(Book 2 in the fantasy series The Crowns) The land of Escarral has changed in the past year for Alyvia with her mother now sitting on the throne. Lyv's mission in infiltrating the Fae land of Dalcaine has finally come. Now, in the capital city of Ayveri, she and her oath-sworn guardsmen and friend Gideon must find a way into the lives of the royal family and, most importantly, closer to Jai, the Crown Prince. With her magic finally free and stronger than before, it doesn't take long for her to attract the attention of the prince...but the wrong one. In the Fae land, Lyv's past, both recent and distant, are quick to catch up with her. And with an impending invasion of Escarrali forces, Lyv must be careful of the bonds she forms and help save a land that is more important to her than she ever knew before.

(Book 1 in the fantasy series The Crowns) Alyvia is the youngest daughter of the king of Escarral, a land where magic is feared and hidden amongst the humans who possess it...and just happens to be one of those humans herself. When Lyv befriends a mapmaker and warrior from another land, she finds the friendship and belonging she's yearned for without having to hide. Amory is an emissary from Dalcaine, a land ruled by Fae and one Escarral had been at war with just twenty years before. Along with his best and oldest friend Gideon, he works alongside the Escarrali king in opening relations between the two continents. He was anticipating doing his job and going back home, not irrevocably tying himself to the human lands after meeting Lyv, one of the most powerful humans he'd ever come across. With her magic growing, Lyv gains help in controlling and mastering it with Amory's help. Amory has secrets of his own, though, including one that involves Dalcaine's Crown Prince Jai. But with rebellion brewing right under the king's nose at the hands of the queen, Lyv must fight to keep everything she loves safe or risk losing it all.
