Harriet has always been the type of girl who would rather ride horses than stitch embroidery, practice her sword-fighting than practice her curtsies, and she'd rather dream about being the first female knight in all of history instead of a docile wife on some nobleman's arm. When a war between the allies of Ecrivenia and the kingdom of Carigan starts to brew, Harriet begins to wonder if it might just be her chance to become the knight she's always wished to be. Taking a chance, Harriet enlists in the King's Army, disguising herself as the red-headed, slight-figured, and quick-witted boy, Harry. However, when she is put under the charge of the handsome and strict King of Marenta, Leopold, she realizes her troubles are just beginning. Not only will she have to keep the other men from noticing she is a woman, but she will also have to put up with the scrutiny of King Leopold, the best friend of her brother-in-law. Throw in grueling training sessions, whispers of treason, and the enemy's secret weapon, Harriet suddenly finds herself thrust into the reality of being a knight in a war that might not be able to be won. ------ This is a sister novel to the first draft of Glass Slippers. The gorgeous cover is made by the amazing @solidarity_! Make sure to check her work out if you get the chance!

The boundaries between real and myth may be fading, but the people of Iherion is not prepared to face the nightmares from their childhood, nor are they willing to accept an orphaned, power-less girl as one of their own. When Khoeli leaves behind the monastery where she grew up, she unknowingly sets into motion plans that have been brewing for hundreds and hundreds of years. But with a past that's still foggy and little idea of the power she holds, how can she ever learn to lead Iherion against the shadows? Are the shadows even the true enemy? The fall of the Tu'uli upended Zamir's former life as a guard's son. Distraught and left fatherless by the murders, he unwittingly formed a lifelong contract with the mythical Mo'ori - gifting him with raw power flowing through his veins. But when a retrieval mission puts him face to face with a person he thought was dead, it takes every ounce of his being to hold back the truth about her past. While Khoeli takes her first steps into her newfound powers, Zamir grapples with a terrifying secret as the ghosts of the two's tangled past come to collect their dues.
