As a new queen rises to power, the kings of Caeleste grow unrest. The Inlustris in their sights, they send an assassin to Antonella Feulune's palace, and the war is declared. Inexperienced and filled with grief, Antonella sends off her fiancé on a thirty day trip to get her a rose in hopes of feeling better. She takes the opportunity to use her magic to disguise herself as a commoner and escapes palace grounds, her goal to find all the information needed to defeat the surrounding kingdoms of Caeleste before they flattened them into nothing. When she runs into dangerous rogue gang, the Tenebrosus Bleeders, she's forced to join them to avoid having her head severed from her body. Parading around as a gang member, she must keep up with her disguise. Tensions are heightening. The people are turning against her. The land of Caeleste is suffering. But she will not allow the Inlustris to fall into the hands of the greedy, and she's not afraid to burn everything to the ground to protect it. A battle of light and dark magic, buried secrets, manipulation, and betrayal. ********************* Cover: @aneonsky

Darkness is creeping in from the edges of the empire. A threat that has been all but lost to history is rising again. Cassia Auralius is the first female Heir of the Empire of Metus to not abdicate her right to the throne. Behind her is a line of warrior-kings and sacred laws. Before her is an uncertain future painted in blood. Opposed by her father and challenged by her brothers, Cassia must first prove herself worthy of the throne gifted by the gods. Ancient trials--trials she must not fail--will test her strength, both of her mind and her heart. The first trial--three long travel years cut off from her family and her own nobility--will soon begin. If Cassia can survive, she will be one step closer to her throne. A throne that will soon be under a threat she could never have imagined. Cassia will need allies, both common and strange to defeat this threat. If she fails in this, she will lose not only her throne, but her empire. Amazing cover by @StormRidden Copyright © 2019
