The only way to break the curse...is to kill the one you love. Alyenna was never meant for our world. They stole her. One moment, she is surviving the life she knows on Earth. The next, she awakens in Tendaara. A world of ancient magic, living steel, and creatures that should not exist. She does not know what she is. Tendaara does. In Tendaara, magic is not a gift. It is a part of you. A part of the world itself. Here, you do not just forge blades. You forge souls. Power here does not come freely. It is earned. through training, through survival, through spite, and the will to never let go. Alyenna did not escape her keeper. She was moved. To a world where he has more power, and to where the Queen who owns them all reigns. Scelestra the Queen of Many Faces walks unseen, wearing the form of the ones you trust most. One touch is all it takes. One moment of hesitation. One question. One loss of control. The General Aethorien misses nothing. Not a moment. Not an opportunity. Not a chance to shape her into the weapon the world will need to survive him. Because in Tendaara, power always asks for something in return. The more it grows, the harder it becomes to choose who survives, and who pays the price.

In a land of magical spirits and northern lights, two wounded souls find rest and healing in each other. Rieta Tristi has known nothing but hardship: her husband died of the plague, her young daughter was stolen away by slave traders, and now the cruel Lord Casarius, who had long coveted Rieta as a mistress, has ordered on his deathbed that she be buried alive with him. Her heart already shattered by grief, Rieta has little will to resist her grim fate-until the womanizing tyrant of the north, Archduke Killian Axias, suddenly appears and whisks her away. To Rieta's surprise, the cold and ruthless archduke turns out to be not only sympathetic, but deeply thoughtful and caring. As the leaves change and temperatures drop, Rieta warms up to her unexpected savior, who has been grieving a loss of his own.

I loved it sooo much. Your writing is so beautiful honestly!!" (Reliverelove)

But he hasn't stopped looking for her, and it's only a matter of time before he finds her again.
