"You look so beautiful, tied up like that," he breathes into my ear. A shiver runs down my spine and I'm not sure if it was in pleasure or fear. I had no clue there was this side of him. When I met him, he seemed so gentle, so sweet. If only she knew. If only I knew. . . . If Edyn's life had been a painting, it would have been the most bleak, boring, and monotonous picture ever. Every day she went to work in her boring office with the same boring people. That is until the CEO of her company, Ailani Byrnes, walks into her office with her bright tie, bright hair, and even brighter eyes. One drive was all it took for her to fall head over boring old heels for her. As Edyn becomes closer with this dazzling woman, her world gets flipped on its tedious little axis and she is thrust into a world of color, confusion, and longing as Ailani's secrets spill over and paint the canvas of Edyn's world.

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ] Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE
