(BOOK #3 in the Secrets of Aristol series.) A month after Eldon's knighting ceremony, things seem relatively safe and sound... until they aren't. Elouise and Eldon decide it is finally time for them to set out to find Beatrice's secret in the Southern Eastern mountains. But they will not be going alone. Henry is coming along for the added support they are surely going to need. Traversing the hidden horrors of the mountains will reveal more about themselves and the kingdom than they ever wished to know. To make matters worse, they must face the consequences of their journey once they make it back home. But if there's anything they should fear, it's themselves.

A woman cannot rule the Kingdom of Vivelle. If a king should only have daughters, then the princesses are to participate in a Queens Trial. A series of tests to see who is most worthy of becoming the Queen Victorious. The Winning daughter will marry a suitor of the king's choosing. Once married, her husband will become king. The losing queens will be sacrificed back to the people as punishment for their ancestor's crimes. Or more specifically, the crimes of the Mad Queen. ... Princess Illyana is the eldest of the king's five daughters. In a few days time, the Queens Trial will begin and there are only two possible outcomes. The first is she will fail and get sacrificed. The second is she will win and be forcibly wed to a cruel man and live the rest of her life knowing she is alive because her sisters are dead. Illyana wants more. She wants to rule the Kingdom of Vivelle with her sisters by her side. She only has a few days left to come up with a plan before the Trial begins. With the whole kingdom watching eagerly to see which daughter wins, it is going to be almost impossible for Illyana to change the minds of a nation so that she can sit on the throne. Warning! Rated Mature as there will be violence, gore and themes of a sexual nature. Lots of parts, but not long chapters. :)

(BOOK #2 in the Secrets of Aristol series.) It's almost been three months since Elouise's birthday. Although she's kept herself distracted by Beatrice's past, she's left with more questions. Perhaps she isn't concentrating hard enough. After all, she's still waiting for the one who may never come back. She can only hope the answers will come faster than she fears. When Eldon returned home, he thought he would be back by Elouise's side within a month. He fell back into his old routine instead. But he hasn't stopped thinking about her and what they managed to discover together. Then his village is attacked, and he finds himself back at her side, reminded of the awakened ability within him he's tried to avoid. He only hopes things will start making more sense this time. If anything's worth hoping for, though, it's that Eldon will finally believe. But he won't be the only one forced to face the secrets of the kingdom.
