"The sound of glass shattering.
The screams of terror and pain.
All hell breaks loose."
Cara lives in a world where she is deemed lesser because she isn't an Aurelian. Aurelians dominate the kingdom of Serola - and the world. They are the only ones able to wield powers and therefore claim their place as the rulers. Cara's questionable and uncertain past causes her to harbor a deep resentment for them, and she is determined never to fall into their grasp. However, she finds herself in the lion's den when a tragedy causes her to reveal secrets she herself didn't know she kept.
Cara ends up in a place that forces her to relive some of her most traumatizing memories. With each passing day, she is given more than one reason to sleep with one eye open. As Cara spends more time surrounded by her enemies, she unearths shocking information about everything she knows, and everything she is.

⸻ Beneath the Crown In a kingdom where duty is shackles and power is a curse, Aurelia Hayse was born to wear the crown-or at least, to marry the man who would. But before fate could seal her in a gilded cage, she vanished. Now, under the name Annie Harper, she hides in the chaos of the Aberrant Trials, where outcasts and fighters with unnatural abilities battle for survival. She never planned to stay. She never planned to care. But when she crosses paths with Christian Hunter-a cunning combatant with the rare ability to steal the powers of others-her carefully built disguise begins to crack. As the Trials push them to the edge, secrets unravel, enemies close in, and the past she abandoned refuses to stay buried. Because Annie isn't the only one running from the crown. And in the end, there may be no escape from the fate written in blood. The only way to survive is to fight. The only way to win is to become the monster they fear. ⸻ [COMPLETED] [DUAL POV]Complete

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
