It's been three months since Lyla, Aveline, and Ari's adventure rescuing the kidnapped princes and princesses in Diviel, and Lyla couldn't be more content. Her kingdom has welcomed her back with open arms, and she is free to travel the ocean as she wishes with Apreuna's cheeky new emissaries Ari and Aveline.
But not everyone is enjoying palace life; Aveline and Ari are growing impatient with the royal balls, luxurious attires and restricting lifestyles of the upper-class. So when a new, albeit odd assignment opens up in the colorful Eastern kingdom of Verignes, they jump at the chance to get away.
But when strange things start happening, they realize that something dark is lurking underneath the ostentatious ways of the kingdom- and Lyla, Ari, and Aveline are determined to figure out just what it is. In the next installment of the Kings and Thieves series, Lyla and her pirates must face the threat of new enemies with old friends as they struggle to protect the innocent inhabitants of their world - people and creatures alike.

See link for Official Book Trailer! ~ When you wake up in a village on the seaside for Pirates, tied to a pole, having just figured out you had been kidnapped, while the man who caught you is trying to sell you for gold, things get complicated. Luckily, or maybe it's unfortunately, you're bought by a young, good-looking, modest Captain who knows EXACTLY who you are. But what he's going to do with that knowledge, you're not so sure. ~ You, my friend, I am proud to pronounce as the Princess of Etholira. You are currently sixteen. And you get pretty much anything you want. And you're the prettiest girl in Etholira. Sounds pretty nice, right? Well, we need something for a story. So, sorry to break it to you, but your Dad, the King, is a bit of a jerk. You're betrothed to an ugly, inconsiderate asswipe. You hate being a princess. Oh, and you've just been captured by pirates. ~ Written: mid-High School 2017 Last Edited: mid-college 2021 Rated: PG13 for sexual references and violence (contains no sexual scenes, cussing is censored)
Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen
20 parts Ongoing
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. 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.

Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown.

Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*

Aveline never expected to find herself in a world like Elarion-vast and brimming with magic beyond her understanding. Called to a land of ancient mysteries and hidden dangers, she must navigate the unknown, uncovering the truth of her own power along the way. But magic is not just a gift-it is a force that shapes destinies, forges alliances, and ignites wars. As Aveline journeys across Elarion, she will meet those who guide her, those who seek to use her, and those who fear what she may become. Friend or foe, light or shadow-nothing is ever as simple as it seems. To survive, Aveline must embrace her strengths, face her weaknesses, and carve her own place in a world that may never accept her. Her story is one of magic, growth, and the choices that define who we are. And in Elarion, every choice has consequences. ~ Hi! This is my first fantasy book, and I hope you enjoy it!
