra has always known what it means to survive. Born to a disgraced noble house and branded a rebellion relic before she could walk, she's spent her life training in the shadows, carrying the ghosts of Aretia and the weight of a past no one dares speak of. At Basgiath War College, she's not just another first-year crossing the Parapet-she's a threat. And everyone knows it. Especially Xaden Riorson. They've known each other too long, fought side by side in silence, and now face each other across squad lines with carefully constructed masks. Their hatred is a language only they speak-a shield against the danger of letting anyone too close. Because walls are safer than attachments. Safer than hope. Thrown into Fourth Wing under Xaden's command, Nyra finds herself surrounded by enemies, allies she doesn't trust, and a squad that's as fractured as her heart. With every glance, Xaden dares her to fall back. With every order, he reminds her who holds power. But she didn't survive the slaughter of Aretia to be silenced. As dragons descend and the deadly crucible of Basgiath begins, Nyra must face not only the dangers of Threshing and the brutal hierarchy of the Riders Quadrant, but the truth she's buried for years. Because war is coming. Secrets are stirring. And for rebellion kids like Nyra and Xaden? Survival was only the beginning. XadenXoc
