Promised to a prince she's never met, Princess Nadalia has spent her life being prepared to leave the only home she's ever known. At her side, always in the shadows, stands Ethan - the king's most trusted knight, heir to a fallen hero and bound by an oath he refuses to break. Once, they were just children racing through castle halls, watching dragons burn the sky and swearing silly little promises over scraped knees and starlight. Now she is eighteen, he is the blade at her father's right hand, and the distance between them feels sharper than any sword. As the day of her betrothal draws closer and enemies stir beyond the kingdom's walls, Ethan must choose which vow he means to keep: the one he made to his king... or the one he's been silently keeping to her, ever since the night his world burned.

She has lived for one hundred and fifty years and never once felt alive. Vesper, daughter of the immortal and fearsome Lord Draconius the Eternal, has spent her endless life lurking at the edges of the human world from the shadows of Crimsonpeak. Watching. Wondering. Yearning for something she cannot name. But when she slips away from her ancient mountain kingdom and ventures into the broken, starving streets of Thyrandor she finds something she never expected. A girl. Briar is beautiful, sharp eyed and surviving by any means necessary. Owned by a woman with cold hands and colder ambitions, passed between sailors and travellers like a coin, she has long forgotten what it feels like to be truly seen by anyone. She has built walls so high around herself that she has forgotten there was ever anything worth protecting inside them. Until Vesper. But darkness is spreading across the land like a plague with no cure. Lord Belphegor and his merciless minions are ravaging the human world soul by soul and the corrupt tyrants of Thyrandor are selling their own people to feed his insatiable hunger. Two women from opposite worlds must navigate love, betrayal, war and survival in a kingdom that wants them both destroyed. Some wars are fought with swords. Some are fought with the heart. And some scars run deeper than fang marks. 🖤
