For a place called Fairhaven, Davina Harlow's hometown is a haven for nothing but corruption. No matter how pretty things look from the outside, deception rots at the core. It waits around every corner, touches everything she loves, and the presence of a small criminal organization plants seeds of doubt where she wishes only happiness could grow. All she's ever dreamed of is the carefree life she was promised, to keep her family close by and live happily ever after with the guy she's had her eye on for as long as she can remember. But when something sinister lies behind every smile and no one's who they say they are, that dream has never felt so out of reach. Even as she tries to separate herself from the darkness of her once beloved hometown, Davina only finds herself more immersed in the lies and greed that have destroyed it. And with love and loyalty being tested at every turn, she's left trying to figure out what's real amidst smoky truths and scattered feelings. All while trying to stay alive.

She married a ten-year-old king to save a kingdom that was already dying. No one told her why the kings of Eridug-Ki never live to grow old. No one told her what sleeps beneath the ziggurat, or what the god was promised, or why every crown is really a debt. She came south with a mission and a secret carved into her own skin, and she was the only one in the palace not lying about something. Then she fell in love with the one man she was never supposed to touch. And the marriage oath that binds her soul began, very quietly, to crack. A boy-king who hears the dead whisper through clay. A bastard who has spent ten years pretending to be no one. A sister doing terrible arithmetic with a city's worth of lives. A god that does not bless, 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴. Four people. One throne. Forty days until the night it all comes apart. They think they're saving the world. One of them is right. That's the problem. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘴 --- 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘖𝘯𝘦.

Part one: Complete In the world of Veridia, there were those with magic and those without. They lived separately, magi in Aetheria and non-magi in Terramore. They coexisted peacefully, with the gates of both kingdoms open. That was until twenty years ago, when the new king of Terramore came to power. He sought to wipe out the magi, and Aetheria and Terramore plunged headfirst into a war. The gates closed, and the two kingdoms drew their weapons. Violence burst out, across the border and within. The bastard prince from Aetheria. An assassin from Terramore. Will they be enough to bring the kingdoms together? Or will Veridia fall, burned by its own fire? Part two: As Veridia itself settles, civil unrest is brewing in another country. A prince must find a wife, and the high court is much more treacherous than it seems. There is trouble at every turn, from meddlesome foreign kings to viper-like ladies in competition. Can an assassin-turned-lady navigate through courtly games as deftly as she did through war? Or will she need help from the most unexpected of sources... Trigger Warning: contains descriptions of violence and colorful language
