The Kingdom of Smoke and Secrets
Eight Houses. One Kingdom. A fragile peace that hides cracks deep enough to shatter everything. Prince Aurelien of House Chrysos is bound by duty, expectation, and a crown he's not sure he wants. Sent on a royal tour across the elemental Houses, he begins to see the Kingdom not through the eyes of an heir, but as a man-one who questions the balance of power and the cracks beneath the surface. Tala of House Zoetic is a gifted Healer, tied to the land and its creatures through an unbreakable bond. But her choice to walk a different path than her family has cost her dearly. When her world collides with Auro's, their fragile alliance begins to spark with something more-something neither of them is ready to face. Jessamy of House Verdant is running-from her past, from her failures, and from a choice she cannot take back. Following a mysterious pull deep into forbidden territory, she discovers a truth long buried, one that could set the Kingdom ablaze or save it from ruin. But rebellion stirs in the shadows, and secrets older than the Kingdom itself are beginning to resurface. In a land where fire dances, water sings, and shadows keep their own counsel, every choice carries a price. Some paths are chosen. Some are forged in fire. And some lead to the edge of everything.Complete

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
