reg·i·cide
ˈrejəˌsīd/
noun
noun: regicide
1. the action of killing a king.
a person who kills or takes part in killing a king.
plural noun: regicides

The Kingdom of Vales is in ruin, its buildings abandoned and collapsing, its people living in the streets and the sewers, killing for a slice of bread. Anyone who speaks out is publicly executed - on the orders of the insane King Darius.

 Klaire has been raised in an estate in the Deloph Mountains. She's had a sheltered life, away from the horrors of the rest of the country, under the impression that she is the daughter of a dead lord. On her nineteenth birthday, the truth of her identity revealed to her.

Horrified by the truth, Klaire runs to Briarmare City to help in any way she can, which she does by joining the rebellion harboring in the sewers. But when the rebellion presents Klaire with a plan to take down the crown, Klaire is pushed to the test - after all, to follow through with the plan, Klaire has to murder her brother and father. But of course, nothing goes to plan.

ᴀɴ ɪꜱᴇᴋᴀɪ ꜰᴀɴᴛᴀꜱʏ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ -: ̗̀➛ Awakening in a world beyond her own, she finds herself in a body she doesn't recognise - shattered, bruised, and bearing the name 𝒩𝒾𝓇𝓋𝒶𝓃𝒶 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝒹𝒾𝓈 𝒮𝒾𝓃𝒸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓇. In this perilous new reality, survival becomes her only focus, as she grapples with the stark truth: her only power is what she can seize to protect herself. Powerless and alone, Nirvana's plans are born from sheer necessity rather than careful strategy. With nothing to her existence but a name and a broken body, she must forge her own path, uncovering the dark secrets of this world while clinging to the fragments of her former self. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and yet slowly but surely, there are those who would kill for her and those who might die because of her. But 𝒜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝓍𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓃𝑒 is neither ally nor enemy - he is an enigma she cannot ignore. Once a boy of striking beauty, his fleeting, tender glances hinted at a curiosity she barely acknowledged. A decade later, he has transformed into a man hardened by the ruthless pursuit of the crown, his once-soft gaze now a burning desire that defies reason. His obsession with Nirvana is both relentless and terrifying. His pursuit becomes an unyielding storm that threatens to engulf them both, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in its wake. What should be his undoing instead drives him deeper into madness, convinced that she is his by some cosmic right. Nirvana knows she should resist, that allowing this dangerous dance to continue could spell ruin for them both. Yet, the dark allure of his obsession, the haunting sweetness of the chaos he brings, draws her in against her will.

A year after her encounter with the Enchanted Queen, Syrene Alpenstride has found a new life, met new people, given herself a new name. Hidden from the queen, the ripper, the responsibilities waiting to be claimed in the tribes, the past year has been peaceful. Little does she know the future awaiting is quite the opposite, if not the power frozen in her veins. Untrained, uneducated about the beast within her, Syrene finds that having power isn't always delightful. And numbing it is far, far worse. Although, things change when her path, once again, collides with Azryle Wintershade. Another powerful Vegreka who'd known nothing but violence. Destruction. Meanwhile Syrene is learning about her limits, the Queen of Cleystein is constructing a plan and searching for the Elite Kaerions. Syrene is meant to be a savior, but how did one save when all they touched was destroyed? Could a monster rule and bring peace?
