Xena Solaria Caelvarys is the First Princess of the empire.. born of the First Empress, feared, obeyed, and despised. With her status alone, she forced a marriage to Grey Ashborne Valcrest, a ruthless duke's son whose loyalty belongs only to the battlefield. She got the man she wanted. But never his heart. Their wedding night ends in humiliation, hatred, and words that carve deeper than any blade. For the first time in her life, Xena is denied.. not by power, but by contempt. When she wakes the next morning, everything changes. Memories of another life return. A life where she earned respect instead of demanding it. A life where she died protecting someone she loved. Realizing how ugly her reputation has become, Xena decides this life will not be trashed away. Not to chase affection. Not to beg for love. Be the Empress Regent. As rival princesses scheme, nobles whisper, and the throne looms closer than ever, the empire is about to meet a very different Xena. Not softer. Not kinder. But sharper, wiser, and far more dangerous.

~ It is by Mene's word that new age has been born, a new world ~ Ezekiel Ruiz was unwillingly stuck between two worlds. He was a wild and that was where he found the most comfort, lost in the darkness while his wolf took over. But Amelia's Blessing had his wolf barring the darkness from him, refusing him his familiar comfort, the compulsion to find the viper he mated to screaming without the pain to drown it out. At times he felt like the blessing was a curse. ~ Change is always hard, and it is in our nature as wolves to fight it ~ Julieta Esperanza Valentina Cruz had always played by the rules, it was what she had been taught, it was what was fair. She had lived by them. Except that doesn't work when others refuse to play fair. Her brother's best friend banished from the pack, a fight but not. Then the moon saw fit to pair her with the victor and the world showed just how unfair it could be. Banished from her home, struggling to survive in a world that felt callous and cruel, Julieta struggled to hold onto hope but as the years dragged on it got harder and harder. Her hope disappeared entirely when the illegal rogues found her and took her. Sometimes she wished Mene's love wasn't so brutal. ~ But Mene guides us in our lives, listen to her loving whispers, she never gives us more than we can withstand ~ A singular night changes everything. Ezekiel makes a choice that topples his world into the clinging dredges of the past and Julieta comes face to face with a male she had once had a foolish little crush on what feels like lifetimes ago. However as they navigate the treacherous waters they have been flung into, they both learn that home is not a simple place, it's where you make it, and who you make it with. ~ You will reach your destiny, Mene wills it. ~

Ancient Blood Series Book 3 ~ Rhia reached the top of the ridge just as the column of flames dissipated and the rest of the dragons landed. A chorus of their songs shook the earth in a way she'd never heard before. It was full of elation, and triumph, and love. At the center of the crater was Nekros's huge black form. With him, entwined in a loving embrace, was another dragon. One that Rhia had never met but knew instantly. Bright red feathers, and under glow of orange and yellow magic, and fire-red eyes. It was her. It was Phoenix. She was alive.
