The sky once broke. And the world has been bleeding ever since. Centuries after the Sundering shattered the Veil, the realms cling to fragile order, guarded by angels, ruled by faith, and haunted by the corruption festering beyond the Veilscar. Magic is no longer a gift. It is a risk. A whisper. A slow descent into something unrecognizable. She was raised to believe the Veil must be protected at all costs. To obey. To serve. To never question. But when a mission into the scarlands goes wrong, she survives something no one else does-and begins to feel the very force she was sworn to fear. Drawn between a future king forged in duty... and a Veil-touched power that should not exist... She will have to choose: Save the world as it is... Or become the reason it changes forever.

BOOK ONE of The Breath of Aethriel Princess Serétha has spent her life being polished, paraded, and prepared to become a political sacrifice - a sacred "union" meant to bind kingdoms under the gods' gaze. But on the eve of her fate being sealed, Serétha runs. The wilds beyond the palace are not freedom - they are hunger, cruelty, and the kind of darkness stories never warn you about. And Serétha isn't just being hunted by men who believe they own her... she's being pulled toward something she doesn't understand - something old, forbidden, and waking inside her blood. A thief with too much charm. A prince with a devotion sharp enough to cut. A world ruled by gods who do not forgive. Serétha wanted a choice. Now she has one - and it might burn Aethriel to the bone.

What do you do when the dead won't leave you alone - and neither will the king who consumes souls? Clara Peri has never known a quiet life. Since childhood, the dead have found her - whispering, pleading, showing her the things no living person bothered to witness. She has learned to carry their secrets carefully. She has learned to ask for nothing. She has learned, above all else, to make herself invisible. When the hundred-year peace treaty between the human kingdom and the demon world comes due, Clara is stripped of everything she has ever known and sent across a dark sea as a sacrifice to Azkiel - the Demon King who survives by consuming the souls of the living. He expects a sacrifice. Clara strikes a bargain: she will use her ability to speak with the dead and help Azkiel uncover the truth behind his mother's mysterious death. In return, he will stop killing the innocent. It should be simple. But it's not. Because the deeper they dig into the darkness of his mother's past, the more dangerous the truth becomes - and somewhere between the dead and the demon, the lines Clara drew to keep herself safe begin to blur. Now she must survive a demon world, a king who obsessively unsettles her more than any ghost ever has, and a secret that was buried for a reason. Some debts are paid in blood. Some are paid in something far more costly.

Dragged from the mortal world into a realm of dangerous courts, old bargains, and beautiful monsters, Jade must survive long enough to find a way home. Before the fae decide whether she is a girl worth saving... or a weapon worth claiming.
