#161 in Fantasy~ In a land where magic belongs solely to the gods, Talia Kinsley struggles to hide the unpredictable power that her younger sister Willow seems to have been cursed with. Powers, that if discovered, could get her killed.
  
So when men show up at their home, knowing of Willow's power and take her to Fairhaven, the royal city, Talia has no choice but to follow, prepared to do anything to free her sister.  But once there, the Royal Council reveals that Willow has been blessed by the goddess Melora herself, and is destined to rule Lumor as it's queen. Having no place in Willow's new royal life, Talia is cast aside and joins the new recruits of the royal army, refusing to leave her sister at the mercy of the Council.

Struggling with being the only female in the recruits and protecting a sister who now wants nothing to do with her, Talia must unravel the secrets of the darkness lurking in the castle and find a way to stop the necromancer on the hunt for her sister. Finding unexpected allies like the charming Captain DeGray and Hale Rennick, a fellow recruit determined to help her, Talia begins a fight, not just for her sister's life and soul, but for the fate of the whole kingdom.

From the day she discovered her magical talents, Talwyn Farrier has been haunted by the same dream. Stranded in unfamiliar lands, she's tormented by swarming shadows, her missing father's cries, and the full face of the green moon, Vidias, looming over her. When her latest hope for insight into her dream hits another dead end, she's convinced her journey to the jungle-bound city of Trocari was all for nothing. New places bring new possibilities, however. After a fateful meeting with a travelling trio and their eccentric benefactor, Talwyn receives a golden opportunity to find the answers she needs in exchange for filling in on a routine job. Yet the work lures her down much darker paths of mysterious disappearances, political machinations, and otherworldly influences that soon seem all too familiar to her. Dangers mundane and magical gather at every turn. As their quest takes them beyond - and below - the bustling streets of Trocari, risks and revelations push Talwyn and her companions to their limits. Can they unearth the source of the corruption at the city's heart? How far will they go to protect their new bonds? And how does it all connect to the secrets locked in Talwyn's ever-present dream? ------ Updates on Thursdays.

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.
