How does anyone go about reuniting what is connected and broken by something incomprehensible? When two parts of the scale are ripped away and only darkness is left behind in the ring of imbalance, whose duty is it to restore balance and bring about light? The two parts, who never once asked for such a heavy inheritance of responsibility? Those who scrapped the scale and caused the imbalance? Or no one's at all? After all, it is easier to ignore anything when you can turn to death. Or better yet, nonexistence. Ilysia had never known a world of quiet whenever she was around people, even in a room filled with absolute silence. Every single thought echoed into her head and forced itself into comprehension. This led her to a life of unintentional isolation. Her mother called it unknown but a blessing none the less. Ilysia knew each to be a distant lie. What happens when she meets a heavy mind? Within a mysterious women's odd juxtapositionings, the pit of vastness Illysia had always known somehow vanish. Kairos had never truly felt a single version of herself. A truth ever hidden behind the heir of her father's empire, the golden daughter she mimmiced, Xena Holloway, someone she was not. And yet... despite her inability to understand who she was and her own emotions, there was the ability to feel the very cores of them in everyone else's heart. It was a gift to Xena, a gift to her father. Life and leverage. To Kairos, it was a curse that stripped endlessly at her soul. Suffocating. Absolute. Until she met a heart that bore unknown emotion, in which, for the first time, she caught a glimpse of her own heart. In a single person, she... felt alive. The story of two souls - a strong mind and a determined heart. The tale of two women. The telling of Noè and Kairos.

The night Maelys was born, a storm made a decision for her. A desperate woman, a coerced midwife, and a courtyard where someone died in the rain conspired to place one infant in a palace and erase another from the record entirely. Twenty-two years later, someone has come to unmake it, and she has twenty-two years of righteous fury, a powerful patron, and the specific weapon of a truth that supports multiple stories at once. Raised in the painted corridors and orange-blossom courtyards of Solenir Palace, Maelys knows how to read a room before she enters it, how to wear humor like armor over something more serious underneath, and how to survive in a court that admires her with one hand and doubts her with the other. She has been exceptional here her entire life. She knows what exceptions are for. When the girl she unknowingly replaced arrives with documents, damage, and the kind of righteous anger that is the most dangerous kind because it is not entirely wrong, nothing careful is enough anymore. With a conspiracy threading through the court's most elegant rooms, a bodyguard who has been keeping a report in a locked box for eight years waiting for the right person to receive it, and a crown prince who asks before he touches and is not without fault and is learning the difference between those two facts, Maelys must fight for her name, her life, and the identity she has spent twenty-two years choosing rather than receiving. This is a slow burn interracial historical romance with explicit intimacy, graphic violence, and a world that does not soften its edges for the comfort of anyone in it. It is a story about what is owed and what is chosen, about love as a continuous practice rather than a destination, about darkness that stays and is carried rather than resolved, and about a woman who refuses, repeatedly, in every room that tries to define her, to let anyone else decide who she is. Dark. Tender. Permanent. Earned. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.

Besides: who else but the awkward Englishman would make sure the chicken she had in her suitcase was looked after when she accidentally switched them? *In this version, Celia replaces Jacob (Yes, I love him too.) *Also not a romance. At least not intentionally. *Coming sequel kind of is though. Couldn't help myself apparently.
