It's the beginning of a new age when Jaylah Imperatrix seemingly returns from the dead to reclaim her throne. And in perfect timing.
In her absence, evil has begun to rise. Ruthless and bloodthirsty Seifer Daggen will stop at nothing until he usurps the Oceanic throne. He is also relentless in his plans to eradicate Jaylah before she finds him and attempts to end his life.
With the help of mercenary Alexander Khan - whose allegiance is terrifyingly unclear - Jaylah may have a chance to save her nation from the rapidly growing threat.
Jaylah soon finds that her criminal partner can stir up suspicion in her just as easily as he can make her cold heart feel things she's never felt before. But the shakily allied Alexander is not her only concern. The Queen must travel to distant lands, build her court, face an unknown deceiver and realize who she truly is before quenching the fire of revenge in her heart.
Her throne, people, and life depend on it. A crown can be a bloody burden.

,,THE IRON DIVIDE" For generations, war has raged across Tharador, its origins forgotten by all. Maerith hides her identity as a knight, and Calyx is the man both feared and desired. Amid masks, intrigues, and deadly proximity, she must choose: trust... or survival. ... For decades, the great Houses of Veyren and Althaire have drowned the land in endless bloodshed, their feud dividing Tharador across mist-shrouded rivers. Maerith carries the legacy of her fallen father, once loyal to House Veyren, and knows survival is a battle of steel and shadow - but nothing could prepare her for Calyx Althaire: brilliant, ruthless, and feared by all, the one man who could decide her fate with a single motion. To him, she is the key - the one who could bring his enemy to ruin. Captured, betrayed, and forced into proximity with the enemy she was trained to hate, Maerith must navigate a world where every glance hides a blade, every word carries a threat, and trust is a luxury she cannot afford. As storms rage across Tharador, alliances twist and betrayals abound, pushing Maerith and Calyx toward a destiny that neither fully controls. Their journey will demand loyalty, cunning, and the kind of courage that can change the course of kingdoms. In a land ruled by blood, lies, and shifting loyalties, only one thing is certain: Maerith will not go quietly - and neither will he. Enemies to lovers. Masks and deception. Survival, desire, and power collide in a dark fantasy world where hearts are as dangerous as swords.
