While the kings of neighbouring countries, Kralken and Vakaaria, stir hatred within their peoples against each other, sorcerers are hunted under the Decree of Death and dryads are kidnapped and bred for battle. People across the kingdoms are frightened, hungry and longing for war.
Valla, a resourceful and resilient girl, lives on an island hidden from the rest of the world. She knows nothing of the impending battle, sorcerers, giants or dryads, but she dreams of a life of her own, free from her harsh uncle and the boredom of village life. When tragedy strikes, Valla flees with two mysterious companions.
As Valla tries to figure out what she wants from her new life, she struggles with her feelings for the mysterious boy with so many secrets, and her feelings for the omniscient sorcerer that haunts her dreams. And all the while an evil stirs in a black tower...
As Valla finds herself betrayed and uncertain of who she can trust, she turns to the enigmatic sorcerer who speaks to her in the night, who whisks her away to the secret obsidian pillar and offers her safety.
With allegiances tested, and friendships broken, Valla fights to save those she loves at the risk of losing herself.

Lucia of Isgan is the beloved princess of the kingdom. Adored by her citizens, respected by her peers, and loved beyond measure by the king, she didn't want for anything.

Until Nyx, the large black dragon, was unceremoniously dropped into her world. Now the two have to navigate allies trying to force Lucia's hand while traversing their own traitorous feelings. Will Lucia choose love, or sacrifice everything for her kingdom and her people? Nyx has been plagued by strange voices from the day of his birth, demanding death and destruction wherever he went. Untill he met Lucia, the kingdom's princess and the decendant of a race that had enslaved his kin for centuries. Now he found himself falling for the fierce blond human that seemed hell bent on sacrificing herself for her people. For Nyx, a selfish, self-centered dragon, her reasoning is irrational and utterly foolish. In between protecting his new obsession and convincing her that he was worth falling for, can the two navigate the political plays and ultimately end up together. Or will Nyx be destined to watch the things he loves burn to the ground?

Moonfire & Midnight Pt 2
Once the dazzling darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian's future is stolen when her father remarries and produces a male heir. Cast aside and exiled into a political marriage at the empire's volatile border, she expects to disappear quietly into irrelevance. Instead, she finds Chenzhou. Quiet, honorable, and already dying from a mysterious poison no one can name, Chenzhou has no interest in court politics-or in the wife forced upon him. But Eirian is not a woman who fades. As she pushes her magic into the land, restoring a dying estate, she begins to uncover the truth behind his illness-and the enemies gathering around them. It is through Chenzhou that she meets Mingzhe, a trusted figure from the court and one of the few men who moves easily between worlds. What begins as cautious cooperation grows into something rare: a fragile bond of trust between three people navigating power, loyalty, and survival in a court that has already discarded them. Together, they begin to rebuild-strengthening the borderlands, stabilizing Chenzhou's condition, and quietly resisting the forces working against them. But the deeper Eirian digs, the clearer the truth becomes. Chenzhou's illness is no accident. It is the foundation of a long-buried conspiracy within the powerful Yang family-one designed to reshape the empire itself. And Mingzhe, unknowingly entangled through years of quiet influence and misplaced trust, stands at the center of it. What began as loyalty becomes betrayal-not born of malice, but of manipulation-and its consequences threaten to destroy everything they have built. With war rising at the borders and treachery rooted deep within the court, Eirian and Chenzhou must decide whether trust can be rebuilt-or if survival demands something colder. It's the truth that might finish what it started.
