Life begats death, at least that's the motto of Evelyn Legrand. On a daily she tries and helps trapped spirits housed within dolls, puppets, and even death masks find peace or some closure. Most days she seems far to busy to focus on anything besides work and her recovering health. Spirits continue to open mysteries that she is driven to solve. But when Howell, the owner of an enchanted puppet, crosses her path Evelyn's days are never the same.
Howell is artistic, over confident, outgoing, and well versed in playing the flute. He is polite and kind but also dismissive. Even with his albinism he strives to make a name for himself in the world of music. Although his habits are flighty, and he tends to go from one woman to the other without hesitation. Between his teaching, his contract with the Royal Orchestra, and his street show, Howell has an endless career ahead of him.
What happens when a magic puppet, and a few other darker forces make them to cross paths again and again? A new world of light, laughter, and even love is revealed.

My breath was shaky as I whispered, closer to hip lips. 'Promise you won't do it. Promise that you won't marry her.' He lent a bit more forward and I felt his also racing heart beat against my own chest. I couldn't bear having him so close, not being able to touch his lips with mine before he said the words. I could see in his milky eyes that his mind was getting more blank by the feeling of my fingers that had found his hair. 'Please,' I asked, and he took one, long breath. 'I promise, I will-' but that was all I needed before I pressed my eager lips against his, gripping his hair more tightly and pulling him closer than I ever had before."

A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
