In a realm where nobody knows who to trust, the one constant in Lyrani Esch's life is her job as an agent for the Elven Council of Irylen Secret Intelligence (ECISI). It's easy enough to ignore the rumours about the villainy of the elf king Nash. People call it "The Curse of the Crown", but it's all hearsay. At least until Lyrani is assigned a mission to confront it. Her objectives are simple - get into Vlitavia Palace, gather intelligence on King Nash's operations, kill him and get out. But assignments are never as easy as they sound, and the stars are against Lyrani from the start. The deeper Lyrani delves into Nash's present, the more she learns of her past. With her startling discoveries comes the realisation that she must free Nash from a vicious trap or forfeit the realm and both their lives in the name of the curse. Because destinies entwined are never easily separated.

Being an adult was hard for Avery. Showing up on time? Not likely. Paying bills? Last possible minute. Doing Laundry? Everything got the sniff test. Yes, everything. She always wanted to be a comedian. She would tell jokes to anyone. Standing in line at the grocery store, she told banana jokes. Shopping for undies, she told other banana jokes. A disastrous appearance on reality TV ended her comedy career and forced her to take a desk job. Avery went from telling jokes to being the joke. Feeling vulnerable and alone, she began experiencing debilitating panic attacks.  For most people, this would be the end of a disastrous adventure, but for Avery, this is where the story begins.  Her mother's death and a box of her grandmother's papers propel her to find a family that she never knew existed. She hires Tony, a handsome Italian translator who needs help with English. That's right. She hires a translator who barely speaks her language. As they travel across Europe, they uncover her family's fortune and find themselves in the middle of international espionage.  Just as Avery lets Tony in, she learns that he has secrets as well. In a pivotal moment, she must decide if she can trust this man she barely knows with her family's fortune. Will he betray her and keep the fortune for himself?
