In a time when differences serve only to divide, the existence of a woman, Reina, defies it all, blurring lines between right and wrong. Reina was never born to take the crown, yet a single sin leads her to the seat of glory. That sin Johannes von Eisenwald now wishes to undo, a sin committed by a man born to bring down the monarch. In a world scarred by war, can one be both redeemer and executioner? Can a choir of dissonance find its rhythm in a divided world? Dissonance is a historical romance set in the ruins of a fallen monarchy, where love and betrayal weigh heavier than war. This is a story for you who love slow burn, yearning, morally gray characters and forbidden romance. General Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

After her grandfather's passing, Erna's peaceful countryside life is flipped on its head by a mountain of unexpected debt. She sets off to the city of Lechen in search of a father she hardly knows, but instead of receiving a warm welcome, Erna's swept up in his elaborate schemes and tossed into the city's unforgiving marriage market.

His aid, however, comes with a warning-he cautions her against consuming the poisonous mushroom. As Erna stands at the crossroads of her life, she's faced with a choice: Does she dare swallow poison in the hope of a brighter future, or is it better to resign herself to a destined fate?
