The sky broke centuries ago, and the world has never truly healed. When the Veil separating the realms shattered during the Sundering, it left behind a wound known as the Veilscar. Beyond its borders, corruption twists the land and warps magic into something feared as much as it is revered. Though kingdoms endure beneath the watch of angels and ancient faith, the fragile peace they have built is beginning to crack. Seraphina has spent her life believing the Veil must be protected at any cost. Raised to serve the Crown and obey the truths she was taught, she has never questioned her purpose. Until a mission into the scarlands changes everything. After surviving an encounter that should have killed her, Seraphina begins to experience impossible visions and awaken powers tied to the very force she has spent her life fearing. As long-buried secrets rise to the surface, she finds herself caught between Prince Leo, the future king she has sworn to follow, and Kael, a mysterious stranger who seems to know more about her than she does herself. The deeper Seraphina searches for answers, the more she uncovers a history built on lies. Ancient sanctuaries are awakening. Forgotten powers are stirring. And something beyond the Veilscar has been waiting for her. Because the truth about the Sundering could reshape everything the realms believe about their history, their faith, and their future. And before it is over, Seraphina may have to decide whether the world is worth saving as it is-or whether it was always meant to become something new.

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗦. 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗦. 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧. Attending the University of Lavantia is a privilege reserved for the brightest, most determined-and more often than not, the richest-students. Twenty-one-year-old Karla Ravenberg has no wealth or connections. An orphan raised in a psychiatric asylum, she survives by completing assignments for affluent classmates while maintaining the standards required for her scholarship. After three grueling years, however, her grades are suffering, fewer students are willing to pay for her work, and her dream of becoming a healer is slipping away. Everything changes when the university announces its annual competition. The winner will receive a prestigious internship and a cash prize large enough to secure Karla's future. There is only one problem: to win, she must face three impossibly difficult trials, outsmart her most talented peers, and work alongside her greatest academic rival, Prince Ron von Krey. Cold and arrogant, Ron is determined to stand in her way at every turn. But as the competition forces them into an uneasy alliance, Karla discovers that beneath his icy exterior lies a dangerous secret-one that may be connected to her. Then again... she has secrets of her own. Perfect Poison is a slow-burn fantasy romance set in a world of mystical forests, lethal dragons, and forbidden powers punishable by torture and death. It combines the magical academia of Blood Over Bright Haven with the emotionally driven romance of Divine Rivals.

*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.

A mystery she cannot resist. And a fool she cannot forget.

She is the Princess, and he's her guard. A lust that's forbidden. - Princess Celeste Lawerence is a snotty, rebellious, and vain temptress. At least, that's what the kingdom of Alvera says she is. Landing every one of her personal guards in exile or worse after they made advances for her. With her seductive gowns and devastating beauty, Celeste's reputation proceeds her. Every guard in Alvera knows she is a death sentence. Even the guard they say will be immune to her. Gray Anderson devoted his life to protecting the people of Alvera. However, he despises the royal family. Gray's loyalty is to the heart of the people, not the crown. His bloodthirsty skills and ruthless nature earned him the second-highest rank of Lieutenant General. He barely ever set foot in the castle where the royals resided; instead, he led battalions and stayed on the front lines with his troops. And that's where he wants to stay. But when he's called in before the king and queen, Gray is given a new purpose-Princess Celeste's new private guard. She's determined to get rid of him like the others, and he's ready to tame the unpredictable Princess. However, lust burns hot, and it threatens to burn both of them.
