At Basgiath, secrets burn as fiercely as dragons, and Alyra Tauri is carrying more than anyone realizes: stolen intel, a fractured loyalty, and a power that could unravel the empire itself. With the wards failing and rebellion stirring in the dark, every step she takes pulls her closer to the truth her father tried to bury. Xaden Riorson lives in the shadows-wingleader, weapon, and threat wrapped into one. He is everything Alyra was warned against, and everything she can't stay away from. Tethered by fate and forged through fire, their bond is as dangerous as it is irresistible. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Alyra must decide what she's willing to burn for-because some fires don't destroy. They illuminate.

The night Rosy was born, a comet passed over the earth. Only visible from a handful of states, clouds filling the skies, it was a miracle her mother saw it through the window of the ambulance. But she not only saw it, she named her baby girl after it. Rosy's comet. It only visited once every eleven years. However, after her mother pulled a runner, Rosy's father dedicated the first eleven years of her life to a thorough education in fear and disappointment. He put on a good front, but when the doors were closed, the masks came off. The next time Rosy's comet passed overhead, the world she knew came crashing down. But she survived, and that's what mattered - even if she only had the stars, her sisters, and Grube left to guide her. And then there was Luke, her unexpected angel of hope who'd kept her fighting when it seemed impossible, who'd picked her up in the aftermath of her darkest moments. He'd shown her what real love looked like, what it felt like. And she'd fallen for him slowly, steadily, until she'd lost sight entirely of where her soul ended and his began. But on the night everything was supposed to change, the night they were supposed to start their forever, the night Rosy's comet returned for a third time - Luke, her best friend, her confidante, the love of her life... her groom... didn't show. And Rosy discovered firsthand that there's only so much disappointment a soul can take before the damage becomes irreversible. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven (2) To Destroy a Raven (3) To Betray a Raven (4) To Crave a Raven (5) To Lose a Raven Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

Cassandra Shaw, the heir to the renowned Shaw estate, has finally become eligible for marriage, allowing her to take over her father's clan. The monster-hunting clan is in distress due to his recent demise, and they need a brave and determined leader who'll take over. Unfortunately, she keeps refusing the advances of every single suitor, waiting for her true love. As time goes by, she starts believing she'll never find him, and eventually, she starts giving up, ready for any prospects that will enable her to preserve the future of her clan. Then, she remembers a prophecy in her dreams - a prophecy that might just help her solve everything - and two men, different as night and day, come to her like they were ordered. Hyacinth and Edmund Lawrence. Two brothers with a growing distance between them. A brooding rebel and a natural socialite. Both speak to a side of her she's connected to deeply. Both fascinate her from the day she meets them. Both seem destined to be the love of her life. Yet one will save her, and one will ruin her. The question remains: Which is which? *** 45. "Kings have honor, soldiers are brave, poets have heart, and all I have is rage!" (Sound by Naethan Apollo) 46. "We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you." (A slightly modified quote from "Daisy Jones & The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid) 115. A prophecy claims you will love two people. One destined to save your life and the other destined to destroy it. The trouble is, you have no idea which is which.

Some loves are born in sunlight. Others grow in the shadow of war. Astrea Ysoria was supposed to heal, not kill. Her hands were meant for mending bones, not gripping daggers. But war orphans don't get the luxury of choice-and when you're the daughter of the general who signed death warrants for rebels, your gentleness becomes a liability the moment you step foot in the Riders Quadrant. What breaks her isn't the bridge designed to kill soft things like her. It's him. Xaden Riorson. Five years of silence. Five years of pretending they never existed to each other. Five years of learning to hate what they used to love. But some bonds refuse to break, even when they should. Even when loving him is treason. Even when every touch feels like betrayal and every heartbeat whispers enemy. This is what happens when war takes children and forges them into weapons. When the only person who ever saw you as whole is the one person you're supposed to destroy. This is a love story. It's also a war story. Sometimes, those are the same thing.

In a kingdom ruled by ruthless trials, ancient magic, and watching crowns, only the strongest survive. She was never meant to be one of them. But when fate drags her into the royal trials, survival becomes her only choice. Then there's him. Cold. Dangerous. Unreadable. The kind of boy who looks like he was carved from winter and secrets. He's supposed to be her rival. Her problem. Her greatest mistake. Instead, he becomes the one person she can't stop looking for in every room. But in a world where power decides everything, trust is a gamble... and love might be the deadliest risk of all. Because the trials aren't just testing strength. They're testing who's brave enough to break. Welcome to BRAVER. A dark fantasy romance with dangerous trials, slow-burn tension, and a heroine who refuses to fall quietly.

They're the only thing that makes the fall worth surviving. Now everything she ran from is closing in. Not to crown her- but to break her. Fate doesn't ask permission. Destiny doesn't wait for peace. And not every heir wants the throne... ...but some are born to burn-and some will burn the world to protect the people they love.
